Zumba

In July I signed up for a fitness class called Zumba.  Some of you may have heard of it and it may be new to some of you.  Let me tell you, I have taken fitness/workout classes in the past.  I just don't stick with them.  If they don't keep me interested, then forget it.  I just won't go.  Zumba is different.  It is so much fun.  Here is a little about it from the Zumba site.

"The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba® Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!"

Go to the Zumba site and find a class near you.  It is so much fun!  And the burning calories doesn't hurt either. :)

First Day of School

Yesterday was back to school day for us.  I can't believe I am the mother of a 3rd grader. :(  Makes me sad.

The boy was really excited for school to start.  He leaped out of bed in the morning and was ready to start his day. Normally it takes some nudging to get him moving in the morning.  I went in to work a little late so I could go into school with him.  We got a few quick pictures outside of the school, I walked him to his locker and said our goodbyes.  I got a little teary eyed as I was leaving but he was just fine.  He had a great day but wasn't too excited about the homework.   We had to have a little discussion about how the homework routine would go this year.  Now that it is out of the way I think we will have a good year!
