Look at me getting back on schedule! Writing two posts in 2 days seems a little ridiculous, but I am glad I split the weeks. Yesterday Brooke and Winry had their dance recitals! They were in back to back hours, which was kind of nice because they got to watch each other dance. Here they are in their costumes together between recitals. They both did great!
Winry went back to the eye doctor this last week. Her glasses are doing great, but she still very much has a dominant eye, so we're going to have to do eye patches for a while each day to help balance things back out. Be excited for those pictures in the coming weeks.
The girls both had dress rehearsals. Here's Brooke with her friends from church (who are also in her class) Eleanor and Emma.
On Thursday Monica and the kids headed off to a park for play group with other families in the ward. They went from their straight to the splash pad outside the library as E&E (their dance studio) had organized a play time there. Winry kept saying she didn't want to go to the splash pad when they were leaving, and kept saying she didn't want any swim suit. Turns out she didn't want to jump into a pool, which is why she didn't want a swim suit. When she saw what the splash pad actually was, she was all on board and had a great time.
Jelly has been taking a nap on my lap every day for about 30 minutes as of late. I think she's really enjoying the work from home arrangements. Also, she caught a bug on Friday afternoon!
Saturday was quite a day. I went for a run in the morning, and left a little late and it was HOT on my way back! It was an omen as it ended up getting up to 90 yesterday, which is the hottest it's been all year. After my run I did various chores like mowing the lawn or cleaning the bathrooms. Eventually we all had to get ready to head to the dance recitals! Brooke's started at 2, and Winry's followed at 3. Brooke was in a combo class this last year which means she also did tap, so she had two dances. Her first dance was her ballet dance.
Brooke's second dance was to a song called Go Go Flamingo, and was her tap dance.
Winry's recital was up next. She just had one dance to a song called "Never Smile at a Crocodile." She did a great job, and even was right in front of us! We didn't have to leave the room between recitals, so after Brooke's we moved up to the front row after everyone emptied out.
We stopped outside the building to get a family picture before heading to Culver's for ice cream on the way home! Everyone had a great time, even Grayson. He loved watching the dances, and I'm pretty sure he caught the eye of a few of the older girls when they were dancing and got some really big smiles! I'm so proud of Brooke and Winry for doing an amazing job! Keep it going girls!
