Monday

We survived dance groups day yesterday. The girls did an amazing job and Miss D felt really good! No high temps and plenty of energy.

Day one of solos today with a break tommorrow and solos every day until Saturday.

It's always such a relief when groups day is over. It's alot of preparation leading up to the event, but it's all worth it when the girls dance on stage.

They placed really well including a first, two seconds and a fourth.

They are a lovely group of girls and they all get along so well.

And I love the fact that the mums help each other when dressing and pinning the girls into the costumes, lending a hand when needed.

With quick costume changes, things can get very chaotic...but this is all a part of the day.

We had an afternoon at home today, catching up on a few things.

The smoky hazy is really annoying me (everyone).

Just look at our driveway at 5pm........

Really enjoyed your 'My Country' post ... I really 'get' what you're saying. It's a great place to raise a family.
All the best with the dancing and hope the smoke clears soon (been fires up here too, everybody gets a little carried away after early rain).

We have had lots of smoke and fires around our place as well, its frustrating when the weather is so nice but with all the smoke in the air, it makes the clothes all smoky!!

I hate the smoke and smell from burning off too! It permiates everything!!

Farmers Wifey said...

@ Naomi I think it is all over Qld really, something about the atmosphere and the smoke being trapped or something...

@ Trish we are using our dryer alot. So much so that there are webs on the clothesline.

@ Kirsty my husband said the same thing..it would be a great day and so clear if not for the smoke!

@ Lisa even our water tastes smoky!

Glad it all worked out. The burning off smoke is horrible. We used to get it bad at a house we used to live in.
