Last week was a busy week and by the looks of our schedules this week will be no different. I guess this is just how life is going to be from now on with me working but the kids are adjusting well so that is all that matters! Tomorrow I have ANOTHER training class and I can't wait to put that one behind me and get back into a comfort stage (which won't last long before I go back to training again). Matt took most of the day off tomorrow to watch Blake which is a big help (no sitter) and we are ALL looking forward to our trip home to celebrate Blake's birthday!

Jay had an awesome weekend away with Air Cadets. They went camping and the weather was great. He got to shoot an air rifle and was pretty proud of how close he came to the bulls eye :0) not long after he got home yesterday he was off to more basketball tryouts. It is some pretty tough competition for the A team but he will probably end up on the B team, he is ok with that, as long as he gets to play b-ball!

Trinity is working hard with all her dancing and now that the

New York Trip deposit is paid she knows that we are going to New York next summer and she is some excited about that! She (me and matt) is keeping busy with all her fundraising and it looks like I won't have to pay any money out of my pay check this month for her monthly payment for NY! Thank you to everyone who is helping her with her fundraising! ADVANCE WARNING...... SHE WILL BE SELLING COOKIE DOUGH WHEN WE ARE HOME VISITING! :0) Grandma and Grandpa we already got you! Kohl and Blake are still doing awesome with their dancing and I am so excited to finally see them perform on stage, what a show that will be. I get a sneak peak of Kohl every week doing his ballet and what a charmer he is, the girls are just loving having him in their class.

Breigh is growing fast and is getting better every day! She doesn't sleep all night but she's house trained and is off her leash a little more every day while in the house. Yesterday Blake had a sore foot so he curled up on the couch for a rest and like always Breigh was there to enjoy his cozy blanket. The new rule in this house is...."if you don't want a cuddle from the pup then don't sit down"! She loves to cuddle :0)

ON MY OWN WITH THE KIDS!

This week is going to be a bit more challenging for me! Matt just left for the airport and won't be back until later Wednesday evening which leaves me alone with the kids and trying to get Trinity to dance classes and me to work ON TIME! I have the new sitter coming tonight at 5pm so that I can go to work for 5:30pm and as soon as Blake falls asleep she can go home and Jay will take over for me until I get home at midnight. He should be ok with everything since the kids will all be sleeping and he can sleep in my room closer to Blake and have the monitor on for the other 2 upstairs. It will be a long night at work worrying about the kids but if there is a problem I will come right home. Tomorrow is a short shift for me (4-8pm) so that will be easier, but I have no idea how Trinity will get to and from dance class????and I'm off on Wednesday...thank God!

Well I guess I should go get ready, make supper for the kids and get their pj's on them before Jessica gets here!

GREAT NEWS! I FOUND A DRIVE TO AND FROM DANCE FOR TRINITY TOMORROW!

This week has been pretty busy and hectic. My schedule at work got changed this week due to a couple of new training class for me at work. Wednesday Blake spent the morning at my friend Jacqui's house with her 2 girls and Thursday Matt took the day off and watched Blake while I did my other training class. So for now I am done training again but will have more work and phone calls during my shifts. I now will take calls for 3 different accounts, Gump's catalogue orders, Doctors Without Borders donation forms and AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) memberships. That should help make the time go by faster. With any luck all this extra training will secure me a permanent position after Christmas!

Jay is still enjoy Air Cadets on Tuesdays and the lego robotics after school on Mondays and Thursdays. This Sunday is the school basketball tryouts so he will be there tomorrow at 4:00pm. Good Luck Jay!

Trinity is doing her usual, DANCING! Although she spent the entire morning singing along with videos off "Youtube" :0)

The boys had their dance classes this morning. I can't wait to see them on stage at their recital the end of May. It will be an amazing show! After their classes we drove into Westmount to Trin's other dance school that she does her troupe dancing at and paid the deposit for our trip to New York. $700 down and lots more to go.....

I have lasagna in the oven for Matt and the kids for supper tonight since I will be at work. Hopefully they will save me a piece because it is looking good!

Well I guess if I want to show to work on time I should go get ready. Matt will be waiting to switch off with the kids.

Have a great weekend!

Don't know what to say!

