Princess Giselle

May is coming to a close and with it, the excitement of summer. This spring has been so beautiful and filled with fun activities.

Jenna finished preschool last Thursday, and next year starts kindergarten. Real school - I can't believe it! On Sunday she had her ballet recital. Each class was a different princess. Jenna's class (4/5 year old ballet) was princess Giselle from Enchanted. The song they danced to was Happy Working Song from the movie. Jenna did so well and we ordered the DVD of the show so we can watch it over and over again. Jenna is excited to do ballet next year and I'm contemplating putting Sarah in the 2/3 year old class.

I've also included a picture of Jenna and Nicholas doing magic tricks. When Nicholas came over for a sleepover, he showed Jenna how to do "magic tricks". These basically involved putting a card behind your back and then taking it out again. It was still cute. This picture is when they put on a magic show for me and Sarah.

In other news:

1. We planted our garden on Saturday. Hopefully we will remember to water it after the baby comes!
2. We planted a blueberry bush I bought at Sams. I'm hoping we will actually get some blueberries!
3. I finished reading Beowulf's children and loved it! Now I'm reading The Madness Season by C.S. Friedman. Here is a picture of the cover of the book. Yesterday I went to the beauty salon to get my haircut and eyebrows waxed (necessity before the baby comes). Anyway, the beautician looked at the book with an odd expression and said "oh." No - I'm really not weird, it's a good book I promise, I just like sci-fi!
4. We signed up Jenna for Safety Town the last week of June. It will teach her to be safe in a variety of circumstances. She will learn about crossing the street, what to do if she gets lost, etc. It should be a fun week!
5. 79 on quiddler today and goul is not a word. I must need the "h". Really - if a letter is silent, why do you really need it anyway?
