Puppets, More Puppets and some Costume prep
The 2011 22nd Annual Timpanogos Storytelling Festival is over.
If you missed it, watch for next year's event on Labor day Weekend.
Or, if you can't wait, there is the Midwinter TSI (Timpanogos Storytelling Institute) in February.
Lex loves helping mom work (scratch that...PLAY) in the Fanfare tent each year!
It's looking official - The OPL's Puppet Festival looks to be an annual thing from now on. Hundreds of kids came, enjoyed free puppet shows from 10-2, created their own marionettes and puppets in the free make and takes, and manipulated a giant marionette to boot. Yeah for some fabulously talented puppet volunteers in our community!
It might be a tad early for Halloween... I take that back, it is not too early if you are a kid. Kids have been planning cotume choices since last November. So it's only early if you've lost some of that kid magic. In any case, I stumbled on some amazing fabrics a few weeks ago, mostly for use in library displays, but one piece in particular is multipurpose... - I had to look up some how-to videos :)
Oh, and soon to come . . . Wannabe Puppet Workshops at the OPL

Too Much a Pirate already...
Recent converstaion with Alexis:
I'm so excited to be a princess for Halloween mom.
That's good honey.
What are you going to be?
I don't know sweetie, I have all those costumes from Summer Reading, I could be Alice, Maid Marion, or a Pirate.
Oh mom, you can't be a PIRATE for Halloween, you're too much of a pirate already and the whole point of Halloween is to be something different than what you are everyday.
...aarrgghh.

Post Halloween
Who else has the Post Halloween Blues?
The house is filled with candy, not candy that I would normally buy, but the kind that I would never in a million years eat, but still found myself snacking on!
The teachers in school made the Kindergarten kids take naps on Thursday and Friday in a vain attempt to counteract the amazing amounts of sugar in the kids systems.
Anyone?
But then, all you have to do is look at this face, and I'd do it all over again (and will next year, I'm sure)
