My parents arrived yesterday to help out with the kids today. The State "B" boys basketball tournament is in Sioux Falls so I have no daycare today, she is attending the games. We had a really great night, it was over 50 so when we got home all of us went out for a walk even papa. Carson rode his bike and Grace was in her stroller. As an added bonus the ethanol planes were out practicing so we got to see them do loops and rolls it was pretty neat.
We ate supper then turned on the tourney game, Lennox (our school dist.) Vs. Madison. It was a very good game practically tied the whole time. Madison came out on top with no time to spare I think you could call it a Hail Mary play. So I was disappointed to see Lennox lose, but it was a good game so nobody can really feel bad. During half time there were some dancing girls from a neighboring "B" school. I know that a lot has changed in the 10 years that I've been out of school. But I was actually disgusted by their costumes, choice of music and the dance itself.
First for their costumes, I'm sure they could have been worse but it was super short/tight shorts with a super tight tank top. I'm not sure of the name of the song they used, but it was a hip/hop number made a number of sexual innuendos. If you like the beat girls great take the words out! The actual dance routine went right along with the words of the song, when reference was made to the female bottom they did what I call the "butt clapper" a move that is in no way appropriate for the high school dance team level. I'm sure these girls worked very hard for this performance and they did have some neat stunts. But where was the coach when this routine was made up? If I were the parent of one of these girls I would be embarrassed that my daughter was dancing that way and I would have had a little talk with that coach. The second games half time was also dancing girls doing a more traditional dance in, yes a more boring costume but so much more appropriate! Enough of that rant on to Humpty Dumpty! When it was bed time my mom and I went into my room and were watching TV while my dad and Carson were in the living room chatting away. Naturally we muted our TV to hear the conversation between the boys!
Papa: Carson if you keep eating donuts your gonna end up looking like Papa. (my dad has a big belly)
Carson:Like Humpty Dumpty, but I've got big muscles, feel my muscles Papa.
Papa: Oh yeah!
Carson: I have bones too, I can feel my bones, I can feel your bones too!
Papa: Yep
Carson: Maybe that's a big bone in your belly!
They chatted for a long time while my mom and I laughed till we cried. It was lots of fun!

Cute conversation between Papa and Carson!
How great that your parents come and help you out so often. I'm thinking it is as big of a blessing to them as it is to you!
I missed the dancing girls but can definitely imagine. Times are a changin'......unfortunately!
I was at that Madison vs. Lennox game and it was A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!
Most of the people around me commented on the dancing girls at halftime too!
