No Turkey For Perky

One of the perks of having school age children is performances. I have been to several. I love them. I love watching the joy on their faces as they give it everything they've got. Today was Emily's 4th grade Thanksgiving production. She was up and rarin' to go. She was "bread dough" so she needed to wear a beige shirt. Happily we had one. I sent her off to school assuring her I would be there watch the much anticipated performance. Hey, she had two dances. I had to be there right!?

I double checked the flyer for the date and time. Yes, it was for the 2nd at 1:45. Now this to me was odd. Every Monday is early out for elementary and middle school kids. They get out within 5 minutes of each other. Well lucky for me that the big girls stay after school for tutoring. Nice. I invited my mom to come along. She happily accepted. The flyer advised bringing chairs since it would be at the flag salute area. We headed over to the school --all of 50 seconds away--and began to set up. Hey we get a good spot in the shade. And then from behind me I hear, "Mom the show is over!" It was Emily. Apparently I had read the flyer wrong. It actually says: Show time: 1-1:45PM.
Man! Was I ever bummed! Well Emily promised a solo performance as a consolation prize.

Once we got home we held her to word....
The stage is set....
But then she gets shy. Please Emily....
No, I don't want to. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassseeee!!!
I don't want to. Okay...Ryan will entertain us...
Some serious jumping...
and some fancy footwork.

I may have missed out on this performance but I still got a show or two. Cameras and kids make a good combination.

Well this way you don't have to try to get a tiny shot of her amidst a ton of other kids over other people's heads! And the blushing is too cute.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
