The Sunny Side of Life!

Today I woke up with a screaming headache. You know, the kind where you just want to pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep for the day. I then started thinking about only four more days to spend with my Kade before it's goodbye for two years. I got up, looked outside at the non-sunny, smoggy day, took some Exedrin Migraine medicine (works wonders!) and decided I must seize the day. I got involved in laundry, keeping Sage and her friends busy playing school and helping Kade pack. Collin got asked to Preference a few weeks ago and the big night was tonight. Here in Utah, they not only go to the dance but they do a "day" date also. So--Collin was waiting for his date to pick him up for the day date (paint balling) when I looked down at his fingernails. Sage and her friend, Krisha, had pulled a prank on him the night before while he was sleeping and painted one hand of his fingernails.

He hadn't even noticed and was about ready to walk out the door looking like this!

Then it was a mad rush to find fingernail polish remover and get it off before his date showed up. This gave me a good laugh all day! Can you imagine Collin on his date with purple fingernail polish on?!

Tonight I got another good laugh. Collin was getting ready and Kade was in the bathroom helping him with his hair. They were trying all sorts of products and one of the hairsprays burned Collin's head! We all were laughing so hard! I've never heard of a boy doing another boy's hair for a dance!

The evening was a big success! Collin had fun and his date was adorable.

Another tradition is all the parents meet so we all can get a group picture! What cute kids.

So what started as a "sunny-side down" day became a "sunny-side up" one. It has felt good to laugh!

I'll write again soon!
