Ballet

Every Friday the kids bring home their "Friday Folder" which has all of their completed and scored papers on one side, and homework and newsletters on the other side. One thing I have grown to love about this school district is their constant communication. Any ways, this past Friday there was a handout in Emily's folder about beginning ballet being offered. Since we are in such a small district, sports and dance are not really offered for the younger kids. I could drive the 15 miles into Lincoln City every other day for practices and what not in a city that is well financed and full of youth sports and activities. However, when you work 10 hour days/6 days a week, it seems like a bit too much. Any ways, back to the ballet...it offers beginning ballet every Monday from 4:30-5:30. Typically I am not even home by 5:30, but being married to the owner of the deli and he being her dad, we can make an exception on those days! So I asked Emily if she would be interested in ballet and she got so excited. First practice is tonight, so this morning I rushed out to get her the required dress wear. Upon returning to work and finding the registration for the ballet class online, I read that there are specific colors of leotards, skirts, tights and slippers that they need to wear, none of which match what I just purchased! Looks like I get to go back shopping! But I excited that Emily finally gets to do something that she has always wanted to do...even if it requires me to go hunting for specific colors of leotards and skirts!!! I will post pictures soon!
