First day at DANCE CLASS

We decided to put Paige in a dance class. Since her brother goes to Karate a few times a week, I felt it was important to give Paige her own little niche. As an added bonus, she gets to go with her cousin Alyssa.

Today was her first day. Of course some of the fun is getting to dress up in all the fun, cute girly dance outfits. We put on her tights, leotard, ballet shoes and leg warmers. Of course, by the end of class those leg warmers ended up being more like knee pads, which was not the look I was going for. She enjoyed herself and did better then I thought she would.

Here is a clip of her "dancing"... ok, it is more like shaking to the music.

Any Ideas...

It seems that life has gotten alot busier now that there are three. I seem to have fifty things each day that I have to remember to do or places to take the kids. I need a new way to organize everything... any ideas.

I was thinking about getting me a PDA phone. Something that can help me keep track of appointments and classes. I have been known to pick up my little boy late from school because I have forgotten "early out day."

So, does anyone have a good phone or PDA that can do these kinds of things?

Yes... I am back

I have been gone from blogging for a while... I do not know why...

Ok, actually I have Facebook to blame!

I was never into it much, but recently I had an old friend from 15 years ago find me. She was a friend I went to High School with from when we lived in Malaysia. From her, I was able to find and reconnect with over 20 other friends of mine from that time in my life.

I am constantly reminded of how wonderful technology is. What a blessing it can be in our lives. Who would have thought that I would be able to find a reconnect with so many loved ones from my past.

It has also been very interesting to see where they have all ended up. Many times throughout the years I have thought about those people and wondered what ever came of them...now I know. Now these were friends of mine were from all over the world. They, like me, had moved to Malaysia because of their father's work. Many of them worked for the governments or oil companies. We all went to the International School which was based in Kuala Lumpur. Many of them were American, but I was had many friends from several different countries as well. That was a wonderful time in my life. I learned so much about other cultures and countries. It taught me tolerance and understanding of those that are different from me. I learned to love those people.

Now, I have made contact with many of these same people. It is interesting to me to see how different our lives are now. I am not only the only one who has three children... I am the only one WITH children!! I am the only stay-at-home mom. Others are in high level careers. One is an arctitect for the government in Washington D.C., another is living in France, one is working in the international travels with Marriott, another is in the High Level of the Army and is pictures with the President, one is in Switzerland... and I could go on.

At first the thought made me a little depressed. Everyone is doing something so much more with their life. But then I realized what they are missing out on. I would not trade my busy, snotty nose wiping, bum changing life for anything. It may not be glorious, but it is mine and I enjoy it.

Gotta Love the Bumbo

My sweet sister-in-law let me borrow her bumbo chair. I had always wanted to try one out with Kallie. She loves to sit up and look out at what is going on around her so this worked out perfect... she loves the chair!! Thanks Brooke!!

I could sleep like this

This is what I found when I went to check on Kallie. Poor girl... who knows how long she has been like this. The more I thought about it though, the more I realized that sleeping like this could not be that bad. It would let in just the right amount of light and with it covering the ears would help block some of the unwanted sound.
