Girls Night

When Del decided to take the boys on a father and son campout two rainy, cold weekends ago, we decided to have a fun Girls Night! No boys allowed! We invited Susan and Layla over for a late night party and had a great time! We watched Mamma Mia (edited) and a collection of original ABBA music videos and sang along as loudly and off-key as we wanted to without any complaints from brothers! While we watched, we did facials...

and pedicures...I think we're going to do it again soon and do hair! My girls are really good at styling hair. Here's a style they created a few months ago involving an empty water bottle:

Aren't we cute? We could also do a Girls Night Fashion Show! Sunday, Grandma Nielson made my kids watch our old slides and the girls had lots of fun laughing at my 80's clothes! They decided they want to be Sally and Becky for Halloween. Great. Their clothes are good, but we'll have to work on 80's hair. They need some side ponytails or big bangs or something.

Our next night should be lots of fun! Call me if you want in on it!

Proud Parents!

Devin did it! Our amazingly talented, smart-alecky son did it! He graduated AND attended his Senior Prom! Who would have guessed? Well, graduating didn't surprise me, of course, because he's a bright kid, but the Prom date did!

Devin had a great time at his Prom with Justina Schmidt, a girl from his art class. From his awkward pose, I think he would have preferred it if her dress had sleeves! We decided to buy him a suit for his mission instead of renting a tux, and I think he looks very handsome.I love the group of friends Devin went with! They are fun and practical, so they decided to have dinner at Andrew Bringhurst's house (the boy in blue), which saved us all lots of money! Good kids! Andrew was an exchange student in Italy for a year, and he makes great Italian food.Several of these friends are theatre students, as you can tell from the way they posed in the last picture. They decided to look crazy, but there's no change in Devin. He told me he's crazy in spirit!
