Check, Please!

Check Please! is the name of the one act play that A performed in on Wednesday morning at school. He is taking Drama at school and he was talked into doing some acting. Check, Please! is a funny play about a whole bunch of bad first dates. Either the man is strange or the woman is strange.

I found a YouTube of some excellent actors doing it.




A played a self-centered man who doesn't really acknowledge his date and in a another section of the play, he wore a burlap sack as if that was a normal thing.

Here is the link to the video that I took of A in the play. Link.

Other students were able to attend the play, including his younger brother. The audience was quite large. There are two other plays being performed this week.

I'm so proud of A for stretching himself to try a new skill. He did great!

Teen New Year's Eve Party

My youngest son invited his friends over to our house for New Year's Eve. Four boys were able to come. They all slept over. I bought a lot of appetizers to feed them. Mozzarella sticks, potato skins, pizza rolls, and jalapeno poppers. I had planned to do meatballs in the crock pot for them but my shoulder pain flared up and I wasn't feeling up to that. J played "mom" and warmed up the appetizers in the oven. J got them to wear the NYE hats for this photo.

They came over about 8 pm. They played Monopoly, poker (which C taught them), and watched some movies. I was really miserable with my shoulder pain so I pretty much stayed in bed all evening. I was able to sleep through the noise using ear plugs! They all slept in the living room. We fed them bacon in the morning and their parents picked them up after 9:30 am.Pin It
