Scattered Thoughts

1. It's always interesting to me the things my kids really care about. For instance, we made the decision to miss the dance festival this year, thinking that Enoch really wouldn't care. He doesn't like to be on display or be the center of attention, so I thought the dance festival wouldn't be his thing. He is so excited about it. Geesh! Truthfully, I think he is more excited about the costumes than the dance, but he is still sad about missing it. The kindergarteners are doing a dance to the Mary Poppins chimney sweep song. They get to dust their faces with black chalk. Enoch is all about that!
To make up for it and to ease my guilt, Kate and I were able to watch their practice. It was so cute! I'm a bit sad now too that we are missing it. And guess what? I stood by myself, 10 feet away from Enoch and had a perfect view of him. That was the best seat I'll ever have at the dance festival - and I forgot my camera! Typical.

2. Kate has magical hair. She told me last night, "I have blond hair and when Sister Hampton cut my hair - it stayed blond! It didn't turn brown. My hair is magical!" Reference Tangled if you are confused.

3. This morning before the kids were up, I sat down and filled out our summer calendar. Oh my goodness! I think we have one free day the entire summer. We have Scouts, Kate's gym class twice a week, Enoch's karate class, Gavin's saxophone lessons, day camps for Enoch, week long Scout camps for Gavin, park day with the cousins, campfire programs for Enoch up the canyon, swimming lessons, merit badge classes, trips, etc, etc, etc. I'm tired already.
