So You Think You Can Dance and My Pump Class
You "So You Think You Can Dance" fans can appreciate this posting. As most of you know, I teach fitness classes at a few local gyms. After one of my pump classes on a Monday, I kept looking at a girl that appeared new to my class but seemed familiar (she was wearing a black baseball cap so it wasn't easy to identify her). Anyway, I decided to go up to her and who seemed like her mother. As I got closer, I recognized her and said, Oh my goodness, are you Randy?" She nodded. We chatted a little bit. She was so sweet. It was fun having her.

Girls vs Boys
Matt tries to give the kids "Daddy" dates, but this time we decided to have a girls night out and a boys night out. I took Ella out and Matt took Aidan out. It makes me laugh to see the huge differences in our genders and how much we love doing what we do as girls/women and boys/men.
So, Ella wanted to see Princess and the Frog, well she really wanted to go ice skating, however, I was afraid of slipping on the ice and OUCH that would not be good with my back situation. So, we got treats, went to the movies (gotta love the $1 or should I say $2 theatre now) and basically had a good time. But the fun was just beginning for us as we were going home to play Barbies next. One of the girls was getting married and all the other girls were busy preparing for the wedding! It was actually quite fun - memories! We then got into our jammies, laid in Ella's bed and just talked and laughed. I shared stories of my childhood with her and she just listened, laughed and asked questions. It was truly a bonding moment for us girls.
The boys you ask? Monster Truck Jam! Aidan was truly in heaven and did not stop talking abou this for days. Unfortunately, we only have one photo of him because Matt couldn't get him to turn around from the trucks to pose. See, he's not happy to turn around for this photo.
Personally, I enjoyed my date much better but if I was to take Aidan, I know I would have lived it through his eyes and enjoyed the noise, dirt, and mammoth trucks.
Vrooom!
You know, they're actually pretty amazing . . . I love our differences.
