rock, time, play and bargain


my sister and niece met up with us after the american girl store. we went to rockefeller center and then over to times square as we waited for our play to start. we had fun with all the m&ms at the huge and overpriced (that bag was over $7) m&m store.



then it was off to the matinee performance of "hairspray." we bought discount tickets the day of and were lucky enough to get eight great seats. the girls were on one row and we were behind them. hairspray is packed with lots of show-stopping numbers; it was fun to see a play in which i wasn't familar with the story line. one scene was so uproarious, that even the two actors on the stage started to crack slightly.

after the play, we went to china town. i'm awful at bargaining, but was able to pick up some cheap souvenirs. the next day, i was completely exhausted. it was definitely worth it and i have a total bug to go to the city and see another discounted play!

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
