Dance recital part 2

Two years ago Nyla had her first dance recital. She was so excited afterward that she wouldn't take off her costume and insisted on sleeping in it.

Last year she did the same thing.

No matter how itchy the kids claim the costumes are ahead of time, they still want to sleep in them that first night. The excitement of the day hasn't worn off yet.

Dance Recital

Here are some dance recital pictures of the girls.

The kids at Orange Leaf afterward.

Nyla's costume came with a cute little hood and cape. Her ballet dance had a little red riding hood theme.

Arboretum

We went to the arboretum today. Here are some pictures of the girls. They are wearing their Sound of Music inspired dresses. (Yes, I do have curtains to match).

Salty cinnamon water

Yesterday Celia was in the mood for baking:

Celia: I want to make something.
Wyndee: Oh Celia, we still have a bunch of cupcakes left from yesterday.  Let's wait until the weekend at least.
Celia: I want to make something with water.  And cinnamon.  And salt.

So Wyndee got out a bowl, put water in it, gave her some cinnamon, salt, and a spoon for mixing and let her have at it.  The look on Celia's face when she tasted it was priceless, but unfortunately not recorded on camera.

Goofy!
