Her first dance card.....

6th grade dance card
McKenna and the rest of the tortured sixth grade had their very first dance. They had a luau theme with fruit and slushes, a blow up tiki hut, and inflatable palm trees. Each kid had a dance card that they had to fill with names of the opposite sex and those were to be their partners for the dances. Kenna's group of friends and her friend Austin's group of friends sort of stuck together. They worked for weeks with their teachers to learn line dances and partner dances so they should have felt prepared. After they got the first dance under their belts the nerves subsided and they were having a great time. Their teachers were great with the planning so nobody was left out. It was fun for the mom's to watch, too. Till it hits you that you are now old enough to have a child who is dancing with the opposite sex!!! The beginning of the end..........

I thought it was cute until I realized this is the beginning of the end. Our babies are all grown up! I wish I had a video camera for when Kenna danced with Zach. It was so funny because they were way into the dance- faces and everything were so cute! I think her and Zach had more chemistry when they danced, but I think we got a little friendship blossoming with her and Austin!

Chandra!
It was so good to hear from you on my blog - thanks for your comment!
I don't think it would be any easier to watch my spouse go through the stuff my son goes through. In fact, I think it would be harder because *I* wouldn't have the support!
Your family is so cute. Where are you living?
