CHICAGO! was fantastic yesterday. Absolutely amazing! As I said before, Paige Davis played the part of 'Roxie,' and she was just so phenomenal to watch. Cute as a button, and so good at delivering her lines and songs. Tom Wopat played the male lead of Billy Flynn, and his performance was a far cry from that of his Dukes of Hazzard days - I was very impressed. It was really just an amazing show - start to finish - and it was such a good birthday present. Heather had bought GOOD seats - centered Loge seats - and it was just great! I feel like there just aren't enough good words! :-)

We ate Mexican food at Trini's in downtown Omaha before the show. It's located under the brick streets, in a kinda grotto-like place. It was good food (though my order was messed up), and the beans were fabulous... on the way in, that is. ;-) (We both suffered later.) After the show, we got banana splits at Sonic before picking up the boys.

We went to church this morning, and immediately afterwards, I met starrchld Annie, Patrick and Kage at the theater for my third viewing of Goblet of Fire. I took a fluffy blanket this time, as I was freezing during the second watching, and I was so glad to have it. Today was their first time watching the movie, and they all really enjoyed it. :-)

After the movie, I killed about an hour at home before the whole family left to attend Jan's 'Christ Clown College' graduation ceremony. It lasted over three hours, and it consisted of tons of clown skits, a diploma presentation and dinner. It was a good time. The opener for the ceremony was having all of us in the audience blow up balloons and bat them all around the room (which was the sanctuary of Messiah Lutheran Church), saying 'Alleluia!' each time we smacked the balloon. The boys had lots of fun watching the skits, and they either sat up in the front by the stage or stood in the large windows on the side of the church to see. Jan did wonderful, and she had a large crowd from the church there to support her. I was very happy for her, and I took pictures. :-)

We got home after 9pm and put the boys in bed immediately. I posted an editorial on MuggleNet, and now I'm going to start working on our holiday newsletter. The Christmas cards are all addressed, the return address labels have all been printed, but I've got to get this newsletter started and finished. I expect the cards to arrive tomorrow (hopefully!), and then I'll be ready to send them all out this week. Yay!

Tomorrow is the Thanksgiving feast for Jack's preschool class, and I've signed up to bring sweet potato casserole again. I'll go to the scrapbooking group for a little bit tomorrow morning, and then I'll have to come home to cook the casserole so that it will be hot for the feast at 11am.

I guess that's it for tonight...
