Works for me.....

I cut back my hours at work.....today was my first day. I think Buddy celebrated my newfound freedom rather well....

So all in all a super fantastic, off tomorrow too, day!

Scouts honor....

Don't let this goofy face fool you, he's on his way to scouts where.....for the past month they've been building a skateboard ramp. Today is the day for breaking in the ramp! He even made me make a special pit stop to pick up his favorite two boards!

So all in all a super fantastic, putting on a goofy show, day!

Prom...enade?

I finally got to go to the prom.....as a chaperone with actual responsibilities.....

 Thank goodness I take my job seriously.....

 Thank goodness my co-worker/hot date does too....

 We were like social napalm, wherever we went, the kids parted. I think it was quite effective shattering the hopes and dreams of many a high schooler! In other news, Buddy babysat.....

 and by the looks of that cloud formation, the aliens have landed!

So all in all a super fantastic, I can't wait for my professional prom pictures to come in, day!

Responsible...

While I was at work, Buddy was working too....

Sadly, one of our job sites didn't provide food....(that would be Buddy's, ha). Buddy came home saying they put the food away while he was working.....poor baby!!!! So all in all a super fantastic, had to starve for two whole hours, day!!!

Why does a nose run and feet smell????

Buddy's twin arrived back in town last night.  His mom had to work today, since it was a teacher workday.....we, thankfully,  did not! Well, unless we're calling the boys modeling jobs work??

 Nope, definitely not work....unless we are now calling the boys squinting to try to see two feet in front of them....but then again, I think that just may be Buddy's face!!!

So all in all a super fantastic, we get tomorrow off too, day!

Another story....

Buddy went to Youth Conference last night, the only thing I got out of him before he went to lay down was that he had an "okay" time. The pictures tell another story....

When he did wake up he told me how 100 boys slept in a big room and had a sheet and pillow fight and a fart war and was giggling the whole time about it.....but we'll stick with the "okay" time that he had. So all in all a super fantastic, I stole these pictures off the internet, day!

Fantastic fun....

We made it to Waimanu again for spring break, we even survived coming back. This year we added two new kids to the bunch and I am so happy we did! They were fantastic fun.....I think I stayed awake waaaay too late listening in on the kids punny jokes!

Other fantastic things included a kayak that washed ashore to our campsite....It had a huge hole in the back, but we made it work. Shane even took me out for a ride towards the waterfall in the back. We ALMOST made it all the way back before we had to bail out of the sinking ship and dump it....

 Someone had left crawdad nets and traps out which the kids made full use of....

Cache brought some fishing line and someone left a pole behind for some fancy fishing....

Buddy got to use his fancy lighter and make a fancy fire. Sadly, everything was wet so it didn't last super long....but his trying sure did.........

Shane finally got to be in a Waimanu picture, he looks pretty enthused about it too....

 As you can see, this is us hiking out, so I don't know if he started smiling because he was enjoying himself, or if he's smiling because he knows he's finally done with the torture......

Either way, it was fantastic fun, and the horrible mom in me made Buddy go to Scouts as soon as we got home (okay, I'm not that horrible, I let him shower). Thankfully, they were doing a gun safety class so Buddy didn't complain too much...that is after he came back anyway. The also horrible mom in me made him wake up at the butt crack of dawn to go to Youth Conference where he has been helping a farmer tear down a fence all day, and he'll be camping again tonight!!!!! Oh well, you're only under 18 once  so your mom can torture you with her life decisions! So all in all a super fantastic, I'm sure Buddy is tired, but I've got a lot of stuff done today, day!
