I’ve written quite often that one of the best parts of having our children at Central Catholic is the friendships we’ve formed with the families of the other students.  They are more than acquaintances, they are friends.  We are all so different, but have a commonality in the shared priority of quality education.  Social occasions turn into “parental” events as well. 

Tonight we had the privilege of going to the Shinkwin residence.  The Sadie Hawkins’ dance is tonight and Cindy Shinkwin volunteered to cook dinner for 4 couples before the dance.  Of course I had to call and invite myself over for some pictures and we were welcomed with open arms.  (As I knew we would be.)  The kids decided a couple of days ago to go to the dance dressed as The Brady Bunch and so Cindy Shinkwin went all out with the decor and her own personal outfit… dressing as the beloved housekeeper Alice… complete with a beehive hairstyle.  She looked adorable.  We re-enacted scenes from the show.  This is our version of the couch photo.
