Living in a Fairytale

We spent all of last week almost completely consumed by Cinderella! Molly had a wonderful time in her first stage production, and I have to say that I do think she was the cutest little blue bird there ever was : )

Here are the stats from the weekend:

• 7 days (approximately 50 hours!) spent in the auditorium for rehearsals and the show last week
• 6 (2 1/2 hour) shows
• I spent 15 hours watching Cinderella from Thursday-Saturday
• The constant stream of Cinderella songs in my mind has finally ceased (a week later)
• Molly went to bed 2 1/2 hours past her bedtime every night last week
• Amazingly, there was only one meltdown...which only lasted 10 minutes
• 1 fall off the stage! Yikes...thankfully no broken wings and our little bird was able to flutter right back on the stage :)
• 1 set of crazy, blue, feathery false eyelashes
• Many new friends made
• We are pretty sure this is just the first of more shows in our future!
• Lots of smiles and fun memories made...it was especially a fun time for me to spend with Molly. We had a lot of good one-on-one time, and it was fun to hear her excitement. She kept thanking me for letting her do this...so sweet.

Here is our little bird...
