If you follow my To-Do list.. (GET A LIFE) I’m kidding.. thank you for reading my boring lists.. You would know that I have been working on some pressing projects. #1 has a wedding to go to, and for some reason COULD NOT wear any of the clothing she owns.. or buy any new clothing. #4 needed a yellow tie made for his dance recital costume, #3 needed a solo costume made for her dance “A Day with the Cat in the Hat”. Along with that costume.. she thought it would be cute to have her two younger brothers (#4 and #5) dress up as Thing 1 and Thing 2… SO I made those costumes also. I am SO glad I took the the clothing and textile classes all 4 years in high school, or my kids would be out of luck!
I present to you Thing 1 and Thing 2.
Here’s #3 in her skirt. I still need to put the sequins on it.
I think she really likes it when she spins in it. I thought the costume
looked a little pirate-ish to me. Argh! Matey!
Wrestle-Mania is alive and well at my house.
#1 chose some vintage fabric we had downstairs for her skirt.
The fabric was a pain to work with.. but I think it turned out pretty cute.
I forgot to take a photo of #4 in his tie… but I promise I made it too 🙂
Today was the culmination of all the Monday's I sat and waited for my children at dance.. I was suppose to have three children in dance this year, but #5 chickened out. Which is ok. He doesn't have to dance if he doesn't want to. If you would have asked me in September, I would have said #4 would hate dance, and #5 would love it. But it was the opposite
. 
#4 Looking spiffy before the recital.
Before pictures a couple of weeks ago..
Playing Rock Paper Scissors
At the Recital.. it looks like #4 has forgot his tap moves.
Nope! He remembered!
He was looking around the dance line.. to make sure they were moving.
High kicking ballet moves.
#3 was in the second recital. She was in 3 dances; Tap, Ballet & Jazz.
#2 in her "Love Me Do" Tap outfit.
