Father-Daughter Dance

Well, tonight was my first Father-Daughter Dance with DD. She absolutely loved it, honestly, I had a great time too. At 5 DD is getting more "girly" lately. Until she was about 2 1/2 I used to tell people, "oh, she is just another boy." Well, that isn't true anymore. It is both fun, and frightening, to watch her grow up. She is certainly very different from the boys. We got to the dance (which was held at the gym we belong to) shortly after the dance started and they had the gymnasium decorated very nicely with a DJ playing in one corner, food in another room, and nice tables where the girls could have their nails and/or lips done as well as a table where the girls could make little "princess hats." They also took professional photographs of the fathers and daughters. I guess we see the photo next Friday. Basically, this was well-organized and fun for everyone involved. There were girls there as old as high-school age and as young as 2-3. Everyone had a great time.

DS#2 had a soccer game this morning. This was a "club friendly" against a team from another club here in town. Basically, his team crushed the other team. They played extremely well. DS#2 probably had the best game he ever played. He loves playing defense and boy, did he play well this morning. Playing around with an older brother helps.
Next week Saturday we'll have 2-3 soccer games. We might have games Sunday too. In fact, with Spring Break for the local schools and Easter wedged together, we'll probably have a number of Sunday games this Spring in order to get all of the games in before the end of the Spring season. DD will play in a 3v3 soccer tournament on the Saturday before Easter. Very poor timing really, but we don't leave for vacation until Easter Sunday so we'll be playing.

I would love to say that I got a lot of work done today, but that didn't happen. I did get a few things done so I am fairly satisfied. I would like to have more accomplished by this time tonight but such is life. My in-laws are in town this weekend and don't leave until Tuesday. This means that they'll help with DS#3 on Monday and I'll have a chance to get more work done. Sunday, well, it looks busy tomorrow.
