Jessica and Lily finish their second year with Nmotion Dance. Jessica was on the Dance Team. Above is their competition dance. They also did two more for recital. Enjoy!

Take me out to the ball game

We finally made it to the Dell Diamond. I won some free tickets from a drawing at school for 4 tickets behind home plate. It was pretty awesome, but besides me and Jhonny, Gavin was the only other one really enjoying themselves. We finally caved and took the kids to the play area where they jumped and played and Jessica rock climbed. It's a little strange that this baseball park has a park on the diamond. There were tons of kids playing basketball, bungee jumping, rock climbing, swimming in the pool, and playing on the jungle gym. I thought, "Is this a baseball field?" Who'd of thought to build all that into the diamond?
So I guess the good thing is that there is plenty of entertainment for the kids, but the downside is that we couldn't really watch the end of the game when we were overseeing the kids at the back of the field on the toys. . . Unfortunately, it was a school night, so we had to head home before the game was over. As we walked out they played "Take me out to the ball game" and had everyone in the stands sing along. It was fun. The kids didn't know the song. . . We really need to work on our knowledge of American pop culture besides what you see on the Disney Channel.

Humpty dumpty had a great jump. . .

Once upon a time, Mom and Dad were exhausted and decided to take a nap on a Sunday afternoon. Before settling down, they put their children snug into their own beds and warned them to sleep or else. Well. . . just as the mom and dad fell into a deep sleep, the children decided to make plans of their own. With a little help from her younger brother, Lily pulled the mattress off of the lower bunk bed onto the floor. This would provide the cushion for her and Gavin as they jumped off the platform of a higher piece of furniture. Together hand in hand, Lily and her brother jumped off and landed almost safe onto the cushion below. However as brilliant as this plan was, it didn't take into account one tiny cheek crushing into one tiny shoulder blade.

With screams and shouts of pain, Mom and Dad were woken from their deep slumber only to find a very hurt little girl and sad little boy.

After thorough interrogations, deductions were made and the story was uncovered. The reward? About three weeks of wearing a black eye in public. This was quite devestating for an already slightly vain 5 year old. Of course I caved and let her wear some makeup to conceal it the first couple of days. That helped slightly.
