First Tap Recital, An Auburn Game, and a little Halloween... again.

Fran recently moved up into the "Big Girl" class in dance. In the preschool class, they only did ballet and tumbling. The big girls add tap to the mix. And let me tell you... we were entertained. Not only does our "somewhat shy in front of strangers" become a complete ham when she starts tapping, but she doesn't even seem to mind that most of the class, including her, is exactly one beat behind the music and teacher because they are all staring at her for their next move. Adorable! Love it!



In ballet, they have also added bar (or it is barre) work to the routine. Their bar is really just a wall because they lost their classroom at the rec center. :-) This part was really pretty, and they did a great job! They are learning all of the positions, etc. Fran loves it all! They will also have a new classroom for her next session this spring.

I never finished posting all of our Halloween fun. And there was an Auburn game thrown into the mix, too! We have been busy!

On Halloween, I noticed that Rush didn't seem to be very excited. He has been REALLY pumped about being Luke Skywalker, but he just wasn't into it. After about 10 houses, he asked to go home. When we got home, he laid down, and I felt his head. Had a fever. It turned out to be nothing major, but I was sad that he didn't get to enjoy the night to the fullest.



Rush and Frannie also go to go to their first Auburn game together. We had a great time... well sorta... parts were fun! We met up with Aunt Ivy, Uncle Tony, and Kate before the game and played around on campus a bit. Then, we headed in to the game. Let's just say that it was interesting. They did like seeing the eagle fly around the stadium, but for Rush, that was about it. Fran was able to pay attention to a few other things, but overall, it was just kind of blah. Maybe they just aren't quite old enough. Thankfully, we had tickets in the "free food" section because Rush dropped his popcorn... twice. It was lovely with tears and everything. The kids barely watched the game, and it seemed to last forever because we were winning big. Anyway,we pretended we had fun. Rush and Phil left in the second quarter, and Fran and I stayed to see the half time show. They both really love riding the transit bus to and from the game, so that was a bright spot. :-)

They got their picture made with the "Juliets". For some reason, SF kept calling them the "Juliets" rather than majorettes. I didn't correct her because I thought it was cute! She was excited! Rush acted really shy and wouldn't get his picture made with them. Kate and Fran were on board, though.



Been a busy Fall season, and now it's time for the holidays!
