Dance Party

Since our friends the Blue's have such cool dance parties at their house, it was high time we joined the cool crowd before my kids ran away and found a cooler family to live with.

We put up the disco ball, plugged in the strobe light, (which I promptly unplugged after my head exploded) cranked up some Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus and went to town. It was actually really fun until the kids got so amped up that it was all about kicking and tripping and slapping. Why do kids do that? They just can't control the excitement. Indy even managed to lose another tooth amidst all the fun!

We had snacks and soda and then were in bed by 8. It was a good night.

The week prior we went to the elementary school's Dance of the Decades and Rob and I danced while the kids hid in shame. And so it begins. Mwa ha ha.

Here are the kids standing around...because that is what you do at school dances. You can't be seen dancing in front of your friends. That would ruin your image.

Tatum was having so much fun that she gave up and slept right on through the pounding noise.

And then there were family pictures. I might look like a Diva but actually I was working out a pose in my head when she snapped the picture. What? "You were supposed to count to three!!! I wasn't ready!!"

And I paid $10 for all this humiliation!
