Remember this post? We survived. We woke up at five AM. We hustled everything into the car and were out the door by 6:30. We picked up another girl and made it to the convention center by 8 and we all ran from there. [Read more...]

Dance Moms and their Stars
14 January 2012 By 1 Comment
So most of you who read this probably already know I have a tiny dancer on my hands. Last year she was invited to try out for, and consequently got into her studio’s Company. Yay for her, tons of work for me, but totally worth how much she loved it. This year she tried out again and made it in. [Read more...]
Eshiva’s first competition!

So those of you who have me on your FB feed have already gotten spammed by this, but so many of you aren’t 
Eshiva and her company group had their first competition on Saturday at Nexstar. They did amazing!
So, here is her *mumbles* freaking dollar company uniform tracksuit:
Super cute? Yes. Over priced? Yes. Will it fit next year, and the year after? It fucking better
Before they went on:
So, K’s mom was freaking out b/c she somehow got a hole in her *new* tights, but thankfully K and her tights are more or less the shame color and the hole was on the inner thigh, so she had the studio owner, the company coach, and the other two group parents telling her to calm herself down it’s not the end of the world. K’s mom was more nervous than K
Isn’t she cute??
and the trophy:
Her group won high gold for their category and age range, and won third over all for category. Not too bad for their first real time out, especially for the number of kids that were there.
Since she is a group, the trophy has to live at Mrs. P’s. She got to bring it home over the weekend (b/c the other two girls in her group had to split before awards were given out) and Michael and I went to a trophy store today and ordered her one that she can keep. I can’t see doing it every time, but this time was special. 15$ well spent, IMO. She’ll have it on Friday 
Wow, a whole month

I kind of took myself off-line for a while there. Did I get more accomplished? Maybe. Did I spend more time with my kids? Definitely.
The internet is a wonderful thing. This week alone we’ve looked up naked mole rats, Harry Potter costuming, replaced a broken toy, and a handful of other things. We also got a new-to-us kids-sized game table from our local FreeCycle which the kids are loving.
There is something to be said for hanging out with your kids though, even if it’s just watching a movie or eating dinner or some other daily drudge type thing.
So, it probably won’t be another month until you hear from me again, but it wouldn’t surprise me either. I’m having gutters installed today. I’m talking to Dad about replacing the drywall in the front room, laying some new carpet and some other misc. household improvement items. I want to put up some real shelves too – get rid of the bookcase shelves. I just told Michael, if I can’t do the entire room at once, I can do a small part, right? Hey, a million pennies is 100,000 dollars, right? You gotta collect those one at a time.
So Much To Do

Summer is here! My husband commented yesterday that we are going to run ourselves ragged keeping the kids entertained this summer. I commented that they will have awesome summer memories when they get older of their parents hanging out with them. I think both statements are right! [Read more...]
