GREASE

Will and I took Sophia and Lilly to see the musical GREASE earlier tonight at one of the local high schools and they absolutely loved it.  The girls were completely unfamiliar with the story so I wasn't sure they would enjoy it, but boy was I wrong.  Sophia was all smiles the whole show.  It may not have helped that one of the "bad boys" winked at her as he walked down the aisle to enter the stage in the opening scene.  I whispered in her ear that he was flirting with her and I think I saw her blush...oh yeah, did I mention it was dark!?

I could tell that towards the end of the second act Lilly was getting tired because she climbed up into Will's lap.  I asked her if she liked the show when we got home and she simply said "I DON'T KNOW".  That's how tired she was.  At one point three girls came out and did a tap dance number.  When I told Lilly what they were doing she really perked up.  She takes tap and has a recital coming up in June where she'll do a tap and a ballet number with the rest of the girls in her dance class. Sophia will be in the audience this year watching.  She's excited about that!

At intermission Sophia and I read the entire outline of the act and scenes.  She must have memorized it because each time the stage went black and the crew was changing the sets she announced to me what they were doing.  And, she was right each time.  Amazing.

Well, I need to sign off for now because it's St. Patrick's Day Eve and I have to pretend I'm a leprechaun and go reek havoc on the house!  Also, I have to remember how to set up Sophia's leprechaun trap because she's trying to catch the little bugger!
