Mysteries of Monster Grove
Here are some pictures from the show I just designed the lights for. It's called the Mysteries of Monster Grove and it is a fun kid's show. As you can see the costumes are really fun. It's based on some children's books written by a local Utah author. If you have kids and are looking to go to a fun show, check it out. Nelke Theatre at BYU 7 p.m. running for the next 2 weeks.

My funny kids
I still have some pictures of Collin's birthday to post. My parents gave him the cutest Buzz Lightyear dressup thing that he carries around in the Buzz Lightyear suitcase my sister gave him. There's a funny story about all that that I will share when I get the pictures.
In the meantime, some other funny things going on. Collin has moved into a toddler bed which hasn't been to hard of an adjustment. He goes to bed really well. Doesn't do the whole in and out of bed a million times before he falls asleep. However, he does like to get up several times during the night now. Well, as some know, I am not a very good sleeper, especially when I am startled awake by a child thumping his way up the stairs and then screaming our names. Mark was convinced that it would pass after a few days. So Mark got to find out if it would pass, while sleeping on the couch. After about a week of that, even Mark was tired of it. We tried putting a child gate over his door so that we could hear him but he couldn't come wandering up. That worked for one night until Collin figured he could push things over to the gate and climb over. The best was when we found his dirty clothes hamper emptied and pushed over. He's resourceful if anything else at 3 in the morning. So we finally put a child door knob thing on the back of his door and shut his door. It's seems to be working for now. He doesn't yell or get out of bed. He doesn't like those door knob things though. We have one on our food pantry so he doesn't rummage and snack on chips all day. Below is him trying to open up the door with his large, plastic tools. He tried several of them including a saw and screwdriver. As a last ditch effort, he tried the wrench. It didn't work, much to his annoyance.
Clara has written some rules for her room and proudly displayed them on the door. This was prompted by Collin tromping on a very elaborate dollhouse she had created for her playmobile figures. She really has no patience for Collin and his antics. He is in kind of a destructive phase right now.
