There's not much to say but WOW! This weekend was one fore the books- 33 hours without sleep, on my feet at least 18 of them, and a final reveal of over $1 Million raised for the second year in a row!! I've got to get back to reality now with an exam tonight before I drive back home for a wonderful Thanksgiving break :)
I hope you had a great weekend, but I can almost be sure it wasn't as good as mine LOL!
I've talked a lot lately about my love of Riley Hospital and the Dance Marathon
I guess it's because I'm constantly searching for inspiration and a way to help/ inspire others that I find this cause so appealing. Or maybe its because it helps makes the lives of children- children who have been through 35 surgeries, chemo, etc- and their families easier. The children are happy and fearless. And even though we are supposed to be the ones raising the money and saving their lives,
they are the ones who are changing lives.
It was a long marathon: 18 hours through the night! By the end, I was seeing people fall asleep standing up and everyone was a little bit slap-happy. But nothing hurts and nobody is tired when they see $1 Million raised in one year! We set the record for dance marathons and are now in the top 5 fundraisers for Riley Children's Hospital!
even though I am still recovering, I already can't wait to start up again and
this weekend is going to be one that focuses on the kids
The Riley Dance Marathon- a huge fundraiser for Riley Children's Hospital- has dictated all plans this weekend. I'll have the chance to meet some seriously inspiring Cancer fighters, play games, and just make them feel like the heroes that they are! I kindof love kids... or other people's kids, I should say. The best pictures and videos are of kids just being the unguarded kids that they are!

If you've been on the internet at all lately, I'm sure you've seen what I have- the stylish kids, the crying kids, everything! Since these images and videos have been on my radar for a while, I thought I'd share a few of my favorites.
my parents actually did this to my sister and I once... I wonder if they took video?
Seriously?! When did children-as-little-adults become okay? They're obviously adorable and almost too much to handle, but what happened to torn jeans and t shirts? Oh who am I kidding.. I'd dress my kids like this too.
