Showstoppers Dance Competition Approaching
February 5, 2007
It’s getting to be that time of the year again when the Showstoppers Dance competitions begin. In a couple of weeks, we will be on the road again to Phoenix for the competition.
This year, Suzanne, Savannah and Sean will be competing. This is the first year for Sean. He will be doing a duet dance, The Mexican Hat Dance, with Savannah. They have been working hard on it this past few months in preparation. He will also be doing a group hip hop dance number. Suzanne and Savannah will also be doing multiple dances as well as each doing a song and dance routine.
What is Mr Papa going to be doing? Trying to stay awake in the audience. I dont mind watching the kids and Suzanne dance, but having to drive to Phoenix and be up there all weekend for a few dances of each is a long time. I am not all that interested in watching a bunch of other kids dance. Some of the older, high school age kids are pretty good and they are more enjoyable than about of kids the age of my kids that I dont know. Still, the kids enjoy doing this, so no issues with going.
This weekend, the three of them will also be performing a charity event at the Tucson VA hospital. Suzanne volunteers down there and about once a quarter, she puts on a vocal variety show. This time, she is taking the kids with her and they will all do some dancing and Suzanne and Savannah will also practice their song and dance routines.
With everyone spending the next couple of weeks getting ready for the competition, I will again get a bunch of free time at home by myself. It’s nice to have these little times now and then. With all these site upgrades to do, I need it.
A quick word on our quirky Arizona weather lately… Today, we got into the 80′s. Last week, it snowed. There wasn’t any accumulation at our place, but the mountain tops around us were covered in snow. It was still there on my drive home today.
What’s Wrong With This Picture?
January 13, 2007
I always knew we were screwed up here in Mr Papa’s World. Just look at the activities around the homestead today…
Suzanne made a trip to Home Depot this morning to get some hardware supplies for the decorating project in Savannah’s room. She wanted her room redone as her Birthday present. Meanwhile, Mr Papa was in the kitchen cooking all of the special food for Savannah’s Birthday dinner tomorrow.
Suzanne gets home and starts working the room. She is cutting, drilling, hammering and make a bunch of noise. Mr Papa is hard at work on his consomme, birthday cake and braided bread. I also got to make lunch for everyone. At least I got my manhood back when she came to me to make the big, long hard cut with the skill saw. I still have to make the special chicken dish tomorrow and the scampi al forno appetizer that Savannah wanted.
I guess its a good thing we are adaptable around here…
