Showtime!

I am drawing breath today after what seems to have been the busiest school term ever for my three kiddies. Term 3 at our school culminates in musical performances. I help out with the costume making which is great fun.
It is always such a privilege to work with the children & get to know them a little.
And of course, there is enormous satisfaction in sitting in the audience, enjoying the sea of colour and watching the whole show come together.
This year's musical was a Zorro inspired work, so lots of bright colours, sombreros & twirling skirts.

  1. What a great looking show. I helped costume making this year too and loved it. It makes the night extra special seeing it all come together. Love all the colours.

  4. It looks like it was a lot of fun. Haven't been to a school musical since I was at school but they formed many great memories. I am certain the kids, or their mums, appreciated your help.

  8. I agree that getting to know the children your own children spend the day with is a privilege. I always tried to be one of the volunteers at my children´s school.
