10 Things I Remember From High School

1. Baggy jeans
2. Bangs
3. Pizza Hut breadsticks dipped in ranch/yogurt cones at McDonald's
4. Car accident with Danny
5. Feeling insecure & self conscious
6. "Eye Of The Tiger" in pregame warmups -sports in general
7. Fighting with my sister in our tiny bathroom/fighting with my sister over who had to go wipe snow off the car in the morning.(we really did become friends eventually)
8. AAU Basketball with Gina (getting a shot blocked into the bleachers in Chattanooga,TN, I'm sure the girl went on to play in the WNBA! Oh thats right they didn't have that back then.)
9. Waiting for boobs. They never came! ;0)
10. Getting up really early. (I had to fix my hair ya know) My Dad was always in the living room doing devotions.
11. Looking up to my big brother
12. The school -the gym, the locker room, Government with Mr. Byrd :0(
13. Emotions!

Oops that was 13!

I have lots of memories of highschool and jr high. Its such a strange time. I've been thinking about Anna & Alivia lately. I know they are only 5.5 and 4 but I worry about what school will be like for them. I hope that I can still remember what it was like for me and not be too sheltering --& trust that the Lord is guiding them. Its hard to imagine letting go that much in the next 7 or 8 years.

I'm sure you will be a wonderful mother of teenage girls! But it is a scary thought- trying to protect them from things- but not wanting them to live in a bubble.

What's this?

I'm not sure if you realized it or not but we have a couple of gourmet chefs living at our house! I'm sure you're all jealous!

Chocolate with???

Chocolate with???
Alivia worked on this for about half an hour and then decided she should taste it. I wish I'd gotten a pic of her face. She was so perplexed about why it didn't taste like the brownie mix we had made the day before. After all it was full of cocoa!

Dough?

Dough?
Anna was determined to make dough. She couldn't believe how much flour she had to add. With every scoopful she got more and more excited about her creation!

Yum! Yum!

Yum! Yum!
I'm sure you're all cringing. Especially Grandma. ;0)

the girls weren't too excited about cleaning up(even though they assured me they would). but with a little help from some music, some "magic" clean up chocolate and mom they did a good job!
