soccer ballerinas

What a weekend! It started early on Friday when I had to pick up M from school with a 102 fever. I got S too and took M straight to the doctor. I am not usually that frantic mother who takes her kid to the doctor for every little thing, but M has a history of strep AND this is the weekend of her dance recital. So if she had something treatable with antibiotics, I wanted to get a full 24 hours of medicine in her so she would feel better and not miss her recital. Turns out it wasn't strep, but it was an ear infection, so we got the antibiotics. She got 2 doses in before bed and felt normal when she woke up on Saturday. Thank goodness!

We missed dress rehearsal Friday night because we were at the doctor and pharmacy and then I thought it best she rest so she could do the recital. Saturday morning was her last soccer game of the season. They played awesome, working together, more shots on goal, more time spent down at our end of the field. We still lost but they have really improved this season. Yay red team!

The grandparents were in town to see the soccer game and recital and they also treated us to the movie Up! It was so cute. I highly recommend it. Next was dinner out and then on to the recital. The girls looked so cute in their costumes and were very excited about performing. I take them to practice every week but I don't get to see what they do, they practice behind the curtain on the stage. So the recital is the only way I get to see how they are doing, what they are learning. I never took dance as a kid and I am not the least bit graceful or coordinated so I am always amazed at what they can do. My girls never seem nervous and they smile up there on stage too. I am so proud of them. Remembering all those steps, keeping to the music, smiling, not being overwhelmed with the amount of people staring at them up on that stage.

It was a busy weekend and my girls did an awesome job. I love my soccer ballerinas!

Oh, and the biggest news from the weekend....S has a wiggly tooth! Her first wiggly tooth, she is so excited!!!!
