M&M both performed in the school talent show this year.
Arissa was all set to enter also, but due to circumstances beyond her control, her group fell apart at the very last second.
I felt so bad for her.
She was a trooper though, and still came to support her sisters of course. Turned out a friend of hers was in charge of lighting and had Arissa help her with that, so she was happy.
For Mariah's dance, there's a line that goes "I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me" so I thought they could go with the a beauty queen theme. I envisioned beauty pageant sashes, which are silk, and I was wondering how I could find silk that wouldn't slouch and that would look right. Then I learned that they SELL rolls of silk so all I had to do was cut and sew. The girls provided their own tiaras which was a perfect touch, and I did those silk sashes.....personalized with their names:
How cute are theyyyyy!
But whatever they happened to throw on coordinated better than anything we could have planned and they looked perfect.
You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on the weaker man"
So we took out all the words except a "You" at the beginning of the phrase here and there so the girls could follow along. It worked out and they did perfectly.
True or False: All the other groups followed the rules too and nearly killed themselves trying to make it work.
Of course not.
It's ok though.
Just to make things MORE hectic for us, I also brought balloons for each of the girls in the groups (plus Arissa) so I had to keep track of 8 mylar balloons, keep them un-tangled to hand out at the end. One guy came up to me and thought we were selling them. Which gave me an idea for next year....
