A Star is born — The Pre - School Play or the whole enchilada

The crowd has assembled. The curtains are drawn — or rather —the play area of Isaac, John Paul, and Luke's school yard is about as crowded  as it is going to get. It was a full house, more than a full house, it was SRO. Laura and I were in the later group but given that the seats were of the pre-school size, I prefer to stand, even for protracted periods of time. This was one of those.

It was Isaac's play and the plays for about 16 to 18 other classes at his school. You will have to pretend that Isaac is one of those kids on stage as I do not have a photo of Isaac on stage, I was videoing his moments on stage so this will have to do. BTW, Luke's classroom is on the left, John Paul's behind the stage and Isaac's upstairs to the right.

Find Isaac? Try front and center but not very front. Hint he has blond hair and is looking at the camera. Still can't find him, try to the left of the girl in pink — the one standing with her back turned to the camera.

At least his outfit was not the unfortunate duck hat yellow spring something. Isaac's class play was about butterflies, flowers and rain. Isaac and 8 other  boys fortunately got to play rain. Did rather well too considering it was a supporting role, being rain and all. At least it wasn't a flower or yellow duck.

Lining up preparing to rotate towards stage prep. Isaac got a pep talk from Mom. I got the line up routine down pretty well from watching the show and being somewhat type A personality and wondering how all this was going to happen. Three minutes 40 seconds was a short time on stage — up to five!  Count em —

Actually I had a good time, I enjoy people and culture watching and being with Laura and the grandchildren and seeing what their life is like.  

Got home and the video I took on Laura's iPhone was quickly studied by veterans of school plays, dances, themed shows and such. Loved the intensity of the review. Older sisters are well schooled veterans of these shindigs and know the routine well having participated in a large number of them.   Isaac is studying his pencil box prize for staying the entire time at the event.

And the next morning the little boys (who missed the first video review due to early bedtime) and Isaac enjoyed a another review of the pictures of the event on my iPhone, this time with commentary from Isaac. Patt was supposed to be the beneficiary of the commentary- next time.
