The Most Magnificent Spectacle of the Show

The show was done all in sign language so this skit has us signing a bit, but I think you will be able to appreciate it without even knowing sign language. Basically we are just asking each other, "What are you doing for the talent show?" Enjoy!

Talent Show!

The day has come and gone!  All the build up for one night.  It turned out better than I could've imagined.  All our hard work paid off and now everyone is talking about it.  They are planning for US to host one next year.  Not sure if that is going to happen.  I think we might want to pass the baton on to another willing soul.

The grand stage

Dessert Bar!  Candy, cake pops, sugar cookies and more!

We made those hot air balloons ourselves, based off of this DIY Tutorial.

We even rented a popcorn machine.

Twinkle lights just make everything better.  The whole room was sparkling.  Sigh. 

These are the only pictures I took, since I was running around, getting pulled in every direction, making sure everyone was in their positions, sound was hooked, and lights, camera, action...

Talented Outfit

Plans for the talent show are really coming along.  We have skits lined up and they are going to be quite hilarious.  I have no doubt about it.  Who doesn't love people coming up with silly skits and acting!  When we were little, my sister and I would put on little shows any time we had company over.  I'm afraid now looking back I'm sure those friends had to suffer through some interesting stuff with us.  We use to sing MK and Ashley songs from their super old videos.  I believe the song was "I am the cute one!"  Oh boy. 

Anyways, there have been a bunch of DIYing going on and practicing.  Now all that's left to figure out is my outfit.  What would you wear to a talent show?  I'm thinking something colorful and kind of quirky.  Polka dots or stripes are always a favorite.  Maybe polka dots on polka dots. 

Something like this...

Downton Abbey

If you haven't seen the last episode of Downton Abbey, you might not want to read ahead.  Even though, it is probably extremely tempting, don't look!

Okay, now that that has been resolved.  Is anyone else feeling depressed that this season of Downton Abbey is over?  It had become a happy Sunday addiction, hadn't it? What are we going to do with ourselves now that we won't have all of the drama of Downton to keep us busy?  I haven't even had time to keep up with some of my other shows, but somehow I could not miss a single episode of Downton Abbey.  I even woke up early to watch it online this morning.

If you haven't already seen this, this Tumblr is amazing.  Downton Abbey scenes described by the lyrics of Beyonce/Destiny's Child.  Who thinks of these things?  And why didn't I think of it sooner?

                    

                    
                   

Wow, just wow!  Be sure to check out the rest of these lovely scenes at Downton Abbeyonce

Sorry for my long absence.  I have no reason for not blogging except that I haven't really had much to say and that's okay.  This little video shows what we have been up to the last couple days.  All shot on our iPhone and edited on iMovie. I think I'm going to be documenting trips like this from now on.  It was so easy!  Enjoy.
