SICK KID

i got called today by the school nurse. aubrey had a temp over 100 degrees which means she had to leave school. i left work about 12:30 to go get her. when i got to the school office she was ready to leave. her teacher just happened to come into the office while i was there. i asked her if there was any work she needed to take home but she said that the kids were dropping like flies and she wouldn't really do too much "real" school work the rest of the afternoon.

so....home we went. aubrey spent the afternoon napping and i spent the afternoon sewing.

lets hope that her temp is low enough tomorrow to return to school!

STEALING CINDERELLA

the day of miss becky's wedding (aubs dance teacher)

miss becky had asked all her students in aubrey's class to dance down the aisle at her wedding. anyone who wanted to come could. she told them that they could wear ANYTHING they wanted....whether it was just a dance class outfit or a past recital costume.....

being that aubrey one and only recital outfit is turquoise blue and florecent pink, and that all of her dance class outfits are mostly garage sale finds or just plan too small, i came up with an idea. i would make skirts for all the little dancers. most of the other mom's loved the idea....one really couldn't spend the extra money....so we put our heads together and came up with a plan. most of the girls already had the pink leotard, skirt and tights combination so i desided to make a little flower/bow thingy to make them all look the same. we knew that miss becky's colors were brown and other fallish tones so i found some creamish gerber daisies brown ribbon at hobby lobby and and we were set to go. only thing was, miss becky wasn't to know of our plans until the day of the wedding......that ment the girls didn't know either! come on.....who would really tell a six year old a secret and expect her to keep it!

so........

the day of the wedding we had much to do to get ourselves looking beautiful! curls where what aubrey wanted to add that special little touch!

life with bone straight hair means........if you ever want curls you either need a perm.........or you need velcro rollers, a very hot curling iron, and alot of patience (about three hours worth)!

the ballet shoes....

the flowers.....

a few dancing buddies......

and the complete ballet class.....

all dressed alike as a surprise for their dance teachers wedding.......

makes for one very touched ballet dancing teacher at her wedding.....
