Mid-Week Exhaustion

I feel like I haven't blogged in ages. When I took the summer camp job offers for this year, I really didn't think I'd be in over my head. Fortunately, it isn't extremely overwhelming, but BOY AM I POOPED. This week in particular is beyond tiring. Here's a breakdown for ya:

8-noon STEAM camp for middle schoolers
1-4 Musical Theater dance camp for ages 8-12 (that's right... 3 HOURS....) (AND the theater is a 25 minute drive from the college campus the morning camp takes place in)
6:30-8 Adult tap dancing class

Every other day is the same with the exception of the tap class is only once. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a dance camp in the afternoon. When I get home around 5... It takes every ounce of self control I have to not pass out on the couch. However, the kids ROCK in this class. I am extremely impressed and proud of them. I should have some choreography videos up on YouTube soon!

It also doesn't help that I'm in the midst of a huge move to a new house. Thank goodness for the work-from-home hubby because I am good for nothing this week!

I have some great new things in the works for your download-loving hearts, so stay tuned because I should have them up and ready in July!

Thanks for your patience, readers!

The Ball

The cutest thing happened yesterday at the playground!

As we supervised our kiddos, my supervising teacher and I were chatting by the picnic tables when I noticed two of my most rowdy students were dancing together by the slide. Not your regular dancing, mind you. They were ball room dancing. The boy was twirling the girl around and they were moving around the playground gracefully. It was a shocker to say the least and SO ADORABLE. They danced for quite and while and then like any other day in Kindergarten, the girl tackled the boy to the ground. Later, my supervising teacher asked the little girl where she learned to dance. She blushed and said that her daddy dances with her like that and she was teaching the boy how to. <3

After a little while, the little boy decided he didn't want to dance anymore and went away. So the little girl found another boy to dance with. This boy had absolutely no interest in learning to dance. He was busy pretending one of the big playground toys was a car. I watched as the little girl pulled him and tried to drag him away from it to dance and finally she said, "You can drive the coach after the ball." It took every once of my being not to laugh. That poor boy put up with her but he just didn't like dancing. :)
