Entertainment

The Hale Center Theater in Orem which is one of my favorite places in Utah County for sure, is closed for business along with everywhere else, but they are streaming Daddy Long Legs.  It is an AWESOME show.  We watched it in the theater a few years ago and I loved it.  If you are looking for some great entertainment and a good opportunity to support a wonderful theater run by wonderful people, give it a try.

When our kids were brainstorming ideas for the point of view video, costumes were a must.  Of course they were.  Someone mentioned Mark could wear The Fur Coat and everyone oohed and said yesssss.

The Fur Coat once belonged to Adam's Grandma Kate.  It came into our possession years ago when Adam's sister Whitney moved to Atlanta.  In a total aunt move, she gave it to tween Braeden and he was thrilled.

When Braeden was in high school, he wore the coat to school at every opportunity.  Any dress up day costume he had somehow incorporated the coat.  One of his teachers told me once at a parent teacher conference, "I don't want to see that coat again."

It has hung in a docile manner on a hanger but now it seems to be reborn.  Having a new life.  Ever since Mark donned it as the big bad wolf, he has been wearing it.  The other night when we were snuggled on the bed I made him take it off because the texture is what you would imagine a fake fur coat that belonged to your great grandmother would feel like

Monday I came downstairs to find him participating in one of his online classes:

Here's another.  Different day, same pajama pants, same fur coat:

I guess it's fitting.  In my experience home schooled kids wear some pretty...unconventional...outfits.
