Teenagers

When you have four teenagers you have a lot going on in the house. I am happy however that I am a mom of these amazing four. Its funny how the week goes by and all the questions I get asked. Who every said that teens didn't want advice from their mother. I get asked questions all the time. Here are just a few that I can think of that happened in the past couple days.

• Does this outfit look ok? (Boy) My answer: Yes!
• Is my hair ok or should I put more gel in it? (boy) My answer: I think it looks good now don't put anymore because if the wind blows your hair wont move.
• Should I wear glitter eyeliner today? (girl...thank goodness) My answer: Sure if you want but just know I am doing it today too:)
• How should I ask her to prom? (boy) My Answer: First you have to ask her dad for permission which you already know. Then you have to make it memorable for her. Girls like that.
• Should I go with my friends to prom so it will be more fun? (girl) My answer: I think if you are going to have more fun going with a bunch of friends then do that.
• Are you sure my outfit looks ok? (boy) My answer: I specifically remember saying yes already.
• How do you know if someone is telling the truth? (boy) My answer: Parents always know! Even if you think they don't know. We do!
• What should I do for my first date? (boy) My answer: Make sure to open her car door because you are a gentleman. Your dad still opens my door after all these years. Movies are fun but make sure to get a soda or go to eat so you have time to talk. Probably a soda because she will say she isn't hungry.
• Do I look taller today? (boy) My answer: Honestly....yes.
• What is for dinner? (boys and girl) My answer: Not sure its only 11am but I will have it made by dinner time.
• Can we sleep in? (boy) My answer: As long as you get up when we say its time without being cranky.
• What is my curfew? (boy on first date ) My answer: Depends on what you are going to do. What time was the movie again?
• Where is the best place to get flowers? (boy) My answer: At Awesome Blossom as you want to shop local. Online can be hit or miss.
• Are you really sure my hair looks ok? (boy) My answer: YES! Do I look like I was lying to you the last two times you asked me?

I love having these teens. They  make my days complete. I really love when they ask for your opinion AND then do it too. Craziness! I remember being able to talk to my parents too. I like having an open door policy. I cant say that I wont be disappointed sometimes but I like that the kids can come to us and know we love them unconditionally no matter what. Its funny though because most of the stuff they come to us lately for is all the stuff that brings good memories for me when I was a teen. Gotta love it. The dates, Proms, friends, how we are always afraid of how we look, movies, funny teachers that they talk about at dinner, etc etc etc.....  Ahhh the good ol days! Except the only difference I think at this moment is our hair in the 80's WAS bad and DIDNT look good. HA! Cant wait to see what the next week holds on questions and answers.

Prom! The Roaring Twenties

Its that time of year again. PROM SEASON. This is our third year doing Prom and when I think about all four of my kids I still have 4 more Proms to go. That's Craziness.

Siblings Hope and Thomas with Siblings Jackson and Cassie

This year the theme was The Roaring 20's which I thought was nice and elegant. The Junior Class puts on the Prom each year. They pick the theme, decorate and get everything ready for it. Everyone did a great job. The set looked Amazing and the kids had a lot of fun. Since my oldest is a Junior this year that means we have 4 more proms to go.

This year only two out of the three kids that were in High School went. Jackson and Cassie decided to go with friends. Joshua said he "wanted to stay home, rent a tux and watch the notebook by himself". Ha! That kid cracks me up.

Cassie went to her friends house to get ready and had their dinner there before going to Prom. Jackson decided to go to the Prom dinner for the Valley with friends and then go to Prom.

It was a fun night of just dancing and hanging with friends. Jack was happy to not have to wear a tux since he didn't ask anyone to prom this year. It was a good evening. I cant believe next year I will have four going to prom. That's going to be an expensive one~! They had fun. I cant wait till next year when all four kids go!

 Thank you Jamie at Picture this Photography for the Amazing Prom Pictures too. She always does an amazing job at our Graduation and Family pictures also!
