The semi-formal 5 year old

Last night Kylinn & Adam attended the "Daddy Daughter Dance" at her school. It was a luau complete with a huge meal, limbo & hula, sand, fish, live dj and a gift raffle. I had bought her a Hawaiian dress ahead of time, and a back up toile dress for my very particular fashionista. Of course, the Hawaiian dress wasn't "fluffy" enough, so she went dressed to the nines. This morning she told me that it was "the best time [she] ever had!" Adam (and I) wore our [matching] garb from Hilo Hattie. I'm glad that that one impulsive purchase in Hawaii 10 years ago has been worth it. Apparently, there was a scramble around here for aloha and the re-sale shops were stripped clean. The dads were all so sweet & funny last night. They were far more concerned about matching their leis to their outfits than their daughters were.

While it was so awesome for Kylinn & Adam to have that special time together, the event was put on by the PTO and I co-chaired, so it was fun to peek in on them every once in a while.

A Scottish St Pats!

Kylinn had her first performance at a senior citizens center with her dance studio.

Tegan, on the other hand, put on his own little show to torment his sister.

this is the famous dead sea tupperware...

Kylinn's dance studio (Michigan Highland Dance Academy) is having a Tupperware fundraiser through March 13th. The money raised will go toward the USIR 2010 National Competition. This year, it is hosted by all of the Mid-West studios in Traverse City.

No pressure to buy anything, but I'm just putting the info out there. If you were considering buying any Tupperware (they have awesome kid snack & lunch sets!) and don't have a consultant, please order through this link to be a part of their fundraiser.

I have to admit, though, I LOVE these FridgeSmart containers. Adam and I are just amazed with how well they keep produce (particularly mixed green salads!) They have significantly cut down on spoiled food since we've had them.

THANKS!
