At dinner tonight the boys told us how they made up some funny stuff while they lie in bed last night.
Benny said, “Let’s think of opposites for some shows and movies.”
Mikey responded, “OK. Go!”

At the beginning of November I found out that our little town had an art program—a really great art program. We immediately checked into it, and Olivia and Benjamin got in on the acting class. This weekend their six weeks of classes paid off as they were part of an adaptation of the classic, The Tortoise and The Hare.
Olivia was cast as The Hare and Benny was a supporting character. They memorized their parts wonderfully, and made us very proud. Now they can’t wait to be part of the next production. I, too, can’t wait!
