Sadie Hawkins 2015

Wordless Wednesday (double click on any photo to make it bigger)

I'm Alive!

It's true!  I'm alive.  I wish I could say the reason I haven't blogged all week is because I've been glued to my couch, unable to do anything except to relax, read, and eat Bon-Bons. The truth is I've been running around like a turkey with it's head cut off (pun intended). 

So just in case you missed me and have been suffering withdraws from lack of super interesting informative post this past week, let me recap.

I. Last week was Sadie Hawkins.  

Just look at this adorable group of guys and girls!

They came to our house for a "Make-Your-Own-Pizza" date before the dance.

(more on this later)

II. Last week we also moved Gram again.  

She moved from HERE to a brand-spankin' new place 2 blocks down the street.  It's super nice.  The staff is incredible, and she's getting more bang for her buck!

It was very fortunate for us that the night we moved her stuff in was PIE NIGHT at the assisted living center.

 

When #3 was little, he used to always write, say, type, sing, sign: "I like pie."  

Needless to say, he likes pie, and was very happy to be rewarded for his service with pie.

III.  Last but not least, basketball has begun.

#4 is playing on an accelerated league, and the season is in full swing!

I've also been busy helping with Thanksgiving activities at the elementary school, trying not to go crazy figuring out this years Christmas gifts, and cleaning -always cleaning.

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!  I'll post more about ours next week.  I'm so grateful for all my blessings, and the God who gives them all.

Just Dance

We've been in total dance mode around here this past month.

First we had Sadie Hawkin's (Girl's Choice).  Why they chose to do Sadie's before Homecoming, I'll never know.

 #2 used this cute "I'D BE A DING DONG IF I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO THE DANCE!" idea from lilluna (thanks lilluna) to ask her date, 'JB', (the nickname we gave him) to the dance.

His answer was found in this gigantic cake.

 -Cut the cake to find your answer-

 and that she did

 After a little digging she found it. . . . 

 YES! 

This was definitely the funnest idea yet. 

 .   

The theme for the dance was Grease (you know, as in the movie),

The dance took place on a "Su-hum-mer ni- hite"

For their matching outfits, they decided to go with 50's black 'Greaser' t-shirts and jeans, which made it super easy to Hand Jive in.

Doesn't this photo just scream 

We go together like rama-lama-lama-ka-ding-it-ty-ding-de-dong!

Okay, enough of the bad Grease puns

 Before Sadie's even came and went, this showed up at our house-

an invitation to Homecoming.  

This dance asking/answering is so much fun!

Her answer back:

"ICE CREAM YES!"  (Get it- I scream yes. . . )

Last Saturday we spent a long day shopping for a MODEST semi-formal dress.  We found two, which she is still deciding on.

Dress 1

Dress 2

Decision, decisions.  What's your choice?
