So much fun. We had SO much fun this weekend! It would be very convenient right now to refer you to the bit I wrote last year about recital weekend and all of the vicarious living that I do through Faith. Of course that isn’t possible since the blog monster came and ate all of last year’s entries. In summary: Faith has a happy amount of rhythm and grace and athletic ability - all things that I am in short supply of myself. What we have in common though is a love of drama and having all eyes on us so she has a great time at her dance recitals and she takes me along for the ride.

My very favorite part of this year’s costuming was Faith’s ponytail. She cut her hair short at Christmas and while it was adorable, it has not grown out enough to make a decent ponytail which is what she needed for her jazz costume. So we bought one. For $13 at Sally’s Beauty Supply we got a gorgeous pin-on ponytail. Items like that make it fun to be a girl. Here’s a pic of the ponytail, the rest are On the Fridge.
