Is Fred Astaire in the house?

When the last school year ended, Dylan began to complain about having to participate in "Dancing Classrooms", a semester-long class (only 2 days a week) required for all 5th graders in the district. He whined about it all summer, cringing at the thought of having to dance with "all the girls in 5th grade". Well, Dancing Classrooms started two weeks ago, and he loves it! According to his P.E. teacher and dance instructor, he has the "best hips" in 5th grade. He's learned "the Merengue" and I think one other dance. Next week they learn a new dance. Toward the end of the semester, the best dancers move on to district competition.

The PTA picnic is over!!! We had a great turn out and a perfect evening to sit outside. It's the third year we've held a membership picnic. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We even had food left over. Now it's time to get ready for next month's carnival.

Today I discovered a new scrapbook store will be opening just a few miles from my house! We haven't had a real scrapbook store around here since Recollections and the Scrapbook Pad closed over a year ago. Not that I have time to work on scrapbooks these days but I can still collect supplies.

This week I completed a "How to Make a Fleece Vest" sewing class. Renee and I took it together. No one in the class had time to finish a vest before class ended but I'm hoping to try to finish mine over the weekend...with some help from Renee.
