Jazz Girls...

The girls have been taking Jazz all year and had their recital last week-end. There is so much work that goes into putting on these recitals it is amazing- not to mention the fact that the lessons are on base therefore much less expensive then anywhere off base. Their teacher is wonderful and the girls love her:)
I was the backstage mom again and boy did I get an earful of some of the drama involved with the parents- seriously it was absurd!! I finally told the gal who was telling me all this stuff that after some of the things I've been through this drama is completely unnecessary and that we are so lucky to have this service on base we should help to make it as pleasant as possible. One thing I am grateful for is that after all the trials we have had I appreciate things so much more and stuff that used to drive me insane I now see as unimportant. Ken says it's good to be old:)
I agree although I wouldn't classify us as old!! Ken wasn't able to go to the recital because of work- the girls were pretty bummed. Marah even had a talk with Grandma and let her know she was in charge of getting them flowers since dad usually does it but he had to work- for some reason I found this quite funny.
