Sparring is Back!!!

Last night the class went back to one of the kids's faves:sparring! Not sure why throwing punches and kicks at your friends is fun, but they really enjoy it! The one caveat is that A&A are not allowed to spar one another due to the fact that they do not take defeat to each other very well.

I have seen them spar dozens of time, so I have become accustomed to watching it and rarely ever flinch. Last night, I was actually yelling at Alex to keep his hands up and move (he was standing still, sparring Lizzie) - something I never do, but due to the noise of the nearby squash courts, I had no choice.

Yep, sparring in the squash courts. What else can we do?

Sheryl and Geoff REALLY need to leave Lifetime.

Every Other Monday

Martial Arts is not just a sport, it is an integral part of our lives. Ariana and Alex are both upset because we have quit Monday nights and have let us know their displeasure. Last night they went because they needed to practice what they had learned from Mr. McGilvery on Saturday. They were 2/3 of last night's class - and had an absolute blast. Nothing like private classes!

Well, as long as Mr. McGilvery continues to teach every other Saturday, then they will attend the following Monday class to review what they have learned.

Not exactly what they want (they rather enjoy going 3 times/week), but it seems to have pacified them - for now.

Bad, Bad Tae Kwon Dos Mom!!!

I have been bad. We are no longer attending Monday classes due to the Lifetime idiocy of placing us in the Squash Courts. Wednesday I babysat Sheryl's foster daughter (oh, so cute, so little!)while Geoff took the kids and today, Saturday, I went to the Stamping Convention in Grapevine instead. (David took the kids and came home with the stress.)

Bad, Bad Tae Kwon Dos Mom!!!

I have not been there, but I am feeling SOOOO calm. It is a great feeling.

Does the Chinese Longevity Stencil make up for skipping the classes?
