No, I'm not having that kind of day and neither is anyone else in our Party of Five. Alexander is the one! For those of you who do not know the great children's book; Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (by Judith Viorst), you are really missing out! It’s a book that’s been around for a long time. I referred to it when teaching and still do to this day with my kids (and Jon)! It’s a humorous look at a boy who’s having “one of those days”, who would just love to escape from it all! (You do have one of those days, don’t you?) This afternoon, Jon treated us to a very special family date. All of us dressed up and went to Tempe Theatre’s Child’s Play featuring Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day! It was fantastic! It captivated us the entire time! They ended allowing kids to share in front of other's their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days too!
Jon and I love the theater and we really want the kids to love it too. Jon grew up in theater productions while his parents managed a local theatre in Des Plaines, Illinois and I minored in theatre. It’s been awhile since we’ve been in any productions but one day hope to do it again in the future, even as a family. For now…we’re in the audience and that’s a great place to be too!
Anyone want to share one of their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day real stories with our blog world? I'd love to hear it and I'm sure others would too!