The kids were using their imagination yesterday when they came parading in with the grocery bags on, their comments were they were farmers(not quite sure on that one) anyway they went off to play for a while and when they returned they were giggling and commenting that now they were turkey's, stuffed turkey's what a laugh I had so I had to share this with you.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Here's hoping everyone has a great Thanksgiving Day, wishing we were able to visit but hoping to be able to get home for Halloween/Blake's B'day so keep your fingers crossed.

Thanksgiving at the park

It was a very nice day today so after dropping Mom off at work the kids wanted to go down to the park. Now the park they wanted to go to was down on the beach and let me tell you it was definetly freezing down there with the wind off the water. It was a good thing I had my new sweater jacket that Carrie bought for me yesterday or I would have froze. The kids didn't mind as they were running around like ninny's, we stayed for about an hour and than when to Shoppers to get a box of popcorn for the evening snack.

Movie Night

Well with Jay and Carrie gone for the night I put the kids to work cleaning up the house, they did a good job so I decided to reward them with a new movie out of the movie stash, sorry dear. The kids were excited that this movie came on the DVD player, I surprised them so they had their improvised movie snack(cupboards getting low) Cheese, crackers and grapes not your typical movie snack but I don't think they cared.

Mommy Save Us

As you all know Carrie has been working a lot lately so I have been able to spend quality (insanity) time with the kids. Today they pushed it too far, the running through the house and constant arguing got me to the limit. I was taping up some Halloween decorations and I fixed them good. OK, now before you call the police on me realize I am only joking and the kids and I decided to have some fun this afternoon while we were decorating the house. On the flip side the moment of silence in the house was really something to behold, ah the relaxation. Have fun at work dear.

Trinity had a great morning with her dance choreography! Mr. Foley has choreographed one of their troupe numbers and it is going to be fun. They are dancing to the circus theme of Circle de Soleil. I can't wait to see it. She goes to class again tomorrow from 2- 8:30pm to finish the choreography and she is so excited. Her friend Caylin's mom is picking her up tomorrow at noon and taking Trinity to her house for lunch then will drop off the girls and bring Trin back home so Matt won't have to pick her up.

I am at work and will be off at 11pm so I guess that is it for now!

As usual we are keeping very busy! Matt is on vacation this week ( well the kinda, sorta type of vacation). He has the district manager and district VP (someone important like that?) in for a visit tomorrow (wed) so he wants the store to be in tip top condition so that is where he is this morning but he will have to be home in time for me to go to work tonight and speaking of work let me tell you it was great. The training is going good so far and seems to be a great account to be work for. I am (will be) taking catalogue orders for Gumps catalogue. The items on the most part of very expensive but that doesn't keep people from placing the orders. The setting there is layed back along with the dress code, yay jeans everyday and the scheduling is very accommodating and that what I need. It looks like my training will be all week and will have the weekend off so mom is you are reading this it could be a good weekend for a visit...we will both be off! Just kidding but think about it :0)

Sunday the kids had a great time! We were getting the main floor bathroom painted so the boys were up stairs building lego then it turned into the war. They built guns out of lego and mega blocks, got dressed in their camo gear and started running through the house. Miss Trinity wanted in on the fun, so she found her black and white camo and joined the boys. I was a little on edge with four kids and the dog running through the house just waiting for someone to get hurt but they were all playing together and having fun and I guess that is all that matters!

So what did we do yesterday (before work)? The kids had the day off school due to teacher in service day so everyone was home, well at least for a bit in the morning. I had found Jay a queen size bedroom set with mattress and box spring, headboard and rails, high boy dresser and long 6 drawer dresser with mirror (5 years old) for $200. He loves it and it fits great in his room! He picked out a new comforter set for the bed but he knows he will have to wait for Christmas but he is ok with that. (the picture is the comforter in the Sears catalogue)Kohl ended up getting Jays old mates bed and loves it. So that is that, Matt survived with the kids last night and I have a lot of cleaning to get done today.

