Another week has started, and we are still going to doctors. Cooper has yet another ear infection. Of course, it's just before competition starts. However, she won't be dancing this first competition. She is still in her cast, and we are really hoping that they will take it off for good on Monday. We'll see. they tested her for Mono since she keeps getting this sore throat, ear thing every few weeks. However, it's negative. I think I am glad....Doctor Ermac signed her cast for her too. She is proud! You almost can't see the pink anymore....she has so many friends.
Cymbre dances her two solos on Friday night, and they have their little baby groups on Saturday. They will go help with them backstage, and Cymbre will do the Doctor, Doctor dance as she is the Doctor. Guess I better get that jacket rhinestoned!
I've spent the day cutting out the fancy lace for Cooper's Firebird tutu. Discovered tonight that I have to make the tutu a bit bigger....will have to add a triangle of fabric and adjust the hooks. I'm glad I had her put it on tonight before I get it all decorated and feathered. Spent the entire morning cutting out the points on this lace....because it is a border print kind of lace, I couldn't make it like a poodle skirt and have it work on the tutu. SO, sit and cut for hours with little tiny scissors. This better work is all I have to say!! Decided I would glue the feathers on tulle circles, that way, they won't ruin this expensive lace overskirt. Now I just have to find a clear drying glue that Cooper isn't allergic too....the one I use for rhinstones is to sticky for the feathers...it will just be a wonderful mess! So, back to the drawing boards yet again. This costume is making my crazy...I know, it's a short trip.
Cymbre's eye is giving her a few minutes here and there of clear vision.....I hope that means it will come back totally one day really soon. She's a real trooper....but I know she hates it. Her knee is giving her shooting pains again today....I think it's because she ran down the stairs this morning because we got up really late....I just turned off my alarm and went back to sleep. THANK YOU HEADACHE PILL! We made it to school on time, but she ate her breakfast in the car....at least she ate!
Dad will be in Tulsa on Friday for the day...he has a SEG meeting. Maybe if he is lucky, he can meet up with Sissy for a little while.
I actually did some mending to today...miracles will never cease! I NEVER get that all done. I did the red stuff since I have red thread on the sewing machine.
Ms. Brittainey asked me to help her alter three costumes....I guess they are too little, so we have to add some length. I told her to get the material, and I would help her after we get back from California.
Rumor has it that I will be making button holes for Shyla, and cutting Jack's hair for Caleb while we are in California. Guess it's a good thing Grandma is coming to visit. I still get first snuggles with those babies, no matter what anyone else says. I even have the presents for the grandbabies....Grandpa and I are planning on having some fun with those little ones. We'll have some with the big ones too.
We are hoping that both the girls will be well enough to go visit their Master Tap Teacher, Mark Goodman while we are there.....he gives some lessons at this studio, and has said they can come. They would be so thrilled to see him again.
Cymbre and Guy are going to feed the rhinos again. Cooper and I are going whale watching with Shyla. Disneyland is also fit in there somewhere, and a new family photo on Saturday....it will be good to have the entire family together again for just a few days. Caleb, Holly, Jack, and Britni will all arrive later in the week, and be there for the weekend. We are all so excited.
Guess that's about all the news tonight.....thank goodness we are all healing and beginning to feel a bit better. Keep Those names on the prayer roll though ok! Thanks.
Love you bunches and bunches.
Mom
Cymbre fed the giraffe for Baby Eden who was to little to go to.
Cymbre's Rhinos!! They make best friends for life, and then do everything with that friend. Sometimes, it's really a relative...like a big sister. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
Feeding a rhinos at San Diego Zoo...yes, she got Dad to pay the extra money...
More apple slices anyone?
Thanks so much...see my horn!
