Today, we were fortunate to have some adorable little boys over! We had so much fun playing outside!
Pretending to be fierce pirates of the deep!
These boys crack me up every time I see them!
Mister Tobin is just learning to walk! Yay Tobin!
"Is that ME standing???"
"What are you pointing at?"
KITTIES!!! Tobin was absolutely mesmerized with the kittens! He would point and make a "Huh!" sound. He would scoot over to them and then they'd run away, he'd scoot, they'd run... over and over again :)
Then we had POPCORN!
Joelle and David were being birds and 'tweet tweeting' all over the place! So Joelle would tweet and David would feed her popcorn, then David would tweet and Joelle would feed him popcorn.. on and on the system went :)
I also got my new Bible yesterday! It's an ESV. Isn't it lovely?
It even has my initials on it!
And today I got my 'True Love Waits' purity ring! I love how it flashes as my fingers move over the keyboard :) That's all for tonight!
Two days ago, I posted about how I was going to the beach. I was very excited about going, because I haven't been to a beach all year (Actually, maybe even two years!)! And also, to be going with friends and family. But that trip was canceled because of a huge storm over the beach :( I woke up all 'ready to go' and excited, but then I saw the weather forecast and... no beach.
If you forget, it was one of my presents for my birthday. A day at the waterpark with a friend! When I found out we couldn't go the beach, I was really disappointed. Mom and Aunt Linda were trying to figure out a date to go to the waterpark, and they came up with a date sometime in two weeks, and I COULDN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!! So when Mom got off the phone, I forget if either me or Mom suggested this, but one of us said, "Hey, what about tonight?". And that was the most AMAZING suggestion EVER! :) Mass. WaterPark has a twilight swim/waterpark thingy. You get to do all the same stuff, it's just darker (Although they do have lights so it's really not that dark).
The outdoor waterpark (Which is a wave pool, HUGE/TALL waterslide, and a water play area for the littler kids) was open from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, and Me, Mom, and Michelle got there around 5:30. So we were in the wave pool for about half an hour. Mom just stayed up in a room kind of above the waterpark (Like an observation room). She just sat up there reading/listening to her ipod/watching us/sipping sweet tea :) while we were playing down there. The walls in the observation room are glass, so we could see her from the waterpark.
I'm going to post the same pictures from this post, so enjoy!
The HUGE/TALL slide outside! Michelle and I didn't go on that one, but I went on it last time, and it was fun! The FlowRider! There was this little girl (Maybe 3) and she was surfing, and she was good! She looked scared out of her wits, but she was GOOD!
When you go up the 'lane' to get to the parking lot, this is what you see. It gives you an idea on how twisty and turny the slides are! The smaller ones on the front side of the building are the body slides. DON'T GO ON THEM!!! Never! You cannot breathe, and if that's not enough, you can't sit up and you have water spraying in your face for at least a minute.
The entrance to the Country Cooler. This is a fun ride. It's mostly for the little kids though. It goes kind of slow, and it's lit up inside. The Melting Mongul is the very fun! It is pitch black, even in the middle of the day, and you go up, down, sideways, up the wall (Seriously, you literally are on the side of the wall when you go around a turn!) any way go can think of! But my favorite tube ride is definitely the Peak Splash! It is kind of light, and kind of dark. Lot's of twists and turns and ups and downs! When Michelle and I went on the Melting Mongul, it was really dark outside, so that made it really dark in the tunnel. When it's light outside, you can only see right when you go straight down to exit the tunnel. But then it got really dark in the building, so we couldn't even see when we exited the tunnel! There was NO light! We only knew we were going out when we went straight down and water pretty much gulfed our faces :) Now THAT, was fun!
We had so much fun!
After the waterpark, we went to Cold Stone Creamery! I love that place! I got a mint oreo pie crust ice cream bowl (Like It size of course :). After that, we went home and Michelle stayed for a sleepover. We watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We finished the movie around 12:00. We were SO tired, so we went to sleep. I can still feel the water rushing over my legs, even though it's the next day! I LOVE the waterpark, but it wouldn't be special if we went like every month. It's very special when I get to go with friends and do fun things, so THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM AND DAD for my birthday present!
So even though we didn't get to go to the beach, we're going next Friday, the waterpark was SO much fun, it made up for missing out on the beach! I'm still tired, so I'm gonna sign off now! Bye!
