So happy for your daughter and I know the feeling about recitals and helping and not being there this year. I used to help coordinate the recitals for years when my daughter danced... and this year we opted out of dance to swim. They called and asked if I could still help, and I felt awful- but just couldn't do it. It is a huge part of our lives gone now...<br /><br />And so we move on... into the next season...as it should be. BUT I am still in contact with the precious souls who lead this dance organization, and will always be friends and have a special bond with them!!Chris Carterhttp://themomcafe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-43629272166262778692014-05-12T10:40:57.153-05:002014-05-12T10:40:57.153-05:00That Rainbow Fish is ADORABLE!

I always wished I could just do the art and leave, and let someone else change diapers and suck up to demanding parents. =) I smiled when I read that the PreK kids have 'senioritis'!

Pets have a funny way of doing some of the most annoying things yet being so incredibly cute while they do it. God must have made pets with cute dust or something. <br /><br />Glad you and your daughter were able to participate in the recital. I bet it felt like a homecoming for both of you.<br /><br />Chocolate, hidden or not, is always a blessing! <br /><br />Kate at <a href="http://kborman.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Daily discovery</a> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-67896895600300715442014-05-11T21:23:34.526-05:002014-05-11T21:23:34.526-05:00Four more days for me, two with each class, then ...Four more days for me, two with each class, then pre-k graduation and BAM - done!

If you have nearly fifteen minutes to spare (or as much as you can stand), here's a YouTube link for a show choir competition these same girls were in: http://youtu.be/0t4hNGh7G6w I CAN sing, but I'm not a good singer.

I think I hit chords that only dolphins appreciate.<br />Love your version of the rainbow fish--it is adorable! With the bit of silver added.
