Dance Competition

This weekend the girls competed at the Showbiz Dance Competition. They did amazing as always!! I woke up on Saturday feeling super yuck and ran to Urgent Care before they opened.  It was a cold, rainy morning in the desert and after they confirmed that the junk I had was viral, their advice was "to get lots of rest".  Ha.  I raced home and grabbed Kam's costume to run to the seamstress.  I dropped it off last week and asked that they let out 2 inches around the sparkly gold top and they took it in instead.  Needless to say, she couldn't dance in it without alteration.  I ran to the seamstress and she used her mad sewing skills to make it perfect within 30 minutes.  I wish I had that talent! 

After I got home it was time to get Owen's meds and settled in for the day before getting Kam's hair/makeup ready.  Soon to realize that she didn't have her tan fishnets because they tore during her last performance and I pitched them.  So we got Owen settled with Daddy and rushed to the dance store, then grabbed some lunch before arriving at the competition with minutes to spare.  Gigi and my Sis met us there and I'm so glad the girls are old enough to just "drop off" backstage and we settled into the auditorium to enjoy some seriously awesome dance competition!

But first, I got my mandatory picture.. Kam's face cracks me up.. "get this over with". 

The girls rocked it!  We were there for at least four hours before heading home for some dinner.  We were supposed to make a quick turn around and go back for the 10pm award show but my body was achy, my throat felt raw and I felt awful!  Kam and I found that we could live stream the competition, so we watched the awards portion on my laptop while lying in our pjs in bed.  All I heard was Diamond double platinum, Ruby Platinum and I drifted off to sleep.  I have no idea what place or awards they got. 

All day Sunday, I let the kids do whatever they wanted while I planted myself on the couch and watched the live stream of the solo/duo competitions on my laptop.

It is now Wednesday and I am feeling so gunky, my house wreaks of bleach and I am determined to keep this bug to myself.  The girls have another performance tonight and then we'll get a little break for a week or so.  Tis the season for dance and we all love it!
