Prom

Jesper went all out for Prom and rented a white tux. He had to add the showy top hat, cane and gloves and really hammed it up for the camera. He was the only one that I saw with the hat and cane. All the boys wore sunglasses for some reason. Jesper said something about 'cool without the sun' I don't get it. His date was his friend Michelle and they had a great time. We started out taking pictures at home, went to Michelle's for more pictures and then went to someone else's house for even more pictures and people.
There were about 40 to 50 kids in all, plus parents. The big yellow party bus arrived to whisk them off to the Sculpture Gardens and dinner, then finally the dance. After the dance, an after Prom party was at yet another house where the kids stayed all night. Jesper called about 9am this morning, wanting to come home and sleep.

Spring Has Arrived

Spring has finally arrived here in Minnesota. The snow has melted, except for the snow mountains in the store parking lots. The grass is greening up. We had a beautiful day yesterday, although very windy. It brought the warm air though, so we can't complain.

I know it is spring, since I am back working at the Twins and Jesper is out golfing on the team. He has his 1st meet today on the JV. I am sure he will work his way up to Varsity very soon. Monday I hope, since there is a meet at the U and I can go after my class! I can get some golf pictures then, that would be great!

Most things are day to day stuff, although Jesper just got back from Chicago where he met him mother, Eva, for a few days of sight seeing and just having fun. I have posted the pictures, so take a peek.

Prom is this Saturday, so look for those pictures. I will get them on as soon as possible!

A lot of Homework

It has been a busy week this past week. It is the last week of the quarter and Jesper is catching up on all the homework he missed when he went on this USA discovery trips! That also meant that I got to correct the grammar in a couple papers he wrote. The last of them were done on Wednesday night to turn in on Thursday. Jesper is recooping by sleeping in today, since they have no school. Man, they get a lot of days off!
We started off the week with Jesper playing on his indoor soccer team. The boys did really well. I think they won 8-2. Jesper scored 3 goals, including a very exciting goal where he was just playing footsy with the ball, since no one was guarding him.
Monday brought the Twins Home Opener. We enjoyed the return of Torri Hunter, who now plays for the Angels. Twins won the game and we were all very happy to have a dome stadium since it snowed about 8 inches during the day and the game. It was a little icey leaving the game though!
With the Twins back in action, I am back at work, so that means, Jesper is on his own for dinner a lot. He has discovered Mac and Cheese, yuk! Well, he likes it. Golf is also keeping him busy. They make cuts to the team on Tuesday, so Jesper is going to take a golf lesson to help his slice. Hope all goes well with that! We will find out on Tuesday if he makes the team. (I am sure he will!)
