We came back from Jamaica to one crazy week! Sunday was Mother’s Day and Philip had to go back to work. We went to church and then went to Uncle Steve and Aunt Teri’s for a cookout. Somehow he managed to have gifts for me, even though we were gone the week before:)
Ainsley had her first gymnastics recital which also meant a night of dress rehearsal. She also had graduation from preschool (cue the tears), Parker had his end of year “beach party” and her and Parker both had their spring recitals. Ainsley has had the absolute BEST teachers this year. She really fell in love with both of them, and learned so much. She says she wants to stay in the grey room forever. Parker also fell in love with Mrs Shelley, which we did too when Ainsley had her 3 years ago.
The recitals were a disaster. Parker decided if he didn’t look out at audience, maybe they didn’t exist, so he stood with his back to us the entire time. He actually ended up in Miss Ellen’s lap. Ainsley got a case of nerves and stood still as a statue with tears in her eyes (it was beyond pitiful). BUT she stayed on stage and at the end received her certificate, which counts for something.
There was a 2 hour gap between their recitals. We left with Parker and returned with Batman.
Luckily the kids have family who love them and support them no matter what they do on stage:)
Saturday morning Ainsley had her gymnastics recital at Transy. We were a little uncertain how it would go, after Friday, but she did so so good! She smiled and had fun and did her routine! She even danced at the finale. When i went to pick her up i told her i was so proud of her and she said “I’m so proud of me too!” We went to HopCat for lunch to celebrate.
In between we’ve been enjoying being together and getting excited for summer. The kids have been wearing themselves out outside, wanting to sleep in, and living off popsicles :)
