nutcracker 2011

I'm just getting home from a very long day.

(getting up before the sun to make lunches & breakfast, leaving extra early for 7 hours at work I don't usually work 7 hours but someone is on vacation, Trent's Dr. appt. at the U-- blah blah blah, ya I know everyone is busy)

It ended on a high note-- I was lucky enough to go the parent meeting tonight for all dancers who made the nutcracker this year!!! WOO HOO! YES Chloe is in the Nutcracker again- we are so thrilled. This year she will be one of the girls on point dancing in the Waltz. It's a great part... (certainly not as great as Arabian Soloist last year!!!) and she gets to be on point! Very exciting. We don't have any photos from try outs- this year they changed the system. Dancers tried out with their classes & didn't find out if they made it until later that night, when they could check it out on the dance school's website. It's a much better system- less drama & more fair to the girls. But no photos from us- it wasn't our carpool day.

I was getting ready to take a photo & saw myself like this in my IPhone. Oh My HEaveNS!!! I think I laughed out loud-- and then cried-- JKidding. HOley MOley I look like a crazy mess! I couldn't read the fine print so I had to pull out my readers- then later couldn't find my sunglasses because they were on my head, yes my readers were still on my face. REaders & sunglasses on my head + this foxy look= please don't kick my daughter out of the production. I do have to admit- the hair hiding the huge zit on my forehead is a bonus...

Fortunately I was privileged to sit by these two cuties- Blair & her mom. Blair is one of Chloe's dearest friends & got the AWEsome part of Clown this year- one of my favorite parts. Unfortunately (for us) they are moving soon out of state! WHAT?! Serious bummer.

It was a big, busy, day.

How was your day?
