Excuse me...what?
Time sure is a thief. Carter is knocking on the door of his senior year, so I figured it was time to do a college campus tour. They really did a great job, and holy moly has a long changed since I went to BSU! I We had a great time exploring with our guide and group, and came back with more info than I anticipated. I cannot believe we are almost to college. Where does the time go?!
Before my parents abandoned us for The Cook Islands for the remainder of the year (just kidding, though it DOES feel like it...are you EVER coming home???), we got together to celebrate my mom's birthday. Carter, Addie, and Kendall made the mistake of commenting on all of the pictures on the fridge about how nobody has braces anymore, hairstyles are different, etc., because you can BET I made them march out back for an updated, informal picture. Take that, turds. Mom always wins.
Last year, Randy and his girls introduced Kendall to thrifting and they absolutely created a monster. I think she has gone once or twice since then, but last weekend, I got to witness the creature in her natural habitat. I do think she was on the lookout more for boys, a/k/a "fine shyts"...I'll let you guess just how much I love that phrase, than she was clothes. However, she actually made a really good haul! And then we added one last stop to our very exhausting day, which was getting her second piercings in her ears. She had herself all psyched-out, crushing my hands...but quickly realized that there was very little pain.
Sometimes, that's just the way it goes. Early on in January, when we normally head up for our annual sledding adventure, there just wasn't enough snow. So we waited...and waited...and waited some more. Finally, the first weekend in MARCH, we were able to make it happen. It was a warm day, with everyone quickly peeling off their layers. No fire needed. A full buffet of lunch and goodies. A good day was had by all!
