Time for a dance party!



It's been a busy week! There hasn't really been anything in particular, just seems like everything was scheduled for this week - dental appointments, seminars for work, open house at Grace's school, etc.

So, what do I do to relieve the stress?! Have a dance party in our living room! I ask the girls if they want to have a dance party and Grace usually says "yes!" and disappears for a few minutes only to come down from her room in a leotard and a fancy skirt that Aunt Erin bought her - it is a great "spinning skirt"! Bruno will sometimes join us but he has other ways of relieving his stress that don't involve dancing (I think it has something to do with bench pressing 500 lbs or something like that).

Then we turn on the TV and tune in to our XM radio (through Direct TV). We prefer the "20 on 20" station which plays the top 20 requested hits. And then we just let loose! It is so fun and even Abigail is getting into it - she loves to be spun around and bounced up and down. She is also starting to bob up and down if she is sitting or standing when the music is on. Nothing like her cousin Owen who was dancing the day he was born - not sure if he still likes to dance but he always loved to bop up and down when he was a baby!

Anyway - given the stress I am feeling over Grace starting kindergarten (that requires a whole other blog post next week) - I have a feeling we may have many dance parties this weekend!

Have a great weekend everyone and consider hosting your very own dance party!
