Circus Arts

So, Blog.  The heat broke in favor of swamp-like humidity.  But I'll take it.

Now that the kiddos are back in school, Mama is free to get a job.  A full time job might be too much so I have been looking at part time things or work from home, etc.  My background is in education so I always search through the education ads and one of the interviews I went on was for a school of the....circus arts.  Step right up, this stuff is coooooool.

So we know I like the yoga and the Zumba, and we know I have the son who is the handful. I try to therapuetize him through physical activity and Ted actually does get down with some warrior one and sun salutations actually.  He is a good sport.  He is also the most high strung yoga practitioner in the world.  We're working on it. But my dream has always been to TEACH yoga and Zumba to kids because it is pretty cool and they don't really offer it for children that much.  Yoga especially is good for them to learn.

And because I am THAT mom, I usually work in a half hour of yoga with the kids a couple of times a week.  We have a stack of cards called "Yoga Pretzels" that are made for kids and show them the positions as little animal and things. Ted likes it and we can do it all together.

Then I saw this ad on craigslist, and it was a while ago, so I can't remember the exact words but it was something for school of gymnastics, etc.  I went on the interview with a nice Ukrainian couple who run the school and as it turns out, it is a school for circus arts.  And I was like, for real, Nancinator.  Think big.

I mean sure, I want my kids to be little yogis but these guys take it to a whole new level and why not? As much as I love the kiddos being flexible and taking gymnastics, everyone is taking those classes. Why not get my kids involved in a class where they do all those thing PLUS learn how to juggle and trapeze? Um, hello, college applications?  Yeah yeah yeah I'm a great gymnast.  How about yeah yeah yeah I can roll myself into a pretzel while flying through aerial silk knots and landing on a unicycle?  Take that, Harvard.  How do you like my 3.7 gpa now?

So H and T are DEFINITELY taking some classes here. They have already taken one and really liked it. Since they are brother and sister I fully expect after dinner ACTS for my entertainment.
