dance brings...

visions of foot illusions.  pointed toes.  and next year's choreography.

conversations overheard in bathroom stalls... of applying eyelashes... on young girls.

expensive souvenirs.  'puppy eyes'.  empty wallets.

and a chore chart to work off said souvenirs.

a room full of aerosol spray.

showmanship.

and lots of it.

Photobucket

backstage drama-mamas you may will want to put in time-out.

face gems glued to lil' girlie faces.

a crazy schedule.

Photobucket 

a patient and very supportive sister.  {getting up at 5:30 am is not easy on a homeschooler, you know.  this crazy schedule may or may not have caused a respiratory relapse in this sweet girl.  we are busy nursing her back to health.}

Photobucket

mom.  she was there, too.  can you see her?  she often forgets to turn the camera on herself.

Photobucket

and dad.  we ended our weekend extravaganza with a tour of daddy's office... and a nap.  because dance also brings...

exhaustion.

high gold.

and excitement.

two competitions down.  one more to go... for 2011.

    I think you and I have the same reaction to dance. I love it, but then sometimes I think some moms make it a little too "over the top" for my taste. This is our first year without dance and I miss many things. I loved watching my girls dance. But I didn't like the mothers who seemed to compete with each other over whose daughter was better.

    PS My girls sleep with their heads totally to the side in the car too! I always worry that their neck will hurt...but it never seems to!

    Hope your sweet girl is better soon!

    Love your photos!

    I don't know about you, but I love to see youngsters being so dedicated to what they love doing...and not playing video games!
