FIRST.....Three weeks ago, Dave and I decided that we should check out a Karate place for Harley. We had been talking about putting him in Karate for the last three years and never really
got around to finding a place. Dave had been talking to a couple of his buddies and saw this little studio over by where he was working one night. He said that there was tons of kids there and maybe Harley would like it. We went in one night just to talk and find out how much. Harley was so excited about the place and we decided that it wasn't all that much and it would be good for him.After the first introductory week, we signed Harley up for a full year. We made him promise that he would do his best and practice everything every day. I must confess that this later promise we really don't enforce all that much. He does do his sit ups, push ups, and jumping jacks all the time. His dad loves to tell him to do the sit ups and of course Harley does as many as his dad says....just like that.
This last Thursday, was Harley's fourth class (2
classes as a maybe student and then 2 more as a student) and he was able to get two stripes to his belt already. He really has learned a lot and does the blocks, punches, and other moves quite well. He remembers stuff that I thought for sure he would forget. Oh, yea that is my sewing skills coming out. I sewed on the patches all by myself and I have to confess that I think that I did a stellar job. GO ME!!!He can't wait to get into the yellow belt. This morning he asked me if I had taken Karate before and of course I told him that I had. He then asked me what belt I had gotten to....orange....I replied...."WOW!!! that is awesome!!" Kids. Have to love them...they always seem to make you feel like superman or woman!!
Let's see.....also on last Thursday....My mom, my sister and all of the cousins and I went to see Mickey Mouses' Magic Show on Ice at the Energy Solutions Arena. It was great. We had killer seats!!! YEA...no freaking out for me....more about that in another post.....
Of course, my favorite part was Arial. I love this princess and it was great to see it on ice.
Harley's favorite part was all of it, but I think that it was Peter Pan when Tick Tock Crock was eating Captain Hook. I don't have a picture of that one, but my mom does and hopefully I could get it. Tick was a big inflatable balloon that Captain Hook fell into. He was talking about that a couple of days later.
Ok....well, I actually have to go and take Harley to Karate right now, but tomorrow I am hoping to catch ya all up....there is so much more.....