Ok so I guess I can't forget to mention Jay's school dance last Friday night. He was a little hesitant on going but ended up going with his friend Matthew (his mom was a chaperone). Well to my surprise when he got home he was exhausted and his legs were sore, guess why? yep he danced! He had the time of his life but the next morning the poor boy couldn't move he was so sore. He got me to run him a hot bath which did help him and he got on with his day but didn't go to the Air Cadets activity day at the school. I am glad he had a great time and it's nice to see him getting involved with the school and having fun. My goodness has he ever grown up just since the first of September.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMIE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR GRAMMIE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Yesterday when we got home from picking up the kids at school we had found a surprise in the mail box for Kohl. It was a belated birthday card with a McDonalds gift card in it from his great auntie Birdie! You wouldn`t believe how surprised and happy that made him and now he is looking for his night out to McDonalds :0)

Thank you so much Bird for thinking of him, just look at that smile and you will see how it made his day!

I am so proud at how well Kohl is doing in school this year! So far staying focused doesn`t seem to be a problem (to me no news from the teacher is good news...right), he is reading so much better and as always has all kinds of friends but Blaire, she is still his bestest friend of all!

We have all been keeping busy this past week and it is hard to believe that we are already getting ready for the weekend. The other day I took Blake and Breigh and headed to Matt`s work for a walk and ended up stopping at the park by the ferry terminal for a few minutes. It was rather cold that day but Blake did have fun. Lucky for us we got to Zellers just before it started to rain. Breigh has been doing great walking with us and I think she looks forward to her walks just as much as Blake does.

We still have lots to get done around the house but we will get it all done, it`s just a matter of time. I have some new clothes for my new job on Monday and will get some new shoes tomorrow then I should be ready to go and after hearing about how much this trip to New York is going to cost I am readier then ever to go to work, we will sure be needing the extra money. I will let you know how I make out with my job next week but be patient with me if you don`t see a new post for a few days, I will be trying to find was to juggle everything. Maybe Matt will keep you updated for me with some posts!

Jay joined air cadets on Tuesday! He is just going to give it a try for now to see how he likes it but I think it will be good for him and it`s government funded so it won`t cost us much money (if any) and it is right next door at the Junior High School. His school pictures came back and are great! I will post a picture when I get them!

Well I guess that is it for now I am going to head down to Matt`s work again for a walk and if I leave soon I can take Blake to the park. I might leave Breigh home this time since she has been outside most of the morning! She is getting so big but still keeping us up at nights :0( She is a sweet heart and loves having her picture taken!

`(I love the arrow on her head)

Lately Blake has been big into transformers and the other night Blake wanted Jay to build him the Optimus Prime Transformer out of Lego so the 2 boys spent some time together in Jay's room trying to put it together. It was no surprise to me that Jay could do this for Blake then before we knew it there it was. Blake was so proud of his Lego transformer and first thing the next morning he ran upstairs to wake Kohl up to see it! Now Blake is asking Jay to build him the bumble bee transformer. He will have to wait because Jay spent the night at his friend Matthews house and will be home sometime soon.

Jay starting the youth bowling league last night. They spent the hour bowling for their average. I stopped in before it was done to watch since after next week I will no longer have my nights free to go watch. I had my job interview last Monday and got the call last night that my training will start on the 29th which is great timing because Matt will be on vacation and I won't have to worry about the kids or working my hours for training around Matt's. This is only a temporary position ofr 2-3 months that very well could lead into a part time or even full time position towards the end so I am looking forward to the new steps ahead.

So dancing has been going good, keeping me busy but I don't mind all the running around. Trinity managed to pick up another class of ballet which means on Thursday nights she will dance from 5-8pm straight where she did have a break from 7-7:30 but since she will be there anyway every week Kim her teacher said she may as well be dancing! Now she will be doing a total of 10 dances and it doesn't end there, I got a phone call last night from Kohl dance teacher Amelia, she wanted to know if it would be ok to move Kohl up to a more advanced class in tap, jazz and ballet. He was one of the top 3 dancers that were offered this chance and he was so excited. He gave it a try today and did awesome! I am afraid we have another focused dancer on our hands who is moving quickly up the ladder! He isn't to sure about his hip hop class so he will keep with it until Christmas break and decide whether he will stick with it or not...I thought that was funny because Trinity didn't really care for that style of dancing either.

