Last night was R's dance recital!  She (and the rest of her class) was so, so cute!  She had thrown a fit on Wednesday, saying that she was not going to dance, and that she was not going to the recital at all, but she quickly changed her mind before the dress rehearsal when she realized that she'd get to wear MAKE UP!!  Blue eye shadow and blush went a long way in fueling her excitement about dancing.  I also "happened" to mention that little girls who dance get their very own flowers.  She stopped mid-tirade and said "you mean red roses?"  Uhhh, yes, red roses!  (Thankfully they were on sale at the grocery store this week!)  We now have red roses as well as miniature pink and white roses in the kitchen, and a mixed bouquet in her bedroom. 

Here are some pictures (in both group shots, R is third from the left):

We have a busy day planned today, and I'll have more on that later!  Have a great Sunday!
