Last night was the Father/Daughter dance. It was a fundraiser for the school. It was held at a dance studio where they teach ballroom dancing. Emily was so excited about it!! The day she found out about it she was so excited and couldn't wait to ask her daddy if he would take her. Of course he said he would!!! So yesterday we went out and found a new pair of shoes (her old ones were a bit snug.) and her first pair of real nylons. She took a long shower and we painted her toenails and fingernails. She looked beautiful!!! Todd gave her a corsage right before they left and I gave her a little purse with some lip gloss. Very cute!!!! Callie and I had a special night with some friends bowling and out for ice cream. We then all drove to the studio to spy!! But they were already gone and having ice cream with some other dads and daughters. Apparently there were lots of moms spying. We were very discreet just driving by but other moms actually walked up to the window and peeked in and waved. They had a great time!!! Emily made a comment to me last night that she felt very lucky to have a dad who really wanted to go. Some of her friends dads told them that they would think about it or get back to them and never brought it up again. Very sad! Callie was a bit sad last night that she didn't go but she will get a chance next year.
Destination Imagination is officially over!! The state tournament was awesome! They gave their best performance ever. I was so proud of the team!! They placed 6th out of ten. It was kind of bittersweet. It is nice to have my afternoons and evenings back! We had a party Friday after school to celebrate.
Spring has finally made an appearance here! But....we still have some snow in our yard. It is almost gone. Woo Hoo!! With Springs arrival brings on the allergies. Ugh!
Todd leaves tomorrow for a trip to California for 11 days. I think this is the longest trip for him since we left the Air Force. The girls and I will be busy though with Girls Scouts and School activities. Emily has a big project coming up for Gateway. Callie will be working on her school musical that will be coming up in May. Emily had her musical a couple weeks ago. I will post pictures of that soon.
That is all for now. Love to all!!
