Venture to the Mall and Haunted House!!!

This one is for you Angie!!!


Hairless Guinea Pig!






We set out for our journey to Windward Mall last night the whole way looking for a Pizza Hut Restaurant but we failed miserably. So we decided to find some parking once we found the Mall, it was the first time we had been to that mall so we had no clue if we were going in the right direction or not and the kids wouldn't stop carrying on, so Dann told them we would go back home if they didn't stay quite until we got there. So Sarah shouts "Zip it, Lock it up, and throw away the Key!", that brought back some child hood memories. So we finally get there and look for parking for a while and then finally get inside!!

The first thing we saw was a huge tunnel playground, I automatically was impressed and thought, here is a kid friendly place!! We didn't do the playground this time but Sarah got on the little Carousel with two babies, she was in heaven! Then Dann and Sarah went to the pet store and so it was Julias' turn to get on the carousel. After her ride she wanted some candy from one of the many machines, it was definitely a kid trap in there! I didn't get her the candy because we didn't have any more quarters (plus she gets nuts when she gets it). Next we met up with Dann and Sarah at the pet store, they had hairless Guinea Pigs and 3 day old chicks! Soooo cute(the chicks at least the hairless Guinea Pigs were kind of creepy and bizzare but great for people with allergies I'm sure)!!


That was enough of "The Kid Trap"next it was on to the Haunted House. We waited in anticipation as we heard screams coming from inside and saw people come out looking scared, I kept thinking, is this going to be too scary? It was fine though, Dann held Julia and I held Sarah. She just closed her eyes for the most part.The scariest thing were the masked people waiting in dark corners, talking all creepy, and moving towards us. They had black curtains hung in each door way so I kept thinking someone was going to jump out, they also had a freaky clown, scared me and Sarah to the bone. So once we had about three more rooms to go I would just start looking for the nearest exit, I don't know about Sarah, but I had had enough!!


We were really hungry after the Haunted House so we waited at IHOP for about 25 minutes, got bored of that and went to Ruby Tuesdays and they had a 20 minute wait so we were out of there! What do you think we saw no less then 5 minutes of driving? YES, it was Pizza Hut...and it was good. Once we got in the car and shortly after deciding it was possible to share the beach towel they had conked out.

Fantastic Day!

Sarah and I had a great day together. We put away the dishes,made banana chocolate chip muffins that we ate through out the day, went grocery shopping, played Tinkerbell online, and picked up Julia,one of the teacher tells me that Julia made a new friend today! Sarah was a good big sister and patted Julia on the head when we picked her up. When we got home from picking up Julia at PreK we went over The "Pocket Daring Book for Girls Things To Do", provided by our friend Erin. This book is great for any one who needs activities for kids. There is one chapter on 14 different kinds of tag, we got through 7 and I was exhausted, one of the tags was Zombie Tag, Julia was it so she had to pretend she was a Zombie and so she tagged me and I was a Zombie too, that was when Sarah decided she didn't like Zombie Tag, Julia got confused and then frustrated by most of them but we all had fun none the less. Julia fell asleep early needless to say and so Sarah and I enjoyed a delicious dinner of Salad and Rice with sugar peas on top. She ate everything with the promise of gushers for dessert, she's such a good little girl.

Sarahs' fall break

Yesterday was a little hectic, I was in and out of the house all day with showings and what not. Luckily Dann and Mom were both there for the girls. I did make the mistake of giving Sarah chocolate chips and then she flipped out later when I wouldn't give her anymore. No chocolate chips for Sarah today! She ended up kicking my mom last night and so I put her in time out and that's when she started dumping out all of her toys. Well that's when I had to leave for a showing. When I got back Dann had finally calmed her down with some Invader Zim. I told her she still needed to apologize to my mom and clean her room. So she did!!! She was such a good little girl and Dann and I were both pleased and pleasantly surprised. Today we are just relaxing and Sarah has acquainted me with The imagination Movers.

Busy Girls

The girls and Grammy are going to a play today while I work. It should be a good little break for Dann after our wild ventures over the weekend. This week is Fall Break so Sarah and I are going to have to keep busy, maybe she can have some more play dates with her buddy too. It's going to be fun having some one on one time with Sarah, we haven't had that in a long time.

The girls and I went out to some fun fair thing today, they had Jamba Juice, glued shells on picture frames, Sarah got a crown painted on her face, they played a ball in cup, had shave ice, and bought books from the book fair. It was a fun hour.

Sarah and Julias' First Sleep Over

The girls just had their second Play Date yesterday with a girl named Alexandra from Sarah's school, they had so much fun that it turned into a slumber party, first one for all three of them. They all had a lot of fun,Alex's Mom, Kristen brought gourmet cupcakes, yummy! We all had pizza for dinner, and then made cookies. Sarah had a little explosion yesterday right after dinner but she settled down before the cookies were ready. Julia had a explosion at about 10 pm last night until I took her out, gave her some hugs, Dann and I read her a story, and then she was ready to get back into bed all by herself, Alex and Sarah were already asleep by the time Julia settled down. It's always hard when there is an odd number, Sarah exploded because Julia and Alex were having fun and Sarah felt left out, Julia exploded because Sarah was in the middle of Julia and Alex. So we all know how that goes when there is an odd man out. The three of them were really great and there were no fights at all. They had pancakes for breakfast, watched Calou, and had popsicles before it was time for Alex to go. Sarah,Alex, and Julia were trying to find a way to keep Alex's mom out, rigging traps and what not, funny little kids. It's great to know we have a friend to trade kids off with, very fun for all!

More Art

Sarah was asking me what a Dinosaur skull looked like, so I brought out our "Dinosaur Jane" book and then she practiced drawing the skull. The mermaid is from yesterday, she went through a faze last year, where mermaids was all she would draw so she got pretty good.
