Kevin, Brenden, Aidan, Mom and I are going to see Jesus Christ Superstar. I am sooo excited! We have excellent seats and my kids are excited too! Sounds weird-I know, but they love this. We watch the movie almost every week. They know all the words. I have had the soundtrack CD in my car for almost a year now, and still love it!

And they also love the Evita soundtrack--strange but true!

Maybe its just as hard for them

On shopping or browsing,
