Crazy Hair Day

This morning H tells me "Mom, it's Crazy Hair Day." I just love when she springs things on me the morning of a special event. Here's what we came up with on short notice. I had to get ready for work too.

N...with his faux-hawk:

Then for H -- she wanted her growing out bangs to be in a pony tail. Problem was she did a face-plant yesterday on the playground and had big scrapes so she needed Neosporin on them to keep them moist. Didn't want the hair sticking to them. So...we braided it and put it in a loop. Did the same thing with the hair in back. 

You can see her scrapes here. Last night she looked in the mirror and said sadly, "This is the ugliest I have ever looked in my entire life." Diva. 

Oh Donald...

N...oh my boy...he just commented on the photos of H. He said, "H is a quail!!!" I actually had to snort. I couldn't stop it. He's right. She looks like a quail. :)

My daughter...the Oompa Loompa

Oompa Loompa doompadee doo 

I’ve got another puzzle for you 

Oompa Loompa doompadah dee 

If you are wise you’ll listen to me

Hmmm...I fail to see the resemblence but...

Yesterday H tried out for Willy Wonka Jr. for a summer play. Rehearsals will start in June and the play will be in August for two full weekends. She was hoping for Violet or Veruca Salt. I was proud of her audition. She went on stage quite confidently and sang a song even though we didn't know she had to. She used arm movements and dance and moved around the stage which most kids did not do. She read her lines (the few they gave her...I think they kinda sorted her into the "chorus" group) like a champ...a quiet champ...but a champ nonetheless. And she learned the dance with the other kids. Tripped over her other left foot a few times but for the most part showed that the dance classes have been paying off. Woo hoo! 

So, for a first audition with a community theater group..not bad. An oompa loompa.
