Drama Queens ! Skits 1 and 2.

Last night Sydney bumped her knee on her brothers bed.    I don't doubt for a minute that it didn't hurt.
After tucking the boys into bed I walked into Syd's room to read and found her wrapping her knee with an ace bandage.
She is also the one that will fall and once up will limp as if her foot/leg/hip (pick an appendage) is broken.
God love her.

We went to the Tree House Museum.  It's this great local museum that is geared completely around imagination.   I love this place.   Any ways....they have a theater room and on certain days they do an impromptu play where they select characters out of the audience and while telling the story allow the cast to act it out. 
Friday was our first time experiencing the Castle Theater but Syd was excited and we quickly found our seats.     The director/story teller was so stinking funny and made it such a great experience.
The play they performed was, "Blanca Flor" which I believe (he said) translates to White Flower....which could also be skin as white as snow or Snow white.  Spanish version.
He picked characters first and called for volunteers.   Sydney's hand flew up.   I was a little amazed because although loud and normally not shy....once she's asked to stand up in front....she quickly becomes shy.  but she raised her hand for the lead role of the wicked step mother.    Her role was the only one he asked to be auditioned for.   Each girl had to stand up and throw a tantrum.   seeth.  scream.  act like a wicked step mother.
Syd was picked hands down.
After the casting was done he laid out the story.   While he was telling the story.....the rest of the cast was standing and listening.   Not my Syd.  She was expressing her hatred for the princess (when he got to that part) she was sticking her nose in the air and showing her vain overly proud side (each time he spoke of her character)  basically, she killed it.  (for a first timer in an impromtu play I mean :)
She spoke clearly and loud.   She stayed in character for the most part.  SHE. is a drama queen.  and a pretty good actress I must say.
My sister in law was with us and seemed bewildered that we were so surprised by this.  :) 
What ?  Next you'll ask me who she gets it from....right ?   ah fushup.

sorry, camera phone quality photo

As to not leave the boys out...we performed another skit today.  Similar to the 3 stooges, only in this one there were 4 stooges.
Cast : Playing the part of the stooges in alphabetical order.   Cameron, Nathan, Ryan and Spencer.
Scene
I was playing trains on the floor with Cam.   The other 3 boys soon jumped in and wanted to play.   Things went downhill pretty quickly.
It went something like this; Nathan wanted Ryan's train piece.   Ryan wanted Ryan's train piece.   Nathan took Ryan's train piece.  Ryan threw a train directly at Nathan's head. (geo trax train.  I estimate it weighed nearly 10lbs, ok maybe not..but it would still hurt like hell to be hit with one)  with lightening fasts reflexes I deflected it with my hand, kind of like the car crash in the blind side....and it missed his face but hit his arm.  Nathan started crying.   Spencer who was behind Ryan watching it all happen then hit Ryan's back.  Ryan starts screaming at which point he turns around and sees Cameron sitting there....assuming it was he who hit him in the back....hits Cam.   Cameron looks up from his train, who up until now probably didn't know that anyone had hit anyone and he hits Ryan for hitting him.
All the while I'm saying, Ryan, don't thro...Spencer, no! why would you....Ryan, it wasn't even Cam who hit...Cameron, please....would everybody STOP HITTING !
And then I picked Ryan up, put him in my lap and started laughing hysterically.

If they don't thank their mother in their acceptance speeches, I'm kicking some ass.
