And Another Thing...

Saragh's Creative Movement Class

***WARNING***  This post is heavy on cuteness.  Do not eat sweet things while reading, it could cause an overdose.

We decided to put Saragh into our dance studio's Creative Movement class because she so loves to dance.  I feel like she is a little young to start all of this, but as I sad, she so loves to dance.  She had her first class last week and as I suspected she so loved it.  And yes, she's the only one in blue,  but does that really surprise you?

And the Dance Begins Again

Dance classes started again this month with a flurry of excitement and a little anxiousness.  We switched dance studios this year because of some social issues at the other dance studio.  I hope that this year brings us lots of joy and very little social stress.

Anna is taking a Pre Jazz/Hip-hop class this year and I am quite certain that she has found her home.  As soon as the teacher put on the music she started dancing and wiggling and giggling.  It was great to see her that excited!

Olivia is in a Ballet/Tap class and is, of course, loving it.  I think she would perish slowly and painfully if she could not dance.  It's in her bones.   The little girl who is all arms and legs right now, turns into a graceful ballerina on the dance floor.  It's amazing to behold.

Homeschool Dance Recital 2009

We need more of this...

More Dan Zanes

This is a contraband video taken at the concert.  If you listen closely at the end, you can hear an usher telling me "No pictures."  I did have to argue a little that it wasn't actually a picture, but a video. Ah well...



Again, the quality is pretty bad, but you'll get the gist of what was going on.

Dan Zane's Wild Party!

The kids all waiting anxiously for the party to commence.

Some contraband pictures of the band.  We weren't supposed to take pictures, but when have I ever listened when someone told me not to do something!

The first thing Dan said when he got on stage was "We were asked to do a concert and that's great, but would you mind if we had a wild party instead?"  What do you think the kids' answer was?  I actually don't know.  I couldn't hear because the frenzied screaming was too loud!

We had a great time and would do this again in a heartbeat!  Okay, off to take a nap now.

 

Mardi Gras!

Benny was Lego Dude

Not a great picture, but now you know what Saragh was!

Anna was a princess whose costume kept diminishing.  She started out with all kinds of fancy decorations and took them off one by one.  Luckily, she kept the dress on.

Olivia was a cranberry farmer and originally had her rain pants on, but she got hot.

Braidon was a rain advocate.  He had a lot of fun making the sign.  The guy in the spiky monster hat is our priest, Fr. Brendan.  Yes, that guy is the spiritual leader of our parish.  Hmmmm. :#)

Chinese New Year

My good friend Linda put together a fabulous Chinese New Year celebration.  We had good food, good friends, good conversation and of course a superb parade that warded off enough evil spirits to achieve world peace! 

Whirling Dervishes

A friend of mine made these tutus for the girls for their birthdays and they put them on to go visiting last Sunday.  Of course we had to move furniture and have a twirling and whirling time before we headed out the door.  They had so much fun wearing these!  Thanks Kerry!

Dance Recital Preview

These are obviously works in progress, but it gives a good idea as to what the girls are doing for the recital in June!
