On Friday night, we went as a family to see Sam perform in her Spring Play at school. The kids had been practicing for two weeks -- lots of songs with the cutest little cat costumes. It was all that I heard about for the whole last week ... where I was to drop her off, what time we had to be there, what she was to wear, and how she was going to get her face painted.
I have to admit that my patience did run a little thin during dinner the night of the event. I finally had to (very sternly) inform her that I was aware of the schedule and that there was no way that we were going to miss anything. She was SO excited!
Steve and I decided that it would be best to take two vehicles. He would take her to school and arrive at 6:30 pm. I would follow later with Sophia and Jack, arriving just a few minutes before 7. Steve saved us some seats and that way the little kids (Sophia and Jack did not get too antsy). Looking back, this was a good plan because we ended up not getting home until 9 pm -- way past their bedtimes!
The Spring Play that was performed was called "The Villan of Venice." It had an Italian background, obviously ... And I was amazed at the number of songs that Sam had memorized for the production. She did so well!

Jack did great. He got a little antsy in the last 10 minutes (having sat in his car seat and then on our laps for an hour and a half). Steve took him to the back of the auditorium and the change in scenery did wonders for him.
It was a wonderful night to spend as a family and I am so glad that we were able to partake. Great job, Samantha!
