KC's Snow White School Play

My daughter KC was chosen as one of the 2 to play Snow White for their school's play. I know she auditioned for it and she worked hard to memorize her lines. They ended up having 2 shows--- one for parents and the other for the kids at school. I usually have no sched conflicts because they do it in the morning but this time, they had the parents' show in the evening----yup, you guessed it. I am messed up again. I need to be at work those hours. Those who are  new reading this blog and not know that I work 3pm-11pm, I will spare you my usual crappy complaints but you need to know, this is not good for me. The show is at 6? Wowzee? I guess I am an anomaly in the scheduling world so I guess I need to just shrug it off. I was able to make a couple of switches at work to make it--not that I would have not gone if they did not allow me. For goodness sake---this is my kid and I need to be there---work is secondary, right? Hahahah. You should come work at my place and see how.... blah blah blah...

Can I just tell you? These kids worked hard and boy, were they good! No, not good--- they were awesome! Unbelievable!  I  was there early because I volunteered to do the make-up. What was I thinking? Working 2 shifts (3pm-7am ) then going to school at 430pm to do the make-up? Well, what do you know?  I have gained so much from that volunteer job. I saw why my daughter loves this after school program. The kids are great, the teachers are dedicated--- you can feel they enjoy each other and that they like what they are doing. There were a few smiles and a whole lot of giggling while putting make-up on---the boys all needed make-up and you can only imagine the fun they had. Being surrounded by kids is the most awesome feeling. Yes, you may need to ask them to tone the noise down a little, or you may have to tell them to stop teasing but the joy you feel is beyond explanation. These group of kids are exceptional--- the teachers were saying how they struggled in the beginning and as they went along, knowing each other, building confidence and enjoying their time together-- there was so much progress and you can see it in the camaraderie they have developed.


And so, I did make-up with another parent volunteer and I love it. KC and all the girls were lovely and a joy to be with. The boys? They are the most game!!! No hesitations whatsoever! Professional! I  love them all. It was so much fun---more fun than I thought. Maybe because I was relieving my high school days.... maybe....


Anyway, here are the pictures and I hope you like them...

The seven dwarves... they are so funny. I can't tell you how much the
younger kids laughed  with their antics...

The forest animals. This group is so funny while I was putting make-up. They asked me to make them look  really good because they are animals. Funny.

The mirror and the "very vain" Queen

Snow White and the animals with the dwarves' little house.

The Queen and her evil spirits

The "possessed Queen"  and the spirits

The Queen tricking Snow White

Finally, the Prince kissed Snow White....

Snow White(s) marrying the Prince

The best theater group  ever. Even if they are neophytes, I love their super close relationship.

BFF(s) Enie, Carol and Karmina. Funny how KC's two best buds are the Queens---Vain  and Evil.

I can't tell you how lucky I am to have my very own Snow White-- my own slice of royalty. I am fortunate to have KC because she is sweet and intelligent. She works hard and is very persistent. I love how everyone seems to like her in school and I told her how one parent told me she is everybody's crush in school---boy , did she hate that. She's like--- "Mom, please don't call me popular or famous." I told her that's what the teachers and parents tell me and she's like, ok, let;'s just say I am well liked. See, she does not like to be calle popular, she says on TV shows she watches, popular girls are always the meanies and not-so-intelligent. So she does not like to be popular. Oh, boy, I wanted to be popular... NOT!

Here's our usual crew--- the Llaga(s). I love it when family gives you so much importance and love. Isn't that what family is suppose to be?

And can you tell me if you find  any cuter baby than this little munchkin? My grandnephew Joey is my kids favorite...

After the show, the family headed to --- where else? EAT! We went to Minado !! Yeebah. And we all live happily ever after. The End.
