TGIF.......Thank Goodness Its "Foo"day

Yes..today is the long awaited concert. Yea! So excited. Before i rant anymore about that gotta speak about my wonderful daughter and or doings. Shes all better from her strep throat. double yea! We have done school together the last 2 nights and its so great. She just started a school theme of Charlotte's Web. Its not just a week, or a month, but according to mommy a 22 week thang. it is really cool and goes way, way beyond just the book. very broad..hitting on all kinds of subjects, the bible, and cool crafts. we did math, some worksheets, she read some of a hilarious doc suess riddle book she cant get enough of, and we made a pig Tuesday night out of paper plates and it turned out real nice. Homeschooling is such a blessing and it so rocks. MaryJane loves it and her excitement about doing it really shows that. Shes such a smart girl. Heres a pic of angel gurl modeling her new outfit from target. Cute!ok...so the concert. 7:30 cant come soon enough. 2 pud bands are playing before the Foo Fighters...hope they are short sets. : ) Then the greatness begins. Got there new CD a few days ago and it rocks. just super stoked and so ready. well, back to tha grind (and to listening to Foo Cd's) : ) Be back Monday with a Friday afternoon/night and weekend recap. Later

Strep at Home Weekend

Yes....MaryJane caught Strep throat. Not to worry tho. Mommy got her to the doctor on Friday. Jess also got her a get better package with medicine, sprite, and a super cool Barbie sticker book and crayons. : ) i picked up her script after work along with some ice cream and a few other items. Meet Jess at my place shorly after. M.J. and i spent the remainder of friday and the weekend at the house. Other then a 5 minute trip to pick up Chinese at the place by our house we didnt go anywhere. i am so thankful she got to the doc friday and so thankful she did not felt bad. if you handt known she had strep you wouldnt have guessed it. she was her regular monky self. even so, mommy and i agreed that staying home was best so we put our girl scout cookie mission and other outings on hold. We really had a great time. from barbies to orphens taking care of there house, from sorry! to making our own play, from pound puppies (on tv) to Garfield (her and me), we did it all and loved every second of it.

So Happy Its Thurday

What a day. I am just not motivated. its cold and im overly tired today. need to get some afternoon coffee i guess. : ) Just thought id take a few minutes to jaw about the week so far. its been really good. MaryJane had pajama day at Tree house Tuesday. what a treat i thought. nothing like wearing your jammies to school. so i thought that was cute. Jess said she told her she made another flat stanley she is going to mail to grandma Gina in Hawaii and that she got to use chemicals in science detectives. she motioned for me how they used there arms to wave the smells to there noses. hehe. her biggest thrill i think was her last class of the day. She went on and on about it. she showed me how she learned how to draw a moon and half moon, she told me a great story about the wind, sun, and a person w/ a coat. ask her about it for more details. hehe. and she said she learned about a place thats cold. not sure what she is talking about. she said it was a country then she said it was a state. anywho, apparently there is a movie at the movie store about this mystery place so im anxious to find out where it is. ??? She studied presidents day at library class following tree house. its cool because she is doing presidents day all week for school so it fit in quite nicely. she is studying Abraham Lincoln today. neat. we finally got to go to community group after that. missed out the last few times cause of me being sick and the krazy weather. she had a great time playing with her friends and i had a good time at study. ate some sketti, awesome salad, and tasty ice cream cake from dairy queen. it wasnt as good as the Barbie one sis had, but really good. Butterfinger i think. : d We are doing a study of the book of Titus. We all read the letter Paul wrote to Titus and answered some questions before going to group. we then took turns reading loud and discussed. i learned alot and am anxious, not only for next week, but to go back and re-read and study the first lesson. very interesting. wuz supposed to go to the awesome game last night, but w/ Diana having to do some lat night work and not having got to spend much time w/ M.J. Monday and Tuesday, i stayed home w/ the monkey and we had a blast. messed around with littlest pet shop, played mouse trap, and started our, what i believe will be, lengthy game of Care Bear Holidays. i have made a list of all the holidays backwards and made paper trophies, gold, silver, and brown. we started last night w/ Christmas and her, me, and 3 care bears cut out snow flakes and the top 3 were awarded trophies. pretty fun. should be our mane thang for tonight. got one of my tvs up and running on Dish and will have the other going next week. very pleased...even though i really havent got to check it out to much. still running wires and setting everything up. M.J. and i have been working on a DVD. Garfield- a tale of 2 kitties. it has bill Murphy as the voice of Garfield and is hilarious. im Garfield and M.J. is Odie. haha. MaryJane went this morning to pick up her 64 boxes of girl scout cookies. jess and her made bags for each person and she loaded them up. apparently she had a blast and is so excited to make her rounds. what an awesome little girl scout she is. gonna have to get her a cute shirt if her mommy dosent beat me 2 it. looking forward to seeing the episode of LOST i missed last week and the new episode tonight. im going to DVR it and watch it twice, just cause i can. hehe. looking forward to the weekend. i think M.J. and i are going to go to a junt named Mermaids in tha ville. semi fancy little place. we have to go there cause she loves mermaids'. i told her we would dress up and act proper cause it would be a royal dinner. hehe. what fun it will be. shoo....k enough outta me. ill be back Monday w/ lots to say and i promise ill get some new pictures to post. later.

