I went to bed last night in 2011 and woke up in the 80s!!

What can I say?  Abby has a unique style.  She has always marched to the beat of her own drum and it is one of the things that I love the most about her.  So I wasn't totally shocked when this is what she was wearing when she came downstairs for church this morning...

You have to appreciate the shoes...

Yes, those are sequins.

She had the whole pink jeans and black skirt thing going on.

Here's the back of the outfit...

All she needed was a can of Aqua Net and a side ponytail!!

That's my sweet, sweet Abby!

I just don't understand....mismatched socks???

First it started off with wearing flip flops that did not match.  For example, she might wear an orange flip flop on her left foot but a green flip flop on the right foot.   

We have now progressed to the same thing but with socks.

Here are Anna's feet before leaving for school this morning.  Notice anything odd?

It's not like the girl doesn't have any socks that match...here's the proof!!

These are socks that I just matched this morning.  But...here's how she would prefer to have them

In fact, she has asked me to not match her socks anymore because she prefers to wear them all mixed up. I don't know if she is just being lazy or being creative :-).

I just don't understand....I guess I am getting old!  It could always be worse...no use in fighting over mismatched socks...right???

Eating, Breathing, Sleeping, and DREAMING Soccer

Abby eats, breathes and sleeps soccer.  Here's a little more about that

Eating, breathing and sleeping SOCCER

But last night, she took it a bit farther.   After a particularly intense soccer game, I went in to check on Abby before I went to bed as I always do.  She was covered up and all seemed great.  I bent down and kissed her forehead and she grunted at me.

"Abby is everything okay?" I asked her.  She replied with more grunts.

"Abby, are you alright?" I asked again.

"GET TO THE BACK POST" was her yelled reply.

I guess all that coaching is paying off :-).  She was definitely protecting that goal!!
