another performance...

last night, preK through 1st grade put on a PE performance called "Shaping Up"....i love that the girls were in this one 2gether! :0)

we didn't have great seats 4 pics/vids, but i did my best (but ugh - again with the quality after i upload em 2 youtube - what's up with that?! maybe it's the settings on my camera?)

the kiddos were 2 wear white shirts, jeans & bandannas....most of the kiddos put their bandannas round their necks, but of course my girls had 2 b different & wear em on their heads....or maybe they were just giving a shout out 2 their bald mama ;0)

Corinn's preK class performed a song called "Shapes"



& Gabby's kindergarten class performed "Lettercise"



they both did awesome! i especially loved the bows at the end! ;0)


ps on the lice front - well, we treated Corinn twice yesterday – Curtis did it first thing in the morning & then i did it again last night after the program (i know, probably not necessary, but we’re paranoid!)....i also treated Gabby & Jaden, just to be safe (the nurse confirmed they were all clear though)....then we both spent hours sitting & searching through that girl’s thick, thick, thick & curly hair – removing the nits (even tho the treatment is supposed 2 kill the lice & their eggs/nits, she has 2 b nit free 2 return 2 school - just in case there's some that didn't die)....she’s mostly clear, but i was still finding one here & there this morning, so we kept her home today....plus we thought it might be good to let the class “air out” over today & spring break next week....on top of everything Curtis did yesterday, i was busy washing load after load of laundry (like everything in our house that can b washed) & spraying down the entire house with this cool killer spray that the treatment kits come with, until almost midnight last night....all the while, praying that these lil buggers do NOT come back! we have 2 treat Corinn again in a week (just 2 make sure, says the nurse) & at $20 a pop, i hope the 3 kits we bought yesterday r all we ever have 2 buy! the lady at rite aid (less than a mile from the school) says they've been flying off the shelves lately & i heard others were found 2 b infected by the school nurse yesterday....i sectioned off Corinn's hair this morning in2 lil pony tails b4 i left 4 work, so that Curtis can sit & go thru it again, inch by inch, for any remaining nits - then i'll repeat the process once more 2nite 2 ensure we've gotten every last one of them! ahhhh, i never want 2 live thru this nightmare again!!!

Yep, curly, thick hair is the worst. If you've seen my daughter, that is exactly the hair she has too! I spent HOURS combing out those little things...ugh.

Been there done that and it's no fun! I feel your pain, at least the girls have dark hair. When Autumn got them in 2nd grade her hair was so blonde they were hard to find. Good Luck!

so cute!! I just love going to shows. It seems like your school does a lot. Wesley's pretty much does a holiday show and that's it. boo!

Glad the lice is gone...hopefully! Keep checking them because you never know if you missed an egg:( As a preschool teacher I am VERY schooled in lice handling, lol. I had parents hire me to come over and pick their kids hair. hahaha! As a poor college student I did all I could for extra dough. I just wore a scary and a grocery bag on my head, lol!

About the videos. My camera did the same thing, but then I found that my video settings were set at a low resolution. I set it higher and now they are perfect. They take up more space on the card, but the video if clear as can be.

wendy, yeah i'm loving all the fun programs they do! i'm just always rushing from work, 2 get them fed & there on time, then we get home late - so it does ruin the nite of homework, normal bedtime, etc...wish they would do them all on friday nites ;0)

& yes, i'm corinn's enemy these days - i'm constantly checking her over & she's so annoyed!

as 4 the camera, i have it on the highest setting now? 640x480hq is the setting - remember, i don't have a sweet camera like u ;0) the only other setting is 320x240...oh well - at least they look good on my pc & when i save em on a disc - u know, 4 when i'm old & want 2 watch em ;0)
