And A Partridge In A Pear Tree?

June 27, 2009

Well, I have been packing everything for dance nationals for the past two days....

One frazzled Mom
Two excited dancers
Three puffy petticoats
Four sets of dance clothes for each of two dancers
Five pair of dance shoes for each dancer
Six pairs of tights times two dancers
Six costumes, safety pins, non areosol hairspray, non areosol hair gel
Bobby pins, six sets of jewelry for costumes, two wigs, hairnets, bobby pins, clippies,
Two hats, one in a tupperware container to avoid smashing, 1 tutu, 1 pair saddle shoes, fake ponytail, scarf, several leotards, bobby pins, regular clothes, lint brush, jammies, mom's clothes, earrings, knee high's, foot undies (dance shoe), brush, comb, toothbrush, registration papers, music for each dance, and backup music for each dance....stuff to do on the plane, boarding passes, hotel information, car rental information, dance schedule, choreographer phone numbers, bobby pins, treats for the plane, magazine to read, puzzle book, cell phone charger, hair straightener, curling iron, makeup, medicine, inhalers, camera, money, cell phones, bobby pins, hotel comfirmation information, competition confirmation information, fake eyelashes, sweatshirts, Koenig jackets, Koenig t-shirts, shampoo, toothbrush, and toothpaste, bobby pins, makeup remover, ace bandage, Cymbre's knee brace, and whatever else we thought of....

....And I hope we have enough bobby pins!

I feel like I should just say: And a partridge in a pear tree! We leave at 5am...see you all next week. And for those that need to know....you need to cheer around 10pm nightly for the next week!

Be good this week....

Love you.
