Today was Brooke’s dress rehearsal for her ballet and tap performance this weekend. We got her all dressed in her first costume before taking her to the Sandler Center. I filmed the first dance but wanted to watch the second. Unfortunately, we learned we weren’t allowed to video the performance so next time I’ll get them all at rehearsal!
It is already feeling like summer though it’s weeks away with 90-100 degree days. These two enjoyed a cool watermelon snack from the farmers market and then we make two kinds of muffins for dinner.
I took my beach babes to Sandbridge today for a perfect beach day. They were amazing carrying their own chairs and a bag each (we took two trips because I had to carry the popup (50lb) and then the cooler (40lb). Once we were all set up we had a great time mostly jumping in the waves but we also went for a walk, built several sand cities, had snacks and lunch, and buried the kiddos. We arrived at 10am and left at 5pm. I treated them to an ice cream cone on the way home because they were so great and we all had such a wonderful day. I cannot wait for many more days like this.
Brooke told me she had to dress up for career day and she was going to stand up in front of the classroom to read her persuasive paragraph that she wrote about her career. When I asked what she wrote her paragraph about she smiled and said “Oh being a Mommy!” So we started planning her ‘costume.’ I lent her one of my purses to act as a diaper bag and she had: her wallet, keys, baby bottle, change of clothes for baby, and a ducky toy. She even insisted that she wear shorts and a t-shirt because that’s what I wear. I made her a visitor pass for the school like the one I wear when I’m at the school. Brooke said Babydoll got to sit with her at her desk and Mrs. Sholes even let her bring her to recess.
Today celebrated Brooke’s birthday with pancakes, opening presents, and a party at Cloud9. She had a great time playing with her friends and AJ had a lot of fun getting some cool videos (even some slow motion ones). She had a great day!
