The other night Ellie asked if she could take a shower & get ready for bed . . . it was only 7pm & that is rather unusual for her. After her shower I had a good look at her face & she had apparently been playing in her big sister's make-up & was trying to avoid trouble by taking a shower.
This wasn't a first for her. She was about 2 and all was quiet in the house . . . not a good sign, so I went on the hunt and this is what I found . . .
Austin has been on a roll with Cross Country lately. His coach told him that if he keeps up the way he has been lately he might make it to state. He's liking it so much that he might do it again next year instead of soccer. He's not winning anything . . . but he is improving dramatically on a regular basis & he loves that feeling! (Not to mention the abs . . . lol) We had a local meet yesterday and he took over 2 minutes off of his time.After the meet we hurried home to eat some dinner and change to head back to school for an induction into the National Honors Society ceremony. I don't know if they just do things differently here or what, because Scott and I were both in the NHS, but neither of us applied for it & there wasn't a ceremony or a club or anything . . . just a little card and the bragging rights.
I found Austin's application letter the night before it was due. It was the same night that he had run a meet and had a lot of homework. It was the same night that I layed into him about not applying for it. It was the same night that Austin wrote his essay and applied for the NHS.
They had a nice ceremony and the parents put a sash on the inductee. I totally missed my hug in public because I was trying to get a picture. DANG!
The big girls watched the little girls during the Cross Country meet (they came with us last time & I decided it would be better for all concerned if they stayed home this time!). When we came home I looked out the window and this was the sight I beheld . . .
Keep in mind that today was the first cold day of the year!!!Joslyn just had her 12th birthday. When I asked her what kind of cake she wanted she asked if she could decorate it herself. So I got it all put together for her & she decorated it.
Today my house is so cold inside and something about that makes me GIDDY inside!!!!!
