We have been crazy busy these last few days to say the least! We are right in the middle of a whirlwind of activities we have been looking forward to for some time. Calli had her dress rehearsal for her dance recital on Friday night. It was just the two of us that went and luckily their performance was #12 and we got to leave after that so we weren't there for too long. The rehearsal was really cute and I got to take photos and video that night.
The next afternoon was her soccer game at noon. It was her first one of this season and the first time she has played in the U-6 age group. She is the smallest one out there, but I think the challenge is good for her. In the U-4 league she was dominant, but here it is more competitive. This is the last season she will play for the YMCA league because in the fall we will sign her up for the city soccer league. She had fun at her game but it was HOTTER than anything and I think that took a bit out of her. It has been miserable the last month and the temperatures and heat indices have been in the mid 100s. With the high humidity it's hard to be outside because I feel like I can't breathe! But my mom and I braved the heat to watch Calli play soccer. And she was the one actually running around out there so I am sure she was even hotter than us.
After her game it was back home for bath time and getting ready for her recital that night! I curled her hair and got it to stay in with a LOT of hairspray. The whole family went out to dinner at Wendy's and then went to the recital hall to get seats for the show. I took Calli back stage to get her dressed and find the rest of her classmates she would be hanging out with back there before her number. They had a huge room with a big TV where the girls hung out the whole time so I know Calli enjoyed that. She danced so well in her performance and we are all so proud of her! Afterward we gave her some flowers, which she loved. Then we headed to Coldstone to get some ice cream to celebrate. By the time we got home it was 9pm and the girls were past ready for bed!
This morning is just filled with making the cake and cupcakes, getting the decorations set up and everything ready! We are expecting five families I believe and possibly a few kids in the cult-de-sac so it will be a full house! We'll be setting up our little blow up pool and slip-n-slide in the backyard so the kids can play. It is supposed to be mid 100s again today so that should provide some relief from the heat for the little ones. The nice thing about our backyard is that it shades over as the day goes on, so by 4pm when the party starts the whole thing will be shaded.
Well here are a few photos from the last two days; enjoy!
