Dance Mania...Week Two

It is the start of week #2 of dance mania. Last week was two nights of pictures, eight+ costume changes, hair make-up all while children turned into the spawns of satan. Children in my family who NEVER whine were whining and crabby and tired and giving me the "why are you yelling at me" with tears in their eyes. Never mind I did not raise my voice, lose my mind or pull out one piece of hair the entire time. That does not mean that not one other mom or child wasn't doing just that and my children just decided to unjustly blame ME!

Saturday was six hours of rehearsal and the only thing that made the day for me is that my husband who I still owe...something I'm sure came to take the three year old off my hands so he wouldn't lose his ever loving mind in the auditorium and there would be one less mother in the nut ward this weekend! Oh! And I got to see Maryah's BFF when she came to show me her prom dress and fabulous shoes...

Then we were on to dance, dance, dance. Up first was Nicholas who actually did some of his dance rather than standing and staring out into the audience.

And Libby did her Hip Hop routine

And Tori did her tap routine...this is the only tutu shot I got and I'm rather bummed that we have a blurry face.

Can you see the enthusiasm here?! I mean c'mon...we're lovin' life this morning!!!

Then we have Morgan's Hip Hop routine.

And Tori's Hip Hop as well (are we getting excited yet?)

Then we have Mo's tap/jazz number

And lyrical

Finally the last picture I have (trust me there are more) and will share today is

Tori's Jazz

My disclaimer of course: I love my children with all my heart and would change their costumes fifteen times a day and watch their dance routines one hundred but... I will be on my knees in praise and thanks when the dance season has ended. I am EXHAUSTED!
