Let's Dance

Today I helped with Ty's Halloween party at school. The room rep had a game called freeze dance. Here's how you play. She turned on some music and the kids would dance. Then when she turned off the music she would yell out a word that goes with Halloween. The kids would stop dancing and act like that object. Some of the things she yelled were ghost, bat, vampire etc.

Ty was not into dancing much at first then he remembered how HE can dance...Oh yeah mom

Football Touchdown Dance!

Bernie and the Championship

This season Zack played flag football which was awesome! During one game I kept looking at the opposing teams coach. He reminded me of someone but I couldn't think who it was. I knew it was an actor, but I could never think of exactly which one. Then one night it hit me...he looks like...

Bernie from "Weekend at Bernie's"!

When I realized who it was I laughed right out loud! It was way too funny! Tonight Zack's team played "Bernie's" for the championship. Let me just brag for a minute, Zack did AMAZING! He scored a touchdown, two extra points, and was a defensive animal. Seriously I have never seen him "in the zone" before. He did great! Then to top it off, they won the championship by 2 points! Very exciting and like the great mom I am, I left the camera at home. So here is his picture at home with his trophy. Hopefully one of the other moms will e-mail me some better shots.

Champs!

Great job Chaos! Thanks for a fun season!

Up Down Up Down

On the season opener of the Biggest Looser this year the contestants first challenge was to do 500 up downs. Looks simple enough, step up step down.

While discussing the show at the gym someone in an early morning class asked how long it should take to do 500 up downs. Well thanks to that inquisitive person we got to find out.

My time 12 minutes 49 seconds. The poster girl and a 17 year old boy both did it in 8 minutes and change. Of course they are in top shape and much younger, but it was impressive to watch.

I started out doing pretty well but soon felt my right leg starting to cramp, so I switch to my left as my push up leg. That helped but slowed me down, I'm not nearly as fast with my left leg.

I felt pretty good about my time as I came to realize my time was right there with the "fit 20 year olds". My right leg however stayed in a tight knot for the next 3 days!

Thanks Biggest Looser for keeping our training sessions interesting! I'm always up for a good challenge, so keep them coming!
