So, the blog has been neglected. The winter has been busy. And hard. Mostly hard. Maybe some day I'll blog about it ... anywho ... here we are. Three months later. And, there has been lots going on.
We celebrated the 100th day of school. Dean was once again Zero the Hero. He really is my hero ... for more reasons than that he dons a cape and mask once a year. My kids LOVED it!
One of them even drew a picture of him ... which I loved. And, I think she totally got him.
So, the garage. Yeah. This was the before of my school stuff. Actually, it was worse. I took this after I had started to move some things.
And, the after. I can actually find what I need quickly. There are a few things in the picture that needed to be donated and put up in the attic, but, it is so much better!
We watched the Patriots lose the Super Bowl. We don't talk about it anymore. Mostly because we are all still in therapy.
Wash your feet day happened in Kindergarten. Still my favorite day in Bible.
I cleaned out the pantry. And, since it took all day, it deserved a picture on this post.
Dean has traveled quite a bit. When he leaves us, trouble ensues. Which is how I knew this picture happened on a day that he was gone ... that and the fact that Torrey and I only feed the dogs when he is gone. Which may explain why they love him so much.
We went to Florida for Spring Break. When we landed at the airport we saw them filming this guy while we waited for bags. Common known fact ... I am nosy. I asked why ... it was for the Southwest Airlines show on one of the cable channels (FYI ... it is hilariously funny) They saw him in the airport with the cowboy hat and thought, "He looks different" and had to ask him, "WHY?" He was on his way home from the Houston Rodeo. And, I guess we have lived in Texas for awhile because I thought it was completely normal that he was wearing the cowboy hat.
We call Caroline many things ... Cars being one of them. When we saw this sign on the sidewalk we made her get on the ground to take her picture. We thought we were quite clever. The guy who ran the train nearby did not. He thought she fell and asked us (more than once) if we needed to call someone ... as in an ambulance. He must have thought we were off our rockers because we laughed ... a lot.
We were in Florida during the Strawberry Festival in Plant City. Which meant a short drive for the biggest and yummiest strawberry shortcake ever. The line was ridiculously long ... but, totally worth it!
And, lucky us ... we were there in time to see the Strawberry King and Queens!
A too-short trip to Orlando meant breakfast with Torrey's girl Ellie ... buddies since Kindergarten! We also spent time with Gretchen and the Chevalier gang. So fun.
Torrey turned 16 in March. I'm OK now ... seriously, folks, therapy is a good thing!
The time change means we get to school when the sky looks like this. So beautiful!
There was a night of prom dress shopping. Which meant taking pictures and sending them to my sister for her help. She thought Torrey looked like a cupcake in this one.
This one was a contender ... it was super cute on her.
But, this dress was the winner ... she did say everyone kept "petting" her skirt at prom, though.
And, here she is ready to head out the door. She got her hair done by our girl, Dawn and her makeup was done at the Mac Store by Shakespeare. Funniest comment of the afternoon was her announcing, "It is Shakespeare and Dawn from now on!"
Our Dyson vacuum cleaner died this week. It is our second one to die ... they both lasted about a year or so. Anyways, we went with an Electrolux. Hopefully it will last longer. While Torrey was getting ready, Dean pulled it out of the box and did a small area on the family room rug. And, disgustingly this is the dirt and dust he got out of rug. It would appear that we didn't vacuum our carpet ... ever. Um, sadly, that is not so. Vacuuming has become our new family fun ... we are sort of fighting over who gets to vacuum!
And, these are the flowers Torrey got from her date to the prom. They are quite lovely.
And, that, kids is an iPhriday catch up. Happy iPhriday!
