ballet, birthday, and book characters...

We made it through the Spring recital @ Prissy's ballet company- CPAC.  It was super sweet and wonderful.  The girls {and other back stage mommas} spent all of Saturday doing tech support, fixing buns, doing make-up, mending tutus, & all the while encouraging "smiling"!!  But... she did AWESOME & it was worth every minute!!!

Isn't she precious?  YES- she is!!!

I am SO proud of my little prima ballerina.  I am trying to saver these moments of her childhood- holding on to every one of the "momma stay with me" and "momma will you be there to help me change?" and "MOMMA- oh I didn't see you!" moments...

I wish I could say that her little brother was as equally enthralled with the Spring Showcase... But, he was ripped from his bed {hence the hairstyle- Cooner} & dragged to the theater by his Daddy- only to have to sit quietly for 2 hrs....  But in the end- he was very patient & he did clap really hard for his Prissy {I'm sure it helped that I had a little Lego stashed for him}!!

*****

Did I mention that she was wonderful? 

 She was!!! 

 I cried & clapped then cried & clapped some more!!!

Also... we celebrated "summer Birthdays" with her class this week.  It was the 1st time that a teacher had asked if we wanted to?  "Uhm.. YES of course we want do"  was our reply!  So Prissy & Mazy {one of her besties who just happens to be born 1 week before her} celebrated in style with an ice cream social!!!  The kiddos loved it!!!!

And... our school had their last Spirit Day of the year- {Favorite Book Character}.  Prissy went as "Fancy Nancy"- and Ooh La La was she ever fancy!  She even pulled out the Nancy lingo... I {heart} Fancy Nancy- if you haven't checked out the book series... we HIGHLY recommend it!  My s-i-l keeps us stocked with all of Nancy's adventures & we adore {that's fancy for like a lot} them!!!  "Au Revoir"- {that's how Nancy would want us to tell y'all bye!!}
