And the Oscar Goes to...

...Lucy, Amy D., and Hilary, for having us over for chili and Oscar-watching fun. Kate and Lucy liked commenting on what everyone was wearing (they both didn't care for Miley Cyrus' aluminum foil-inspired gown, but were split on Penelope Cruz's dress). But they mostly enjoyed screaming and laughing and being silly. These outfits were inspired by Meryl Streep in "Doubt." Lucy and Kate were not as moved by Penelope's acceptance speech as we were. "Wall-E!" Kate was happy to finally recognize a star during the show. Kate and Lucy settled down long enough to eat chocolate cake from Porto's Bakery. Yum.
It was getting late...those musical numbers by the Craigslist Dancers seemed to be getting longer...Miss Lucy was pooped. ...and so was Miss Kate.
We headed home shortly thereafter. Lucy managed to stay up to see "Slumdog Millionaire" win Best Picture. She accepted her Oscar, then promptly passed out.
Kate, hopped-up on chocolate cake and Oscar-party-Lucy-excitement, sang and blabbed away in her bed until ten o'clock. Oy.
The next day at school, she was thrilled to find out that her teacher, Ms. Mary, had also watched the Oscars...with a friend named Lucy!
