Supahstar!

Our beloved Munson, Prima Ballerina style:

The whole class of 2-3 year olds surprised us all by behaving very well the whole time backstage and in the dressing room and then FLOORED us by behaving just as well on-stage. No mishaps, no tears, one girl fell but I think it was because she was giggling so hard. It was a hoot! And so darn cute...I must say.

And now, little Munson wants to wear make-up every day (especially lipstick!) and has asked me twice today when she dances again. I just tell her when she starts pre-school. ~sigh~

Come On Why Don't You

Got this email from Julie, thought it was funny, so hear y'all go: http://www.callme.nm.ru/.

Here are some pictures from yesterday to buy me some time until I do a real post.

We went bowling for Evan's birthday party. Yes, Olivia is wearing a pirate hat. And check out how cute her little bowling shoes are! (notice how the cheeky little buggers all refuse to even look at me when I take a picture?)

Is this not the coolest pirate cake EVER? No, I didn't make it myself. It cost about the same as a small wedding cake, but it was pretty cool.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....matey. His actual birthday isn't until July 8, which, coincidentally, is the day after Pirates of the Caribbean II comes out. Guess what he's doing for his real birthday. When he's older he can go down to the beach with a bottle of rum and dance around a bonfire. For now, he'll have to settle for pirate lego and pirate-themed bowling parties.

New Adventure

It's set. July 16, we leave for Beaver Lake Resort for 6 days of camping with all 3 kids and the in-laws. I'm looking forward to it - it looks like a nice place. I've never been to this campsite, I found it on-line, so hopefully it's as nice as it looks. Besides, I'm sooo ready for a week off and a little vacation down-time. Although camping is still a lot of work (you're still having to make beds, make breakfast/lunch/dinner and clean up) it's just fun. And getting the kids to help is a little easer (we use paper plates, so no worry about them breaking stuff!). And I've decided to keep a little journal this time. Actually, it's something I want to start doing for every vacation we take from now on. Now that I'm into the scrapbooking thing, I need to record what's going on to coincide with all the pictures.

We'll see how it goes - a month from now, when I'll be posting in between loads of campfire-scented laundry! Ahhh...the joys.

Don't Stop Believing

I know, I know...I've been a bad girl. It's mainly because nothing interesting has been happening in my life. Really. Here's all that's been going on:

• my ex has decided that he doesn't have enough money now to satisfy his habits, so he's going to move into a house with two of his mook friends. With two kids?? Over my dead frickin' body! The only way I can stop it is if I catch him doing stupid shit (which he does all the time - it's the catching him thing that's hard!). I am currently recruiting spies. If interested, apply via email.
• my daughter has her first dance show coming up. She had her full dress rehearsal last Sunday and danced on the stage for her very first time and did great. Keep your fingers crossed that she's not going to be the kid that has the ultimate meltdown on stage and runs off crying.
• I got 58.5 on my midterm. Out of 60. I think it was the highest mark in the class. I'm not usually a bragger but DAMN I'm good! Final exam coming up in a few weeks - if you don't hear further on it, don't ask...
• my current favourite show: So You Think You Can Dance. I'm so glad it's back. It's making me consider taking dance lessons starting in the Fall. We'll see how far I get.

I now need to get some work done but I promise I'll be back. With a topic, next time.

PS - No one has guessed who my favourite band is. Am I going to have to start giving hints?
