Team Gray!

Do you remember how exciting that was to hear on the Price is Right? Don’t you remember crossing your fingers, biting your nails until you heard Johnny the announcer shout, “A New Car!!!!”

Well, you should feel like you’re watching the Price is Right now, because that’s what we just got!

Now imagine it in jewel tone red, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I’m slightly bummed that the swimming portion of the Olympics is over. Wait! I just remembered that there’s still the open water events later this week. Yay! But until then, why don’t you head over to I’m swimming to read possibly my last post on the Olympics this year.

We found out what parts the kids got today! I had almost forgotten that Xay was getting up early every day this past week checking his email. “Oh yeah. That,” crossed my mind when I saw an email that read, “Congratulations! Ayanna has been cast in the role of Grace in Honk!” hmm, I thought. Is that a good part? So I looked up the script, and found that it does have lines. And that the character was called ‘her grace.’ I remembered having recently read The Ugly Duckling, which is the basis of Honk, and thought I had an idea of who Yanni was playing. I was thrilled at this development. . . .

Then I looked up the cast lists and found that Xay was cast as the bullfrog in Honk, and as a policeman in The Pirates of Penzance. Then I felt mighty fine.

And later, when Yanni looked up Honk on youtube, and found her character sporting a gold sequined prom gown and a crown, I knew that Yanni was perfectly cast.

Xay’s bullfrog may have a nice deep froggy solo, and he gets to be a policeman with his buddy Levi. This ought to be a fun year.
