This week they pulled on ballet shoes and tutus and I drove them back and forth more than I didn’t. I watched the Nutcracker a total of four times start to finish and I got teary eyed every performance. I fed them way to much fast food and we didn’t hit the books as much as we should. But really, is there anything better than clapping wildly for your children as they take a final bow or cross the finish line with a job well done? No, I think not.
