This last week has to be the busiest week I have ever had as a mom; with three days of dance classes, two days of recital rehearsals, and two days of recital for Ashley plus a couple days of baseball practice, Karate classes and a weekend baseball tournament for Brad. Honestly, how in the world did I get myself into this? Is this what I signed up for when I decided to be a mom?
Not only did we have all of the above this last week but my mom and my 15 year old niece, Marisa, was in town as well. I feel sorry for Marisa, we were not able to do anything exciting with her while she was here; no Disney, Sea World, Universal Studios, etc. We have done nothing but local shopping, a half day at our local city water park and a very wet and nasty day at the Kennedy Space Center. It was hard to schedule activities first because I still work from 8 am to 1 pm Monday through Friday and second because things cost so darn much these days not to mention the gas prices. Even though we live in central Florida, we live a little less than an hour from all the attractions.
Marisa, I am sorry your week with us consisted of dance recitals and baseball. I promise the next time you come down here I will make it up to you. We enjoyed having you here, you are a terrific and polite young lady, your mom and dad should be very proud of you. I know I am!
Speaking of Ashley's recital; Ashley danced beautifully even with a costume malfunction. Ashley's Hip Hop costume was just a tad to small for her and she had problems keeping the pants covering her little tushy. Thank goodness there was no mooning going on during G-Slide. Ashley's ballet recital was done to "God Bless America", cute. The lyrical number that Ashley performed was done to "I Never Knew His Name", and it was beautiful; one of my favorites. Ashley also did a jazz number to Josh Turner's, "Firecracker" but I had a hard time seeing Ashley because she spent most of the routine in the back of the group. And she did her competitive jazz number, "Follow the Leader." Below are some pictures of her during recital rehearsals. We weren't allowed to take pictures during the actual recital so I took pictures during dress rehearsal. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
And not to leave Brad out, here are some pictures of my boy!
This week has been a little more relaxing with no dance, no baseball, no stress. It's been nice not having to taxi the kids every where. Next week, Ashley's starts Summer Dance Intensive but baseball is officially over until the end of August! Now we can officially enjoy our summer.
