Dance Party

We took the kids to their first high school dance this past Friday - what a blast! J., as most of you know, is a teacher at a small charter school here in San Diego. They had their winter semi-formal on Friday and we decided to go and chaperone. As it turns out, they told him that the kids could come because some younger siblings would be there and some staff were bringing their kids as well. Did I mention that this school was a bit unconventional? Anyhow, they had the time of their lives dancing it up! Camille even made me find the "Cha Cha Cha" song online the next day so that she could practice her steps.

Here is a video, I'm sorry it's pretty dark. It's what I've got and it will forever remind me of the fun that they had on that night. None of the pictures that I took quite capture the essence!

On another note, I officially sent in my first query letter today - yikes! I have been throwing around the idea of trying to write more for a while and decided that there was no better time to try than now. I usually have Tuesdays completely free of children so my ambition for that day is to send out one query or unsolicited article (publication accepting) per week. I actually wrote this query last week but had been sitting with it so that I could re-read it and I finally stuck it in the mail today. That leaves me the rest of today to write another...
