Where's Micah Been? And Other Denton Doings

Micah has been shockingly absent from the blog lately. What's he been doing?

First of all, since he no longer attends a school with a hair dress code, he's been growing out his hair.

 It's so long that he can use my velcro rollers!

 A smolder makes everything look better, right?

 I even attempted a smolder, but I can't pull it off as well as he can.

 I think after tonight, we may have convinced him to at least cut the back a little. He's vowed he won't cut it till June. We'll see if he can hold out that long.

After our little photo shoot Monday morning, I received this text from him just before dinner:

Seriously? A text?

And this is how I brought him home:

Lucky for us, his friend's dad is also our local orthopedic doctor. Chuck threw him in a boot and gave him crutches before we even left for Urgent Care. And lucky for Micah, it wasn't broken. He's been in the boot and on crutches all week, but I think he's mending. We'll know for sure this week. Dang kid! Next time, call your mama!

Brad has been on a cupboard organizing kick lately, and he took on the hardest project in our entire kitchen--the plastics cupboard. When he did the dishes, he made little signs and it has stayed organized for over a month, so he attempted the same procedure with this cupboard, even including a short lecture to the kids on how to correctly put things away. 

 So far, so good.

And best moment of the entire week:

He surprised me with dinner at Cafe Monarch in Scottsdale. What an incredible restaurant! I'm not a big foodie, but I was thoroughly impressed with every course, every waiter, and the ambiance. 

I married a keeper, that's for sure!
