Odd(s) & End(s)

Yup...here to tell some odds and ends bout tha weekend and to tell about some odd things we did on the weekend that has come to an end. Aside from getting out for Art Class and Church it was a low key weekend to follow up a busy b-day weekend. By the way, art class was great. M.J. finished up a painting of 2 Webkinz and her V.I.P. and produced a lovely painting of tulips. Church was nice as well. Played lots of Barbies over the weekend, as well as her new fav game of Battleship, some V-smile, Mermaid School, and lots of other stuff. We dug all her stuffed animals out on the floor, laid in them and she laughed so hard as we made her Poppel act goofy and as she pelted me in the head w/ stuffed animals. She was bustin. Her fav saying for the weekend was "Opsey". Not sure theres a reason she said it so much; she just said "i like saying that" and i like it too. Cute. As for the odd games. I just love how w/ her getting so much stuff for her b-day we still stick to the regular games and play odd, off the wall games her little imagination comes up w/...like draw on a little piece of paper with crayons/markers/pens/etc., soak it in germ-x, put in her towel oven and see what it looks like when its done. hahaha...awesome game. or shirt maker where she laid a shirt on the bed, made it w/ tools and toys, put it in a box w/ a ribbon on top and shipped it to Charlotte and Margaret (the always cranky cabbage patch kids). Super cool weekend w/ the sweetest little gurl in the world. I love my baby gurl and she certainly loves her daddy. : )

Short, Medium, and BIG!

Yup...thats right. MaryJane told me when i picked her up that it was her Short B-day, that tomorrow was her Medium Birthday, and Sunday was her BIG Birthday. How great is that. She was pretty much spoiled all 3 Birthdays too. Short B-day included a visit from her Gua Gua and Aunt Wanda and Wonderful cards from her Great Grandma Mary and Aunt Patty. Medium Bday included her 2nd (of 5) new Wedkinz, a trip to Barnes and Noble (spent some B-day money) and Donalds (of unlimited choices thats where she picked), and Lokomotion and Chinese w/ Mommy and Baby Bro (see Jess's Blog). BIG B-day included presents from her Mommy and her Littlist Pet Shop Birthday Party. Here are my fav pics.

She likes her webkinz just a little bit...can't you tell. hehe

Your Future Rock-N-Roll Hall of Famer. hehe
Purrty cake for a pretty princess!

She was sooo happy her friends came...and that smile shows it!

My fav....the look on her face....priceless!

I'll huff and i'll puff!

Almost Seven!

Wanted to put up the couple of pics i took Tuesday, comment on the week, and express the excitement around this weekend. Tuesday nite M.J. and i attended our second swim at nite party w/ our church. They reserve the Springdale Aquatic Center from 8-10 one nite and we love it. Other then them not letting us go down the slide together like they did last time, it was a blast. M.J. had the best time playing on the smaller slides, the crocodile, and the floating log. Its been a great week. MaryJane and i have had a fun each nite since Tuesday playing restaurant, Polly, reading comic books, and other stuff. Looking forward to tonight and the weekend.

Tonight its just chillin and preparing gift bags for her friends, but then the weekend is action packed and MaryJane is super excited and ready to party. M.J is already celebrating her B-day. She got some money from her Great Grandma Jean and Chief Monday and has gotten some books and is being visited by Gua-Gua and aunt Wanda today and getting gifts from them. tomorrow shes going to her art class in the morning to paint and then were going to do a little something. maybe just lunch, but something. then shes of to mommy's for the later part of the day and is being treated to a trip to lokomotion. Sunday its church and hanging out and partying w/ her mommy and brother for the early part of the day before she comes to our house for her
littlest pet shop party.

Gonna be a wonderful birthday weekend and I will be back Monday with lots to say, lots of pics, and a 7 year old daughter!

A Picture Speaks a Thousand Word's!

Sweet, Cute, Precious, Adorable, Angelic, Charming, Luvable, ....oh yeah....letting the picture speak for itself....sorry....

Pretend and Art!

Pretty much 2 words sum up our weekend; Pretend and Art. We did our share of other things too, but these to things seemed to rule. Lots of Pretend; Vet (since Jasmine went to the vet), History Camp (yup..still got that on tha brain), Work (now that was a first), School (of course), and other stuff too. Lots of Art too. M.J attended an art class at ACO called Multi Media Medley Saturday morning. She really seemed to enjoyed it and is looking forward to going back next week to paint. She started the below painting Friday night and finished it up Saturday. I officially call it "Sauce", because MaryJane says its sauces; from chocolate sauce to skin sauce. hehe.
This is the picture she made for me at her class. Fab!
...and is the picture her super nice teacher made for her. Go Kelly!
She also has a pencil drawing of some pottery she was working on when i got to her class and its still a work in progress. She did another painting and spent time doodling w/ her favorite pen in a new Disney Princess notebook I got for her while she was in class. Also, on Sunday we broke out the 8 containers of Play-Doh. We has a blast. We each made a litter (or "glitter " as M.J. calls it) box to start (hers turned into a food dish tho) and I was the official cat maker. I made 2 mother cats and 2 Kittens that day. She loved her kittens. She made some really impressive things; A sort of spinner w/ a disco ball on top and the best was a girl. She used all different colors for her an put a lot of detail into it, complete w/ a bow in her hair and a smiley face t-shirt.

A Happy 4th!

Hope everyone had a wonderful, colorful Fourth. M.J. and I had a really great time. Didn't have to work so we spent almost the entire day together. I'm happy to report that i still have all my limbs intact. Actually, MaryJane did all the work. She was proud to announce to me that she could light the fireworks...and she did. We did some small stuff out front of the pad; smoke bombs, stompers, sparklers, etc. and we took the rest of our loot out to Nana and Grandpas. They invited us out for a Fish Fry and Fireworks. MaryJane was excited to go and she had a ball. I must say the food was awesome; catfish, hush puppies, corn, slaw, beans, watermelon. : d MaryJane did some more small fireworks before dark, at dusk she had Nana get her a jar and we caught fire flies, and at dark she got to put on her own show. She did some fireworks we took and some Grandpa had gotten. It was a very nice show w/ fountains, cones, and missiles followed by applause She had so much fun and i know it was a special moment for her. After her fab show Nana's kiddos put on a big show for us and it was very purrty. The pictures are of m.J. with the first firefly, her and Brena going thru stompers like crazy, her and her assistant doing the show, and her fav firework from the show. : )
