Homecoming Hype and My New Best Friend

This week has been Homecoming week at LHS.  Around here, that means "spirit" is measured by class participation in dress-up days with Student-Gov-pre-determined themes.  Monday was TWIN DAY.  I borrowed a couple of pictures off of Lex and Shi's facebook to share, since for some reason I have been lax at using a camera this week.

 I'm not sure what "BRAH" means.  Lex says it's like "BRO" but I can't be certain.  I might have to google it.  

(FYI:  per google on urbandictionary.com it says, "This is the slang term for "bro" which is slang for brother...a slang inside a slang."  Originating in the state of Hawaii, it can be used as follows: 

 sup brah

howsit brah

ho brah where you stay)

You learn something new every day.

Shilo wasn't just a twin, she was a septuplet.

Yesterday was BILLIONAIRE DAY.
Lex didn't dress up, and Shi made an awesome t-shirt the evening prior...

 (Yes, she made it LATE at night - 11pm-ish - after swim practice.)

It turned out great, despite the git-'er-done-desperation-mode in which it was created.  My girls are way more talented than I could ever dream of being.

Today is TOY STORY DAY.  Lex went as Ham, Shi and Chey went as Slink.

No pictures.  Yet.

The Homecoming parade is this evening.  This will be the first time in 9 years that none of my children are in it.  Gosh, I don't even know if I need to go.  Mar likes the candy, and everybody likes a parade, so maybe we'll take a gander.  Maybe.

And my new best friend arrived today:

 The basement washing machine!!!  She's already working hard for me.  I need to give her a good name, since friendship longevity is my goal.  Any suggestions?

She fits nicely next to my old friend the dryer.  Next week the kids are on their own for laundry.
Woo Hoo!
