All she wants to do is dance, dance, dance.

Our Thursdays are crazy, and I am not the kind of person who thrives on crazy. In the morning, I have to get Ava ready for preschool and have her there by 9:30, then run home and usually finish getting ready so I can to volunteer at the school. After the girls get home from school, I get something ready for dinner to put in the oven then we gather our things and head off for dance. We all have a dance class, so our gathering includes four water bottles, four pairs of clogging shoes, a snack for Ava, something to entertain Ava in the car, a book for me, Corrine's things, and if it is time to go to the library, all our library books. And of course, four kids. We leave at 4:oo, the two older girls have dance at 4:30-5:30. Ava's dance doesn't start until 5:15, so we either go to the library, run an errand, or sit in the car until then. We leave dance at 5:45 when Ava is done, and we all run home. Also on this night Jason has scouts from 5-6. I feed Corrine, change my clothes, talk to Jason for a few minutes and get back in the car to go back to dance for my class, which is from 7-7:45. It doesn't help that the dance studio is clear across town over by Albertsons. I love dance, but this year is a bit much. For the past two years, just the older girls have taken dance, and that was enough. This year with all us girls in it I am wondering if I took on too much. I suppose when I have more sleep it won't be so bad. I am loving my class though, and it is good exercise. And Ava looks too cute dancing! So I guess even though its crazy on Thursdays, its worth it. You can look forward to future posts with pictures from performances and competitions!
