While I am updating I might as well get us current so here I go again.....
November = NUTCRACKER
So we decided to let Gracie try out for the Nutcracker with all of her girl cousins that were old enough to try out and never having danced myself I way underestimated the work that goes into this big of a production but wow I know now weekend practices (no absences allowed or you are pulled from the production) costume fittings, and pictures ( twice once in costumes once not).
Finally the week of we started Friday with an extra practice (also extra long) and a practice on Saturday (once again extra long) then Monday night dress rehersal....from 5-10:45PM in Provo!!
Finally though it was all worth it watching her first preformance we LOVED IT!! the whole thing she had a preforamce from 4:30 -6:00 and then another from 7:30-9:00 then Wednesday the same thing! the earliest we were home this week was 11:00PM!!
I cannot believe what a trooper she is and how much she loves it I am amazed by my little star!
Okay so starting back in September Ryan and I took the kids up butterfield canyon for some pictures in the leaves it was so pretty, the kds had a blast Gracie loves to pose and Fin loves to explore it's a win win!
Then we had my first preschool party/program for halloween, I love teaching I think the are the best kids in the whole world this has been so much fun!
Finley wanted to be Bob the Builder, and Gracie's "kitty grandma" made her a "Tangled" costume they looked so cute and both loved their costumes it was great!
The program was great they sang a few songs and then we had some yummy treats. I'm excited for our Thanksgiving feast next.
The kids loved carving pumpkins and when we were done we had to carve one more because we didn't make a sad pumpkin so Finley made us do another one, and Gracie loves to cook the seeds and eat them she explained to Ryan several times that he should eat them they taste like pomporn (popcorn)
I'm kind of a lame mom and don't have any pictures of Halloween but here is the aftermath!
