Saturday Outing – Jefferson Dancers etc.

Jasmine and I had a busy day. First she had to clean her room – which took awhile – mostly because she throws all her clothes on the floor. After that, we headed out to do some mother’s day shopping. Jasmine picked out a rose, a crazy felt pen and a balloon. And of course right after we pay for the items, a downpour starts up outside. So we waited a bit for it to ease up – but we still got pretty wet.

Then we went to a couple stores to try to find ‘dark honey’ – whatever that is – to help with Emily’s coughing illness per the recommendation of the nurse hotline.

We got home kinda of late, and had to rush to make lunch before heading out again. Jasmine helped me make tunafish by cutting up celery and pickles, she also prepared the toast. When we sat down to eat, she kept getting sidetracked and wasn’t eating. Even though I know that saying hurrying up to a child never works I still said ‘we have eat fast so we can get to the concert on time.’ She said ‘I know dad, but staring at this grocery bag is really interesting.’

We did arrive to the Jefferson Dancer concert on time – barely. The show was amazing as usual.

Afterwards we walked down to the Pioneer Courthouse Square where Jasmine played on the stairs and admired the waterfalls. On the way home we picked up dinner from Five Guys Burgers and Fries – we liked that they serve free roasted peanuts while waiting.

Here are some photos of the dancers from their website:

Dance West 2011 Concert

Jasmine and I got dressed up to go out to see a dance show- the Dance West group. This is located at a local arts magnet school. The lobby was filled with student artwork – paintings, metal, and felt pieces. I really liked the theater – very cool lighting sconces. The show had a nice mixture of classical, modern, latin, jazz and broadway segments. It also had some singing and a couple live band numbers.

Easter Egg Decorating Party

Our friend Beth invited us a Easter Egg decorating party. We had a great time. Beth found these very cool Easter egg stands with bunny ears. Jasmine and Ella decorated a bunch of eggs. Although I think Emily ‘redecorated’ many of them after the girls went off to play.
