"You want to be in the what?" . . .

A few months ago the school sent how a paper to all the kids to fill out and send back if they want to be in the school talent show. "Mom, they said we can dance, sing, play an instrument, say a poem, tell jokes for the talent show. I really don't want to tell jokes so how about I just dance!!" Sounds great to me, only problem is this mama can't dance. I have no idea how to even make up a dance routine. So weeks went by and every other day or so she would remind me that the talent show paper needs to be turned in by Friday. Friday came, she turned her paper in and now I am freaking out a little cause still, I had no idea what she was going to do. My mom suggested maybe her and Miles {my nephew that goes there too} do a swing dance together. So I called my sister and told her the idea and told her to get Miles excited about it. We were at family dinner one night and she had the kids listen to so music to pick the song that they liked best. They picked Rockin Robin. Now we had a song, but no moves. {My mom is the VP over at Burke where Emily goes.} She works with a lady that use to teach dance at a dance studio, so she asked her if she could help us out. She made a little dance up for them. They practiced maybe 6-7 times and then they were ready. My mom is the best!! She made Emily a poodle skirt and everything. Not only were they the best performance they were so cute to watch.

Way to go Emily and Miles!!!!
