It's a Machine

The Disney machine is alive and churning here in England as well. Took Maddie to see the stage performance of High School Musical. The theater was packed with little girls dressed as East Side High cheerleaders waving their pom poms. I have to say that the play was really great. They changed up some of the songs to make them even bigger productions and even added some new ones. the dancing was extremely athletic and I couldn't believe that the cast was going to turn around and do it again at 7 tonight! So cool that Maddie is getting to see productions like this. The actors all used "American" accents, but at the end when "Troy" was making an announcement about donating to a local children's hospital, he suddenly became British.

Skip is at his first Fulham game in his jersey that I retrieved over my Thursday adventure. He took one of his co-workers with him. Omigosh, I just got a text from him that they won. He will be high as a kite when he gets home. I am never getting to sleep tonight. The man is detail oriented and he will want to share every detail.

I have to say that squiring Maddie around a city of 12 million people is not the most relaxing outing, but we did have a good time. I even braved the Disney store near the theater. That's what a good mother I am. Came home and took two Tylenol immediately. Maddie is loving school, but not liking the bus as much as she thought she would. It's long. If she didn't have such a ridiculously fabulous life, I might feel a little guilty about that, but as it stands now, she can learn to deal.

Tomorrow, we hit Buckingham Palace. It's a 3-day weekend, so we're really playing tourist big-time. Actually, we were going to head out of town until we realized that Skip had this football game. I'm hoping his sports-crazedness doesn't cramp our travel style. And now that it looks like they're going to be a winning team (they were expected to lose this one), no telling how it will affect our lives!
