Loooooooking Goooooood!

Kees all dressed up for invitational dance... it was "lady's choice" night... I hear he was quite popular!

And what's with girls now-a-days?? Within 30 minutes of it being over he gets a call from one of the girls inquiring into whether he likes another girl or not... this is 6th grade! Kees' response: "leave me alone, I'm busy". I probably need to work on his smoothness some, LOL!

Cheaper gas and no lines...

We've got stations all over town with gas in the $2.89-2.79 range... and I saw today on TV that in other cities people are waiting in line as long as an hour for gas this cheap... wow!

This summer it cost almost $100 to fill up my car... now $60-something!

UPDATE 10/14: Now down to $2.38!

No more braces!

Second to last XC race

A few of her teammates said they were going to try to run with her... and they did... at the beginning at least.

Her two best friends, however, hung with her and shadowed here for the first mile... running on each shoulder. She knew she had to make them hurt to shake them so after the first mile every time the course went uphill she hammered it and began to stretch out a lead on them. It worked, and she took 15 seconds off her PR as well!

One more race: the city championships!

(One of her teammates was in the port-a-potty when the race started so he had to make up a lot of ground... I think he still finished top-20!)

A long, long, time ago ;-)
