I'm a shy lion

This weekend was Maddy's ballet recital.  Although I have been threatening to not do ballet again after this season (it's expensive, time consuming, and the kid acts disinterested), how can we not do it when they look this cute:


I mean, seriously. How cute is she? Her class were little shy lions.......so adorable. Here's the after shot (she was not a fan of the headpiece):



She actually did really well this year and had most of the steps memorized for her dance.

I think one reason I put her in ballet is because I wanted to take dance as a kid and never got the opportunity.  I grew up in a rural area and dance classes were just not available.  Plus, we was po (too poor for the other O-R).  I keep telling myself it's that old adage about giving your kid everything you never had.  Is that wrong that I am living vicariously through my 4 year old? :)

A day in the life

Yesterday Maddy and I made cookies. She was in charge of putting on the powdered sugar:


Even the dog was covered in powdered sugar. But at least she's helpful in cleaning up the mess on the floor.




This is what the twins did while we made cookies:




That pretty much sums up a day in my life! These kids are crazy!
