His First

Last night Lance had his first ever Kindergarten Concert. He had been talking about it for 2 weeks now stop and was beyond excited for the night. With Michael being done this past month Lance's only concern this time around was if Dad was going to be home in time for the concert. Lucky for ALL of us he made it home with a few days to spare. Before the concert he went over all the titles of his songs and informing us which one was his favorite..."Hat and Mittens". He also made a HUGE deal on what he was wearing to the concert....he had to be "cool". So we finally arrive and Lance hops right into his spot on the stage. Celeste was so excited that she even took HER small video camera to record every minute for him...it didn't matter that Dad had the camcorder and I had the camera...that wasn't good enough for her or her little brother.It was a great night and we were ALL so proud of him.

The Big Night!

Celeste reminds us on a weekly bases why she goes to dance....for the RECITAL!! That girl is nothing like her father nor myself when it comes to the stage. She hunts for any reason to soar in the spot light. Her winter recital was originally for December 19th but due to all the snow it was unfortunately postponed until January. She was so bummed to have to wait but we tried to think of the positive and that this delay would give her a couple of extra practices so she and her group would be better prepared. Thankfully that worked! As she said, "Oh yea Mom, we're gonna be awesome!"

For every recital I have been the backstage Mom with Celeste's group and every time I ask myself why? Why in the world would any sane person force themselves to go back stage with costumes, hairspray, makeup, and wigs flying every which way? Well maybe that question just answered itself!?! Hey, here's a plus to it all....I save $7 on the purchase of a ticket (or lack there of) in the audience and I truly get use out of the extremely over priced DVD of the recital! No really...who could say no to those curls and big blue eyes that girl bats at you!!!
