Another year another dollar (spent lol), we are currently in the middle of dance rehearsals, and singing practices, all very exciting, luckily, mabey a phenomenom in homeschool circles?? we didn't really have to spend too much, in fact for the dance the teacher, even suggested a secondhand shop to puruse for costume ideas, and the $2 for sequins and so forth, so me being me, I went all out, so Merah Moos top and skirt are all sequined till they can hold no more!! Not really, I think I got just the right amount not over the top!!
She is now wearing black legwarmers over white tights, and black and white striped socks instead of the white legwarmers, so she looks pretty funky, the theme was just black and white, so everyone was able to put in their little bit of creativity. She is also in make up, something about the lights making you green when you perform???! anyway, she just loves it haha. Im trying to upload a video to UTube but its taking an awful long time so when it does I'll paste a link here, its from her dress rehersal at the auditorium today.
Speaking of today, dropped one daughter of at singing about 15 mins before it started, then took of to the other side of town for the dance rehearsal, dont need a crystal ball to see where its all going now haha. Just have my son to turn 5 now and I'll need a time machine to get me to the various appointments on time, I'll definitely need to find a good takeaway coffee shop to keep me going lol!
Lisey and Merah have their singing performance next Thursday, its just part of the normal practice, so not at night. They are dressing in red or green top with jeans and a Christmas hat of some kind. Now that Merah has gotten a taste of performing in front of people, I think she will be glad to sing next week!! She's come a long way since I took her to her first ballet class, but I guess thats what a few years can do to a person!
Lisey is enjoying performing also, she is more confident, and likes getting to interact with other kids, I do want to get her into dance next year, it might not be what she likes, she'd prefer hip hop or something similar, but it will cover the curriculum for dance and performance., I'll try her in the first term and see how we go.
Lisey and I are getting into handmade bags, we did a jean bag with an old pair of her jeans:, she didn't sew much of it, but she did sew on the sequins. She is going to learn somemore sewing, might see if we can make some rag dolls and sell them, something where my daughters can be creative and also learn economics at the same time. Heres the jean bag:
And this is my flower power bag, just going to use it for knitting or similar:
Its a cord type material with a velveteen liining:
