The unthinkable!

While we were in the process of getting the mirror site set up here at our new home, and I moved our entries, and prettied up the site and started getting PTB up on it’s own two feet again… My daughter did the unthinkable on August 4th.

She turned 15.

I’m sure you understand when I tell you that this? is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! It’s every bit as unacceptable as the fact that my oldest is about to start school as a SENIOR in High School! I’m not sure how they got to be so old when I’m still 16, but I suppose it happens.

Peppermist’s birthday was a lowkey affair, with a promise to get her a gift when she decides what the heck she wants. She had her besties over – The Twins and the Two Ms – and they lounged in her newly cleaned room (The Twins and Peppermist had spent 3 days cleaning and even cleaned the carpets!) chatted, munched on junk food, and giggled.

There was LOTS of Giggling.

A party at Auntie’s house, complete with cake, extra icing and popcorn that ended up with a massive food fight with Auntie at the help and me and Nana staying well out of the way, and – made the day extra special, and homey. It just goes to show that all the expensive gifts in the world aren’t what makes a birthday fun – it’s time with family and friends…

…and Rockband. 🙂
