Glenda the good witch and the scarecrow...constantly!!!
We love to read chapter books to the kids at night. We have an obsession with finding books that also have movies. We read the book and then we watch the movie. A few books ago we read the Wizard of Oz. The kids LOVED the book and the movie, so when Matt noticed that his high school's drama department was doing the Wizard of Oz, we decided to take the kids (and Matt's grandma) and make a day of it! We had a wonderful lunch at Big Boy (my personal favorite!!) and then went to see the show. The kids got green glasses (thank you Meemo!!) and we had popcorn at intermission. They sat totally still for the almost 3 hour production. It was a very good play, but still, the kids are only 3 and 4....their behavior was amazing!! Since then, we see at least 3 "shows" of the Wizard of Oz during any given week....it's adorable and very creative ~ I love it!! This was exactly what we wanted to happen with our book/movie obsession!!!
