Hello all!
We are almost finished with props. Just a few signs they need to make. Our girls made the most fantastic mini-kitchen (fridge, sink, & oven) -- actually Parker made the original oven (way to go!!) and the girls added the "details" as all girls will! Thank heaven for little girls!
Our costumes are in the making: the girls are wearing bright rainbow duct taped vests that Jesse is making. The girls will design theirs; Jesse will have one, too--he is in the girls' skit and the boys' skit. Lucky guy!
We have to show TWO methods of transportation between our TRAVELING ROADSHOW. One is a huge taco car made by most of the team; the other one is "slingshot" travel which the kids came up with recently (and it took over the idea of traveling via "spinning top") and I can tell you the 'human slingshot' really works! Ask the boys how they liked practicing with it today!
I lost my camera, so its killing me not to have photos of this whole journey. I appreciate Michelle Hill for taking the ones we've got. We are in need a photographer to pop in to our meetings and help me document this...believe me, I am a big blogger and I'm almost crippled without a camera!
STILL NEED: HAIR AND MAKE-UP LESSONS!!! The kids have to do all their own make up and hair the day of the show and we want to let them have practice time coming up!
Thanks for all you do!

D.I. Journey Camp this Fall
Hey everybody!
I just checked out the coolest camp, JOURNEY CAMP, for D.I. kids all over Texas!!! It is held this Oct 28-30th near Tyler, TX. You have to read about it to see how amazing it is--
Check out the Activities Page: Horseback Leadership, Duct Tape Dance, Cattle Cooperation, Vertical Playground, DI Night Launch, Pendulum Tree Swing, Paintball Planet (save your "planet" or be annihilated by paint!), Goofy Gold, T.R.E.K., and Instant Challenge Craze!
Cost is $300 if you register soon. $350 for later registration (after March 3rd i think)
Teams can go, from this year or next year, if you child does D.I. again; they can go with friends, or anyone. We are seriously thinking of doing this, so let me know if you child is interested!
Super Saturday sessions
Hi team and family members!
We will need to meet each Saturday for a couple of hours until the tournament (most likely). The kids still need to make 7 costumes (all varying) and then we need to practice, practice, practice!
Please bear with us! It will be very rewarding to see your child SUCCEED on stage with a big audience and judges on March 5th. I am a coach that refuses to go to Tournament with an unprepared or partially prepared team. I can tell you I have watched skits where students have forgotten lines, have gotten flustered, and who have given up. That only happens when teams don't practice enough to be able to perform in their sleep! So we are moving forward, with lots to do, and having a blast.
T-shirts are coming soon, I promise! If any parent or siblings wants a team T-shirt, please let me know. I don't have the design yet, but we will next week!
