Tid Bits!

WoW...i really gotta start blogging more. When i get a computer at home ; ) ; ) i know i will do better. Even have mild aspirations to start a second one. So here are a few tid bits on what been goin on since Valentines Day.

Celebrated Codys B-day the Sunday after Valentines day. We had a good time and got some pictures of some birds. I wasnt able to get a picture of a female cardinal or get as close -up as she wanted on the male cardinals, but still some ok pictures. Between Church, going out to Grandpa and Nana's and playtime we had a day full of fun.

Week was good. MaryJane and I spent Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights together. We had fun playing, watching new spongebob episodes, and even had an awesome tea party Friday night where she turned into a horse. It rocked. MaryJane has Treehouse Tuesday and had a wonderful time as usual. She went to the Shiloh museum w/ some other Homeschoolers on Friday. She made a new friend and she had just loved the Shiloh Museum ever since History Camp. Tuesday was round 2 of Romans w/ community group and Wednesday went to the Razorback game w/ a friend from work. Stinks we loss, but we had a good time.

Last weekend was cool. It was mix of playing and school at the house. Some of the norm, Neopets, Barbies; and new games too like one where she painted old toys and things to give them new appeal to her and stuffed animals and non-scooby doo detectives. She was very sweet at night to; reading to Kelly and Lionel and doing activities w/ them from her God and Me Bible and Devotional. Pictures are sooo cute and by request. She got this

This weeks been good. Chowed some Chinese last night and played doctor w/ the biggest doctors kit ever and yesterday was Treehousee. MaryJane had a ball and made another new friend. We had fun playing tag and walking the ties around the playground at lunch. Looking forward to seeing MaryJane tonight. Got together w/ some of the guys from comm group last night to watch a movie; Body of Lies. It was ok.

The Best Valentines Day Ever!

You know its been a great day when you get "this is the best day ever". MaryJane and I had a very nice Valentines Day. She grabbed, hugged on and commented on her new teddy i put on her pillow for her first off, then it was to the living room to see her chocolates and new stylin Barbie butterfly sunglasses seen here. Awesome.

We spent our morning playing Neopets on gameplayer, playing valentines and coloring school. She, I , Kelly and Lionel made some sweet valentine's b/w playing valentines school Friday night and Saturday morning. She helped make breakfast after that and we chowed down on her awesome eggs and my yummy sausages while we finished up school. After a trip by work to do some school research and watch a few Neopets videos we headed to the mall to meet up w/ her Mommy and GuaGua. Fast forward 4 hours (dont care to talk about the lowsy ball game). Went and picked up my date ; ) and we headed to the house to make Bird feeders (still in progress...paint had to dry) and to prepare ourselves for our fine dinning. We headed out to Mermaids, one of our favorite place. We pretended to be a French couple, a Chinese couple and upon arrival we became Barbie and Ken. It was cool. We got there just in the nick of time b/c we grabbed the last table The perfect table really. It was a small round table for two, in the back by the fish tank and the Mermaid painting featured on the menus. We had the best time. After a time being Barbie and Ken we became royalty. We had fun playing w/ Kelly and Lionel, conversating, being sweet, and eating, of course. Cheesy appetizer, fresh salad, buttery bread, and pasta dished each. Lots of variety. So before we left i had to get a few pictures of my darling. The one w/ her eyes closed...well, it is to keep the light from turning her eyes purple (its a Neopets thing).....and there are hard to get rid of. Both are precious.

After dinner it was time for a double dip junior cone from Braums before heading over to the Bible book store to get her new Bible. When she got her Bible that she uses for school she had seen a Princess one that she wanted. It was not there, but we found on that is even better; a "Mary Jane Bible". Yup, and she says its named after her. hehe : ) Ill have to get a picture of it to show. It is very nice and she is taking very good care of it. Finally we went to the pet stores to get Orange Beauty a pink collar and tag that say "Princess" on the front and her new pets; two fish. She previously had two fish, a red beta named Jewel and a sucker fish named Saw. S in memory of them she got the same kind of fish, naming the red beta Ruby and the sucker fish "Hammer". : ) She just loves them both and it taking good care of them as well. Pics coming soon. She helped get the fish all cozy in there new home and then it was off to bed. It was the best Valentines Day ever. : )

Action Packed!

