Dancing queen...

I think I may have used this title before on another post. If I have, please accept my apologies for my lack of imagination when it comes to titles for my blog posts. So, Ryan took a dance/movement class this past year and she danced in a recital back in May. For her to have only been 3 at the time, the recital was great!!! Her dance class had learned a routine and worked really hard at it, as hard as 3 year old giggly girls can. She was so excited to perform her dance. They had a dress rehearsal the day before so I tried to tape her in her routine. She did so good up on that stage with her classmate and especially her cousin Amelia. I didn't get too much of Amelia, I was too busy trying not to tear up watching my baby grow up right in front of my eyes. The next day at the recital wasn't much better, I actually did cry then. But, so did my Ryan. I guess all the applause was too much for her and she was just overwhelmed. But the dance was precious and the children did great. I captured the dress rehearsal and wanted post it to the blog, and yes, I know I'm still behind on my blogging.

I'm just mean...

(May 2012)
I really should have helped my daughter, she could have spilled that gallon of water at any time, it had already been opened after all. AND, she did drop/throw it down several times. I really should have helped her but instead, I laughed and taped her as she struggled, all the while shouting commands to her. I'm not too worried though, it'll teach her character building skills.

Celebrity skin

My girls are so funny...Ryan likes to put on costumes and be tons of different people in every breath and Brittyn likes to be everything from a fashion model to a superhero. They are just too much for me to handle...enjoy some pictures from their simple yet extremely entertaining imaginations!!!

Playtime at the park...

(June 2012)
I don't know what I was thinking taking my girls to the park after work in the middle of a hot, southern summer while I am 30+ weeks pregnant...I guess I'm just crazy, crazy in love with my girls and know I won't have the time or the energy to do that for a while once the new baby comes. So, one hot day in June, I took them to the "blue park" aka Tom Brown Park and let them play for a while. They immediately run for the swings and we spend a good 20 minutes there. Then I attempt to sway them towards slides or bridges or something else for another 20 minutes or so. I don't know why I do that, it's so much more convenient to push them in swings where I can see them, they are close to me and I don't have to chase them. But, we all need the exercise and they need to burn some energy so maybe they will sleep at night. Either way, we get the chance to spend time together and make memories that I hope they will rennet and cherish when they get older. We always end up having lots of fun and don't want to leave but alas, real life calls and we must answer. It's back to planning and prepping for dinner, baths and eventually bedtime. There'll be time for play parks another day.
