Brittany's 5th Grade Program

Tonight was Brittany's 5th grade program at her school, and as part of it, she got to be Sacagawea, and also a 50's dancer.  I was so excited, because when she told me about the dance they were learning at school, I told her that if she got to wear a poodle skirt, that I wanted to make it (I just got a new sewing machine for Christmas).  She said to me - 'a what skirt?'.  Needless to say, now she knows what a poodle skirt is.  And then, she proceeded to draw up a 'sketch' of what exactly she wanted her poodle skirt to look like.  (I'm glad SHE had that much faith in my sewing abilities, because I was a little concerned.......  But it turned out great!

As Sacagawea, she's on the far left.

 

Wearing her poodle skirt

After the skirt was finished.  She said that it didn't have as many zigzags as she had on her 'sketch'; but she supposed it would work. :)

so apparently her floor routine won't load.  I'll have to try it again tomorrow.

Brittany's State Gymnastics Meet

So, this past weekend, Brittany had her state gymnastics meet - and now, no more competition til December!  Yay!  Brittany's had a rough year with competition this year, due to her knees.  She was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter Disease , .  Basically, that's when the patella tendon pulls away from the tibia bone.  She finished well though, and now she gets some time off to heal up.  I've included her bars, beam, and floor routine.  Her Vault wasn't all that great, so I'm not putting it on here.

I am soo proud of Brittany - she is awesome!
