Here's a cute video that was featured in our local paper recently (in case you want to learn how to dance like Beyonce (-:

It's L's turn to bring a snack in for work, so I got some healthy snacks for everyone. She says 'Mom, thanks and all that, but these are teenagers, I thought you knew they just like junk'. So I told her to just blame it on her mother then.
We decided to invite 2 families over on February 14th, as it's a long weekend for us. We had a lovely time last summer at one of their cottages. Turns out Valentine's Day won't be a good date as one of the men thought it wouldn't go over well with his wife! I guess you have to be sensitive to these things as romance is still alive. The Autoshow is also on that weekend, and K loves this event.
It's a gorgeous, sunny day today although I have yet to step outside. K went off excitedly to his friend's 14th birthday party and warned us to not pick him up even a minute early. Two rambunctious boys were left off the list, so it may be a bit boring! One boy apparently threw tomatoes in the house last year and the poor mother discovered some under the couch cushions quite a few weeks later.
I just made a baked crab dish that's calling to me.

Mmmm. Baked crab! Recipe please?
And nightmare about those tomatoes. I bet it smelled bad!
What do 14 year olds do for parties in your town? I am looking for ideas. Roxi's BD is this Wed, but we probably won't do a party until later in Feb. Too many things going on right now...
Hi Christine,
Hope the party went well. I remember boys' parties very well. For us they progressed from sorting out a mass of arms and legs rolling about the floor to having to sober up one twelve year old before we could let him go home(We always stayed in but kept in the background and it didn't occur to us to examine their bags when they came in) It was terrible and the boy himself was very ashamed and apologetic. We still see him now and he's in his forties !
Happy Bday to Roxi! Jan 28 is also my sister's bday, we're doing sushi on Thurs. You know, K's friends at the moment seem to like house parties and sleepovers. The girls might like makeup and manicure type parties as well (a little Rockband thrown in?). Also, I don't think girls tend to trash a house!
Barbara, I guess these boys all grow up to be mature men in later life! K had so much fun at the party, it's just about spending time with your own age group.
Thanks for the Crab recipe! I have filed it away for future use :-) BTW, for some reason, I couldn't leave a comment on your post above.
And can you believe only one of Roxi's friends likes to play Rockband? Everyone else thinks it's too hard. Of course, her friends back in Texas LOVE Rockband and Guitar Hero. Oh well. I think we'll do an outing after school one Friday of dinner and a movie. And then maybe a sleepover with a smaller number of kids.
Japra, sorry about the comments, I've been messing up. Interesting about Rockband, it's a big hit here also with the kids. Must be a cultural thing. Well, dinner and movie sounds good.
