Well ... Tom's got the funk! And of course our little dancer too ... they both performed in this year's Disney themed dance recital. She did 2 jazz numbers, tap, and her first ever toe ballet dance! The favorite of the night was the Father/Daughter dance to the High School Musical medley. So far I only have pics, but trust me ... when I get a video ... it's gonna be posted! Enjoy the pics!
I'm in! I got the official acceptance letter from the Rogers State University Nursing Program today ... just 2 more years to go!
LooLoo's gifted class was assigned a movie production assignment. It was a great teaching tool in organization, cooperation, imagination, and I think they had a great time too! Her group came up with ... "Flora the Explorer". The teacher arranged for the movies to be shown on the big screen at our local theatre. Unfortunately, we missed the event because LooLoo decided to take on the biggest girl on the opposing team at the soccer game that evening. So we were at the urgent care clinic waiting to be told she had a bruise! Anyway, we proudly present the world wide premiere (not really) of Flora the Explorer . . .
I'm taking a 2 week History course from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm every day. After I get home, "catch-up" with the little girls, and do my chores it's time for the big kids to get home from school. That's when the REAL busy-ness starts! Chores ... soccer practice ... TJ referee jobs ... dinner ... youth/church ... and, oh yeah, study? Needless to say I've been extremely busy and preoccupied!
On my way to take the kids to church this evening I looked on my blackberry to glance at my agenda and noticed a new item ... "9:30 pm Evie". It was a tender little stab at my heart. Honestly, she's been writing/typing her name anywhere she can find ... still, I got the message!
It's been really tough to not have daily meltdowns this semester. I think I'm mourning the days I could be one of those Moms that had time to scrapbook, or help out at school. Those days are not over, however, they're only on hold.
Pictures! (I'll have more when I get them from Kiwi's phone) Finally ... it's been over 2 weeks, but still worth sharing!
We had only a few show up to walk because of the looming clouds over head. All 8 of us, Mimi, Annie, Maddy's best friend, and my friend from school with her daughter made 13. Plenty of cute pink & brown shirts!
Thanks again Uncle Sam for the great design ... we sold enough to be able to donate $175 to the American Heart Association. Every little bit helps ... thanks to all of the support we receive each year!