Yes, we can thank Fancy Nancy for Joelle's fine vocabulary skills :) Whoever heard of a four year old saying words like 'exquisite'??? Yesterday was a full day for us! It might have been the warmest day all year (And for that I am SO grateful!!!) Jenny left at 8:00 a.m. to meet the bus at school to go to Pennsylvania (She's also going to New York!). Mom dropped me off at co-op (Which by the way, today was a market day and my partner and I made 134 dollars!) and then she, Kate, and Joelle went to see Jenny off. Kate picked me up from co-op (She had Joelle with her). And because Mom gave Kate her debit card, we went to Subway and got subs to-go :) Then we went to Kid's Castle for a picnic lunch! After we ate our fill of subs, soda, and veggie straws, we played with Joelle on the playground (And for once, I didn't have my camera!). I had bought some fake flowers at Michael's the other day, but needed to return them, so we stopped by Michael's quick and I returned the flowers. Dad's work was just around the corner, so we stopped there for a while and talked. After that, I took Kate and Joelle out for ice cream! I used the money I got back from the flowers and this coupon for a free shake if you buy one free! So I got a chocolate shake and Kate got a Jamocha and shared with Joelle. On our way home, we went to my grandpa's house. Mom had taken him back to the hospital to get the staples taken out of his knee. They were back and sitting on the front porch. I shared a little bit of my shake with Mom :) While we were visiting Dad, he asked us to pick up the sticks under our willow tree when we got home, so we left grandpa's soon and got started picking up sticks. Oh-Joy :) We were outside for about an hour and a half - maybe two hours! Kate and I DEFINITELY got some sun :) Dad came home from work and Mom came home from grandpa's. Then, we all got ready to go to the Fisher's for a special birthday (Happy Birthday, David!)! We got there around 6:30 and stayed 'til 10:30!!! It was SO much fun to be there to share David's birthday! Joelle fell asleep on Mom's lap (And a 10:30, that seemed like a VERY good place :), and when I got home, I put on a pair of sweatpants and literally FELL into my bed, but of course I had to arrange my pillows in a certain order first :)
Yes Joelle, it certainly HAS been a WAY exquisite day!
Today I'm feeling bubbly! I'm back and I've got SO many things to post about! When I logged onto Google Reader today, I saw I had 156 posts to read! THAT took me a while! I finally got to Dad's store and took some pictures, so I'll post before and after pics later.
First:
On Thursday, I got to go to a local church and babysit for some ADORABLE kids! And hey, the best part was, I got paid to play!
This sweet little boys name is Henry. He is the cutest thing you ever did see (Except for Joelle of course... :)!
This is Miriam. She wasn't too happy that her Mommy had to leave, but once you get her interested in some toys, she's as happy as can be!
Miriam again! This cutie pie found my sunglasses!
Oh my, Henry's just too cute!
It sure is hard to get a NICE picture of Ivan because he's SO active!
Bubbles kept most of the kids entertained. The little kid in the background is Jonah. These kids are adorable! Wait, didn't I say that already?
The next day was Friday and I had my homeschool co-op. In our science class, we dissected flowers (Sounds fun, doesn't it?). My teacher let me take one home, and guess what kind it was, a red tulip! Not a yellow one like I write about before, but red is pretty too!
This is a project I've been working on for the last week.
I got this little birdhouse for $1 at Michaels (The only place to shop :). I hung it in the tree outside my window. It looked really pretty this morning because last night it snowed a little, so the white snow was pretty against the red.
This is something my Dad got at one of his store meetings.
It sure doesn't look that pretty now, but pretty soon it will be a beautiful flower. We don't know what flower it will be yet. I'll call it, "Mystery Bulb"!
I'm going to get my hair cut soon! It's getting to be too long for me. I'm gonna cut is so that it dusts my shoulders (Maybe even shorter!). I'm also thinking about doing a bob kind of cut, but I'm not sure I'm THAT brave!
Here are two videos that I want to share with everyone. Kate showed them to us and I really liked them! Here you go!
And this one is my favorite!
What did you think? I thought they were really funny!
On Monday, the Fisher boys got to come over and play! We had lots of fun! I want to share a couple (O.K., MORE than a couple!) of pictures of them!
Mom was downstairs sewing with Josiah and David and I took Tobin upstairs.
Josiah and David loved Clifford! Hmm, I wonder where Joelle is?
Peek-a-boo!
I would stack up the blocks... and he would knock them over! Over and Over again! I got this pic in mid fall!
So cute!
That's all I'll post for today, but trust me, I've got more in store! Have a wonderful Sunday!
