Hadley and Reese both had their ballet recitals this past weekend. They both take at two different ballet places, sounds crazy but the times for their different ages just made sense. That being said, their recitals were on the same day...luckily at two different times but it made for a busy day.
Hadley's recital was first...and I was bound and determined to be prepared to everything knowing that it would be a long day for everyone. So, I had the bags packed with snacks, water, first aid, clothes, books, cameras and we were ready to go to Hadley's recital...Early! We arrived about an hour early...but I was glad to not be rushed. We got out of the car to take pictures outside on the front steps of the church and took great pictures on a beautiful day. It was great until I asked Jason for the keys to get Hadley's ballet bag (with her shoes) out of the car...he said "in your purse"...my response...my purse is in the car!
Yes, no amount of planning can account for that! Locking keys in the car with the ballet shoes needed for the recital...for the daughter who is not ok wearing any old shoes...but her own! Thank the Lord we had gotten their early, and thank the Lord my husband is quick on his feet...he found a friend to let him use his car, drove home, got the spare key and got the shoes out right in time for Hadley's group to preform.
Now, I do have to say that was after a complete and total meltdown from her, trying on extra shoes from the ballet studio...none met her approval. She was 100% that she would not perform and until her Knight in shining armor arrived (daddy) with shoes in hand! Lesson learned...no amount of controlled planning can keep life from happening...go with the flow!
Sassy sister taking pictures before we realized the shoes were in the car!
Bebe and Hadley after her great recital, she did an incredible job. I know that girl is going to do something big one day!
Again, family pictures before the realization of the locked in shoes
Reese's recital was a few hours after Hadley's...we came home, ate lunch did another round of hair and makeup! Reese looks so grown up that it takes my breath away sometimes!
She did an incredible job and is a natural ballerina for sure!
