My Dancing Ballerina

Brinley had her first dance recital yesterday afternoon, long anticipated dance recital. She has been dancing for over a year now from a friend and great instructor in a cute little dance studio that they added on to their house. However, their isn’t enough room for the parents to watch so I drop her off every Tuesday for a half an hour and wonder what and how she is doing. I couldn’t wait to see what she had learned and I was as nervous and excited as I will admit for a 4-year-old recital. She was fantastic my little rule following girl was right on task, and if she hadn’t been I would have been beaming just the same! Our families both came to support, which is always nice and made that day so special for our SWIRLING, TWIRLING, ballerina.

From a book we love to read to Brinley –

Once there was a dancing girl…
A stomping, bombing, prancing girl,
A two-step, three-step, dancing girl,
A “you and me step” dancing girl,
Who loved to skip and jump and twirl,
And though you’ll grow up in a whirl…

You’ll always be my CUDDLE girl!!!!

I'm Showing off

I started a crafting blog ( http://www.fabulousonateacherssalary.blogspot.com ) about a month ago with very little understanding of the BLOGGING world, and let me tell you its is its own little world.

I have been very happy learning and growing from so many people with talent clicking on to amazing blogs can be a rush. What new creation will I see today? It can really get addicting!

About a week after I started the blog I was trying to link one of my posts to Blue Cricket and I ended up actually applying to be FEATURED, whoops. I know that my talent is not what I have seen others and lived with my whole life, I would have never applied to be featured just because I don't feel I have anything really huge to share, but here I am being featured so check it out...

Briny Baby

With Owen Being so active and adventures Brinley gets a little less attention these days and she is quickly becoming the responsible one, always throwing away diapers, getting olds and ends, and picking up. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE this beautiful little girl and find her personality is so fun. She is a natural in font of a camera, EXAMPLE…

The Case of the Missing Cheerios

Case #ABC

The date was April 24th, 2010 when a faint giggling sound was heard in the upstairs master bedroom. At that approximant time the two children of the house were to be having quite time so I, the detective, went to investigate and here is what I found...

A FULL family sized box of Cheerios had been dumped and spread over the entire bedroom. I question those at the scene and fingers were pointed in all directions. I had to crack this case. Who was the instigator, who got the box out, and who decided commit this heinous crime?

After much intense interrogation, I finally got a full confession from one of the culprits, Brinley got the box out from the upstairs food storage closet and Owen committed the crime. Because of her full confession I let her off easier and made her help clean the awful mess (which she promptly fell asleep doing.)

However the ringleader got a more severe punishment he was put behind bar for the next few hours (okay just so you know it was nap time, he did fall asleep he didn’t just have to serve out his sentence awake;)

I was able to salvage the remains of the bedroom (thanks to a good vacuume!!!)
