Goofballs

For a variety of reasons, I have been thinking a lot about the future lately. How will my actions now affect Lucy and Caroline later in life? I don't mean to get all philosophical right now, but go with it.

A former administrator of ours once told me and Steve that he only had 3 rules for his children:

1.  Be nice.
2.  Be honest.
3.  Don't whine.

I have always liked these rules. They cover so many situations no matter what age you are, and if my girls are following these rules then I will almost always support their decisions. 

This really is all I want out of my girls. I joked with a colleague today that I just wanted the girls to graduate from high school and not get arrested in the process.  Clearly I was kidding, but as long as my girls are good people who are nice to others and try to make the world a better place does it really matter whether or not they go to an Ivy League school?


Then again, with goofballs like these two, are Ivy League schools really going to be a possibility?

 




















Time will tell.  In the meantime, Steve and I will do our best to show them right and wrong.  Some of it will stick and some of it won't, but those goofballs will know that they are loved.
