Valentines Eve Circus

Last Night (February 13, 2008) the children performed a Valentines Eve Circus. They dressed, practiced, got all the tickets (purple construction paper with fancy edges) and concessions ready themselves and then invited Joe and I to the show! Hannah conducted the circus. She first issued us our tickets and then took them, punched them, and put them into another bowl. Next, she showed us to our seats and welcomed us to the show and introduced the evenings’ entertainment and performers. It was as follows and I am putting it in her writing, as follows: Rebekah (dressed in black skirted leotard, pink tights and hair back in a black and pink heart elastic) was the animal trainer of Fudgey—the swinging stuffed dog and “tite rope” (couch) walker. Jonathan was dressed in his Sunday best (including matching sweater vest and bow tie and slicked down hair). He told “made up on the spot” jokes. In the middle there were concessions: Raspberry (sugar-free) drink and a paper bowl of conversation heart candies (filched from the cupboard) laid out upon cut out paper hearts.
