Whew!

Dance recital marathon is over for another year. I just love everything leading up to recital, and then watching my girls and my nieces beaming on stage, but it takes it's toll on me. Thursday night was dress rehearsal at the high school, which was about 5 hours of sitting, helping girls change costumes, and some how I managed to loss my camera :( Friday night Pat and I went to The Melting Pot, for dinner, which is a fondue place, it was fun and so yummy. Then we decided instead of going out to a movie, because that would be a typical date night, since it was our anniversary we wanted to do something else. We went to As You Wish, which is a pottery place and painted coffee mugs for each other. Saturday, S did 3 of her dances, and R her 2. This morning, the girls and I went to church for the 9 O'clock service, because I've been helping nursery/toddler coordinator set up at curriculum for the little ones, I needed to be there to teach the first lesson. We came home ate some lunch, then off we went to watch more dancing. S had her 4th dance, and my nieces danced. P's work let him off to come watch. He was supposed to be off, then they scheduled him 12-8:30. S was very happy her Daddy got to see her jazz dance. He called when he got to work to tell her, her face was beaming, with happiness that he was going to be able to come. Hopefully I'll be able to get the girls to bed now, they are still a little wired from the last few days. S has her last week of leadership camp this week, she really needs to get to bed, or she's so not going to want to wake up tomorrow. This is J's last week at camp too. He'll be home on Saturday.
