The first person who can tell me what it’s from and who said it will win………my respect!
Hahahahaahaha! No, seriously, that’s all you’ll get, which is why there is no point in googling it! I’d just like to see if I have any kindred spirits out there reading our blog!
Love you guys! But I’ll love you more if you win this contest!
We have a little family tradition that I started when Eleanor was just a tiny baby. Every Sunday morning (some Saturday mornings and an occasional evening or weekday morning by special request) we have a family dance party! The big event starts right after breakfast and we are, most often, still in our pajamas. Just a few of Eleanor’s favorite songs and dance moves get us ready to start our day!
Despite the fact that we have exposed Eleanor to a pretty wide range of musical genres, and although she seems to enjoy any and all music, she clearly has a preference for a catchy pop song that you can dance to. Her favorites at the moment are Lady Gaga’s Pokerface and Just Dance, Beyonce’s Single Ladies, and Rhianna’s Umbrella. Her all time favorite, that I’ve been playing for her since she was tiny, is the Jackson 5, especially Rockin’ Robin and ABC. Her dance moves, by the way, as you’ll see shortly are variations on jumping up and down, some sort of pony-like trot, and running in a circle. We need to get this girl in dance class.
Here she is at a specially requested afternoon dance party:
As we usually do, we kept Valentine’s Day pretty simple this year. We spent the morning redecorating Eleanor’s room. Then we went to get some lunch and some Menchie’s for dessert.
Then home for a nap for Eleanor.
And afterward we exchanged our gifts and cards.
Josh got me my favorite Calla Lillies.
We got Eleanor some fun Valentine’s socks. But, as it turns out they were adult size socks. So they were just a little big for Eleanor.
But they fit me perfectly. (That’s me in the stripes and Eleanor in the frogs). In my defense, don’t they look like kids socks? And Eleanor’s feet are almost the same size as mine. Anybody could have made the same mistake.
Eleanor wore the Valentine’s Day crown she made in school. This was just before she ripped it to pieces.
Josh found the perfect card for Eleanor! She loved it! That’s her hooting below!
For dinner we just had some leftover Chinese food. And after Eleanor went to bed Josh and I watched Away We Go. And that was it. A lovely Valentine’s Day!
