For My Girls

This picture really sums up our week. Every night this week Emma and Eva have had dance for 4+ hours at a time. They would get home from school, have a snack, do their homework, and then we would head off to dance and not come home until 8:30 or 9:00. They have been practicing for their little recital they had yesterday which is practice for their BIG recital on June 7th. A lot of the time is spent waiting for their different classes to go up on stage. Ben and Ella have been such troopers. They have had to come along because Lee hasn't exactly been available to stay home with them this week with his new calling and all. I almost started bawling in front of all the dance moms Wednesday night because Ben and Ella were running around chasing each other and screaming the whole time. There was no taming those beasts. But who could blame them? They were just so bored! I couldn't really get mad at them. But I am happy to say that we all got through it. Now we have a week to rest before the real craziness of "recital week" begins. Every year at this time I wonder why in the world I put myself through this. But the answer is simple...It's for my girls! They love it and I love seeing them SHINE!
