THRILLER

The Connections classes performed Thriller last week for Halloween. I was concerned that Jackson was going to refuse to participate, but I was so wrong. He asked me to come help with makeup and hair, which we all know I’m such an expert. I don’t think I used enough blood on his costume, or his face for that matter. The kids that did their own makeup looked way bloodier. It didn’t matter. They all looked gruesome up on stage!I don’t know what it is about my kids being in school plays and such that gets me all sentimental, but I thought since this was zombies dancing to Thriller, I was safe. Wrong again.It was so cute!!! I was laughing so hard, tears came, and then, it was just sorta tears. What the hell?MawMaw, PawPaw, and Daddy came. They had 4 short performances and after each one, Jackson would ask me to stay for just one more!I saw them all, and enjoyed every last one. I barely cried in the last one!Jackson seemed a little concerned about the zombie eating the dead body. He just couldn’t look away.Definitely, one of my favorite programs to date, and more than likely his last…If that isn’t worthy of a tear or two, then I don’t know what is.
