Wanda and Ruben took us swing dancing (Sofi, Anthony, and me - NOT Tony, who claimed to be studying). The kids whined and complained about having to go, but I think they had a nice time. Anthony even asked a couple of ladies to dance.
Sofia just gave one guy a nervous look when he asked her. He said, "Come on. I danced with your Mom and your Grandma - you can dance with me too!" (I'm glad she did, because he was one of the more amazing and fun dancers!...but don't tell Tony...I'm claiming to have only danced with Anthony and my father-in-law. :) Plus, Sofia won the door prize - a big band cd! Fun night!
We also went to Bon Ton and got amazing 80% off boots (which you might get to see a picture of...since they came home with me), and I got some hand quilting lessons from my mother-in-law, who is super-well-qualified for giving them! Doesn't that seem like a lot for a day and a half? (Especially with church and eating thrown in!)
Lovely.
So, the gnomes.
James (5) has been watching "Gnomeo and Juliet" in a very obsessive way for weeks. I finally had to watch it myself, so that I'd have some idea what he was talking about. (Now I know where "A hat for a hat!" comes from.)
So...thinking of my cuddly little James, I bought a couple of little gnomes at Target. One with a blue hat, one with a red hat. I showed them to him, thinking he'd be all excited....
...nothing. Finally, he looks at me with a quizzical expression and says, "Elves?"
Seriously?
Do you think he was just messing with me?
Ahahahahaha! James cracks me up! The dancing sounds fun. Big band music always makes me want to get up and dance.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! You guys did all that in a day and a half? Were you hand quilting in church?
ReplyDeleteYeah, LOL, knowing your kids he probably was just playing with you. that's so funny.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the boots!
Swing dancing would be fun...even just watching it is fun I think.
