catching up

So we have been busy getting ready for school, and all the extra activities. We decided that monkey's ballet school really wasn't teaching her a whole lot. It was fine when she was 3, and it was more about seeing if she liked it, and making sure it was fun. Now she is older, and wants to learn the right way. So with much sadness, we left her old ballet school. After her first class today, wow! I was sad and unsure, but her new school is amazing! i think she learned more in her 1 hour than she did in the 4 years. She is in the 8 yr old class, so she is the youngest. She kept up. She was watching and concentrating so hard, and said she had a great time. She loves the new teacher and her classmates. So we were very lucky. Tomorrow midget goes back to his old taw kwan do school. The teacher there is amazing, andn is thrilled he is coming back. He works him hard, and is strict. But he is extremely kind, and has a soft spot for my little man. Will have to take some pics of him. He's even letting him start back with his old belt.






This is what happened to our yard after a freak windstorm and crazy down pour last week. Our fence is leaning a little more, and the tarp cover got blown off the swingset.












So here are some pics of my new toy, the iphone. it is so neat, and so easy to use!!

  1. I definitely agree on your decision to move your little girl to a better ballet school, I did ballet all my life and had to change schools a couple of times. She looks just gorgeous in her leotard and tights, makes me miss my dancing days.
