I went head to head with fear today...and I won (kind of)

Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain (Mark Twain). 

I took a Zumba class today for the first time.  Super fun!  Since I have zero rhythm I have avoided taking one up until now even though I've heard great things about it.  Unbeknownst to me, it was a Zumba/Belly dancing class and we all got to wear little belly dancing hip scarves.  I'm pretty sure that means I checked two fears off my list today (check check).  I had a hard time getting my arms and legs to sync up and I was always a beat behind.  But, I was afraid, and did it anyway.  Woo hoo for me!

(I probably shouldn't reveal this....also unbeknownst to me....it was an AOA class.  You know, Active Older Adults.  Sadly, it was just my speed and I got a good 1 hour workout.)

Me and that room full of blue hairs got our groove on today!
Exactly like the one I wore, except mine was lime green.  Say it....your jealous.

Little Girl (only 6)

I am shocked and a bit heartbroken. Kennedy came home from school telling me that most of the kids in her class don't believe in the tooth fairy. What??? At age 6?? She said they had a conversation about how they thought it was just their moms and dads putting money under their pillow. Ridiculous! My little first grader, who has yet to lose a tooth, is questioning the authenticity of the tooth fairy. Actually, she came home very sure that these kids were wrong. She said that there absolutely WAS a tooth fairy you could only see her if you were another magical person (i.e., Elf, Easter Bunny, Santa, etc.). Whew!

Plus One

Charlie came for a long visit and the kids were thrilled to have him here.  There were park visits and soccer games and lots of cousin play at home.  Charlie even learned a little sign language.
 Kennedy has her first loose tooth!

Easton needed his yoda hat so that he could use the force on Charlie.
