Maniac Monday

I would like to call my Maniac Monday...Mexican Monday!  Tonight at the last minute we decided to go to El Mariachi for supper.  YUM YUM YUM.  If you have never been there, it is a must.  It is in Johnston!  I opted out for making supper tonight because of our busy schedule this week and had no free time this week except for tonight to get Paige dance stuff.  OMG....this girl just costs too much already.  All I can say is that I hope her feet don't grow before recital time :)

Today was a special day because it was Paige's 1st day of 3 year old preschool.  Paige was super excited and couldn't wait.  I could tell she was going to like preschool because the minute we opened up the door to school, she marched up the stairs and was ready to play.  That was a good feeling for me and knew she was going to have a good year.

Paige wanted to take a picture on the mower-

What a smile Paige!

A little side profile shot...work it girl :)

Of course...she is wearing "powder", necklaces, and bracelet.  She even curled her eyelashes this morning.  I think we have our hands full with this chica!

Workin it again~~~~

Approaching preschool...

Paige has her own cubbie and hook for her backpack.  (Do you remember book orders?!  Paige came home with 3 book orders tonight.  When I was in school, I looked forward to ordering from the book orders.)

As I mentioned, dance starts next week and we have nothing!  So tonight I made my first dance shopping experience with Paige.  We walked into the store and Paige was in heaven with all the dance outfits and "pretties".  This was quite the ordeal buying ballet shoes, tap shoes, tights, and a dance outfit.  The staff was very very very helpful and knew exactly what to do with Paige and what she needed.  The lady put the tap shoes on Paige and the second she stepped down, they made the tap noise and she giggled and thought that was so cool.  The little things in life that make Paige giggle...LOVE IT.

While we were looking for a dance outfit, I noticed they had gymnastic outfits.  Paige will be signed up for gymnastics as well in Ankeny starting next week.  The result = buying a leotard.  I loved the leotard she picked.  You can't really tell in the picture but it was lime green, pink, orange, and all sorts of fun colors.

She must of been stretching in this picture??

I think she likes it!?

Will she be a dancer/gymnast or a volleyball and etc. girl?  That is the tough question!

Paige picked out a purple outfit for dance.

After spending some $, I was ready to get out of there and pray that she will NOT grow out of any of this for this year.  Overall, this was a fun night and something that I will look forward to doing with my girl every year.

~~~Good Night all~~~~
