Recital Part II

The flowers were a huge hit at the recital. I was being stopped left and right by people asking where I got such beautiful recital flowers...so grandma beware...I sent them to you for next year....
Here is a photo of Delaney literally kissing her flowers. She loves them so much and has them displayed on her dresser for all to see!

Delaney's Dance Recital

The recital went great! At first I was a bit worried because Delaney fell asleep in the car on the way there and when she woke up she was in a nasty mood! She didn't want anything to do with the recital and clung to my backstage. Of course, the teacher was in a panic because she said "Delaney you are my leader" what am I going to do if you don't get up there! lmao. Finally, a few girls came over and started talking to Delaney and I told bribed her with dairy queen! Once she heard that, all was well and she started to get excited about dancing......so here she is, performing at her best....her dancing friends did a great job as well and looked like they had so much fun!!!

The bossy dancing queen.....

Delaney's dance recital is tonight but here are the photos of my dear little dancing diva at her rehearsal on Friday. She was trying to dance and follow instructions from her teacher in the front row and when her dancing friends weren't listening, boy oh boy did she get right up in their personal space and tell them what to do! So here she is, my bossy dancing diva. I cannot wait for tonight to see the performance again. She made me laugh so hard that I cried!

Its been a while....

since I posted here but things have been crazier than usual. I have officially finished nursing school and graduate on May 9th which is so exciting it nearly brings me to tears. It has been a long time coming and I am glad that this part of the journey is behind me. The last few days I have spent relaxing and enjoying doing things with the kids- Castle Island, Sunset Lake, Watson Park. It has been so nice to just spend time and do things with them and not have to worry about what paper is due and what test is coming. So a big sigh of relief on that front.

This week consists of picture day for Della on Monday- she has her dancing recital on May 12th. Then my graduation dinner on Tuesday night. Baseball and Softball practices in between. Rehearsal for dance on Friday, birthday parties, graduation and mother's day all in one weekend.

I think I better enjoy my down time today! This will be it for a while I think...
