What Time Is It?!?! Ummm . . . time for me to update!!

Well, I have been desperately trying to add "What Time Is It?" from HSM2 to my music playlist, to no avail . . . so sorry to those of you who have not heard the song eleventy gazillion times since the movie premiere last Friday, because I know you would have enjoyed hearing it here. I'll keep trying . . .
For now, I guess I should update since I seem to have fallen off of our round earth the past week . . . I've been sucked in to the abyss that is the beginning of the school year . . . no, just kidding, I've just been lazy!

I am going to work backwards and work my way to my Utah update, which means tonight I will share our family get together and of course, HSM2 premiere night.

So, Mr Egypt's uncle and cousins were visiting from Washington D.C. , as well as his cousins from Canada. I have no idea who planned for them to come on HSM2 Premiere night . . . what were they thinking? Well, it all worked out, we had an early dinner and then by the time we snapped a few pictures, everyone was ready to go . . . just in time for C.C. and I to leave for our party.

Here are a few pictures of the Egyptian men pretending to be Italian . . .


Here is the parting family shot, minus the white girl, because I'm behind the camera . . . And, guess who we had at our house? It's really not that impressive to us anymore, but we had this celebrity in our house, she's Mr. Egypt's cousin.


Here is the close-up (just in case you don't believe me!)



Okay, so now that we have the family business out of the way, do you know WHAT TIME IT IS?!?
C.C. and I, along with some friends, attended Opening Night of our favorite theatre company's showing of HSM, followed by a premiere party and a showing of HSM2 on the big theatre screen. I have to be honest, I'm not sure who was more excited, C.C. or myself. I think I was excited for the play because I think this theatre company has some of the most talented kids I have ever seen . . . .I know, I know, I know, I've said that a million times, but I really think it's true. (P.S. Charming Child starts rehearsal for Aladdin on September 18th)

The play was fabulous, as expected! Here are some pictures of C.C clearly NOT enjoying herself . . .




. . . practicing her "jazz hands" . . .

C.C. and "Taylor" . . . C.C. and "Sharpay" . . . C.C. and "Mrs. Darbus" (AKA owner extraordinaire of theatre company) . . .C.C. and "Troy and Gabriella" . . . And then, after some junk food, which by the way, believe it or not, C.C. did not even ask to have any cake or cookies, though she made up for it the next day when she ate a piece of chocolate fudge cheesecake as her one sugar item of the week . . . anyway, as I was saying . . . and then, after some junk food, it was time for this . . . How many of you had children brought to immediate hysterics with the sight of this scene, just as the music erupted?

Imagine the hysterics of your child, multiplied by about two hundred other little teeny boppers (and parents) and that is what happened in the theatre as this scene showed up on the screen. I, of course cried, because that's what I do, I have no idea why, but that's just what I do.

All in all, it was a great day and night, and early morning since we got home at 1:00 a.m! Anyone ready for HSM3?? Maybe it will take place during winter vacation at Sharpay's ski resort . . . hmmmm, I should email Disney, I could be on to something . . . but I swear, that girl needs to give up on Troy . . . are you with me on this one? For crying out loud, which is almost what I did when Gabriella got in her van and drove away and Troy turned around and walked the other direction, anyway . . . for crying out loud, Troy belongs with Gabriella little Miss Sharpay, move on already, not that I don't love you too, but move on.

Yes, it certainly is hard to tell who had more fun you or C.C. :-)

By the way, who is the celebrity?

The link didn't work for the celebrity? She's not actually a celebrity . . former US Ambassador to UAE.

P.S. Ryley is on vacation so we'll have to wait until next week to hear about the Premiere PArty she went to.
