My Week 87

May 28th was a Memorial Day.  We ran errands all morning, then treated ourselves to an ice cream. 
Sugar Bear always thinks it's special to get ice cream in a cone.  I always feel a great need to capture the "eat it all" on the cone.  I love that.  Sugar Bear can be a real stickler for routine and "the usual".  This day she branched out and tried a new flavor.  I was a bit shocked. 

May 29th was a long day at work.....and we got home late after Dance Class.  I love that it is so bright out later in the evening, and so does our dog, Ivy. She is CRAZY for a good game of fetch.  She is constantly throwing her tennis ball at us.  The best way to get a photo of her is to have someone hold her tennis ball up in the air for her.  She concentrates on it so much.  She is such a pretty girl......but quite the moose.  She is about 80lbs exactly.

May 30th was a beautiful day.  I got off work early to get my girl from the bus, as her usual ride had other things to do.  I had the chance to actually do someone else a favor for once.  It felt great.  We stopped by a local furniture shop and picked up the new desk and book shelf I purchased for Sugar Bear's room.  We are "growing up" her room a bit.  (sniff....sigh....sniff....cry)  We still had time to hang out in our yard with all the pets when we got home.  I figured since I got a nice shot of the dog the day before, I might as well get a shot of our cat, Toby.  He is turning 12 this August.

May 31st the last official Dance Class before recital.  Sugar Bear was excited to bring home her costume.  We had a little fun with the tutu.  :)  I really adore this shot.  There is just something about it.  sigh.....  ♥

June 1st was a super special day.  It was my official LAST DAY OF WORK before summer break. WOO HOO.  I only work one day a week during the summer.  What is NOT to love about that?????  Nothing....that's what.  :)  Then......then.......Sugar Bear's School Spring Festival was that evening. It was fabulous.  She sang like 5 songs, and everyone danced and played instruments.  It was total awesomesauce!  Here she is singing a song in Spanish.  Love.Love.Love

June 2nd was Dance Recital Rehearsal.  This is our only opportunity to take photos.  I got tons a great shots of the kiddos dancing.  It is always such a treat to see them getting it all together.  I loved the color of Sugar Bear's costume.  So pretty.

June 3rd was the actual Dance Recital.  It was a wonderful show.  So much hard work went into it, and it surely paid off.  I so loved seeing so many beautiful young ladies I know dancing.  Sugar Bear did a GREAT job, and she felt so proud.  I love this picture of Sugar Bear and her friends.  These two young ladies, and their mom got Sugar to dance class each week.  It was such a blessing.
