June 2009 Recital!

I can't believe we are almost through with June and I am already making plans for July. Our biggest highlight so far this month has been the much anticipated dance recital. This took up two whole days, one for rehearsals, the second for the two shows the kids put on. Hera and Isi both took part in the first show and as for the late show only Hera needed to be there for one of the dances. Below I am starting the loooong process of getting the girls stage makeup on. Thank goodness they just had simple hairdos. Anyone have any secrets to get a 3 year old to hold still for makeup??
I had to catch the moment before anyone wrecked all my hard work.


Ready to go! I dressed the girls once we got there and still Hera managed to put a run in her tights. Thankfully one of the ladies from the dance studio had extras she could sell me.


Isi actually wanted the lime green so she could be like Tinkerbell.


At the recital we were given the pictures the girls had done the month before. I love them!





I think the color was off for Isi's. Doesn't that look like purple instead of pink?
Everyone else is doing great. Athena finished the school year with honor three quarters and principals list last quarter (straight A's ). She is now taking guitar lessons and celebrates her 13th birthday this Saturday. I officially have a teen in the house, yikes!
Isi has started swimming classes and doesn't particularly like them. She can only handle being dunked so many times before she starts to lose it. I'll feel a lot better when she can swim a little on her own since we have the pool so she is just going to have to suffer for a little while.
Hera finished 5th grade with straight A's for the entire year and will be starting advanced math when school starts up again. She starts Art class today for the summer! She is my crafty one and I look forward to posting her creations here pretty quick.
Ted has his cast off already and can now swim. I am sure he is enjoying a cool week in Denver right now. Wish he would have taken us with him.
As for me, I have caught everyone up on dentists, and eye doctors. I am looking forward to a few slower weekends ahead. Hmmmm, might be time for a neighborhood BBQ.
Stay cool,
Love Charmaine and Family
