My mom and my sisters are working on their next ballet show they decide to make it about the Pirates of the Caribbean. I think it will be a great show. Even Lucas is getting in on the show he's not going to perform but he's going to help with with the special effects using all the Pirates guns and pistols as well as firing the cannon. My mom jokes. That's where our family get our last name is we related to Anne Bonny the pirate so she thought this was going to be a good show. The girls will really like the elegant costumes and dances and for the boys there's going to be swashbuckling and a pirate battle with the British and the French he he he this is going to be so much fun as a family collaboration.

We're putting together a wonderful show my sisters and I are working on the costumes my mom is getting together the ballet artists as well as putting together a wonderful pork choreography

Back at home everything is getting back to normal except that we're getting a little cramped I love having my boyfriend there but we need more space. My mom has a good idea to build a treehouse in the backyard but she's not sure if the H O A will allow it

So we're going to talk to my grandma and see if we can work something out my sister Eleanor really doesn't like being here and my grandma has the extra space so I think at a family meeting we're going to give Eleanor that option. I really hope she takes it because it's really been a lot of tension in the house but right now I'm just going to continue working on the new costumes.

Back to putting on the production Lucas is putting together a really nice smoke and mirror show for the big battle near the end of the play where they Pirates and the British admiralty fight my mom keeps warning him not to blow off his eyebrows. I didn't tell him don't worry we have wonderful makeup artist that will help him put on new eyebrows. He smiles and makes a laughing gesture and goes right back to his work he comes up with a wonderful way for us to change sets without a lot of work one half of the set will look like a ship the other half will look like a Tavern and you can turn it around for the different scene. He is so smart I beam with pride every time he comes up with a new idea for the show. Of course planning for this show takes up a lot of our time I always forget to do my homework Lucas never does it always seems to have time to do everything sometimes sometimes I get annoyed because he's so smart and will organize it makes me feel dumb because I'm always way behind.

but of course on a positive note he always make sure that I am on task and keeping up with all my school work my grades have done a lot better and of course my Mima comes over to see us all and she comes up with the bright idea for Lucas to move in with her again I'm very upset I enjoy having him live with us. Luckily Eleanor asks if she can move in with Mima. Of course she gets a yes and is awesome to my ears because one all the stress will be gone and we don't have to hear her complaining anymore my mother tells us that Lucas will have my sister's old room and me and Erin will still have to share our room I don't mind but my mom said she thinks it's best if he has his own room.

Of course back to the show the show always must go on and must come first we always think that we have enough time and we plan way ahead but there's always things that come up to make everything go out of whack near the end and of course my mom forgets to tell me things at the last minute I'm running around town trying to get all the costumes together when all of a sudden I realize I have forgot my wallet at home and I am about to run out the door when Lucas walks up to me and hands me my purse with my wallet of course he thinks of everything I love him.

We're putting together the show very well but like I said before it's very stressful and I feel like I'm rambling and rambling but I want to pull my hair out. I'm so surprised and we sell out the show really quickly and everybody in town is excited to see our show most of the audience is going to be elementary and middle school children but that will be plenty of people to see our show

Of course our show is a very good show and Lucas does very well with all his special effects I don't know how much or how well the audience liked the performance but they sure like his special effects we got some good reviews on the performance and the choreography but we got a lot of good reviews from the special effects my mom was very proud and said it doesn't matter why they like to show just that they liked it and it did well because now when we go on the road it will have a lot of Buzz of course Lucas in myself cannot go with my mother and sisters on the road because we have school but Lucas being who he is makes a book with instructions for any of the people at the theater houses on the road to put on the ballet performance he make sure to put in all the safety measures. He writes he writes to me in a joke if you're not safe then the audience won't come back not because they don't like the show that because you're injured them or they'll be dead. I know he's trying to be funny but he's also being serious as well.

Because the H OA won't let my mother builds a treehouse I'm going to find some how some way for us to build a Love Shack or Fort somewhere maybe even in the backyard hey were short enough I might even ask my mom if we can build a little play for it like you do when you're 6 years old I just want some place for privacy. I wonder how that will go over at the dinner table and I guess we'll have to find out and see wish me luck
