she went stagg

as a hippie with her girlfriends

bren and abbey

they went as soccer players

so fitting since abbey and the girls soccer team

just took state!

go vikings!

funny. but not really.

late at night when everyone is asleep

 B will actually talk.

words do come out of his mouth.

he informed me that he had his first visit

to the principals office.

12th grade first time.

apparently he and a buddy(spencer) thought

it would be funny to copy money

and set it on the floor in the commons area at school.

to see how many people thought they had just found  a 20.

not so funny.

3rd period he gets a note.

OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

not good.

i had one terrified, scared out of his pants teenager.

i can get so mad at this child and have plenty of times.

but when i saw the look of fear still

in his eyes

i knew i didn't need to get mad.

i just said

if you think something might be a bad idea

it usually is.
especially when it comes to counterfeit money.

seriously.
