RATATOUILLE CONTINUED
family their eviction notice. Stanley went MIA. Apparently he went
down into the crawl space where Ratatouille was living. Stanley nearly
scared the crap out of when he came up from behind me looking like this.
A TOUCHING MOMENT
During intermission at last night's performance, Mimi was stopped by a very nice elderly couple who was very taken by her performance. We chatted for a while and the gentle shared stories of how when he was young his mother would make him practice the very same song of Estralita and his only wish was to go outside and play with his friends.
Later when the recital I congratulated his teenage granddaughter on well she played a lullaby piece. Just as it is a woman's prerogative, she changed her mind after the programs were printed as to what piece she was going to play. Therefore it is not in the program. None the less, it was a beautiful piece to play and the huge church windows with the outdoor trees in the background made the song sound even prettier. The family then went outside to take pictures while the grandfather shared with me about how they (performer's family) lost a young daughter just last month and that this piece was dedicated in memory of her. The grandfather started to tear up and we hugged.

WHO'S THAT????
Better take a good look now because it will be a loonng time till you see her in a dress again. That was the one draw back to tonight's recital. Believe it or not, this picture was taken after everything was said and done. This is what 9:00 at night looks like. Hence the blackout curtains for this girl. At least till Wednesday night. Come next month, it will be like this at 10:00 pm.
ESTRALITA
Tonight was Mimi's first piano recital at John the Baptist Catholic Church. Erin could not make it but Halliwell and her mom did. Halli presented Mimi with the card and flowers during the intermission. That was soooooo sweet of her. We are so proud of our little girl. She really practiced hard on this piece. It darn near killed me in the process. Mimi really hates to practice anything but she loves the attention it gives her. I was way more nervous than she was. Playing in front of others did not phase her one bit.
PAJAMA DAY
It's sometimes amazing to me how things have changed since I went to elementary school. We never got to do fun things such as wear pj's to school let alone pants and jeans. We were thrilled that the teacher actually let us take our shoes off on the rainy days.
As you may have guessed that although Mimi still a couple of days left till school is out for the summer, her mind has completely gone sayonara for the past week. All she would talk about is the limbo party, pajama day (today), good-bye party and MUD aka move up day (tomorrow) and the family fun center on Wednesday.
Today the kids go a chance to meet their new principal. I have yet to meet him. So far everyone seems pleased with him. They say that he is quite young (42yrs old) and grew up in the Tahoma school system so he is quite well known. We'll see. I really liked Ms. Hard but she is moving up to bigger and better things. She will be missed greatly by everyone.
