Kathryn was going to have Skye curl her hair for the school dance yesterday but she decided to wear it straight instead, so I straightened it for her. Skye came over anyway to hang out with her, so that was nice. I really like Skye, she's got a great personality and can be real goofy which is fun. Skye went with me to drop Kathryn off at her dates house, and we ended up staying and visiting with his mom and helping Michael put the finishing touches on his costume. They looked so cute together and had an absolute blast last night. Kathryn was on cloud 9 all night, it made me happy for her. She really needed last night cause she's been having stress from so much homework and struggling in her chemistry class. She's been so blessed because she's never really had to work at school, and has always gotten A's, or an occasional B. Everything has always come so easily for her, so I don't think she really knows how to handle not doing great in all her classes. She's just having to try a little harder now.
I didn't take very good care of our orange tree last year, so not surprisingly enough it didn't give very good fruit this year. Much to our disappointment because we sure enjoy being able to go out into our backyard and pick an orange off of our tree and eat it. Thankfully our next door neighbor did take cake of her tree and was nice enough to let us pick the oranges from her tree that hung over our side of the wall. So I think I learned my lesson....trees need water. A lot of water in Arizona.
Alexander was outside messing around in the backyard today when he noticed a little bird on the ground. We aren't sure what was wrong with it, if anything because after he posed for pictures he just flew away. The kids all thought that it was pretty cool, but Alexander started worrying about it saying he hoped it wasn't hurt or anything. He's such a tender hearted guy.
