fine print: traditional greek dance music is at the bottom of this post. if you'd like to hear it first turn off the play list at the bottom of my blog then start the play list on this post. O.K. ;-D sorry to be difficult! xxo
have i mentioned that my husband is GREEK?{via}
this is my father-in-law's village.(think the movie 300, sparta is about an hour away) it's heavenly.
~or~
that my children go to a Hellenic Academy a.k.a.
GREEK SCHOOL?
i think i must have a time or to.
our annual church fundraiser a.k.a. the greek food festival is coming up in less than two months.
so, the children have been learning and practicing traditional greek dances. they are doing amazing they have learned so much in the past couple of week.
when the kids are practicing i could leave, read, or play on the intranet but, i don't i join the kids and learn the dances with them. (i feel like if i show them i am interest they will stay interested.) my boys think i'm weird and annoying but, the other children think i'm cool.... maybe i'm just wishful thinking MKAY!
~here's where i get suckered~
last night while i we were practicing some of the children
(not mine) came to me and said: "you have to dance with us at the festival, if you don't we won't dance."
of course i told them: "NO, i am not going to dance this your thing not mine. i'm just here to support you and cheer you on."
that didn't go over well, they begged and pleaded and before i knew what had happened i agreed to join them at the festival.
so, come september you'll probably find me in something like this:

^these are traditional costumes. Yes, the short skirts are for the dudes^
^or maybe something a little more modern^
^my boys will most likely be in something like this^

i think that is AMAZING.
i know would sit by watching the kids wishing i could join them. (I have dance fever...so that is probably my issue). I am WAY jeal of your opportunity!
can't wait to hear more about it! and you better post pictures! :)
PS i'm headed to greece this summer - going on a Mediterranean cruise, and we are making 3 stops in greece! can't wait! maybe i'll come back with some hot moves!
i can't wait to see pics of this!
Maybe you need to do a tutorial on your fancy footwork for the rest of us! : ) Have fun and enjoy the fact that you are the cool mom who joins in on the fun.
so cool. i wish my husband were greek. then i'd most DEFINITELY be getting myself to santorini and mykonos and the like pretty soon. i think i will either way but i mean, it'd be a must if he were greek.
neat post .. and i loved your background music :) soooo fun!
The background music makes me want to get up and dance!
I want to go to Greece SO SO SOOOOO bad. Your post is not helping my obsession. Also I really want my girls to play football. Like bad. I don't think it's going to work out for me.
Ohh ... I'm loving that little greek village ... ssooo lovely!! How cool that you have a rich cultural heritage to share with your kids. That's pretty special.
Yeay for football season! I can not wait (my husband can not wait) until our little guy is old enough to play football...but that will mean he is growing up so nevermind lol! Love the first photo! What a beautiful picture!
i love that you are teaching and embracing your kids' heritage! thanks for the follow and for entering my giveaway. i've been a fan from afar for a little while...but now i'm officially following!
blessings friend,
andi @ the hollie rogue
have i mentioned lately how COOL YOU ARE?
i am pumped about this fancy greek dancing.
and hooray for football! xo
That is so sweet. :) I'm sure they are your biggest fans, too. You're adorable. xoxo
Heeeeeey, those skirts are great! ;0) Seriously, though, how cool that you are teaching your kids all about their ancestors! And I think it's great that you're dancing with them. You kiddos may not be so into it now, but when they get older they'll appreciate all the quality time you spent with them!