Blake didn't have a very good day yesterday, the poor boy. I can't even remember how many times he got hurt yesterday. It started off in the morning with Jay, Matthew and Blake outside on the trampoline, I don't know what happened but when Blake was getting off apparently he fell on his face and hurt his nose. At lunch time when Jay and Matthew were here they again were on the trampoline. Jay left quickly for school with Matthew because they were running late so after a few minutes I went outside to check on Blake and he was crying on the trampoline with his eyes closed. He couldn't open his eyes because Jay hit him in the eye with the soft light saber. He was crawling around with his eyes shut trying to find his way off the trampoline, so finally mom came to the rescue! After picking up the kids from school, we walked home and as soon as we hit the yard Blake went running (for the trampoline) and fell on the driveway and scrapped his nose and chin but this point we thought it would be better if he spent some time in his room watching tv, as he turned to go in the house he tripped on the step and took another fall. Luckily that was it for the night. It just wasn't his day!

So what has Breigh been up to? Well she is definitely growing and she is getting better with every day that goes by. The house training was going pretty good but she has been having the odd accident in the house but how can you call it an accident when the outside door is open? Anyway she loves to cuddle and this lepord blanket has become her favorite! She has been keeping us up at nights with her whinning and game playing. She will cry to go out and she will have her pee then come in, get her treat and go back in her kennel, then a few minutes later she will cry to go out again, she will have a poo, come in, get her treat then go back in her kennel. Most time she will be fine after that but lately she doesn't want to be in the kennel she wants either on the couch in our room or in the bed under the blankets at the foot of the bed. So we are thinking of trying her on the couch on her leash to see if she will still wake us up when she needs to go out. If all goes well she won't have to sleep in the kennel any more! As for the bed I don't want to start any bad habits because I love my space when I'm sleeping...just ask Matt about that LOL!

In the last picture of Breigh on your left... check out Breigh's head. Do you see the marking of an arrow between her eyes. I think this is very unique! Oh and she is in Blake's stroller! She didn't want to go for a walk the other day so thought she would hop in Blake's seat. She didn't stay there because Blake gave her the boot but she wasn't long jumping in the basket of the stroller.

Ok that's it for now I am going to get the kids in bed and hit the bed early. Hopefully Jay will be home soon because I don't think he has the house key on him. I guess I will have to wait up until he gets home.

SO WHAT'S NEW.....

....BESIDES A LOT OF DANCING????

You would think that by now with school going on it's second week that things around here would be starting to get into routine, RIGHT? Well guess again. There is so much going on that it is making it hard to focus on EVERYTHING. The kids are making out really well in school, Kohl got stung by a wasp at school today which left quite a bit of swelling to his arm but it seems to be going down which is good because if you know Kohl you know how bad he swells with bug bits!

Trinity starts her dance classes with technique jazz tomorrow, troupe (in Sydney at the other dance school) on Wednesday and tap, 2 classes of jazz, ballet and lyrical on Thursday then it is back on Saturday with the boys! I believe that Jay starts bowling on Friday with his good friend Matthew (his mother is in charge of the bowling) so I guess I should give her a call to see what the plans are there???? I think it's their poker night at the house so I'm sure the boys will be getting together to hang out! Oh and get this Jay is starting to ask me about hip hop dancing! What's up with that???? lol I know he would really like to do it and would have fun but he is shy and I think that is the only thing holding him back right now but I might (if he wants) take him to a class to watch to see what they do (there is another boy in that class). Jay is really starting to open up :0)

So besides doing a lot of running around what have we been up to? Matt has been busy with work but is on vacation the end of the month. We aren't going anywhere!!!! Just sitting back and enjoying the time off! (like that will happen) I went to the call center on Friday to drop off my application and resume and ended up going through some testing then was set up with an interview for this morning! It went really well but I have to wait until the next position is open. I think it is the first of October and is only a 2-3 month temporary position with lots of opportunities to work into a full or part time job. These were all just fill the first of the month so I will have to wait but it's better then nothing and the pay is pretty good. I will be doing inbound calls taking catalogue orders so that doesn't sound to complicated....I think it's a great place to get started. The other thing is that I need this position to be evening shifts but the supervisor was pretty sure that's what is was going to be. Wish me luck! I can't wait to get started!

I guess that is it for now I should go get Kohl's homework done!

Have a great week!

THE DANCING BEGINS....

....AND IT STARTS WITH THE BOYS!

Blake is in the pink preschool class with his teachers Amelia, Ashley and Morgan

"First tap class"

Let the tapping begin!

Blake is sitting beside his helper teacher Morgan... this is during Jazz class.

The kids are warming up with some stretching.

