It’s been a loooooooong day.
It was the Twindaoes first ballet concert rehearsal today – the first of many before the big event in early December. They had their first try on of costumes and and first go at dancing in front of an audience (all the mums and other older girls). They did pretty well all things considered – though my two lost it at the end of once dance with the ‘bigger fairies come to chase the little fairies away’… no one told them scary 14 year old girls would come and chase them and they were NOT HAPPY with the idea one bit. Hopefully we’ll find a way to deal with that little detail before the big day.
So this was a long day at the end of a long week. I actually took heaps of photos this week, pretty much all 200 of them at the park on Wednesday desperately trying to get some decent shots for the girl’s birthday invitations. The light was terrible, the shadows really harsh and it was cold and windy… so it was slim pickin’s for decent photos… but none the less – here are my Weekly Winners, thanks to Sarcastic Mom

Right up the top!
Chatting to her sister via the ‘talking pipe’
Swinging
The girls have starred in all the photos this week because this was the only decent shot I got of Muski!
Any and all relatives who are vying for much coveted tickets to the above mentioned ballet concert and don’t wish to have any of the surprise ruined… look away now….
It was almost impossible to get a decent shot at the rehearsal hall today, so this is all I have. This is just the costume basics… I am told there is ‘accessories’ for this one and they have a second costume too that involved a hat and tail!! I promise you they enjoy themselves a lot more than they look in this photo!

Oh Kate!
They look beautiful in their costumes. Like real ballerinas and I had a good belly laugh at your best shot of Muski man. Too funny
It looks like the girls had a fun week, and I just love the two ballerina’s, they’re so pretty!
I am with Tiff I love the shot of muski man’s arm…
I think your twinadoes are lovely in their ballet costumes.
My favourite one is “Talking to her sister”
cheers Kim :)
I absolutely LOVE the ones at the park! WONDERFUL!
These are beautiful!
Oh Kate, the girls look absolutely gorgeous in their ballet gear. And I never would have thought it before, but I’m now hoping at least one of my girls will want to do ballet! (the boy can too if he chooses, but doubt he’ll look as pretty in tulle ;))
oh what lovely pictures of your girls.
fun shots!!
I think they came out great. I really like the one in their costumes…they colors came out so vibrant. Great shots.
Great pictures, I love the third one… hilarious! She’s a cutie, for sure.
Beautiful ballerinas. My favorite shot was the talking pipe. I love her expression.
The talking pipe and the swing are both totally adorable!
Great photos! The swing shot is my favorite.

I ♥ the talking thru the pipe one & the last one is adorable~they look cute in their costumes.
You did good. The park shots turned out sweet. It is always so hard to get exactly what you want with a deadline.
