Wow - we have been boring family and friends for seven years and two hundred posts! Good thing this is a fun one...
Grant's cranky. TJ has Tae Kwon Do practice. Grandma needs some help at her house. The lawn needs mowing. There are so many things on top of work that often get in the way of having fun. We plop the kids in front of the TV to fill the spaces between one event and the next. We often miss out on simple fun. And then there's Dance Party USA...
Dance Party USA is any time we move the furniture, let our inhibitions down a little bit, turn up the music and be silly. Lisa has a mix of music that includes Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, LMFAO...camp friendly music with lots of energy. Most of the time it's just the family but every once in a while we let our friends in on the action.
The kids have no rhythm or coordination, but then neither do the adults. It's frenetic fun for fifteen or twenty minutes.
The other night we invited our new friends Joe and Brittany over with their three girls; Annabelle, Molly, and Emma. The girls are absolutely lovely and super adorable and the five kids get along wonderfully. Even though we are just getting to know them they seem like a nice family. We told them we would do a movie and at the last minute told them to come over prepared to dance!
The girls showed up in dresses. TJ - in his sweat pants and NC State shirt - took one look at the girls quickly charged up stairs to get changed. I can't tell if he's smitten with one of them or all of them but I can tell you he came down in nice shorts and dress shirt. If there was aftershave available to him I am sure he would have been stinking from it.
Dance Party USA took off at a fever pitch and the girls instantly "got it". Kids and parents all getting onto the dance floor. Dads with sons, moms with daughters, kids trying to dance with each other and failing wonderfully. Beautifully.
