TO MARKET, TO MARKET: Today, the kids took place in a lunchtime bazaar at their learning center. It was fun seeing all the kids' various creations they brought to sell - everything from grilled cheese sandwiches made to order to a cardboard box arcade to catnip and cookies.
Annabelle decided to go with Perler bead ornaments. They're small, plastic beads you make patterns out of and then melt. She displayed them using an easel we have and some of our over racks. Unorthodox, but it worked great!
Her ornaments were cute, colorful and priced to sell. She was all but sold out by 1 p.m., two hours before the market ended. The photo above is about 10 minutes into the event, so she'd already sold a fair amount at that point.
NIGHT LIFE: We headed out after dinner tonight to a mall. If you know me, you know I am mall averse, shall we say. But we did what we had to do to go to the theater nearest us where George Takei's "Allegiance" was playing.
It was fun getting out after dark. We got to see the Space Needle looking lovely in green, to celebrate the Seattle Sounders' win in the Major League Soccer Cup last weekend.
As we made our way to the main floor of the mall, we saw why. Apparently during the holiday season, they have a nightly indoor snowing session or two.
So that was kind of fun!
We made our way to the theater, and enjoyed a filmed version of the Broadway musical "Allegiance." It was inspired by George Takei's time spent in a Japanese internment camp when he was a child during World War II.
I'll have the kids write a full review for tomorrow. For now, here's one number from the production.
