For the past two summers, Mara , a neighborhood girl, has organized play practice for the kids. She comes up with what play they will perform, prints out copies with each child's part highlighted, and proceeds to direct them through the whole production. They meet twice weekly for about a month to practice their parts, work on set production and costumes. The night of the performance, there are refreshments, programs, and of course, the cutest players ever. This summer, the kids did a trilogy of Mo Willems stories. My kids were in Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. Andrew was the pigeon and Marin was the babysitter. It was extremely cute. They have such a fun time using their creativity. I hope Mara continues to do this every summer.

That is so cute---I remember you telling me about the play last year. What a fun, unique, neighbor tradition.
