Mom & Dad Time

 Dad and I entered our bowls into the local Woodcraft competition. Dad won the carving category (got a nice set of carving knives) & I won some safety glasses and a carving knife that I'm not allowed to have until I'm older.

 Mom & I did a girls night out.

 First, we finished a puzzle I've been working on.

 Then mom and 3 of her friends and 3 of my friends went to the Wheat Penny for pizza.

She even let me have chocolate mousse and stay up until midnight.
