we decided to re-enact all of the plays we have done in drama 2:

house on mango street
(melissa and i were trees, vanessa was esperanza)

cinderella
(melissa and i were mice, vanessa was the color blue. literally.)

christmas carol
(i was scrooge's kind niece, melissa was the ghost of marley, vanessa was a cratchit)

king arthur
(i was a lady of the court, melissa was marilyn monroe, vanessa was a dancing fool)

gotta love drama 2.