For working so hard they had a little fun in the end and Blake had a blast!

Now it's time for freeze dance...let's see how well the kids can listen!

Kohl was some happy to finally get back into tap class. I think he really missed not doing it last year!

Kohl getting back into his tap shoes. He wanted the shoes this year without laces (like Trinity's) which only cost us $80 but he's worth it!

JAZZ!

Jazz class...this is the first time taking Jazz. I must say he is pretty good at it!

and I also must say that Kohl is going to be quite the ballet dancer!

SMELLS LIKE STRAWBERRIES!

I my goodness, while laying on the couch last night with Breigh near I realized how stinky she was. Then it came a point when I couldn't take it any longer and march our littlest princess up the stairs and gave her a bath. Now I expected this task not to go over very well and called for Matt to bring me her leash just in case I needed it but to our surprise she just stood there and took it! We still have not bought any shampoo for her so again I had to use the strawberry shampoo and boy did she ever smell good after that. When she was all done she cuddled up with her towel. What a baby she is! I think she's a keeper :o)

Oh and the good news about Breigh is that I think she is finally house trained. She will now let us know when she needs to go out and if we don't pay attention to her she will nudge us with her nose! Now if we could only get her to stop chewing holes in her new bed!

STOP BULLYING IN SCHOOLS!

Yes Jay and Kohl are wearing pink!

Today the kids helped show their support with the school against bullying by participating in wearing pink shirts. We went out last night and found shirts for the boys! Blake was actually excited for once that he didn't go to school because there was no way he was wearing pink.

I am very proud of the kids for making a stand against bullying!

BLAKE'S CHOREOGRAPHY

Most of you have been enjoying Trinity dancing well now it's Blake's turn for the spotlight! Today I went looking for Blake and ended up finding him and Matt in the new dance room (old computer room) Blake was having a great time showing Matt his dance moves then I was invited back for his show. Luckily he let me video tap his performance.

I am sure that next Saturday when he finally starts his first dance class they will have a great time with Blake in the class! I think you can tell he grew up watching his sister dance!

BACK 2 SCHOOL

Jay Grade 7

First year of Junior High School! Not much to say about his morning so far. He left for school after we did but his good friend Matthew was here and they were going to walk to the school together. Apparently he has a great homeroom teacher this year ( Matthews mom is a teacher at the school so I can find out some things from her). Jay and Matthew will be here at noon for lunch which will be different for Jay being able to come home to eat.

Trinity Grade 3

She ended up have Mrs. LeBlanc as her teacher which we found pretty funny because my grade 3 teachers name was Mrs. LeBlanc and Matt's grade 3 teachers name was Mrs. LeBlanc. This year her and her friends were seperated into different classes (which isn't a bad thing...they were a BIT chatty) but she does have a couple of close friends with her this year from grade 2.

Kohl Grade 1

He was very excited to have 2 of his bestest friends from last year in his class. I don't think this is a good thing for his new teacher but I'm sure before too long she will have them divided throughout the classroom. It was sooooo cute, they all gave each other hugs! I call them the 3 musketeers :0)

Just one more year then Blake will be starting school. he can't wait! What is up with that face?????! Lately when I say to smile for the camera that is what I get... this could make for some nice pictures when I take him to the portrait studio in the next couple of months. What a kid! LOL

LET THE DANCING BEGIN!

I know you are still probably waiting for picture of our summer vacation but I just haven't had any spare time to sit down and go threw them all. I promise once the kids are back to school I will get some posted!

Last week mom and Robin were here for a visit and mom was able to go watch Trinity finish the choreography of her solo. She wasn't able to do her work to her very best with having a pulled hamstring AGAIN (looking into physio) but she did what she could to learn the choreography, the rest will come later, she still has lots of time before competition! Mom and Robin also got to see Trinity during her summer dance camp and now knows what kind of hard work goes into her dancing! It was also Kohl's last day at dance camp and we all got to see the 3 dances they learned. He had so much fun!

