First Dance - Neon!

So, we're doing this now. Dances. This was a dance for grades 5-8, and one parent for each kid had to attend. The dance theme was neon, but Eva didn't want any neon clothes. Instead, she went tie-dye. 

 

She had her clothes, including shoes, purse and earrings, out a few hours before dance time.  Lol. 

 

 

 Do you see the earrings hanging on the shirt?

Ready to go!

Group photo. They had a ton of fun, and they did dance.

Proof of dancing...

 

 

 

 

 

There was much complaining from Emily that she had to stay home, but she'd better get used to it over the next few years.  Maybe I need to arrange for a sleep over on these nights...

Volleyball

Eva is getting better every day at volleyball. Her serves now make it over the net, and she is doing much better bumping the ball. Her coach said she has all of the fundamentals down, and that she can't wait to see her play in a couple of years when she's bigger (stronger). 

 

She's a skinny girl now, but if she's anything like me she'll start putting muscle on when she's closer to 12.
