So i've been trying to spice up my blog the last couple of days.......i think i'm finally getting this stuff figured out...lol.......life has been overwhelmingly busy lately.....we just finished up two days worth of dress rehearsal for TAPS dance recital last night.....i'm so proud of all my girls....all seven classes worth! they did a great job.......i can't wait to watch all of them on sat!........we've also been making about half our games at the ball field......and after sat's dance recital eg will be able to make the rest of her games.....let's see,,,, and yesterday i had eg's parent/teacher conference.....that went well,,, the only thing close to negative feedback i got was "she's a VERY social girl, u know".....yeah, believe me,, i know...lol......she gets that from her daddy!!!...i found out that she's on a high reading level,, which i figured....and that she only missed two questions on her benchmark test!! GO GIRL!!.....then we hit the book fair, ran home and got dressed for dress rehearsal,, dropped off a cloud dust order and spent 3.5 hrs at the auditorium....and then we met up with david, w and km for chinese food.........i've been able to keep my house picked up for the most part during all this chaos,, all except w's room.....can't even walk in there this morning..ugh..so today it's that and folding a putting away five loads of laundry that are piled up....but hey,, at least it's clean!!! right!!......................it's almost blossom festival time here in magnolia,,, and i've decided to let the girls do the pageant this year.....but it's not like the usual pageant u'd think of.......they have to take the blossom festival shirt for this year and decorate it.........they wear that in the pageant..........and for eg's age they have to answer a question on stage.........so .....we'll see how it goes......it's next monday,,so i'll post pics............along with all this mess, i'm desperately trying to keep up with my sewing orders.......here's a few of the outfits i did in the last week....first, a tank version of the mocca set....the second pic is a different take on the mermaid dress.....and the last pic is a mickey mouse outfit done for a little girl's second birthday party..... ......
