Today was recovery day.

Phoebe and I had the flurry of activity surrounding the big dance recital. Ray and Alex made a quick trip to Chicago for BrickWorld 2008, but missed their robot’s competition to get back to see Phoebe’s show. Alas, both events will occur the same weekend again next year…

The recital went well. The opening number was really pretty cool. The closer was neat, but by that time, I was so ready to leave (over three hours total!!!). Phoebe’s number was the third in the show, but she wanted to stay for bows, so we were there the whole time. It was almost 9:30 pm by the time we left the Performing Arts Center!

Today, I did some laundry and some dishes. Alex practiced some pitching, but since it wasn’t going well (the mosquitoes were a tad distracting and she had launched three balls clear over the barn!), so she didn’t practice long. Ray laid around a lot because he wasn’t feeling well, but eventually roused himself up to play with all the new Lego doodads he picked up out in Chicago.

Other than that, it was far from exciting. Honestly, it really wasn’t all that relaxing either. Though, we did finally watch that ABC Family Movie, Princess. It was really cute. I thought that it had great potential if it had not been a made for cable movie. We liked it anyhow.

Onward to a busy (albeit, slightly less busy) week!

Good Night!
