Room on the Broom

Today we went to see Room on the Broom at a small local theatre.  My kids love the book (and others by the author/illustrator pair) so when we saw that it was being done in the theatre, we knew we had to go.  

Its a kids show, but it was done by 4 adult actors, and a handful of puppets.  I believe that this theatre group adapted the book into a play on its own, and it was really well done.  They had songs, a broomstick, and of course a dragon, and it was funny and engaging for kids and adults.

And of course Ben's favorite part was the dragon, who threatened to eat everyone in the audience, until he was distracted by the delicious-looking witch.  

Apart from the show, we had a relaxing day around home.  Ben hasn't been feeling well and we weren't even sure he'd make the show, but I'm happy he did.  But he really needed a restful afternoon, and he wanted me to snuggle with him on the sofa which was nice!

Susanna's school play is over now after three shows, all of which I attended.  I still have her song in my head all the time.  I really can't get over how great the show was!

Tomorrow we are getting our Christmas tree and we will continue to decorate the house for Christmas.  Only one more week of school before the break - I'm looking forward to them having time off, but I plan to take advantage of every free minute this week!
