Dancing Makes it Better

First day of kindergarten for my boys today. Oscar's dancing perfectly describes my feeling on the situation.

I've never longed for the days when my kids were babies. I'm not really a baby person. I gladly threw out their bottles, pinkies, and cribs. Same thing went for the toddler stage--good bye sippy cups, high chairs, and strollers. Recently I started telling them to stop growing so fast because it's what my mom told me and it's what I hear people say to their kids. I've told my kids a million times to stop eating their veggies because they grew too tall over night.

But the truth is, I can't wait for them to grow up! Each stage bring more independence, more self awareness, and way less tears and tantrums. I'm looking forward to my boys turning 5 years old next month. I can't wait to see what this year brings us. If it's more dancing like this, I think it's going to be a good one. Maybe even a year I'll long for!

Break dancing with the bride

Love love love Ella's dress. Found it on the sale rack at Zara for $12.99!

lots of things for the kids to do at the reception like pounding out notes on a type writer.

Other things like croquet and a photo booth. Ella's running to tell Oscar the good news about the photo booth.

And a very dignified game of bean bag toss. For serious gentlemen and ladies only.
It was such a fun reception for kids and adults!
