yesterday, after basketball... some how i won the draw and got these three boys for the afternoon. good, fun boys. however. they never stopped. {except for a brief moment for cade...when he gave me a hug. and, he smelled...like a boy.} it was an afternoon of football games, nerf gun wars, and hide and go seek.
other things in my world...
trying to figure out how to make mr. c's 50th special. {when he doesn't want or to do anything.}
growing my hair out. {yes, already.} if i can just get it all one length - i would be happy.
high school... we are touring, taking honors placement tests, and getting anxious. {ok. maybe i'm the only anxious one.} randi is hoping and keeping all fingers crossed she gets in to a local prep high school that we toured and LOVE. we will know soon. {i can't believe my sweet girl is going to high school!}
making the decision to switch schools for cade next year. it's time. it's been a tough year so far. he's good...just a bad class. time for a bigger environment.
movies and books... have seen a few of the oscar nominated movies: american hustle - liked captain philips - loved her - liked but, weird want to see wolf of wall street and nebraska.
reading - the book thief... good but, having a hard time finishing. {tempted to see the movie instead. shameful, i know.} best book read in the past year {or so}? the kitchen house. {perfection.}
and finally... i have come to the conclusion that i only want warm weather. we have had amazingly warm weather for janaury. {wonderful 80 degrees.} it dropped back down to the 60's this week. and. i don't like it. i know 60's is heaven for most of the country... but, 80's is sublime. i want to feel that warm sun on my face. i will take our miserable august/september over what the rest of the country is going through right now. bring on the warmth. {my daughter disagrees with me. completely.}
