Third Grade & Swamped September

After our glorious vacation we settled back to the school routine, or at least have been trying to. Shara's starting 1/2 hour earlier than last year and this week was the first ballet class and tomorrow will be the first swim class. She loves dance and is looking forward to swimming, or at least not saying no to it.

Tonight she played butler for our margarita party from church. A number of people bid at our annual auction to come over for a party and tonight was the night. It was quite fun. Some of the guests helped make soft corn tortillas and while the ladies went downstairs to drink margaritas and eat some Mexican food, Shara and Alan played in the office - Alan with his new electronics kit and Shara on the web, playing games. Then she decided it was time to come down and join the party. She boogied around the room but wouldn't perform her hard rock song for us.

Shara and I had been watching the MTV Video Music Awards and I think she got her "hard rock song" impersonation from Green Day. Yesterday she started playing air guitar around the kitchen and doing the "wa wa wwaaa" sounds and every so often, interspersed it with a "sh*t!". I was rolling! We both were, really. No, she's not allowed to say that, or any other, swear word outside the house and also shouldn't say it in front of anyone other than myself or Alan, but it was funny!
