Les Fiddler of the Opera

Every year in the fall, I feel the need for warm socks, pumpkin goodies and musicals!

I can't really explain the musicals.

We started out listening to "Fiddler on the Roof"

I knew I had successfully indoctrinated my kids when, while during a family walk around the block, I saw the boys dancing like Tevya and singing, "Tradition! Tradition!"

We then moved on to "Les Miserables."

I was driving with Rachel and Bekah and forced invited them to listen to Les Mis with me, while I explained the plot line.

They were bored, confused enraptured!

I'm super excited for the new Movie to come out next month.

Then with all the Halloween festivities, it seemed like a good time to start "Phantom of the Opera."

The boys quickly became obsessed with track six.

Spencer said, "I love this! It sounds like rap-opera!"

They play it over and over and over and over.

And over.

Yesterday while eating breakfast, we listened to it while I explained the story to all the boys.

(Rachel and Stick were out practicing driving.)

We had a lengthy discussion about whether the Phantom is good or bad.

Various opinions were offered, different theories explained.

Grown up kids are SO fun.
