On the bright side, I am the proud proprietor of a good chunk of the student performers in the latest Missoula Children's Theater production to hit my school. 
It's nothing short of amazing. On Monday, 2 adults and a small beater pickup rolled into town and auditioned 95 kids, kindergarten-fifth grade after school. They assigned parts and in no more than five days of after school rehearsals turned out a musical extravaganza I feel I got every one of my 10 buck's worth from. Trueby and her two buddies had a great time and so did I. It must be said, I was swelling with pride for the ones I shouldn't, but do take credit for. True was so excited that they were excited to see her. Mom, they keep saying hi to me! Yeah, I talk about you just a little bit. She's like a celebrity at my school!

We had dinner after, two moms and I. Doing our best to keep the girls from being "those girls" at the restaurant. I love getting these three together. They are so easy and natural together. Just like family. I love it!
Speaking of....check out this sky.

I just adore watching her suck up a smoothie. She just adores it. She looks like such a little girl. These are the expressions that are going to stick in my mind when she graduates and becomes an adult. A friend just told me his daughter will start high school next fall at the high school where we went. I can't imagine how weird that must be.
In case you're wondering what the best song in the world is right now, check this out. I can't get enough of this guy at all, Greg Laswell, and this song in particular. I literally listen to it in a non-stop loop as I'm correcting honest to god mountains of science. I even dream it since it's so embedded in my brain.
