One Whole Week!

Well Everyone, can you believe it - it's been a week & I have not posted a thing! That first week of the blog-thing I was posting at least one thing each day! I've now come to the realization that it's more practical (well, maybe) to just do it one in a while!! So- let's see...Last Friday was Tika's "Wax Museum" at school. It was actually pretty cool. Each student in her class had to choose a famous person in History, write a biography about them and make up a costume that they would have wornin that time, on their own. They were set up in a classroom and in front of them each student had a stand. You could "press the button" and they would say a "clue" about who they were. If you couldn't figure it out, they had a "cheat sheet". Well, I used it on a few of them. Funny thing was, on the page you opened to it said, "Are you sure you want to cheat?" So then it made you feel like...uuuuhhh! Anyway, it was a really fun idea on her teacher's part. Her teacher, Mrs. Phillips, had a picture of herself at her "Wax Museum" from grade school. She was Dolly Parton! Way cool to see! Some of the famous people included; Johnny Appleseed Sacagewea (sorry if I spelled that one wrong...I'm sure I did!!) Betsy Ross, Albert Einstein and about 24 more. Can't remember all of them!! So here we go - this was Tika's speaking part... "People say I didn't give up my seat because I was tired. But that isn't true, No. The tired I was, was tired of giving in." Think about it and we'll see if you're right in a bit! Here's her pic~

Saturday, cleaning did not go as well as I had hoped. But that's okay - sometimes we all get bored of the routine! I took the girls to a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese in Orem. Lovely LOUD fun! And I mean LOUD! That place is ridiculously LOUD! I also took my mom and she got to spend some MUCH NEEDED chat time with her "Sista", Vicki. The kids all had fun and they played and ate and played and spent all of their tokens on cotton candy & a big rainbow spiral sucker. mmmmmm... When we got home, our two extra children (the neighbors who practically LIVE here) came over and had what we like to call a "late night". That was also a whole bunch of little sqealin' girl FUN!!

Check out this picture of Chance! He was HILARIOUS! When Chuck-E came out to sing Happy Birthday, they did a "shout out". So the worker people and Chuck-E would say "we say happy-you say birthday" ~~ Happy!! ~~ Birthday!!~~ and so on and so on...well Chance thought it was WAY too loud! He just kept his little ears covered!

By the way... Tika was ROSA PARKS. (I know, I should have thought before it was over to put cocoa powder on her skin....duh crusan!!!)
