30 Minutes of Euphoria

Yeah, 30 minutes of euphoria. At work. Can you say that?

Anyway, this morning, during our usual walk time, the county was under a severe thunderstorm warning. Usually, I shrug those off and we go play outside anyway, but not today! The sky was black, the thunder was rolling, and lightning may or may not have struck the side yard. I had to think of something for The Kids and I to do during our "workout" time.

The Babe's new favorite thing to do is play musical chairs. I introduced her to it a few weeks ago and she can't get enough of the loud music and running around the living room. She gets a real kick out of the music stopping. I run to a chair and she just cracks up and runs to her chair. It really is too fun.

But today was different. Today was way more fun than usual.

In one of his interviews, Michael Jackson said that when he dances, he thinks of nothing. Nothing. To dance is to not think.

Today, during 30 minutes of musical chairs, I didn't think for a second. I danced. And I was taught moves I've never seen before by a three-and-a-half year old.

I took videos on my phone and I haven't been able to transfer them to my computer, just a website. So these links will have to do. I encourage you to watch them. I mean, maybe you'll learn some moves, too! And if not, maybe the next time you are with some kids, this will at least teach you to not think.

You'll have to excuse the lack of light. It was very dark outside, and there's only one light in the living room. And for better results, turn your speakers up really loud.

Yes, we were listening to Black Eyed Peas. And yes, The Babe does know the words to some of their songs. Except, instead of saying "Don't phunk with my heart" she says, "Don't stink my heart."

I laugh every time.

Media overload, today!

I leave you with The Babe's example of a still life painting.

Bananas!