I have Trinity, Kohl and Blake all registered for dance! Now I am just waiting for the total amount due each month for their classes. This is going to be a NIGHTMARE but we will make it work (somehow). Trinity will be taking technique jazz on Tuesdays, Troupe on Wednesdays where she will over the year be learning 3 dances and going to New York next summer) and on Thursdays she will be taking Jazz (same class as last year), ballet, Jazz (advanced class), tap (advanced class) then will have a 30 minute break and will do lyrical. Thursdays will be a busy night for her. Kohl will do tap, jazz, ballet Saturday mornings followed by his hip hop class and Blake will be doing tap , jazz and ballet Saturday mornings before Kohl's classes. Yes it is going to be a busy year.

Jay has decided to continue with his guitar lessons but would rather play the electric guitar but that isn't something he will be getting until Christmas. So in the mean time he will practice with his other guitar. It will be really hard for him to make the basketball team this year in junior high with all the grade 9 players but he will try his best and if not he will try again next year. He is going to do youth bowling with his friend ( his mother organizes it) and will look into other school sports throughout the year.

check out Trinity's dance after only 2 hours of choreography! now she will work on perfecting it for Spring!

LOTS TO CATCH UP ON....

.....OH MY AND WHERE DO I START????

I know some of you may be waiting for pictures of our family vacation but I honestly haven't had the time to get them on here. As you may know that nothing really slows down around especially when it comes to the kids dancing. Jay has been off with his friends family camping on the weekends and Kohl and Trinity are back to dance camp and with all this this exciting part of the dance year is that Trinity just started her solo this morning and already has half the choreography done and my goodness it is FAST! She will have her dance finished next Tuesday morning and will run through it again tomorrow at dance camp.

Check out the video of her after only one hour of class.....it still needs lots of work and cleaning up but she has 7 1/2 months until competition. This dance is a real challenge for Trinity as Kim her dance teacher (owner of dance school) choreographed her dance two dance levels higher than her class. She knows that Trinity is a hard worker and is working on the other levels at dance camp and can handle it. Hey get this the best part for me is that she will be reusing her dance costume from her duo (they won GOLD) a couple of years back with some changes!

this is fast....hope you can keep up lol!

KOHL IS NOW 6 YEARS OLD!

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY KOHL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KOHL...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Love always Dad, Mom, Jay, Trinity, Blake and Breigh

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

Today me and hubby are celebrating our 7th Wedding Anniversary!

GETTING THINGS PACKED...

A CAMPING WE WILL GO!

Since Matt was off yesterday and him and Jay didn't have any work to do with the demolition clean up we decided that we would start packing things into the van. As usual the carrier on the van was full and we couldn't get it closed tight enough for the locks to work so I climbed on top of the carrier and pushed down the cover. Whatever works I guess! LOL Lucky for us our neighbors weren't home! The rest of the stuff is piled high in the kitchen and will be packed into the van when the rain stops. At this rate come Friday we (I) won't be stressed to the max finding room for everything and everyone in the van. We should be able to sit back impatiently waiting for the phone call from Matt saying he is ready to leave!

A HOT SUMMER DAY (Friday)

This was me and miss Trinity just before it clouded over and started to rain but it didn't stop us from enjoying the pool....

(my belly is a little pink and that was just while I was talking to dad on the phone)

During the showers the kids took turns bouncing and diving into the pool. What a great time we had. I even took a jump and made it over the side LOL! Then when Matt got home we took a family swim before going shopping for some camping supplies!

Enjoy watching the kids have a blast in the pool!

Jay taking the first run at it...

Watch how Trinity does it! LOL

This was right up Kohl's ally and he makes it!

Blake needed some help so Jay threw him over the side. He loved it and by the end of all the fun he was flying into the pool!

JAY'S FIRST DAY ON THE JOB!

Well here they are hard at work! Matt and Jay have found a way to make some extra money. I could to but it would cost me money for a sitter so it isn't worth it for me. Thursday both Matt and Jay each made $60 and were going to go back today but it is raining so we will see what the weather brings tomorrow.

ANOTHER DAY AT DANCE CAMP!

Trinity is loving her dancing as always but after next Wednesday she will have to take a couple of weeks off to go on vacation with us. I think if she had it her way she would stay behind to dance but she will still have many more weeks of dancing before her sessions start up again in September. Fortunately for us Matt has picked up some work with a friend of his doing demolition clean up and that has been paying for her dance camp as well as Kohl's. Once that is all taken care of we will just need to come up with another $150 for her solo. At least that is a one time shot! Kohl starts his dance camp on Wednesday and is getting really excited!
