Well, Max and Emily are as good of friends as ever, despite the gap in their ages (Emily is 5, Max is 8). They play together really well, and Emily has even snuck a few smooches in on poor Max in the last year.
Anyway, we went down to the matinee, and got some delicious lunch first. We noticed that our kiddos were not only dressed in sort of a matching way (Max in a dark blue polo with blue & white striped shorts and Emily in a little blue & white striped sailor jacket). But they also looked pretty similar in general.
But really the biggest similarity is how weird and goofy the two of them are, and their ridiculous faces.
These two are characters. They fight like brother and sister, but are so kind to each other at other times. I'm glad they both have each other as friends because Emily is the youngest in her family by about nine years, and Max obviously doesn't have any siblings too close in age. But anyway, despite some seat shifting during the first ten minutes of the show (which was rather embarrassing, since Max really wanted only the seat he WASN'T currently in), the show went great. Max was captivated for most of the time, and only asked if it was "almost over" about twice.
You want more faces? Well, get ready:
Oh DEAR.
We had a great time with the kids and they both ended up with Mary Poppins umbrellas with parrot handles. Obviously everybody needs one of those, especially since Max's favorite scene was the one where the whole cast is dancing on the stage as a huge flashing Mary Poppins umbrella descends while opening and rotating. WOW.
I hope you enjoy the silly faces, I do. What goofs. I'm glad to get some time alone with Max, I think he's missed it since little brother came around.

They look like they could be brother and sister. What a fun thing to do. I wouldn't mind seeing that show. It sounds great.
Actually, they made me laugh out loud. Didn't see this till this morning. Emily is just as much as weirdo as Max - mobile, interesting faces. And you are a SUCKA - buying umbrellas. My father would have had a hissy fit if I'd asked for one - outrageous! Impossible! And I probably would have said no because I'm sensible, if tempted to buy every souvenir within reach. Obvious, my parents' depression era caution did not filter through to my insane daughter. But with those faces aimed at you, I imagine your sanity took something of a beating, and yes - I can see that.
This made my morning.
