Busy busy June

Someone said to me the other day that she thinks June is worse than December. I have to agree. June is a crazy busy month. We have all the end of the year school stuff, the dance recital, a dance competition and endless baseball games. And don't forget all the end of the year gifts that have to be bought for the dance teachers, school teachers, coaches, and even the bus driver.

Saturday is the girl's dance recital. This will be Julia's 5th recital (she'll get a trophy this year) and Gianna's 2nd recital. I'm preparing for a crazy day. Julia is in both recitals this year as she's on the acro and dance teams. She has 4 dances in the afternoon and 6 at night. I better put on my running shoes! I'm already starting to sweat just thinking about all the costume changes. And I can't forget Gianna also has one dance at night too...so wait...that's 7 dances at night!! Oh dear.

Remember Julia's very first recital???

Now look at how grown up she has become....

Rock-a-hula...



The kids had Spirit Day at their school. They have lots of outside activities. I only went for Gianna's class as she is the only child of mine that really wants me there anymore!

Here's Gianna with two of her little friends....

I thought they looked so cute walking around together.

Gianna with her good friend, Ella...she's a school and dance friend. (Is her belly ever going to deflate?!?!)

Then Gianna had her end of the year party for kindergarten. I'm so sad I won't have a "little one" anymore. They will all officially be in school full time next year. It will be the first time in TEN years that I won't have a little one home with me anymore. Boy, that first day of school next year will be a sad one for me. But I also know I'll get used to my free time really, really fast! : )

The last time we'll be in this room. All three of my babies had the same teacher....

Today, the 3rd grade classes did an animal presentation. They did such a great job. Nicholas did his on the Black Bear....

Look at his diorama....I thought he did a fantastic job!

Here's Gianna reading what she wants to be when she grows up...an animal doctor. I have no doubt that's what she'll be too. She is one super smart girl who loves animals!

Good-bye Kindergarten...forever... : (
