We're Off To See The Wizard

Side Note: It started snowing Sunday night - alot. So chances are when you read this Monday morning, we will be outside sledding down a hill in our neighborhood. This is a banner day because the is the FIRST TIME since we've lived here that Kevin has been at home when it snowed. The other three times he was out of town for work. I still can't believe we got snow in March!

A local area theater group was performing The Wizard Of Oz so Fletcher and I went on a "date" to see it Friday night while Kevin and Luke stayed home. This was Fletcher's first theater event and he loved it. He had seen the movie awhile back so he knew the basic storyline. I was a little worried that the witch might scare him. She still scares me! Those monkeys are a little creepy too. He did sit on my lap for the parts with the witch. I'm not sure how it happened, but we ended up with front row seats so we had a perfect view and no one in front of us. All of the actors were area high school students and they did a great job. The Munchkins were elementary age children who also did a great job. The show started at 7:30 and ended at 10:30. I thought for sure that Fletcher would be tired and want to leave at the intermission, but he wanted to stay and see the end. So we did!

The only downside is that Fletcher spent all of Saturday and Sunday walking around chanting "Oh-we-oh. Weee-oh" which is what the witch's Winkies (guards) said. Of course, now that is in our heads too. It got so annoying that Luke started putting his hands over his ears and running away every time Fletcher would say it. Ah, brotherly love.

And just in case you've forgotten about those Winkies, here's what they sound like:
