Prom?

Strider and I are having a blast with this kid.  Prom is a short 3 weeks away, so he asked his date this morning.  

All he needed was a bouquet of flowers, a t-shirt and a Sharpie.

Easy peasy!  And she said YES. 

The answer

Well, he's a boy.

Here's what he chose:

front

back

Over the weekend he went to a game night/party at this girl's house.  He took this poster in his bag, and right before he left for home, he snuck into her bathroom and put it over the toilet.  Ha ha ha.

A new phase

My potter is less than a month from being 16, which means he'll be dating soon.  (!)

A week ago we were startled by a loud pounding on the door at 9:30pm.

  

Strider flipped on the light and lit up a whole porch full of balloons!  How cool!

It's a tradition in Utah to do cute ways of asking for dances and 'big' dates.  It's a Mormon thing.  There's a casual dance called "Sweathearts" (not to be confused with a formal Sweethearts dance) at the high school up here.

  It happens to be a short 2 days after this guy is the big 16.  Well isn't that convenient!

Awww :)

I was giddy.  We brought them all in and he got to work popping them and separating out the glow sticks that had letters on them.  Then unscrambled to reveal a name.

Teens rock.  I'm so excited!  

Oh, and so is he.
