Back in Black

Had to run out shopping tonight. Needed to get all black ensembles for the kids and dance shoes. It was easy enough finding stuff for the girl, nearly impossible finding stuff for the boy. It took several stores before we found all we needed. The sad part? We only needed black sweatpants and black shirts. Who would've known that this would be such an impossible task?

The girl was beyond thrilled to go shopping for dance things. She got the works. She wanted pink, but the class requires everything black. There were tons of black things for her to get and wear.The boy was not thrilled about getting dance shoes. I asked him to try the whole dance thing for at least a month. If he still didn't like it, he could quit. I got him the more masculine-looking jazz shoes as opposed to the somewhat femme-looking ballet slippers. He tolerated them. And me? I get 2 1/2 hours free every Friday night. I'm a happy camper.
