In case this is your first week, here's what it's all about.  Generally Mondays are considered pretty sucky right?  Well, let's change that.  Instead of focusing on what sucks about Monday, we'll talk about what made us smile throughout the rest of the week, to start the week on a positive note!

My five little grins from this week include. . .

1. Starting a dance intensive in Madison.  It's going pretty well so far.

2. Getting to stay with a host family in Madison.  They're all really nice.

3. Going to see The Fault in Our Stars for a second time on Tuesday.  I didn't cry this time, not that I really cried much the first time (I bawled when I read the book 2 years ago though).  The other audience members were hilarious though.  This one guy kept making totally unnecessary comments, but it was more funny than annoying so I didn't mind. 

4. Having family friends come over on Friday.  It was nice to see them!

5. Taking the dinghy to Oconto on Friday.  It was a lot of fun, but a little chilly and I got a horrible sunburn.

What has been making you smile lately?

Just a quick note, we're making some changes to the look of our blog, so there may be some strange-ness going on in the next few weeks.  It will be resolved soon, though.  Please let me know if there is a problem that persists.

1. X coming out

2. X coming out

3. X coming out

4. X coming out

5. X coming out

Wait. . . are those supposed to be all different?

2. Well, I enjoyed shopping on Tuesday, the day definitely looked up once we go the the tire changed!

3. On that note, changing/ learning to change a tire was fun.  It's definitely something I'll need to know when I'm driving on my own so nice to know now.

4. Going to Kenosha/ Waukegan Friday!  It was so nice to see everyone!

5. Seeing the Cougars Saturday!

Hey guys!  I want to apologize for posting so late today.  I've been on the boat out on the water for about 10 hours today!  We got to port safely without any crazy challenges so I would say it was a success.

My five little grins from this week include. . .

1. Getting my pointe shoes.  It was quite the adventure to actually get them, more on that later.

2. Doing a Glow Run Saturday!  It was soo much fun.  I also learned neon yellow is not my color.

3. Finding out the Cards Against Humanity is willing to resend our order since the post office got rid of the last one.

4. Going to the farmers' market again on Saturday.  We got a pint of strawberries and they were the smallest strawberries I've ever seen.

2. Ordering the actual set of Card Against Humanity!  The paper ones are okay, but they wind up stuck together a lot, and we ordered a bunch of expansion packs.

3. Going to a super cute farmers' market Saturday!  I even bought macaroons which were literally amazing.

4. Taking both the tortoise and the parrot for a walk Saturday and this morning.

5. Getting to talk to the girl I will be staying with in Madison for the dance intensive!

My five little grins from this week include. . .

1. Getting Katie Wednesday night and most of Thursday.  She had the day off so hung out up by me!  Was nice to spend a while with her before we had to leave for the summer.

2. Seeing the Fault in Our Stars on Friday with Katie.  I was pretty pleased with the film adaption and felt everything that was left out was fine and helped to move the plot along.  I of course haven't read it for 2 years, though.  I'm far more excited for the film adaption of Paper Towns though.  Especially with Nat Wolf playing Quentin

3. Ending the school year with at least 90% in all my classes.  It was a rough week of finals, but I'm super glad that I'm finished.

4. Seeing everyone on Saturday for our going away party!  We normally see them all summer long so it was definitely sad to have to say good bye.

5. Getting to port safely without any major trouble.  I'm definitely not a fan of boat trips longer than 2 hours, but I made it.

My 5 Little Grins from this week include. . .

1. Making nearly one hundred cupcakes Friday morning in between finals prep, for dress rehearsal that night.  Being there six hours, others enjoyed having a fun snack, other than just dinner.

2. Getting to help with tech rehearsal for the younger kids on Saturday.  It was just the kids in ballet 3 & 4 (my show is 5-8) so they weren't that much younger, but it was cool to watch their dances.

3. Recital Saturday night.  It went very well all things considered.  There were things I messed up on, but overall I'm super happy with how it went.

4. It was great to see family and friends after the show.  Some haven't been to recital in years so it was cool that they did go.

5. Helping with the last show of the weekend Sunday evening.  I was runner, so I lined the kids up and got them to the correct side of the stage.  I also got to see a friend do her solo, which she'll be performing at a scholarship competition in October.  It already looks amazing so I can't wait to see how it will look by then.

My 5 Little Grins from this week include. . .

1. I got all my costumes for recital, throughout classes this week.  Some are really great and others are interesting, but nothing is too bad!  Better than last year.

2. I finished my literary analysis essay and turned it in.  I didn't mind this assignment, with the exception of writing a conclusion.  I always hate doing them, this time I procrastinated a lot and even wrote a poem about what I accomplished while procrastinating, while procrastinating.  It's a problem.

3. I made cookies Thursday night!  They turned out well.  I was worried because the dough tasted super salty, but they were fine cooked.

4. I tried out the blue that came in the Julep box I got, and it was far better than the purple.  (Swatches to come!!)

5. I mailed some things on Friday.  Both are WAYYY late and I feel really bad, but now that we are out at the boat more, it is far easier to get to the Post Office!

My 5 Little Grins from this week include. . .

1. Putting the boat in on Friday!  Docking was rough, but there were some pretty strong gusts and the first of the season tends to be that way anyways.

2. Saturday we put the old dinghy in that water and drove it back to the marina from the launch ramp.  Strangely, it was much windier out on the water than anticipated, so we could go very fast.

3. We brought the parrot out to the boat for Saturday and that night.  She absolutely love the car ride there and enjoyed being back out at the boat again.   Even if just for a little while.

4. Throughout the week, all my recital dances were finished in all my classes.  Since we only have this week and next week, it is quite nice to have them done.  Plus we get costumes this week which is great!

5. Finally playing Cards Against Humanity.  They're just the ones you print from online, so it was kind of hard to deal with cards, but you get used to it I guess!  We may just buy the real version, though.
