Spring Dance Recital 2012

So the same day as my nieces graduation we also had my daughters dance recital.  So when I was getting my daughter ready for preschool I curled her hair how she would need it for the recital and hoped and prayed that it would stay all day.  I also hair sprayed that hair like crazy.  Looking at it I think it did well.  Luckily she does not have hair like me that when I was her age if you curled my hair it would all fall within minutes.  The only thing that really worked was my mom would braid my hair in lots of little braids before bed and take them out in the morning to have the crimped hair look for pictures. Then I took her to Preschool and my husband picked her up when he got off work early and we headed to the graduation.  Then after Graduation we headed to the Dance Recital stopping only at a Subway to get dinner.  Ironically Grandma and Grandpa by some sheer chance pulled up at the same Subway and we got to eat a little with them before we had to run to get our daughter to the recital.  She did awesome.  You can tell she knew some things a little too well and got a little rushed in The Twist and well she loved dancing to Hey Mickey and sings it everyday since.  Enjoy the pics and video.

 Couple Recital pictures taken at the end of the recital

The Twist

Hey Mickey

 The finally although it is hard to see her.  She is in the second row back on the right middle of screen.  Every now and then you see her head bob up into view.

Soccer

So our son seemed to really want to have his own thing like his sister had dance.  There really isn't much for a 3 year old little guy to do though.  However our city did have soccer for 3 year old and we thought we would give it a try.  Not really the sports fanatic here but figured we would give it a try.  Well the first two games one of which his grandparents came to see were spent trying to push him to go play, daddy running with him on the field or daddy chasing him trying to keep him from rolling down the hill at the end of the field on the the other side of one of the goals.  After that game we were successful getting him on the field trying to kick the ball by bribing him with a bite of frosty regularly through the game if he tried to kick the ball.  Basically we decided at this point soccer is not his thing.  We will see if he want to play later but not sure we are going to sign him up till he seems to show more interest.  Poor guy would try so hard and would get so frustrated every time someone took the ball away from him when he was trying to kick it.  Which would result in tears.  Then the last game he kept yelling as he ran onto the field "stop those kids".  It was almost a battle cry.  He wanted to be the one to own that ball and those kids kept taking it from him.  He was so heart broken when those kids would let him keep the ball.  So the 6 week season mercifully came to an end and all of us including my son breathed a sigh of relief.  Here are a couple pictures and videos.

No you can't play on the hill till the game is over.

A couple cute videos.  The first one is a rare moment of him with the ball.  The second one Shows them tackling the ball.  Maybe when he is old enough we should try football......

Fun Videos of the kids Playing

Truly these are more of the mommy/daddy variety of exciting.

Here is our son playing with his sippy friends, Buzz and Woody. Who needs dolls when you have sippy cups with such cool tops!


Here is our little girl singing one of her random made up songs.