Quick Weekend/Post

What a quick weekend. Flew bye i tell ya. Was good tho. Got out Staurday morning to take M.J. to her drama class. Went and got a shelving unit for her rooom. to many toys, not enough space. 15 minutes to assemble my butt. to me about an hour and got two good gashes on my hand. worth it tho. M.J seems to think its cool. She had fun at her class. didnt get much details from her just "we played some games". she did bring home her play outline and cant remeber of the top of my head the name of the play, but she is a giraffe. 2 cute. not surprised either as the giraffe is certainly one of her fav animals. Her mommy came by and picked her up after lunch so i could watch the game and get some shopping done. the game was a downer, but managed to get a some shopping and cleaning done despite the depression. Picked up M.J after church Sunday and spent the remiander of the day playing, doing some chores, and lounging about the house. it was nice. M.J. is doing a presidents day lesson today. Jess siad they learned about George Washington this morning. M.J. is gearing up for a big day tomorrow w/ treehouse, library class and communuiy group. our group meets every other thuesday, but w/ the weather and sickness we have missed our first 2 meetings, so very thankful and anxious to go tomorrow night. i think i just may bew getting my Dish Network service back tonight. have been trying to get a couple receivers for cheap and ive finally made a deal w/ someone and am picking them up after work. if all goes well ill be up all night watching glorious nonsense. until next time...peace.

What a Sweet Day!

What a very nice Valentines day. My little valentine had a great time. she attended a valentines party at the jones center w/ some of her friends from treehouse. jess said it was pretty bunk, but M.J. had a great time and thats what matters. she got and gave a thousand valentines and ran a muck w/ her 2 friends. meet up w/ Jess afterwards and went home to prep for Codys b-day party. She filled me on on the party and the goodies she got from her mommy on the way home. Heres my valentine w/ her valentine from daddy.
She gave me 2 suckers and a frame she made for me to take to work. its so fab. think im going to put the above in it. ill get a pic of the artists creation when i get her in it. what a sweetheart. Had fun at Codys party too. yummy nana cooking and lots of conversation. was good to see everyone and was pleased grandma mary could make it. always a pleasure. MaryJane had fun helping nana w/ dinner, helping cody open presents, and visiting w/ family.

PLATES, CHIPMUNCKS, & A BEAR....OH MY!

amongst the many, many, thangs we played this weekend was paper plates. yup. after her dragon mask she made for chinese new years at mommy's she requested i get some. So while she was at ther acting class saturday i picked up a pack and its been two dollers well spendt hehe. we spent some time Saturday and Sunday decorating them. shes proud of hers for sure and here is her collection so far. she was concerned about you being able to see the decorations on each. i assured her you could zoom in so remember you can click the picture for a huge version. she made some really nice plates. it was crazy to becasue i went to pick her up from Sunday School and of all things she had made a lamb out of....yes, paper plates. its like paper plate mania. hahaha so yeah..had a nice time at church and back to her class saturday. she had fun aparently. said they played 2 games. "explode tag" and "do what the director says" MaryJane went to the her Alvin and the Chipmuncks movie Saturday instead of Sunday and had so much to tell me about it. she really liked it alot and says we muct get it on DVD when it comes out. from what she told me it sounds hilarious. its cool they made it i think. got outside a played some on Sunday, the colder of the days, but it wasnt to cold. M.J. and I played a bit and then Samantha came out of a bit. Was nice to get out on the play place and run around i must say. Gonna miss her tonight as M.J. spends monday nights w/ mommy because tree house is tuesday morning. luckily there is american gladiators semi #2 and deal or no deal million dollar mission x11 to keep me occupied. haha. oh...one more thing before i go. i have to tell about this. we were on our way back from church sunday and i got behind a Bryers (ice cream) truck. we were admiring the beautiful ice cream pictures all over it. it was a sharp looking truck. so we passed it, i looked back and there was a big white polar bear w/ glassees and a t-shirt in the seat next to the guy driving. as people passed the driver would wave to them and the bear would wave too. it was hilarious. craziest thing ive seen in a while. be on the look out. haha. ok..im out.

Foo Fighters - Grammys 2008

There appearance on the grammy's last night. how great it was. there barnhill show has been rescheduled for the 29 of this month. yea. cant wait.

Sweet Relief

Ahhhhh....how great it is to have my babygurl back. Being w/o her for over a week because of the weather and my being sick stunk. It was the longest week of my life i tell ya. Anywho, we spent last night and Wednesday night together and its been so fabluous. When i went to get her from the library Wednesday i picked her up and never wanted to put her down, but she ways a ton so i had too...darn. hehe. Had a tea party w/ a swet new tea set Wednesday and waatch a new disney flick called Snow Buddies about 5 cute golden retrievers and 1 baby Nishka (M.J.'s huskie at her mommy's). it was very cute. No tv last night tho. it was Scooby doo, cheerleading, and (pretend) school. This is M.J. being Dafney. Guess who i always get to be...yup...Shaggy. fitting i guess. haha! so we solved a few mysteries and then she broke out the pom-poms i took from the Razorback vs. Miss St. game. Shhh...dont tell. ; ) Shes really likes them and it showed last night. she did "Go Razorbacks" cheers, i pretended to play sports and she cheered me on, and i even got to control her like she was in a video game or sumdin. it was krazy silly, but so much fun.

Really looking forward to getting off work and spending tonight and the weekend with her. Not sure what all we will get ourselves into. Tomorrow is her first day of "Creative Dramatics". Its an acting class at The Arts Center of the Ozarks here in Springdale. Shes takin the class previously and a clay class there too. Shes very excited as am i becuase for once one of her classes is on a the weekend so i get to take her. : ) Even tho she took the class before they will be doing different things and will putting together a different play for the final day. This will be her third play. Shes also going w/ her mom to see Alvin and the Chipmunks Sunday after church. Looks funny to me. Always thought the Chipmunks were cool.

While i was sick and in hibernation the world went on and MaryJane had lots going on with her mommy. Hop on over to Jess's Blog and check it out . There are some really good pictures of the snow day and lots going on with school to see and read about.
