Homecoming.

 I had one very nervous boy on my hands yesterday afternoon. On the drive down the hill to pick Emma up, there was much discussion about how and when to give her the corsage... "Do I hand it to her immediately when she opens the door? Do I wait until she comes out? Will she invite me in?" So many questions...
 And then she wasn't quite ready... so the anticipation grew...
 But eventually she came out (beautiful!) and he managed to fumble and get the box open... all was good.
 At first they were a little akward...
 But then they started to relax and remember what good friends they are...



It was an 'epic-ly epic' night, according to Kyler's Facebook status.

I'm so glad he had so much fun...

They went to a friend's house before the dance where there were some kids who weren't going to the dance and a few that were... the moms worked together to make them all dinner - pulled pork sandwiches with homemade onion rings... salads and fruit and chips and soda... Kyler managed to eat it all without spilling on his clothes.

Then I took them to the dance.

Then they all came here and watched High School Musical.

Asia and I were in the kitchen laughing... how many teenagers sit in a living room singing Disney movies at the top of their lungs after homecoming? So cute. It was quite the chorus with Kyler, Emma, their double dates, Savannah and Ethan all singing away...

Parenting is such a pleasure sometimes... last night was for sure one of those nights.

  4. what a wonderful memory for them and you! They are a cute couple. I also love to look at my daughter's Facebook status and see how she describes an event. What I love the most is that she often chooses a family picture for her profile! ;)

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
