I did get to see the DWTS Finale of Season 12 last night. I still didn't see Tuesday's show, but that's okay. It was good to see the stars and the surprises they had for them. I loved that Josh Grobin came in to sing for Petra and Dimytri. I loved seeing the Go-Gos and I actually was intrigued by the Black Eyed Peas performance. They seem to be cutting edge of all things futuristic.
To me, I wanted Hines to win, but would have been happy with any of them. This was not the case with my mother. She text me at the end that she was not happy...several times. She thinks, and I agree with her, that Chelsea can dance better than Kirstie. But, Kirstie has a fan base that watches this show religiously. The younger crowd doesn't watch it. But all in all, it was a good season.
My favorite dance this season was Mark and Chelsea's dance to Panic At the Disco's I Write Sins Not Tragedies. She was a doll and he was a ringmaster, maybe? It was what I think of when I think of dance my kids learn at their local studio. Which leads me to my next item...So You Think You Can Dance! starts tomorrow on FOX. We love, love, love this, my daughter and I. We are happy that it is starting up, since all her other shows are on summer hiatus. So I will start posting about this show once all the silly trials and Vegas week is over, unless something spectacular comes up. So stay tuned!

Weekend Update - SYTYCD
We had such a great weekend! My poor daughter is exhausted and we are trying to nurse her throat back to health, but everyone else is doing well. Son is back to his almost normal self. He text me Friday around 2:30 pm and stated that he had not had any pain meds all day and he wanted to go watch the football game. So we went. He sat with me almost the whole time, and we watched the Hornets just run over the other team. The band invited the 6th graders to play pregrame with them. It almost doubled the band!
Saturday, we did some running around, cleaned and Daughter went with the band to Springfield for a band festival. They didn't get home until just before 1. Then she got up and went to church. I didn't let Son go, because I was worried he might get overly tired, and he wasn't going to play or dress anyway. So we stayed home. I dozed until Daughter go home.
Sunday we had church, then I sent Daughter to bed for an hour or so. Then me and four kids went to Columbus for the So You Think You Can Dance Tour 2010. It was amazing! I saw my favorite dancers and dances. We had so much fun.
It was a late night, but totally worth it. Now things should calm down. But we did get some cool news.
Foxy's sister, her hubby, daughter, son & his wife will all be with us for Thanksgiving. Our niece is an actress out of NYC and has gotten a part in a dinner theater in Indianapolis. Our BIL is willing to pay for all of us (the whole family) to go to Indy the day after Thanksgiving to see her opening night! How exciting is that? There will be more to come on that, I tell you!
Have a great Monday!

Kent is my Boyd
Well, the last 13 hours have been crazy! First, I want you to know that I didn't make it to the garden at all yesterday or this morning. So I'll do that tonight and for Friday, I"ll have pictures from my garden posted.
I got home from work last night, changed clothes and went to church, thinking I had praise team practice. Well, I did, but it was after church. I could have sat and had a leisurely supper. Oh well. I sat in on Bible Study and the kids went to Youth Group. Then we practiced. It was a good practice. I warned them that I am going to be at band camp all weekend, so they have to have someone on standby justincase I get sick or something.
After church, Daughter, Son and I went to Wallyworld (aka as Wal-Mart) to pick up snacks and advil. We got Twizzlers (strawberry and black), Doritos, granola bars, Rice Krispy Treats, and cappuccino mix. Son and I loves Hills Brothers English Toffee flavored. Then we ran to Burger King to grab them supper at 8:30 pm.
Once we got home Daughter and I settled into So You Think You Can Dance. It's the final four and we are totally voting for Kent Boyd! Have you seen this cutie patootie! Monday night, the family and I went to a Drum & Bugle Show. We got out of our car to walk to the stadium and this couple got out of their car to walk tot he stadium. The lady turned around and decided to take the magnet that was on her car. I spied it just as she turned around and it was for a "Vote for Kent Boyd" magnet! As a side note: Daughter, Son, Miss V and Miss A are going to the SYTYCD tour in October. Daughter wants to make a shirt that says, "KENT IS MY BOYD!" How cute is that?
We started talking and this lady's daughter danced with Kent up in Wapakoneta, OH. She told us how nice he is and how he is so humble about the whole journey. The town has raised a lot of money so his parents can be there for each episode and how he had outgrown the teachers and studio where he took lessons and how he would go on Youtube, watch dances and learn them himself. It was so nice talking with this lady! So last night Daughter and I and Miss Varsity called and voted for him as much as we could.
And then it got really windy, and started to thunder and lightning. at 10:06 last night, the electric went out. It came back on, and then went out again! So we grabbed a few flashlights, fumbled for the aim and flame and lit candles. Daughter and Son took a shower by candle light. I opened a couple of windows in my bedroom and went to bed. Here was the scene while I was reading by the light bulb on my phone.
This is the side table next to my bed. Books and chargers everywhere. I just bought some candles, so we were lucky. But, what do you do when there is hardly any wax left of a candle? Let me know. Should I put a whole bunch of scents together? I plugged my phone in to my charger, justincase the electric came back on. And you know what? It did, at 12:07 AM. The reason I know? My stupid phone lit up the whole room! I have a light bulb app on my phone and used it to read. So I fumbled around, got it all turned off and snoozed more.
Then I was up at 5:30, took a shower, got Daughter and Son up, got dressed, lunch packed for Foxy and was out the door @ 6:37 to take kids to school so they could leave for band camp. All this time, dark clouds are spreading across the sky, lighning, and sprinkles. We reach the school, make a run for it, taking in sleeping bags, suitcases, pillows and meds. I talk to the teachers about meds and start to leave so I won't be late for work. I see Daughter and tell her to save me a bunk. She says "I will, but don't go out there."
I ask why and she says, "It's pouring!". I look around and kids are soaked and spotted with rain. So I wait a few minutes until it lightens up and then walk quickly to the car and drive off. So now we're all caught up.
Tonight I will be joining the kids at band camp. Hope you have a great weekend. I'll have lots of pictures and band fun to post for you on Monday and Tuesday, probably.
I have a favor. I am pretty dumb when it comes to this blog stuff. I really want a couple of buttons of my own for both my sites. If someone can direct me in the right direction, or really help me out with this, I would so appreciate it.

