Randy's brother Larry flew in last Friday morning to visit his son Gifford and to spend the day with Randy. They took Gifford out to lunch, then went shooting (they're both gun geeks), then hung out talking for hours before going to dinner, then coming home to talk until 2:00am.
My mom stopped by with Andrew so she could measure and pin Whitney's new school pants that need hemming. It was a bonus to have a few minutes with Andrew.
Whitney and I went to her back-to-school open house for 6th grade! I'm in a major time warp and can vividly remember going to the open house for kindergarten so this has my head spinning! Whitney had a hard time filling out this Personal Interests sheet her teacher requested. I had some goal suggestions for her, but she doesn't want to do them so she added the very generic "getting things done." We'll see how that goes.
After doing a major stock-up at Costco, Whitney and I got some Cafe Rio take-out for dinner. Landon only had a half hour left of football practice so we had a little picnic while we watched his practice since there really wasn't enough time to go home and back.
It was a beautiful evening and perfect weather, so it ended up being pretty good entertainment.
Whitney is looking so old to me!

Oh man. A good brother is a lot.
Whitney is so grown up to me, too. I'm glad she listed doodling as a hobby. It's not only a hobby, it's a talent, too.
How's work going?
That is funny Randy and his brother went shooting. I just don't get the appeal of that but I know it's a man thing. Guns scare me.
I can't believe my Luci is in 6th grade either. Luci looks SO much younger than her peers which is fine by me! She went to a B'day party Saturday and the girl's parents had a limo bus take 30 kids bowling in New Orleans and I wondered when did I become old enough to have a child that can do that!? I was a nervous wreck the whole time even though it was well supervised.
Oh and Whitney's sheet is cracking me up...her favorite colors, the "nothing really intrests me..." it is all hilarious! What a character.
I just keep coming back to Whitney's paper and I am literally laughing. Reminds me how Luci told the Head of middle school that she needed a math teacher that "isn't all fuzzy bunnies and rainbows, you know...I just want to be told what I need to do to get an A and be done with it." sure enough they gave Luci a schedule change so she got a math teacher that is all about business. I hope Whitney isn't forced into "all the history stuff" haha...
Getting things done is often one of my goals!
Whitney is so delightful to me. So her own person, and happy being herself. I love that! And yes, she is looking very grown up and pretty!
Good thinking taking a picture of Whitney's sheet! Hilarious. I love that all of her hobbies are art. She knows what she likes.
I'm scared of guns, too. And limo buses taking 30 kids to go bowling.
