Happy Halloween and the 5 days before!

Tuesday and Wednesday found us playing w/ clay "Kirby" figures MaryJane made Tuesday night.  She did a great job on them.  We also had tickle fights both nights.  She is the champ.  Hehe.  Wednesday night we made a trip to Tyson park to dizzy ourselves on the tire swing.  She can spin forever.  Thursday night we finished up putting her costume together and getting what Daddy needed for his costume.  Above is her after her fashion show.  She got a 10.  : )  A great two nights.  Friday afternoon she came Trick-or-Treating at Daddy's work.  She loaded up her McDonalds bucket.  Friday night was our Halloween night.  She got 2 Halloween prizes, we watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, and we ate a pumpkin shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's.  A spooky great time.  Saturday she was with me until 1:30.  We spent our time together playing Neopet figures and plushes, horses, and Barbies.  A short, but great day.  Sunday morning we first attended wonderful Church.  We then played Neopets to and fro from great Grandma and Grandpa Danforth's where we had lunch w/ them plus Cody and Robi.  Good food, great company, and MaryJane got to tour Grandpa's cabinet shop.  Back home we made Halloween figures out of clay and she rode her bike.  A great Halloween.  A great, fun filled 6 days.

Party Time!

After picking up Gurly Friday afternoon we headed to Pizza Hut to enjoy some grub. It was yummy. Next it was over to Hobby Lobby to get a present for her friend Lon’s Birthday. She got him a nice 89 piece art set. She also bought herself a tattoo pack w/ over 200 tattoos. Not surprising seeing as how she has been had multiple tattoo shops giving Mommy and Daddy hand drawn tattoos, giving herself temp tattoos and having a tattoo shop days earlier giving me a temp tattoo, and her current want to be a tattoo artist when she grows up. So as you probably guessed when we got home I got a few temp tattoos from her tattoo shop and then she proceeded to give herself temp tattoos.

Saturday morning we played a game where she was the sister and I was the bad brother. After that we headed to Home Depot. She built a neat fire fighter boat. She did a great job as always. Then it was back up to Springdale to meet up w/ Sonia, Lon’s Mom, so we could follow them to the birthday party. The party was at his Grandparents 2nd home, a cabin in Jane , MO. It was very nice and a very fun place. We first went walking around exploring the area and then it was time for the zip line. It went from the cabin, down over land, then over the pond to the landing area. After all the kids except MaryJane went I took a trip down it and after a rough landing I elected to not go again. It was fun tho, don’t get me wrong. W/ round 1 of the zip line over we all had pizza and watched present opening. Then all the kids, and some adults, got to decorate their own cupcakes. MaryJane made 3 or 4 I think and they all were very fancy and nice. We sang, chowed and then headed out for round 2. This time MaryJane was ready. She told me “ I have to live my life” a few times. How cute and funny I thought. She went once and immediately went again. Yes, she loved it and it was her favorite part of the trip. Finally, the kids got to take a trip around the lake on the canoe. I guided the last trip w/ MaryJane. She got to go twice, lucky gurl. After her getting her goody bag and saying our goodbyes we reluctantly left the cabin. There was plenty more fun to come tho. We played more sister and bad brother in the car on the way to the tennis court. I broke more lamps than you can imagine, blaming it all on her. Haha. After her showing me improving skills on the court we played a game where I was a bad guy and a good guy and she was the captive, the court being her cage. After a failed attempt to save her by the good guy it turns out she loves the bad guy and they leave the “cage” and head to the play ground. We spent the entire time there getting dizzy on the tire swings. Much funnier on an empty stomach. : ) We grabbed some grub from the market and a copy of the new Tinker Bell movie from Redbox before we went home. We spent the rest of the day relaxing. The movie was really good and the company was really great. What a fun day.

Sunday morning started out w/ Pokémon bargaining and a Pokémon card game. On the way to wonderful Church there was a wild Google in the car that was on a eating rampage. By the time we got to the church doors all the planets were eaten, including my hair and clothes. Haha. Church was fantastic of course. We played more on the way home and while we got ready for our next outing. On the way to the Apple Festival the wild Google was back in action, this time singing to songs on the radio (we were laughing so hard...I was in tears). It also pooped on my arm numerous times. Hehe. We loved the Festival. She had been asking about it for some time and she was not disappointed. She got a little pink w/ black polka dot kitty named Pinkie and she ate 3 servings of apples. After the short stop there it was on to Grandpa and Nana’s for Grandpa’s Birthday Party. We had enchilada soup. It was yummy. We had fun playing dolls and Barbie’s, MaryJane and Brena enjoyed being spun around on the swing set, Cody, Dad and I played a fun yard game, and MaryJane opted for Monsters Inc. over football. Glad we got out there to visit and play. Had been wanting to for some time. On the way back home We played a game where Lionel had his own TV show about Trash stuff and Pinkie was a guest, promoting her line of Perfumes. Well, in the end Lionel’s show ended up getting canceled and was replaced by Pinkies show and her Perfume sold and sold and sold. : ) Back home we made a meal and watched the new Tinker Bell movie again. Another fun day and an all together awesome weekend.
