Talent show

I have been horribly busy and stressed by my IRS returns which would make Jesus sell his soul for a good tax adviser! Hence no blog entries. Also, Twinkle, had her school talent show on Saturday. So the added pressure of being a non- PTA but guilt ridden Mom meant, I had to conjured up 40 T-shirts in 2 hours. However I did it, and sold them for a whacking fundraising profit.( I am SO great.) So am now released back onto my own self obsessed vanity site.

Anyway, talent show was phenomenal. Professional mc, lights, smoke machine, wireless headset mics, etc etc etc. None of your Mrs Johnston on piano in the lunch hall here. Its California don't you know.

Highlights of the night:
Twinkle and her mates in their Wizard of Oz dance routine - of course. Followed by:
Shirley Temple tap dance opener ( I positively filled up)
Elvis and his teddy bear (some parents are borderline cruel)
Very beautiful Russian singing wee girl in a peasant skirt (you just know she loves Tatoo though)
5 year old harmonica player (so sweet my teeth hurt - and his dad was kinda tasty too)
3 x pianists (unfortunately all played individually) but one hi-5-d her big brother when she was done, so we let her off for being cute
Mission Impossible gymnastics team - complete with woolly hats and laser lights and back flips. (way too cool for school)
The pirate jokes (what give a pirate a heart attack? blocked ahrrrrrrrteries)Classic
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star played on the recorder via a fourth graders nose. (now that's talent).
6 year old, who when the rapturous applause for her van morrison song died down, piped up 'emm actually I wasn't quite done yet!'

Some misses:
Sisters song by mini blonde brats in big frocks.
Unfortunately large child with lisp, singing Hilary Duff teen angst song.
Shy and awkward child singing Avril Lavine angry song.
Very pretty blonde 11 year old, in very mature red lipstick, doing somewhat inappropriate Gwen Steffanie routine.
(with obligatory mother lipsynching in the wings of course).
Bongo drums. (nuff said).
