Ellie has a little dramatic streak in her that keeps her laughing, clapping, singing, and chatting through life. I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised when attending our school's night at Chuck E Cheese, that she shunned all of the rides and games and hung out here at the little dancing floor having a wonderful time dancing and making new friends!
And in a related conversation with Spencer:
Spencer: "Mom! We're starting a break dancing unit in PE class!"
Me: "That sounds....mmmmm....interesting."
Spencer: "And we get to dance with girls."
Me: "Wow! How does that work? Break dancing with partners?", as I sit envisioning two twelve year olds trying to synchronize their "Worms" and back spins.
Spencer: "Did I mention we get to dance with girls and the girl I like is in my class?"
Me: "Gym class sure is interesting in middle school. When I was in school we got to square dance to fiddle music."
Spencer: "Square dance?! Oh yeah! That's what it's called. We're square dancing, not break dancing."
Me: suppressing laughter..."Slight difference there."
Spencer (unfazed): "And the boys and girls get to take turns picking their partners each time. I'm going to pick *******"
Me: "hmmmm...Maybe break dancing doesn't sound so bad after all."

I can just picture your face as you think about them learning to break dance...with partners.
I LOVE it!
Kids crack me up.
He's pretty bold to admit his crush to you.
My kids will tell me, but it is a HUGE secret. They don't even want their Dad to know.
BTW, I am using Photoshop Elements 2 and I really like it. I know there are probably more powerful programs out there, but everything I have wanted to do so far, I can.
I'd love to see some of your layouts. Have you posted them before?
I love Ellie's dancing, but I especially love Spence's story! I laughed so hard!
Inquiring minds want to know, exactly who is *********!
Cute dancing Ellie Belly!!
Love, Grandpa-Grandma
We are dying of laughter! Break dancing with partners was funny in and of itself, but then the break dancing/square dancing confusion? Too funny!
