Let's Dance!

There was a school dance last night and all 3 kids got to go!  Since the kids wear uniforms to school, they were excited to come home and "get ready".  Preparing for the dance was so fitting with all of their personalities.  Tayvia picked out a cute new outfit and put on eyeshadow and lipstick (colored lip gloss).  Paxton put on a whole new outfit, brushed his hair, put on "man spray", and then asked me for a piece of gum to put in his pocket and said "you know mom, just in case"😂!  Kyser was playing Play Station so I asked him to go get ready as well, to which he replied "I am ready mom".  All he did was shove a donut in his mouth and we were out the door.  As I dropped the kids off I gave them teachers a big THANK YOU and told them it was the best babysitting service ever!  The kids were fully entertained, safe, and I had a full 2 hours to get my stuff done.  When I picked them up, they were filled with stories about all the stuff they did, who they danced with, the snacks they purchased, etc.  It made me so happy to hear them just being kids.  I think there are so many distractions for kids these days, so seeing them in a safe environment with friends, having fun, and moving their bodies,  is such a refreshing sight as a mom.  To all of the teachers who make school dances happen, thank you!  To my kids, always remember to take time to dance!

This was my crew after 2 straight hours of dancing (and getting face painting)!!!
