And just like they rehearsed.... line up kids, and back to your seats.

The tablecloths dance!
There was a picture that I didn't post from way down below. There was a woman that walked through 30 kids and asked them to practice the straight arm. Guess which child never got it right.... the bouffant blond...
check this out...
I absolutely love the MAYQueen from last year sitting in the big chair... watching the drummers.
The people of mayday
For whatever reason the camera wouldn't cooperate, but this lady ended up giving this girl a huge hug. It was all too sweet... and the camera missed, but it is forever in my mind.
11 year old piper.
Just to be sure...
they practiced again.
this wasn't a form of punishment... but have a look at the girl on the left. She showed up with spongy curlers jammed in her head.
Another twirl, just to get it right.
run throughs...
More checking things twice
Adults in their stations.
Another run through... just to be safe
Learning the waves....
and in some cases, listening to directions... except for the PIP, she would rather listen to the boy who had clearly better things to say....
meetings
Meeting people in dark places.....
Learning how to cross and uncross your hands continously
Standing in lines with all sorts of wierd kids!
The making of a princess
the endless photo shoots... the waiting...
The close ups....
The non princess like work involved....

May Today.
Although I could be mistaken. It could be March. Might be April, but definitely not May.
I saw another bear on Wednesday. That was exciting! It's a good thing I travel with binoculars. The camera would have only captured a little black dot on it's lense. I can't post those!
Today is the day that the princesses do their dance at the cities Rec. Centre. It should be cute. They have worked for 10 weeks (or there abouts) perfecting their score. The smaller girls (flower girls) are extremely cuter! I think the PIP has spent more time talking to her new found friends, as I watched her in action yesterday. I think they are all the same mind you.
I will have to fish out her Tablecloth dress and give it an IRONMANS ironing today. That should be fun! I will probably regret this as well, but I am taking her to get her hair done. I am hoping that the salon with have industrial strength curling irons & hairspray at the ready! I could do it here, but I just do not want the trauma of failure if it doesn't turn out to what I would like to see. That happened last month~!!
Yesterday I was at the rec centre taking TEN MILLION CANDIDS of the girl in action. I want this to be part of her scrapbook. The problem with this space is the fact that the camera does not like the lighting. It's flourescent lighting, but you can not put it on flourescent lighting, and the floors are dark, so the lighting gets mixed up. I will be going back today to take more pictures. YES people, I am a moron.. .but whatever... the GIRL will be happy that I documented her event ONE DAY. AND the fact that I didn't just settle for some crumby pictures that almost turned out... because those are not fun to look at. Oh while I am thinking.. I need to charge my batteries!