So last night, I was taking BFF home with Daughter and Miss Varsity Cheerleader and the brakes went out on the caddy. Foxy worked all day Tuesday on Daughter's car, so now his car is down. Good thing he is off until June 18th! Hopefully he will be able to fix this cheaply an quickly. Hopefully!
DID you watch So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) last night? What amazing things. When Pasha took his shirt off...let's just say my daughter and I were wiping drool off our chins. And Jose with Twitch, Comfort and Dominic. I bow to them. They are all so awesome! Kent Boyd (from Ohio) was perfection with Travis Wall's dance and let me tell you...Wade Robson's (and his wife's) choreography for the opening number, I literally bow down to. I can not get enough of this show. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
Today I only work until noon because this company has summer hours from the Monday after Memorial Day to the Friday before Labor day. I seem to feel rushed today, but my 12:05 pm I am gone!
Daughter and I are getting hairs cut today and Son is having the percussion tryouts. Wish him luck (though he doesn't need it!).
Tomorrow we are going the Banana Split Festival and who knows what else. Have a great weekend, I will try and post something about mine on Monday! Love to all!

15 and Counting
Today, my oldest daughter turned 15. Unfortunately I am here at work most of the day, as is her dad. Her best friend is on vacation and she as opted to spend the morning through lunch with a group from church that have all younger kids. They are going to a place called Bananas!. This place has a bunch of inflatables that the kids can jump, slide, run and do whatever they want to get some energy out. Oldest is happy going and playing with the 2 and 3 year olds. She is going to be a great preschool teacher and baby sitter someday.
Her favorite shows on television (right now) are So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With the Stars. She is beyond happy that tonight is SYTYCD's 100th episode and they are bringing back dances from the first 5 seasons. It is a FOX channel show, and if you love choreography and dance, you will really like this. Infact, I think I will get her tickets to go see the tour when it comes close to our area.
We usually make a special meal or take the kids out for their b-day. She has opted to wait to go out until this weekend when her brother comes back from camp. She is so thoughtful to want to include him. She could have decided to be selfish and we just do it now. I am going to get her some cheesecake so she can at least have a bday dessert.
Just so you don't think we are heartless parents, next weekend, we are planning a party for her. She wants to just sit around the fire pit with friends, listening to music or jumping on the trampoline, having snacks and smores. She is a simple girl with simple tastes. She is worried that her friends won't come. That is her biggest fear. Ahh to only have that simple worry.
Her favorite things are purses and shoes, and she has an Aunt who loves to spoil her with Vera Bradley. She loves any kind of shoes, especially Converse and heels. She is taller than me (which is not hard to be) and about as tall as her daddy. She is going into 9th grade and is on the drill team in the high school's marching band. That starts in full force next week.
Happy Birthday Darling. Hope your day is a good one!
