Slow News Day…

A few weeks ago I was waiting for my kids to be done at dance.. chatting with a friend of mine and her husband. When I saw something I had never seen before.

Do you see anything weird in this photo? I know it looks like a dude reading the paper. Perhaps you think it's odd he has on a sweatshirt and shorts.. This is what I thought was weird..

The Nike Swoosh tattoo with the matching Nike Swoosh socks. To me this is funny.. and made me laugh.. I asked him why he had the swoosh on his leg and he just kept reading the paper. His wife laughed and said she didn't know why he had it either…

Christmas Dance Pageant

Monday evening #3 and #4 were in a Christmas Dance Pageant.

Here's #5.. he wasn't in the dance, but thought he should wear

his "Link" (Legend of Zelda) Costume and his "Woody" hat.

Here's the FULL effect of the costume. I know what you are saying..

"How could she let her kid out of the house in that outfit?" All I can

say is.. "It was a weak moment."

#4 auditioned for his part as a cow. He's a pretty cute cow huh?

Here's #3 as an angel. She is signing to "O' Little Town of Bethlehem".

I love this photo of #4.. He's such a cute angel!

Hark the Herald Angels Sing!

#3 was an Angel too..

Here she is as a wise man. Bringing her gift to baby Jesus.

#4 was a dancing shepherd.

A whole mess of shepherds!

#3 did an AWESOME tap dance to Little Drummer Boy…

my photos aren't very good.. of her dance. ๐Ÿ™

Recitals Go Almost as Fast as They Come…

If you’ve been reading my blog for very long you might remember me talking about this dance recital.ย  If not you can check out those posts: HERE… orย  HERE or HERE.

Recital Day Finally came.. and it was FANTABULOUS!ย  Here’s a look at

what happenedย  through the eyes of my friend Cody’s camera.

The first recital was the Pre-School through 4th grade dancing.

That includes #4 here.

He danced a ballet to “A Dream is a Wish.”

He tapped his little heart out to “Pocket Full of Sunshine.”

Look at that form! ๐Ÿ™‚ย  He loves to be on stage.. and loves to dance.

He’s completely oblivious to the fact he’s surrounded by girls.

(Check out the cute puppy dog on the right ๐Ÿ™‚ )

He has plenty of time to figure out what girls are… He looks good huh?

The second recital started with #3 performing with the dance team.

So dramatic.. ๐Ÿ˜‰

She danced her ballet to “Starry Starry Night.”

Her Jazz dance was to “Sweet Dreams (are made of this).”

This was my favorite costume.. and maybe my favorite

dance.. except for her solo ๐Ÿ™‚

She scooted a boot (or tapped) to “Ain’t Going Down

’til the sun comes up.”ย  She looked adorable in this costume..

but didn’t like it very much.

Oh No… The Cat is here! This was #3’s solo dance.

She danced to the song “A Day with the Cat in the Hat”, and at the

end her brothers, “Thing 1 and Thing 2” came out and stole the show

did what they do best.

Dancing with her bear.

Twirl.. Twirl.. Twirl

Then out came her brothers!ย  Here’s Thing 2 aka #5.. riding in

on his tricycle.

Here’s they are doing their “Thing” ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think Thing 1 enjoyed this a little too much!

Until next year…
