Makenna was so happy to receive the title of Queen in the National Dance Spectacular Preschool Division. To top it off, this time the trophy is purple. She was so excited that it would match her room. That's mommy's girl. We are so proud of Makenna's hard work. She absolutely loves dance. This was definitely a wonderful Makenna day, with a solo, two team dances and a new trophy.
The kids live and breathe Pokemon. This "obsession" started about 2 years ago. They have dozens of stuffed Pokemon, a plethora of plastic figurines, and hundreds of cards. When their facinations with these odd creatures began I didn't get it. Now when there are new toys on the store's shelves, I get excited. When they purchase a pack of cards, I hear myself asking (and actually curious to know) which cards they got. Being a mom has changed my world view of so many things! Who knew it would include Pokemon?
After school, we take Devon to karate, head over to the soccer field for Jayden, and continue on to the dance studio for Makenna. So I say, it may be a crazy life, but it's our life. Well I may have borrowed that from Jon and Kate Plus 8, but it's true. Our family has so much fun with their activities we wouldn't change a thing.
Out comes the camera. Let the posing begin!
Take a picture of this Mommy. My turn! Now take one of me!
We were so busy filming the solo that we didn't get any still shots. Low and behold, there was a lady who sat and took pictures of every performance. These are the two shots she took of Makenna. Thank you to the lady who remains nameless:-)
Jayden's class practiced their Spanish while visiting Espanolandia (a simulated visit to Spain). They had different stations to visit where they went through Customs, exchanged American money for Spanish money, bought a shirt, had their picture taken, ate at an authentic Spanish restaurant, etc. Matt stayed home with Devon and Makenna (he was not feeling well), so Grammie stepped in. She went from place to place with him. I was in the kitchen dishing up the food for their yummy restaurant. This is part of what a mom does when her son has severe food allergies. You go and get the required Food Handler's permit, shop for the food, prepare food until after eleven o'clock the night before, then show up for the big event and make sure everything stays "safe" through serving time. Sounds like a lot until you're a mom and it's your baby. Then it's so worth it. I love my sweet guy who happens to be growing up way too quickly.
