Trying to Catch Up

Tis the season to be crazy! I wanted to post a few pictures from the past couple of days. Yesterday the girls had recital pictures at Oftedahl's. We raced to downtown Rogers right afterschool for Peyton's pictures at 3:40 (over at 4:30) since Mackenzie's pictures were at 5:40 we just ate in between with Kendra, Emily and Ashley. As soon as Mackenzie was finished we hit the soccer fields.

Mackenzie's Hip Hop/Jazz class is doing a dance to a mix with Thriller and the Addam's Family theme song. For the group picture they all did scary faces - I can't wait to see it.

Here is a shot of the girls waiting to go in for their group shot (check out the little sisters in the background).
Peyton in her Hip Hop/Jazz costume. I take her again on Wednesday for her Ballet/Tap class.

After recital pictures Peyton had a soccer game. Mackenzie's friend that is normally out at the fields when we are wasn't there so she had to hang out with us...poor thing.

Peyton goes to the WAC next week for Flat Stanley so they are keeping Flat Stanley journals this week. We were holding Flat Stanly up so he could watch Peyton play - I think she thought it was pretty funny.Sunday we took Peyton to Joplin so she could take a Cecchetti exam for ballet. (If you know about as much as me about ballet, here is a little description: The Cecchetti method is a form of ballet instruction. The method is a strict training system with special concern for anatomy within the confines of classical ballet technique, and seeks to develop the essential characteristics of dance in its students through a rigid training regime. The goal is for the student to learn to dance by studying and internalising the basic principles, in an effort to become self-reliant rather than imitating the movements executed by their teacher.) She passed the Primary II level and was so nervous before the test and so excited afterwards.
