Where's Saturday??

No photos from Saturday...

Our high school football team advanced one more step toward the state tournaments.
Go Warhawks!
I was in Milwaukee taking photos at one of the catering venues.
Amanda went to Kendall's home and then to a Halloween party.
And Jake's crowd.... well they went to Kyle's home because his "cool" parents allow co-ed sleepovers. This is a big issue around here.
Co-ed sleepovers have been "in" for some time now......I can remember Candy's boys talking about them in high school - and they're 24 and 26 years old now.
I cannot believe how many kids have guys and girls stay over on a regular basis.
I don't want anyone under 18 over without talking to the parents. So the kids go elsewhere.
The same with smoking - a few of Jake's friends smoke and I make them leave my property. I don't want the responsibility, even though their parents know and approve of their habit.
All of my "rules" come with a lot static from the kids....
I constantly hear about how "every other" parent allows the things that I don't.
Teenagers are so much fun!

Co-ed sleepovers and smoking?!? They really need to get that anti-aging pill invented already. I'd give it to M&E so they could be my babies forever. I may not survive their teenage years.

You're awesome for sticking to your guns on this one. And from the looks of your blog posts, it seems to me you are definitely still one of the "cool" parents!
