Yoga with the girls...

When I say "the girls" I mean my daughters naturally.  Oh, you though I may have escaped to a blissful class at the Zen Zone perhaps?  Wrong.  Not a chance with the MLK holiday, teacher inservice day and ANOTHER SNOW DAY.  Yes, that makes it 11 days since Olivia has actually been in school.  But who's counting? 

 Certainly not me!! No way, I've been too busy doing yoga and cleaning up puke.  (More on that later...) Anyway, so I got a Yoga app for my iPad.  I told Olivia I was going to do yoga and she immediately dashed upstairs to get on her brown yoga pants and a pink tank with coordinating tie sweater.  Cute.  Anyway, so we spread out our mats and prop up the iPad.   There was a lot of giggling and falling and snorts of laughter coming from Olivia, and Ellee kept making me laugh by walking on my mat and doing "downward dog" whenever we did it.   Only her head is so big she couldn't push up with her arms so it was more of a headstand with her feet still on the floor.  The girls got bored quickly and I was feeling pretty good so I changed the setting to "expert" level.  Let's just say I am not an "expert yogi"  I can now admit that.   It had me with one leg up then told me to go into a backbend... I tried it, and fell on my head.  Then they were wanting me to hold one leg up in the air unsupported for 20 seconds.... several times in a row.  Needless to say I am sore today and humbled.  Just because you do the eliptical and lift a few weights doesn't mean you even come close to being in yoga shape.  It's deceiving!  

Now for the puke.  I won't go into detail, but Jack was feeling kinda pukey...  He came up to me and said "Moommmm yucky stuff's gonna come outta my mouf"  Ok I said springing into action... lets get into the bathroom.  We stood there for a minute and when I looked over at him he had his mouth open just staring at the potty.  I had to laugh.  He thought that if he just opened his mouth up that yucky stuff would just jump right out of his tummy.  Poor guy... he's all better today though.  

So, I'm not sure if we'll have school tomorrow or not... I mean there's a chance it might snow a 1/2 inch... maybe we should stay home "just in case!"  Come on Lees Summit!! Toughen up, put a coat on! Lets get these kids back in school!
