My sister started calling these weekly evening trips "Tia Tuesdays" from the name that my nephew and niece have for me (Ryan is Tio).   They are usually a lot of fun, very chaotic, and typically exhausting.  I can't think of a better way to spend the evening while Ryan is at class.

Often after dinner we play games or do silly things.  One night, Wyatt really wanted to show me how to play flashlight tag.  We waited until it got dark and then the two of us went outside.  As you can imagine flashlight tag with two players wasn't quite thrilling but he was happy to show me anyway!

Another one of our common post-dinner activities is to have a "Dance Party" or "Dance-Off."  We turn the Party music channel on TV and take turns showing our best moves.  I suppose this is part of the reason why these evenings are so chaotic and exhausting but it is just too hilarious to not partake.  

This past week I took our flip camera to video some of the dancing.  As you watch you will see the everyone has their own special moves.  Wyatt is a break-dancer and spends most of his time spinning on the floor.  John Paul is an "arm dancer" and likes to show his moves using only his upper body.   Carly is a show-stopper.  That girl has some soul in her and her face lights up when it is her turn to dance!  Hope you enjoy a glimpse into Tia Tuesdays!
