Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat

The boys participated in an after-school production of Alice In Wonderland last week.  A wacky time was had by all!
Cheshire Cat is ready to go!
And tells Alice like it is...
...a few times!

Let me tell of a time when the world was in rhyme with the sound of our laughter

Harry has always had some connection with opera and lives his life in music, so when an opportunity to go to a real, live opera came up....we jumped on it!  

First, there was the stylish dressing and posing with Mommy...
 ...then the sweet goodbyes with Brother Jack 
(Jack says this picture makes him look like a ragged boy and Harry like a rich man)
 His big send-off pose 
 Let's go, already!
 To get into the spirit of the nite, we went to his favorite Italian restaurant....
 ....you got it, it has a fountain!
 A little more posing, just in case it wasn't obvious that we were excited.  He thought this one made it look like we were really on the streets of Italy ;-)
 A taste of Italy
 It's delish
 ...and messy!

There were no pix during the show, but it was a really great job in a nicely refurbished theater with an art deco styling that Harry dug.  He made it through most of the first half before nodding off, seeming to really like the acting and singing.  He did as if there would be any lady singers after the first scene was nothing but bohemian men.

To say thanx to Daddy for directional assistance and let him and Jack know we loved them, we stopped at a sweet old-fashioned donut store on the way home. 
He's still perfecting his milk 'stache 
The fat lady, as the expression goes, has sung!
