MTV Spring Break...Nobles Style

Today we decided to have a little dance party.  It was pretty impromptu.  I got a new iPod for my birthday since my old one was stolen out of the truck last year.  I love it.  Nice and small and square.  It's perfect.  Anyway, I loaded it up with tunes and the boys and I started dancing around the living room.  Jackson loves to dance, but Grant can ACTUALLY dance, and it's pretty funny to watch.  I was cracking up the whole time.  And the song in the background? That would be "I Like to Move It" by will.I.am.  From the movie "Madagascar 2"  Grant's played that song about 149 times over the last couple of years.  There was one of those singing Hallmark cards at one time that sang the song.  Everytime we walked into the Hallmark store he went straight for that card.  CoCo bought him one once.  After about a thousand listenings it stopped.  Daddy bought him another the next time they were in there.  It got to be where the lady at the Hallmark store knew him well.  This was about 2 years ago.  We were in there 2 weeks ago getting a card for a friend of mine, Hallmark lady STILL remembered him and found him another of those cards.  He is a charmer.  And Jack?  Sweet Jack asked me tonight how to teach him to dance with a girl.  We did NOT dance to Moto Moto, more like Fun.'s "We are Young" and Heath had to cut in a few times.

Anyway, day one of spring break was a success.

Here's Jackson, carb loading after a full day at the rodeo...where he basically ate his way from Reliant Center thru the carnival to Reliant Arena.  We are in the beginnings of the legendary boy appetite stage of life, particularly as it relates to pasta, bread and cheese.  I won't bore you with a blow by blow description of all he ate at the carnival, let's just say it was impressive.  And expensive.  And his brother couldn't handle it and vomited, luckily in an appropriate place, even more luckily at the point in the day when I was more than ready to call it quits.  Jackson was a trooper and not only felt pretty good, but decided just 3 short hours later that he was hungry, and ravioli with creamy tomato basil sauce was the cure.  I've always maintained that had it not been for whatever brave soul decided to eat old curdled milk from another species of animal (aka CHEESE!) I'd be significantly thinner.  Cheese and pasta are the best foods on the earth, and at least one of my kiddos agree!
