Recital Rehearsal

Wordless Wednesday - Silly Kelsey

Showtime @ home

Keegan and Kelsey put on a show of "Short, Silly Stories."

It had a very large cast of stuffed animals :).

They worked a long time practicing and arranging everything and really put on a cute show!

 The cat joined in, too.

 Kelsey, in one of the skits.

We always have a fun time :0).

Field Day, part 2

Field Day, Part 2........

The orange team, running in a circle.  They did this botth facing inwards and outwards.

 Keegan is ready to run the next leg of the relay!

 Ballet dancers have an advantage when it comes to the hopping race.

Pass it over..., and under..., and over..., and under...

In front of this leg, behind that leg

The awesome older sisters, Karly and Caitlyn

High five!

Kelsey was speedy hopping!

I still love this spin-around-then-run-back race!!!!

Crab walk

 Tug-of-war

 And the grand finale - the giant water balloon fight (which concluded right as the thunderstorm started!)
Keegan is toward the left in this picture

Keegan Quote

"You know how sometimes when you close your eyes, light comes in and makes a picture?"
"Yes"
"Well, I just closed my eyes and light came in and made a strawberry shortcake!"

I've got it together. Sometimes.

Thursday morning, I remembered (an accomplishment for me) that the girls had a birthday party. Everyone was showered, dressed, and had dry, fixed hair (another accomplishment!)  We were out the door with 2 wrapped presents, a bag of clothes to give away, AND I remembered to take the dry cleaning.  We left home on schedule and arrived at the house at exactly 10:59 for the 11:00 party, the first car there. 

Wait a minute - the only car there.  No one was home.  A good thing it turns out.  We were a week early. *sigh*  At least the presents are wrapped for this week!

Field Day! Part 1

I LOVE FIELD DAY!

I love it at least as much as the girls do.  This year Caitlyn was too old to participate :'(, but I loved everything else about it!

Kelsey was on the orange team

 Keegan was on yellow.

Team enthusiasm

We had face and body paint...,

hair bows...,

and, of course, clothes.

The gym was full

Team cheers were ready....

And the games began!

The orange team completes their pyramid.  Woo, hoo!  The first few years we participated, Kelsey was the samllest on her team.  She did NOT like being the top of the pyramid.  I think it looks fun :)!

Scooting along the floor, staying together -oops grey team :).

Keegan is in the center of the yellow.



 Love the facial expressions in this one!  The "make-a-train-and-run-across-the-gym" race.

Woo, hoo, the yellow team was successful!!

The enthusiastic sibling supporters :)

Keegan and her partner moving through their team's tunnel.

BUT WAIT, there's more....

it will be in another post ;)
