Dancing Days

I'll start by saying- we have had a WONDERFUL first week of summer!!!! Now to recap the last couple of weeks- May 19th was Annistyn first dance recital! She did so great! I didn't know what to expect- she is pretty unpredictable, but she couldn't have done better! Here she is dressed as a little lamb:

And here she is afterwards with the roses she got from her Daddy...
The week after the recital was our last week of school. I have enjoyed this past week so much! We have spent a lot of time in Mimi's pool. Wednesday we took a day trip to the beach. This is what Annistyn did the whole time:
Yes- she is doing a passe' on the beach. She danced the WHOLE time. She pretty much dances all the time anyway. She loves to do back flip overs off the loveseat. She says she has to "practice". Here are a couple more pictures from the beach day...
She is such a mess! Yesterday, she walked in my room and said, "Mommy, are you going to get on Medicare?" I guess she had been watching the news. Ha!!! Every day this week she has worn her high heels most of the day. She puts them on as soon as she gets up, so usually when I see her in the mornings she has on her pajamas and plastic heels. She is still a little nerd and told me that I have to be her teacher because she can't read and she needs to know how. Every day she wants to have school. She is really into beginning sounds and adding things right now. She is constantly saying things like, "Mommy! I have a napkin. N-N-Napkin. Napkin starts with 'n'!" As far as her adding- she likes to make up word problems like- I have 2 bunnies and 2 more bunnies hop up. How many now? Let's count them! She uses her fingers on both hands. I am not sure what inspired her to do this or why she is remotely interested in it right now. As for me- I got up 2 mornings this week for sunrise jogs. There is noting prettier than watching the sun come up! The other 2 mornings I went to a spinning class. It starts at 5:30 a.m. so I have just enough time to get home before Michael leaves. It is SUCH a good workout!!! I have never done a spinning class before- but I have really enjoyed it. Last night I snapped a couple of pictures of Annistyn and Michael. They turned out really sweet!
Well, that's all for now! Since Annistyn was wanting to do school, I have been doing a little daily letter theme with her. It has been fun and I will post some photos from that later. :) And don't worry about Finley Dog- he is already getting used to the summer break...
