Sighs of depression and teeth

Yuck.  School starts a week from this Monday and it's a very depressing thought....  I don't wanna go back to school!!  It was easier when I was in 1st grade and 2nd grade and 3rd grade and 4th grade and 5th grade and 6th grade and so forth and so on.... Not really sure that I'm ready to start college suchins and apply for scholarships and stuff like that.  Not fun.  Lacey is excited and so is Sydney and Hannah is thrilled that she gets to continue her "school" with Grandma.  Gabe is excited for the most part and all I am excited about is the football games :) That's it.  No more.  Actually I really am excited for my last hour cause it's an off campus release and I don't have to go to class 6th hour the WHOLE YEAR LONG!!!! Yay!!! Not excited for the homework and not excited for the studying (that I really don't do much of at all anyways so I guess it doesn't matter THAT much...) 

On another thought.... Hannah "lost" a tooth.  She came back from visiting Grandma and Grandpa George and someone had given her the brilliant idea of giving a fake tooth to the Tooth Fairy and tricking her.... We aren't sure if it is going to work or not especially since she decided that one tooth to lose isn't enough but loosing three teeth might just do the trick.  She went to go make the teeth out of paper and I thought why not use the most unused crayon in the box....  so we cut three chunks of the white crayon off and she has a little holder that she is carrying around.  I wonder if the Tooth Fairy will decide to be "tricked" for this brilliant thought of genius.... We shall see.

Girls Camp at Darby



This week was the last official week that I have to go anywhere.  I can finally just stay home and do what every teenager would love to do.... work.  Ok so it's really not what we all would love to do during the summer but this month is the last month that I can work during the day and so therefore, I am booked.  This last week Lacey and I (Ha ha!!! That's proper English and that doesn't happen often!!!  Victory!) went to Girls Camp at the same old place that we always do... Darby.  This was my last year (YES!!!) and Lacey's first (of many) girls camp.  We did have a quite fun time and it really wasn't a bad way to end girls camp for me even though there have been a couple that have been much better then this one.... but it most definitely was NOT the worst :)  I bought the gross hillbilly teeth at Wal-Mart so all of our leaders and my friend Lindsey and I (as YCLs we got them too) had teeth and we all had names... Yours truly was dubbed Bukweet (and yes that is how we spelled it) and Lacey was Yeller.  Then there was Eunice, Spud, Homer, Bertha May, Mambi, and Black Velvet.  We all made very lovely hillbillies especially with our teeth and accents.  Ahhh good old girls camp I'm glad that I won't have to see you again.... at least not as a young woman.  We also dressed up like 80s workout girls for our skit that I have to say that I quite enjoyed being an 80s girl... The big hair was very spiffy.... Here are some pics that Lacey took... they are just dandy.. 
Me feeling very awesome in my 80s outfit... I was the workout instructor :)
