Cinderella, Goals, and Dance Observations

Dress rehearsal time for Cinderella!!!

My girls and their friend Quinn are excited about Cinderella.

The rehearsals were very organized and short. Everything about this Cinderella experience has been wonderful. I wrote William Starrett, the director of Columbia City Ballet, a message stating how pleased I was with the experience from the staff, short rehearsal times, and little pressure for my girls this was. They loved it and it was stress free for me. I also love that they didn't have to do a curtain call at the end and were able to come out into the audience after their performance at intermission and see the rest of the ballet because they didn't get to see it.

I get to hang out with this munchkin every day to wait for Delaney to get out of school. Love it.

Maya and I spend a lot of time together waiting on Delaney to get out of school. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Loving on Garlic the neighborhood cat before leaving for the big performance. This would be Garlic's last picture because she died the next week. We knew it was coming because she was hanging out a lot and we were feeding her and giving her water and a bed to sleep in. She would come in a lot and just hang out and be sweet. Garlic started looking really old a couple of months ago and lost some pep in her step. Garlic has been around for many years and has been a neighborhood staple for us since we moved to this house almost four years ago. The girls love her and she has been an amazing little kitty with her one blue eye and one green eye. Her owner, Betty Kornegay-Kaneft, had to make that awful decision to put her to sleep because she really began suffering. We will miss you Garlic!!!

My beautiful little dragonflies. I loved that they got to dance the same part. The dragonfly routine was beautiful and the girls really got to dance a little bit. Some of the other kid parts were just a lot of standing around so I was really pleased they got this one. 

It was a sleepy next morning for soccer but the girls rallied.

Maya scored a goal during her game!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!! I never thought this would happen so of course we went to Dunkin Donuts afterwards to get her a donut.

It really wasn't swim weather but my monkeys decided to get in the pool anyway.
