Monday June 26....

...........Aundrea's glasses finally arrived.. .. the recital is over, school is out, dance is out, the dance camp is over and also the parade...... so now we have 2 weeks and it all starts again!! She did very well in the recital. She had a ball changing costumes and she is such a little ham. I was not thrilled with her Jazz teacher tho... she put jazz I with the ballet I kids and did a TISKET A TASKET and NO STRINGS ON ME from Pinnochio... and had the girls dressed like Dorothy from WIZARD OF OZ. Didn't make sense and Aundrea was way ahead of the ballet I group. For the summer she is moved up to jazz III because of the timeing of the class. I don't want to spend the whole day or week in Port Orchard. So I talked to Erin who teaches the class and she said she would do fine. She will stay Ballet III for the summer but move up in the fall to IV. She is also taking tap and of course performance. They called for tryouts for performance and none of us asked so we took the girls and had them try out again..... Erin said they didn't have to cause they were already on the team. We didn't tell the kids that tho.
.............I committed the sin no grandma is allowed to commit. I forgot it was Tiarra's birthday. I had gotten her presents but we were so busy Saturday that I totally spaced it off. So we caught up with her last night and she was happy. I still have to make her another dress but had lost her measurements so I got them again and will get her done.
............Saturday we drove up to Sequim ( Discovery Bay actually) and attended a presentation by Trend West and got a free trip to San Francisco, air fair included. I love that cause I have a cousin down there and will hope they are available when we decide to go. Last time we went to a Trend West deal they were so vile and rude I swore I would never go again. This time they were very nice. WE did NOT buy in and they were still nice and polite. We came back just in time to pick up Eileen and go to Port Orchard for the Fathoms of Fun parade that the Dance Gallery kids were in. They did great with very little time learning. This was the pay off for the dance camp which I believe benefited the Major Motion Dance Company. It was company dancers that taught the camp. I watched them in the parade and kept thinking.... this cost her mom and dad almost $100 bucks and she got a tee shirt and was in the parade?! But they really loved it. Her friend Luna went too and she was NOT nearly as thrilled with dancing the parade route and then walking back to the starting point. We met them with Luna's mom as they were coming back. Janet looked about done. Luna was not too thrilled and Aundrea was ready to go again. Many of the groups in the parade tossed out candy and stickers and other treasures. The girls got some candies and Luna caught a pen and was thinking she was really cool when one of the guys from that group came over to Aundrea and said she looked really cute in her make up and gave her a huge spiral notebook with a holographic cover. I think Luna was just a tad green.
.............Or momma cat and kittens are ready to go but we got a call fromt the foster cordinator and they had distemper in the holding area the other day so they are not bringing any of the babies in for about 2 weeks. The babies have only had one shot so would still be suseptible (boy is that spelled wrong?) . They are taking over the house now. They run all over and there were all 6 of them curled up on one kitchen chair today. Some were hanging over a tad!!
