Natalie's Dance Competition

Natalie's dance company was in a competition today. She is in the Divas company (5-7 year old girls). We had to drive and drive and drive, and then we finally got there. It took us more than double the time to drive there and back than we spent there. (It was really far, and since the freeway was shut down for a 3 mile stretch it took even longer.)

Here's Natalie with her "Big Sis" Megan.Natalie, Lily and Valerie

All the Divas before their performance. (Milea is in a sling because she broke her arm yesterday.)

The Divas performing "Dreamgirls."

The girls tapping. They did such a good job, and looked so cute!

I forgot to add... before we left to drive out to the HS where it was held I had to get my girl ready. Everyone had to match so I put brown eye shadow, black eyeliner, black mascara, blush and red lipstick on Natalie for the performance. No biggie... we even added glitter. (I had to go buy red lipstick this morning. Red lipstick and I do not look well together.) We also had to do her hair a certain way. (She got her barrette and jewelry when we got there). We did her hair and make-up, and as soon as we came downstairs I overheard Trevor say, "Natalie, no offense, but you're freaking me out like that." I came around the corner and asked him why, and he said, "Her eyes- looking like that... I just don't think she should do that. Ir's freaking me out. She doesn't even look like her."

Then a little while after we came home Natalie had her friend Devon come over. He's such a nice boy, and they were playing the Wii together. Eventually Drew and our next door neighbor Gaven came in to watch them play. Kent popped his head in and asked Drew who his friend was. He was talking about Natalie! Every time I think about it I laugh. She didn't look that different. I thought it was so funny!
