Contraband chicken nuggets

We went to see the house Jacob and Carla are buying this morning. It's so huge! I hope it all works out for them, the place would be sooooo good for them! We went to the park this afternoon with all the kids and saw a friend from way back in the day, mostly we just hung out and caught up on things. This evening we all went to the Picketwire Theater and Jason, Bri and I sat in on the second to last dress rehearsal for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! The production is being directed by my pottery teacher from high school. Weird. Here's a picture of Jacob and Carla and their three oldest (of five) Jacob is playing Mr. Bucket (Charlie's father), Carla is an extra, basically (she has the cutest dance with a giant soup pot), and the kids (Nathan, Melody and Destiny) are Oompa Loompas. In the middle is Chad, a great friend of mine (We go way back) who is playing Willie Wonka. He isn't wearing the big red coat in this picture, but his costume is just fantabulous. Click on the image and check out all the detail, it's great. And then, of course, there's Jason, Bri and I, and we played audience members. After the rehearsal we all went to Village Inn for late night crepes and theater chat. Good times, good times. Oh, and I think I've finally convinced everyone of how very cool it would be to come visit us in Kansas City! *Squee!*
