Tonight my kids and I had fun going through the list of nominees and picking our favorites. Now that's what I call quality family time. :) My boys put some serious thought into their decisions, struggling over whether a play with a puppet sounds better than a play with the word "Dog" or "Wolf" in the title. That's a tough choice for a 5- and 7-year-old to make! We're all looking forward to tallying up our scores tomorrow night to see how many we picked correctly!

| My boys and I had fun filling out this year's Tony Awards ballot! |
I've listed my picks below, and I have to say I think it's going to be a good night with a few surprises. I think Curious Incident is going to dominate the play category, with Hand to God coming in a close second. As for musicals, I think it's going to be a three-way toss up between Fun Home, Something Rotten!, and An American in Paris all bringing in several awards. We'll see!
