July 24, 2011


Ah Monday, a day of nothing for us! You guys slept until 9:00 and I enjoyed having some time to myself. We layed low in the morning and then were off for an adventure to find new tap shoes for Alaina and a tap dancing board to practice on at home.

We ventured out to Chaska and it took awhile to find the place but finally did. Alaina, you did not want the "little kid" tap shoes and had to have the ones like the big girls. You liked looking at the costumes and accessories but we didn't buy anything else today. Aidan, you were trying to find boy tap/break dancing shoes but no such luck. I was able to get your mind off the shoes with our next plan. I had looked on line on how to make a tap dancing board and we were off to Lowe's. Everyone was going to have a job - Aidan, you were the foreman, Alaina, you were the gluer, and I was the measurer. We got into your favorite car cart and tried to find the supplies we needed. After talking with one of the workers we realized making this board wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. So we looked around and managed to find a piece of particle board that we thought would do the trick. Alaina, you carried the large piece for a while since I had to push the cart and then you found a cart on wheels and pushed the board and Aidan around the store. You were both so excited to try it out and were helpful.

When we got home you both put on tap shoes (Aidan, you wore Alaina's shoes) and went to town in the basement!! Alaina, you had dance tonight and put on a special outfit and were so excited to try out your new shoes.

After dance we had dinner and watched the new DVD we got with Aidan's dance recital on it. I think we will be watching this a lot!!

Alaina you had nearball tonight and went with Theresa. You didn't get back until late and convinced me to let you sleep over at her house! I said "yes" and you packed a box of stuff to bring over. Aidan, you were a little sad so I let you stay up later and sleep with me. I hope you have fun tonight, Alaina and Aidan, I hope you don't kick me!
