Spirit

Yesterday, Katie and Joseph auditioned on base for the Missoula Children's Theater production of Rumplestiltskin. Joseph made the play. Katie did not. Afterwards, she was disappointed, but did not show it in front of Joseph and congratulated him heartily. During a private moment later, she said to me, "I wonder what I'm going to do this week."
Then she set about choosing a play of her own to do at home (with all her brothers, of course). She spent the afternoon hunting for a script on our shelves and online and finally settled on The Wolf of Gubbio, a story of St. Francis of Assisi, because it has a lot of male roles, but not too many for her ready-made cast. She made copies of the script for each actor and arranged a practice schedule for the next two weeks. She wants to make this a last family play before Tommy's departure.
That's my !

She found the play in this book, from Catholic Heritage Curricula:
