June 11

This evening Chip asked me if I went by the Goodwill today. I said "No, why?" He responded in all seriousness, "Because I need some clothes for the social tonight." We just cracked up. I thankfully have not had to dress up for any theme socials in a few years. They usually start around 7:30 pm. Kids' bedtime. The kids and I were usually standing around at the beach project watching everyone poor out of their rooms in their "finds" from the local Panama City Beach Goodwill stores--kept in business only by the thousands of dollars spent by Summer Beach Project students over the past 20+ years.

Ella was about 10 months on this project. She was too clueless to know what was going on. Streed was 2 1/2 and was a little scared by Chip's appearance. I must say there were some seriously scary college students dressed as geriatrics on this particular night in 2007. Here is what the kids looked like watching everyone scurry on their way to their fun night of geriatric bingo.

I'm laughing at that conversation- I can just hear Chip saying that. Aren't you glad you have THREE bedrooms, awesome air conditioning and nice bathtubs for the summer?!!!! Not to mention your hubby home at night! You've earned this summer. :)

I STILL love seeing all of Ella's rolls...love a chubby baby! That picture of Chip, however, scared me too...I'm just saying. :)
