Confounded

How languages are confounded. 

Cute Videos

The kids have little sayings. 

I find them funny!

I wanted to save a few. :)

I think the entire family knows all of these:

Bentley: "Mom, is 'appropriate' good or bad?"
Me: "Appropriate is good. Not appropriate is bad."
Bentley: "So, inappropriate is bad?"
Me: "Yes, Why?"
Bentley: "I was just wondering…"

lol The kid is 4!

(You can tell I tell him "That's not appropriate" a lot! haha I probably should have let him know what that means!! :O

Mom's Tricks

Tonight I was showing Bentley some new exercises I'm doing with the skateboard. He went into the other room and I continued doing the exercises.He looked in the mirror and saw me and said, " I see you doing tricks mom"! 

Lol they are exercises but it made me laugh!! I've apparently got some mean skateboard skills. 

Happy Spring Break

Today is the last day before Spring Break! 

*Bella came home from school and told me a kid jokingly (after being told by many of his classmates to be quiet and lastly told by Bella) told her he wanted to stab her. 

Not ok.

*Brae was supposed to go to the State Archery Competition yesterday. First off, the back of her Archery Shirt says "Nock 'em up one at a time". Nocks are the pieces at the end of an arrow but I was appalled that a school sponsored organization would be allowed to have such an innuendo on it. She brought the shirt home the day before competition. I felt all I could do at that point was tell her after competition she wasn't allowed to wear it. It's super unacceptable!

Not ok.

*Yesterday shortly after arriving to school Brae found out the Archery Team would not be traveling to Belton to compete because of the threatening weather (super cold in the 30's and threats of ice and snow into Belton). I was relieved because the thought of the bus driving in that made me a nervous wreck. We had already paid for her to participate. Some kids decided to go on their own yesterday to compete anyway. Today she text and called me from school to let me know that someone signed in under her name and competed as if they were her!!! Yeah, that's illegal. I am not happy about it. The main coach (who really cares about the team) has been out of town with another FFA team in another competition and is currently snowed in and unable to get home. Now we start Spring Break (WE NEED IT) so we won't know any details until he gets back. It was so wrong that someone competed as if they were her. 

Huh... not ok! haha 

Three strikes and we are out!!! Lucky for me I have actually had a great day today in spite of all this garbage that I don't know how to handle.

Ariel & Prince Eric

The youth dance last weekend was "Dynamic Duos". Braelyn and Dillon went as Ariel and Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. They looked adorable. Brae's hair was gorgeous red!

Picture doesn't do it justice.

P.S. It's about four weeks later now and I am still cleaning up red powdery substance from off this bathroom floor. I told her to spray her hair outside but she admits to "touching up the paint" in this bathroom. Red on the floorboards, red in the tile crevices, red in the grout, red around the toilet, red around… you get the drift) ;) 

Seventeen

My sweet girl turned 17 last week. She is now the age she will be when she moves out. I'm so proud of her. ❤️
