Footloose Dance Party

End of the day and the girls had just carbo-loaded on pasta and sweets. Have to find a way to burn off their increasing energy and restlessness. Can't go outside ...raining.

Turns out, as usual, that it's not my idea, but the kids', that saves the situation. Why? I'm not a kid anymore. Don't think like one; not as free spirited and spontaneous as they are.

We go to the smallest room in the house and Ella pushes a 'play' button on a Ferris wheel toy. An overly-hyped tune blasts out causing her to instantly erupt into a possessed dance routine. Lily and I are still laughing when the music stops and Ella simultaneously freezes.

Time to break out the video equipment. The girls make up a quick three-act script: lie on ground and say what a boring day it is; cue music and dance insanely; freeze when the music stops.  Pure childish, free-spirited energy. A good reminder of what adults tend to lose as they mature. Thank God for kids!

Pure insanity. Watch the video and see for yourself.
