the belly dancer

At the beginning of the school year, I added a few goals to our morning routine:

1. A hot breakfast with the whole family.
2. Scripture study- (which is really just a few verses per child).
3. A Dance Party in our living room.

The hot breakfasts aren't going well.

The scripture studying is so-so.

The dance parties are ROCKIN!

I am putting together a DANCE MUSIC VIDEO of the best highlights. I'm trying to learn a new video editing program and it's taking me much longer than I anticipated, but it's a lot of fun. The most talented dancer in the family is [hands-down!] the baby. He's got some crazy moves and most of them are in his round belly! We all sit around and laugh while he rocks out!

My time is limited on the computer these days. I always have a baby at my feet begging to pound on the keyboard. The other day, while going through our highlights (and listening to Adam Lambert) I captured an 8 second video of Simon and his belly dancing. He was frustrated that I was on the computer and was merely obliging. (You can tell his heart isn't in it. When his heart is in it, he will rock so hard that he falls over!) This little ditty is a foreshadowing of good things to come:
