The weather is gross. Gross, gross, gross. It was so windy this afternoon that we couldn't even see across the road. We almost blew over getting on the bus to Nicollet!
But school was not called off. The wind was supposed to die down by 3:00, but it's still blowing pretty hard.
The play at Nicollet was a spinoff of Alice in Wonderland. The theme was something along the lines of "You can't run away from your problems; they just get worse. You need to stand up for what's right. This will help you and others too."
The costumes were pretty sweet. There was quite a bit of singing (man, they sang good harmony!). Definitely your run-of-the-mill theater students. I wasn't a huge fan of the relationships in the play. The mom was portrayed as being super strict and almost evil (for not letting her daughter go to a party and for forcing her to clean her room and watch her brother's basketball game). Alice (the daughter) called her mom an idiot and they got a little physical. In the end, they do make it right where Alice listens to her mom and her mom lets her friends come over to study. Still, there was something unsettling about it all. I think a lot of it went over the younger ones' heads.
We all made it back to school safely. And now I need to decide whether I'm going to go on my weekly grocery/library run or if I'm going to hold off...
