SUMMER?

So I am a little behind... ok, I admit, I am REALLY behind in updating this blog! Summer is the busy time for us! As most people are off relaxing and enjoying summer vacation, the Miller family goes into OVERDRIVE!! The theatre is open and producing show after show. That means Bob is taking care of a million and one things. Tonight that meant that he was closing one show, cleaning the lobby and doing some of the numbers of how the show actually did compared to his predictions. Then he was welcoming in the choreographer and director for the next show (and actors later in the week), and he had to clean the rental houses that some of the actor's are moving out of so that the new ones can move in! Ahh, the glamorous life of theatre people!

Me? Well, after having Bobby in school this past year, he is home full time, and I have to admit that I really do love it. I was kinda scared cause I got so used to him being gone for most of the day, but he is just so funny to be around! And then we have to add in that the coffee shop is open full time, which wouldn't be so bad, except that the kidscome along with me 98% of the time! That means that I have to have plenty of stuff to do and snacks on hand! Thanks goodness for the lap top and DVD player! The kids have been so good considering that they really are cooped up at the shop about 5 to 6 days a week for about 4 hours each day (sometimes it's 8 hours though). And then we have other things! Last week I taught a theatre camp. Bobby was in the camp with me, and one of the sweetest people I know took care of Amaryllis for me. The camp was half day, so we would come home, eat lunch, Amaryllis would nap, and (3 out of 5 days) go to the coffee shop for 4 hours! FUN!? Not really.... And next week I start rehearsals for the show that I will be in this summer at Bob's theatre! Thank goodness for awesome friends and grandparents who are gonna watch the kids during that time, for the most part! That will be my relaxing time!!! Hee!!

Well, I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer! I have enjoyed the time that I actually get to spend at home with the kids and whatever time allows Bob to be with us (which he works very hard at spending any time that he's not at work with us!) I will try to update on the things that we have been able to do this summer, and the cute pics of the kids! Here is some fun we had today, playing on our front porch in the sand and water table!
