Dad Date & "Joe-Fuss"

We had a rainy weekend this past weekend.

The girls were also informed that Andy would be traveling during their end of the school year learning celebration. There were many tears about that. To make up for it, Andy took the 3 girls to the movie UP. The reviews were as follows: Andy: "LOVED the message--we'll buy it when it comes out on DVD." Ellie: (crying) "It was scary mom!" Jayna: "I LOVED it mom, it wasn't scary at all!" Ava: "It was a little scary but I DID like it mom!"
They all must have liked it to some extent as I am hearing them converse with lines of the movie. (Those of you who are related to the Glynn girls can identify with the girls knowing the words to every song they hear 1x!) I am feeling very left out, not knowing WHAT the girls are talking about.

We also spent a considerable amount of time watching the 3 Glynn Girls put on their production of "Joe-Fuss" And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Anyone who knows Ava, has heard her precious pronunciation of "Joseph" as "Joe-Fuss". Funny enough, we are all finding ourselves saying Joe-Fuss now. The girls are OBSESSED with this musical. They saw a classmate in the musical a few months ago and the lyrics have been floating around our house ever since. We do realize that someday, we NEED to take them to a big production of this musical.

Anyway--the girls got all fancy (haha--it involved un-fixing their hair, involved straightening Ava's precious curls and putting on dress up shoes!); they covered up all of our furniture, learned how to change the lighting in our playroom, and put up a sign on our fireplace. They took turns singing for Andy and I....and the most amazing singing came from AVA, of all people. Just 2 months ago, at her 4 year check up, our pediatrician asked me "Does she talk? In all of my years seeing her, I've never heard her TALK!" (Ah, yes.....she DOES talk!) However, we have never seen her sing like this before.....

Enjoy sweet Ava singing here and here as well as Ellie and Jayna dancing across the camera! :)
