Bellydancing

Took a fun break from my computer yesterday for 15 minutes or so. The girls have been learning belly dancing at Girls Brigade, and of course Jude has learnt it before, so the girls strapped on the jangly stuff and did a dance. I got my Egyptian drum out and provided the beats while the girls went through their shimmying and shaking. Great stuff!

Fireworks

We took the kids down the mall Thursday night (family night) to see the Pre Christmas show - some dancing girls singing songs, a giant frosty and rudolph, and fireworks. The kids were enthralled. The fireworks were a decent set that went for 10-15 minutes or so as well and we were pretty close so they were up close and loud.

I only had my camera phone there so the photos aren't anything spectacular - I wish I took the real camera! However they are pretty cool. Most of them are on Flickr.

Overflowing with Love for Daddy

Last night after dinner the kids were playing contortionist games on the floor, spinning around and stretching and having fun. I was sitting in the chair watching them play and asked who could do the strangest thing with their body. Mercedes climbed up on to me and gave me a full on cuddle. I said Mercedes wins - she is cuddling me. Next minute I had 4 clingons as they all rushed me for a cuddle!

 

As I was putting them to bed more cuddles came. As I said good night to Miranda and Jadeen, Miranda said "I have so much love for you I am overflowing with love for you Daddy." Jadeen said "Me too!"

 

I guess their love tanks are full.

Hide and Seek

We just finished playing a boisterous game of hide and seek - lots of fun and a real challenge to find the places the kids can't find me. Hiding in plain sight is often the best way.
