Dress Rehearsals

What a hectic day. We left at 9:30 am to go to the park to meet up with some of the other moms and kids from ballet. We thought it would be good to have them all play together before the big rehearsal. Well, 10 minutes into playing - Jess comes up complaining about her foot. I took her shoe off and the whole back of her foot was peeled off (HUGE broken blister). Of course, I don't have a bandaid and I don't have a pair of flip flops. So Jess and her little friend sat at the table and ate pretzels until we had to go. The rest of the day was spent running from one thing to another and we ended up going to the ballet dress rehearsal at 3:30. I was advised to put on hot pink lipstick, blush, and white eyeshadow on Jess so that she wouldn't be washed out on stage under the lights...so when you look at the pics below you'll know why she has on the heavy makeup.

I got home at 6:30, Chili's to go in tow (southwestern eggrolls...YUM-O!). I am so tired - but really just enjoying the nice, quiet house right now. Still plugging away at my pot of coffee (see previous post). I would really like to try to scrap tonight, but I am so exhausted that I'm afraid I'd just go sit in my chair and stare at some pretty paper or something...lol. Or maybe I'll feel energized once I polish off more of my coffee. ;) Who knows... at any rate, here are more of the pics I took at dress rehearsal today.
