Today is the last time we will light the grill this year. We only use charcoal b/c DH hates propane so it takes longer then propane. We are making poppers, chicken, and I think hambergers for tomorrow. I can't wait. It is probably the last decent day to do it since it is dry (for now) and in the mid 60s. I love food from the grill so I have been thinking about it all day
Aaliyah ordered some green (non perscription) contacts and they came in yesterday. I am undesided how I feel about it. I wish she loved her brown eyes just the way they are but she thinks they are plain. I kind of understand. DH and I (both brown eyes) haven't set the best example b/c we both have used colored contacts (perscription) in the past. It's not a huge deal but at almost 14 years old I hope this doesn't lead to wanting to change other things about her looks. We are big on helping the kids love who and what they are without changes but on the other hand I don't want to make a big deal about this so she will want it even more. When she ordered them (with permission) I didn't think that much about it but as time goes on it is bugging me. We still have a few days till she can wear them since she already got them taken away for not turning in make up work at school. We aren't going to take them away but I am secretly hoping she doesn't like them. Is that bad? Would you let your 13.8 year old wear them if they wanted to?
