Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Excited is not an exciting enough word to describe Kate when we got ready to go see a local high school play, Snow White.  She was thrilled!!  Throughout the play she was disturbed by the mean Queen and the mirror on the wall who was "caaary" ... that is scary in Kate-language.  Kate did notice that Snow White had on a pink dress instead of the red, yellow and blue Disney version ... I don't think she understood us when we explained this was the Grimm's Brothers fairy tale version ... oh well, English Lit comes later in life.  She loved the play, though.  And she sat and watched it totally captivated.  SO fun!!  Kate has sat through endless sporting events for each big brother - soccer, tball, baseball, flag football, etc. and we thought it only fitting that her big brothers attended the play with her.  And lucky for them, Daddy bought "golden tickets" that gave us special entrance into a Snow White tea party after the performance!  Here is Kate with Snow White ...
at the tea party the drinks (green potion) had a small piece of dry ice in them ... everytime you took a drink steam came out ...  (even the boys had to admit that was cool)
One of the dwarves that served their food
We are now REALLY into the whole "princess" thing.  Every day Kate reminds us that she "is a Princess, the boys are Princes, Mommy is the Queen, and Daddy is the King!"  She dresses up in her dresses, shoes, plastic earrings, bracelets, crowns, etc. several times a day.  BUT the best news to come out of this cute play is ... drum roll ... she hates the idea of getting her princess panties wet!!!  Yes, she potty-trained herself.  Unless, of course, you make the mistake of putting on the Dora panties because that is old news and doesn't seem to matter as much!  Note taken ... Dora is out and the Princesses (Ariel, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty) are IN!!
