Ryleigh graduated from St. Paul Lutheran Preschool. She got to wear a cap and gown and everything.
The girls had their end-of-year dance recital at the Pipestone Performing Arts Center. This was a favorite of the littlest girls ... they got to scream at the top of their lungs during the song "Do the Harry".
Tricia had her final Spring Concert of her Hill Elementary years. The concert consisted 99% of recorder music. The kids played songs to earn belts similar to karate belts. Tricia passed all of the songs and earned her black belt.
Tricia's dance group competed in a dance competition in Monticello again this year. Her group earned a "High Gold" and did just an awesome job!
Summer fun on the Barbie Jeep! Ryleigh is driving a bit better this year, but still tends to end up in the grass and stuck. Sometimes she can talk her big sister into driving for her.
Tricia's teacher for the year, Mrs. Nancy Siebenahler. She was an awesome teacher and Tricia definitely shed many tears on the last day of school. She moves on to 5th grade and the middle school in the fall.
The biggest part of May and June were consumed by the Calumet Players' production of Annie. Tricia was an orphan in the musical and sang and danced her way into the hearts of 10 sold out shows over two weeks. The cast consisted of over 50 people, 21 of them playing orphans. Tricia's orphan name was Betty, but she liked to call herself Betty Boop.
I am now working at Summer Time Fun, a summer program through the City of Pipestone. We have 40 kids signed up and on a typical day have anywhere from 25-35 kids that we entertain from 7:30-5:30 each day. This is one of the fun projects we did for Father's Day. The kids each had to bring in a stinky old shoe and we planted flowers in them. They had a blast picking out the flowers and helping to plant them.
So that is what we have been up to here at the Nissen household. Hopefully I'll be better about updating in the future!
