More Tutus and Tap Shoes

Last night Katelyn acted so much better than last week. She was chosen to be the class line leader and I think that really helped her be a better dancer because she was really paying attention to the teacher instead of playing. She still isn't as coordinator as some of the other little dancers but she is so much fun to watch!

Just Wondering....

Much to many people's happiness, Justin and I have been thinking more about when we want to have a second child. During these conversations I often find myself puzzling over just how people lived with so many children in such small houses in years gone by. As most of you know we currently live in a three bedroom one bathroom house that is cozy but really not that small. I just wonder how people were ever comfortable in the same living conditions with more children. We are cramped! We think we have decided to purchase a storage building in order to move many of Justin's hunting items such as the four-wheeler and the lawn care equipment out to the building to free up more practical storage room for Katelyn's outgrown clothes and toys. Heaven forbid we get rid of them and then need them sometime in the future. I just hate the fact that we only have one bathroom but I have come to the conclusion that if other families have done with less in the past surely we can live with one bathroom!

It all comes down to something that I heard on Opera's Spending diet show I guess. You just have to be happy with what you have instead of buying things you think will make you happy. Justin and I have decided to be happy with what we have regardless of whether we have another baby or not. We just have to figure out what to do with all the extra junk that is driving us crazy instead of making us happy. Please let me know if you have any good organizational ideas!

Golf and Dance

Katelyn experienced two big firsts since the last time I wrote almost a month ago...boy does time fly by these days! The first one was her first minature golf experience. SHE LOVED IT! She would make a great hockey player. I took a video to share but it is sideways. I'm posting it for your enjoyment but don't hurt your neck....sorry!

Her second big first was her first day of dance class. She is taking dance from a little studio called Tutus and Tap Shoes on Tuesday nights. Tonight was the first night and she was so excited to go but she didn't behave very well while we were there. She was also thrown off a little when everyone started tap dancing at the same time. It was quite loud. I took her because Justin had to work late and I found out that the parent's are only allowed to watch on the first night so I felt horrible that he didn't get to watch her and that my batteries were dying on my camera and they didn't take very good pictures. Here are a couple cute ones though...
