Greta Face

This is Greta... affectionately called Greta Face instead of Greta Faith because of her thousands- literally - of expressions. This girl is going to do great things someday, and she has quite the story. She's already inspiring!

 

She loved the Oompa Loompas so much- so when we had a pair of Oompa socks with holes in them, Mrs. W cut the feet off and gave them to her. She was a very happy girl and went around singing "Oompa. Oompa."

You're daring to take my picture- again!?!?!

Posting this one again because I love it so much. :)

This is her gorgeous big sister- one of my dearest friends.

 Isn't she adorable? I love her so much and can't wait to see her grow up. I'm praying that she'll be on fire for Jesus Christ.

I think I only have one more post about Wonka... but we'll see. Are you tired of it already? :)

A Peek Behind the Scenes... (Part One)

Here's more of the pictures I promised you on Friday... Welcome to the secretive area of "backstage." :)

A few of the Dads that flew Sam and Tanner every night.

Older sisters like to "come back" and lend a helping hand.

Naomi and her left prop table... she was an amazing props mistress. :)

okay, isn't Christianna gorgeous? and she's so much fun.

A tray of food for Augustus Gloop's "I Eat More" dance

Keeping the Word of God readily available... sitting on the props table.

And the afternoon show starts...

A sign on the stage door... reminding us why we're doing this. (and those who know me well might recognize the handwriting... *cough*)

All the cans of gray hair spray we used...

A golden ticket... we had so many printed up that they were laying everywhere.

"extra strength" :)

Our monitor so that we can check where the show is at.

The order of the show, costume changes and song numbers. This was so nice to have blown up so big!

 

They were checking out the photo shoot pictures...

I think they were checking out the program

Nan watching Greta for Mrs. H.

Lights! Cameras! er, Naomi. :)

Pairs of Oompa sock drying

The harnesses the Dads wore so they didn't drop the guys

Cade's final devotion for the cast... remembering to glorify God. I didn't make it into every devotion during show week, but I was greatly blessed by those I did hear.

Ahh, I thought I could fit everything in one post, but I'm guessing that you're getting tired already. Part Two on Friday. :)

Wonka Pictures

I thought you all might want to see some pictures from this Wonka thing I keep talking about. I decided not to post all 104 edited ones... :) just a few favorites from closing night. I might post more later.

She was so enthralled by him and his wheelchair...

...It was adorable.

We called them our "big hair peeps"... yes, it's all natural. Luke's does that with just the smallest bit of combing and Marissa's... is teased. a lot.

The schedule for closing... it was a full, beautiful day.

The piano was constantly playing... even when everyone was in costume.

This is my favorite Wonka picture... is it not SO cute?!?! Greta Faith and Sam (Charlie)

I have a "behind the scenes" post too... going to be posted Monday. Let's say there's some goofy faces, tired people, the joy of the Lord and a whole lotta prayer. :)
