I told you there had been some boy drama going on here...Hello. It's a doozy. Quite honestly I don't think I could explain half of it well enough for you to even follow. But I will try. You are getting the really really short version. Instead of naming the boys involved, for their privacy sake, I'll just number them boy #1, boy #2, boy#3, and boy#4...And they are in no particular order preference wise...just say'in...
It all started 3 weeks ago. {That would be a week before school even started} We had just gotten home from the Canyons and visiting grandma and grandpa when the door bell rang and this was on our porch.
Awe...so sweet! super sweet. Especially because Kyleigh loves One Direction so much. He and his helper {mutual friend Mercedes} used the lyrics from their hit song "What Makes You Beautiful"... "You light up my world like nobody else"...
They KNOW she loves the cookies from the Sweet Tooth Fairy. Like A LOT! He bought two to hold the number candles "one" and "seven" for his football number 17. She knew right off who it was. She was excited to be asked...Boy#1 is a great friend to her... but she was a wee bit surprised only because boy #1 is best friends with boy #4. Under the circumstances, and Kyleigh's history with boy #4 ....everyone {not just us} thought it was odd. We found out later that boy #1 didn't fully tell boy #4 of his intentions....hmmm.. Not that #4 was planning on asking her...but still...it caused a lot of questions and some un wanted drama at our house... For an added twist..Boy #1 is one of Kyleigh's best girlfriend's {pictured with Kyleigh below shoe shopping} old boyfriends.
So now to Boy #2 another good good friend....had heard at football practice that boy #1 was going to ask Kyleigh later in the week. So... #2 thought he'd beat boy #1 and ask her before he could. He'd been planning on asking her for practically a month. {He ended up being a night too late.} Instead boy #2 ended up asking previous girlfriend of boy#1 {girl mentioned above} who is going with him even though she has an official boyfriend who just graduated and is going on mission. She doesn't know that boy#2 tried to ask Kyleigh first. Are you with me?
As far as boy #3 goes, Kyleigh was number one on his list to ask to the dance and when he heard from the girl that was going to be assisting boy #1 in asking Kyleigh THAT very night... he was NOT happy and contemplated just coming to our doorstep and asking her to the dance before boy#1 could. Didn't happen but hilarious nonetheless...
So goodness me...this was just the tip of the ice-berg...drama ensued off and on for several weeks, especially when side issues were added by others in the friend group...we were on an emotional roller coaster that resulted in some late night mother daughter discussions... myself trying to be a listening ear and sound of reason.
Sometimes I feel like patting myself on the back...only because of my attempt at juggling my kids and their needs!... On one hand I'm dealing with dating, teenager, high school stuff and then I have to switch gears in an instant and go to the extreme opposite...toddler tantrums and poopy diapers. And then there is all the other in between. You'd get a kick at the mayhem of this place sometimes...
Boy#1's dad was also in on it. Luckily Jaren happens to know him and could call him to get permission so that his boy could stay out til a later curfew. Even Aunt Dori was lending us saran wrap at 10:30 at night along with boy #4's mom. I tell you it takes a village to pull these shenanigans off. We were under a time crunch! So I was even over there busting my behiney wrapping the car...
We tried to tie in the British and One Direction stuff since that is how he asked her...Dad, luckily, is really creative coming up with cute sayings and slogans and stuff like that... So boy #1 was handed a paper that said...The British are all about protocol and doing what's proper. Let's see how well you follow this "one direction" {get it? haha}
He had to text "what is my one direction?" to a random cell number {which happened to be dad's} to get his next clue... {funny side note..boy#1's phone was dead so they had to use boy#4's phone}
After he texted to that particular number...Dad, pretending to be some British dude, texted "jolly good timing" and gave him instructions to go out to his car...which of course was saran wrapped to the hilt.....he had to unwrap, which apparently only took him less than 30 seconds, to get his next clue....
The note on the car said Hey #17 if you've gotten this far you might just have that "ONE THING" {that's a title of a One Direction song} but we don't "WANT YOU UP ALL NIGHT" {another One Direction song} so before you get my answer you need to go home and sleep on it.
Earlier Kyleigh and friends had gone to his house and put something on his bedroom pillow.
So when he got home there was a note on his pillow that said...
" So you know I love my British boys (and my ice cream too)..
{if you only knew Kyleigh and her ice cream..she always wants ice-cream and the boys know that}
but they just aren't blessed with a body like you!" haha {Okay that part.. is a total inside joke that boy#1 has going on and the girls know about it SO...we as parents.. are hoping HIS parents {who are in my parents ward} and his grandparents {who are in my ward, and friends with MY parents, didn't take that the wrong way. jeesh!}
it ended with....
Of course I'd love to go to the dance with a BIG HUNK like you!!! {she left a Big Hunk candy bar}
Kyleigh and half of the fam got to help Kyleigh's friend answer back her date for Homecoming...it was a Cinderella themed affair...him asking her with a pumpkin and tiara and talk of a carriage and glass slipper. So she dressed up as the Fairy Godmother and the neighbor boy was the footman who belted Here Ye Here Ye to the one and only Sir Austin.. There were seriously no less than eight people hiding in the bushes watching as Kyleigh had her "Bippity Boppity Boo" acting debut...The two moms were filming and boy #1 was in charge of working the bubble machine for Kyleigh's grand entrance.. Gosh we've had a little too much fun around here....
Friday Night Lights! Haven't been to a high school football game in more than 20 years....Forgot how fun they were! Kyleigh performed at halftime. It was the drill team's first performance of the year. They did awesome!! And no, that is not me screaming...that would be the assistant coach.
