Random Dancing!

Have you seen the Nick show iCarly? It's a silly show (although I have to admit I find it hilarious) about a girl named Carly who runs a web show with her 2 best friends. They have this segment on their show called "Random Dancing" where crazy music plays and everyone has to, obviously, dance.

Yesterday at work I decided to try it :) It was sooo cute! My kids love to dance, we do it alot, but yesterday was even better. I have made multiple CDs of kid friendly, yet popular and upbeat songs to use, but yesterday our boom box busted.

So I jumped on the computer in my classroom and used the projector speakers instead. I was looking for music online, but I had to avoid district firewalls so I ended up on this obscure but awesome website called televisiontunes.com. If you are looking for any TV theme song (and I mean ANY, recent or past) they will have it! It was a blast :)

Looks like we will be doing a lot more Random Dancing in the future :)

Unexpected

Six months ago, if you were to suggest that my life would be as it is now, I would have laughed and said definitely not.

Little did I know what was in store for me.

Things I never would have expected 6 months ago:

- moving out of my parents house

- living with great roommates

- meeting Austin :) and completely changing my relationship situation

- finding out that our house was foreclosing, quite a shock to us as tenants

- my hard drive crashing

- trying to live on as small a budget as possible

- helping Austin plan out school, now that he's chosen to become a pilot :)

- talking about and starting to plan a wedding at the end of the summer :)

Life has been crazy and nothing like I expected. But fortunately, I don't know everything about my life and I have been led to a completely different place. And I am so grateful!

Going Bananas!

Goodness it's March already. Life has been so crazy, and my blogging time has not been keeping up!

So here's a quick update:

Feb. 20 was Austin's birthday! :) in the middle of the night, my roommate Tarina and I went and decorated his car. We were really tired and like dead quiet, but a neighbor still noticed and came out to make sure we weren't stealing anything. Austin and I spent the day at church basketball and at home with his family.

Feb. 21 was Quinton's Eagle Court of Honor! He is a pretty amazing kid. Kyle got his eagle at 14, which was impressive. Logan beat him and got his at 13 :) so Q decided he needed to top them both and successfully finished all the requirements to become an eagle scout at age 12. That's about the fastest you can go. But that is Quinton. Always filled with energy and ready for a challenge, dressed perpetually with style, of course.

Feb. 25 was a scary day. Kyle and Logan were in a bad accident on their way to school. Both are doing alright now. Kyle was in the hospital for that morning, and will have a long road of recovery, but he is safe. Logan, miraculously, was not hurt. By all counts, he should have been. Our family is so grateful for the Divine protection my brothers and the other 2 students in the car were given. We have been so blessed that the injuries sustained were not any worse.

So now that the past few crazy weekends are over, I am looking forward to a low key one. I think I'll spend it making banana bread out of the 50 bananas that are currently sitting on my counter. They were for snack at work on Wednesday, but my kiddos were in a very non-banana-friendly mood. We had tons leftover! Good thing I don't mind a lot of monkey business ;)
