christmas time is here
and the world feels upside down for the most part
but this is indeed part of growing up

we still have not started our nutcracker
i feel insane about it
i wish we could just get it over with
i have loved seeing everyone's nutcracker pictures on facebook
time to have my own
we will be in the theatre next week.

speaking of insane
gabe, our ballet master gave us the definition of insanity yesterday
(doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results)
and suggested we were all insane because we weren't trying to fix the issues we've been having in flowers but always seem surprised when we get the same corrections.

i didn't mean to but i started laughing hysterically because he was so serious about the whole thing...
which just added to the sense that perhaps i was indeed insane.

for the most part nutcracker is coming along
snow is looking great
and for me chinese continues to improve
so i think we're about ready.
