August 30

And we're back to dance. We've had a nice break after intensives and auditions,  but it's time to get back to normal dance classes.

Lindsey had her first Acro Choreography and Production 2 classes this afternoon. I think she said her Acro dance is going to be 50's themed, with poodle skirts and swing dances. Production 2 will be a Latin theme. I believe she said the song is Hot, Hot, Hot.

Of course I had our first bill in our mailbox. Her monthly tuition will be $260/month. She has a total of 12 classes that fill out our weekend and Monday. To say I'm busy with 2 kids (my son plays baseball on a select semi-travel team) is an understatement.

Our studio will also be having a convention coming to our studio in October. It is optional, and I sure as heck don't remember saying Lindsey would be doing it, but that's on our bill as well. LOL I need to talk with our secretaries tomorrow about it. While I'm all for her doing it, we have a busy weekend with baseball, so I have no idea how I'd be fitting dance in there. The only thing I can think of is sticking a light on top of the car and calling it a taxi. My poor car! LOL

First day of summer intensives!

Lindsey's group is offered 15 classes, plus a 2-hour audition. The total cost is $220 for 3 days of classes.

An acting class was offered at the end of tonight and us moms had a good time watching the improv that was going on. It looked like the girls had a lot of fun, though.

We did some back to school shopping today and I of course had to pick up a few new dance things. New dance outfits are part of the dance mom expense, so I may as well add this to my dance total.

She'll be needing a new black leotard for ballet because she's out growing the one she has, but I'll have to pick that up at the studio.

I picked up 2 bra tops and 2 capri leggings at Aeropostle. The bra tops were in the sale bins for $7.99 each and the leggings were on sale for $15 each. I don't think there were any other percent off, and I don't have the receipt in front of me right now to even look. The capri leggings will be nice for the fall and winter time since we get cold, snowy weather. I did earn reward cards for all we bought there, so I'll be able to pick up at least another 2 outfits in a few weeks. Pretty good deal! (Well, for me at least).

Doesn't she look thrilled to be taking a
picture for me?
Bra top - $7.99
Capri leggings - $15

She's got a little more pep in her
step this morning.
