That time Kezia and her friend took the van to go thrifting and then came back to school to pick me up from work.

First time voting for this 18 year old...

That time I looked at the clock in my classroom at my school during afternoon recess and I wished I could be a fly on the wall in Starbucks at the university....

We did some errands today and one of them was stopping at the University to get Kiandra's student ID card.

That time Kiandra went to University orientation:

Conrad snapped this milestone this evening while I was at the Festival of the Arts at our school with Kaden. Tonight was Kiandra's last high school band concert.

That time my friend who works at the airline dropped off these boarding passes for Kiandra's adventure tomorrow...

This guy had his "welcome to high school" meeting with the principal this afternoon. He may be ready...but his Mom is not.

What have I done? Ticket for 1 is booked for an adventure...

While I was away with my teacher peeps, there was some excitement at home too. Kaden had his first friend group gathering at our house for pizza and a movie with both boys and girls in attendance yesterday. Today Kiandra's friend Chase came over to officially ask her to go to grad with him (they decided to go together a long time ago already but everyone kept bugging him that "so are we going to grad, or what?" was not an official invitation.) He bought her her favourite Starbucks drink and had the barista write this on the side:

She said yes! I'm so thankful for the friends that my kids have.

That time I helped Kiandra fill our scholarship applications and when I noticed the spot for the parent/guardian signature and asked if she wanted me to sign it...she said "no, I can just sign it" and I realized she was right....she doesn't need an adult's signature anymore....she IS an adult. *ack!*

Kaden spent some of his dog walking and flyer money to buy a phone today. We will take over paying for the plan in August (just like we did for the girls when they started high school) but the deal he got made him decide to get it now and just pay for it himself. His ipod that he bought years ago stopped working and this became the logical upgrade in his mind.

Another package of Grad proofs arrived in the mail today....

How can this be?

While we were out at Kaden's hockey game, Kiandra was surprised by her friends Kara and Ally with these early birthday cupcakes. I had to do a double take at the 18! *ack!*