Lots to talk about today.

Weekend was great. We were bizy bodies on Saturday. After some morning play time and Heritage Studies it was off to Home Depot. She made a beautiful jewelry box w/ velvet inside and everything. She painted it Sunday and decorated it with stickers to boot. Its very nice i must say. We ran some more errands and then it was home. After more play and more school we headed over to Lokomotion to cash in one of the gift certificates i got for Christmas. We had a blast playing mini golf, racing cars and motorcycles (arcade only...hehe), and racking up mucho tickets. She made off w/ a few cool prizes. So after all this it was time to relax. We had a movie night. We watched "Space Buddies" and had the regular movie refreshments. Movie was cute, funny, and very far fetched. Always enjoy dancing around the room at the credits. Special. Sunday we rocked the church scene, visited China (no...not really, but what a fun game), painted paper plates and paper towels, finished up school, played guitar, and even played Snow White w/ a twist at the end of the day. It was a pleasant day. One big game that stretched across both days was Littlest Pet Shops elect a new president. There was a pedestal and a dog with a microphone that would ask each candidate what they would do if they were president and then based on how many pet shops gathered around they got a score and the highest scoring one got to be president. We did a ton of them and although i dont remember who won it was really a lot of fun. : )

MaryJane got back to Treehouse yesterday. She missed the week before last due to the Ice and they were scheduled off last week so you can imagine how excited she was about going. She prepped Valentines to hand out Monday night and had fun w/ that. Payed her a visit at lunch as usual and it was nice. Chased her and other kids around the play area which is always cool...and tiresome. She had a great day at Treehouse and we played Barbies and watched some tv to close the day out.

Looking forward to Saturday. MaryJane and I have are going on a date to Mermaids for dinner. Shes also getting to pick out 2 new fish and a new Bible; things she has really been wanting.

Later.

Party Hardy (Round 2)!

So we had an awesome time Saturday celebrating the 2 birthdays. MaryJane even purchased a new friend the night before. She is an Isha and her name is "Spotty". Cute. The morning was spent playing board games and school, checking out the goodie bags, playing Neopets on her DS and on Gameplayer, and blowing up balloons. She also painted very nice pictures of 3 of her Neopets. My little artist. We didnt cook this time around buyt the Neopets still at there share of Lucky Charms and Pizza Hut on there Zoopal Plates. Cody and Robi came over to visit and have lunch w/ us. We played Barbies and a board game, did Tattoos, and went crazy w/ balloons. The afternoon was fun too. Worked out at the office, played babysitter, had a tea party and more. : )

Sunday was cool. We made some Christmas ornaments out of suckers. She always has the best ideas. We played darts for too. She wanted to play so i set up the board and we had fun seeing what numbers we got. She's really good. She said the green was 100 and the bulls eye was 1000. She did the dance from the video when she got a good number. She said a Neopet on Neopets.com does the dance and that she does it when she does good on her Neopets DS game. How funny. We went over to my Brandon's house to pick up materials for our Community Group lesson for the semester and she played w/ his 2 boyz for a while. They played in the icy waters of the empty sandbox and jumped on the trampoline. She didnt want to go over there, but i know shes glad we did now cause she had fun. Aside from watching the fourth qtr after she went to bed, i didnt watch much of the Superbowl. MaryJane and I hung out in her room and watch Puppy Bowl V instead. It was so funny and cute. She was bustin up. She was happy that her favorite puppy won. Before bed it was the toothbrush show. I loved it.

Neopet Dance!

The Toothbrush Show!
