Events

Hey everyone!!
Here is a little update on what has been happening lately. Sorry for not posting sooner I just never got around to it. I do enjoy blogging so thank you for those gentle reminders for a new post...
I guess I will tell you guys about a recent event I attended. Joanna Van Dyken's Birthday party!!! This past Wednesday I hitched a ride with Aaron to volley ball. Where Rachel and Joanna awaited my arrival. Finally the other girls arrived. ( Emily W. Amanda K. and Kristen Z. ) Six girls in all!! We jumped on the trampoline, played a short game of soccer and just had fun. That night we enjoyed a game of hot potato and received some pretty cool party favours. ( Candyyyyyy....) Enjoying some special treats (chips, pop, candy, etc.) we talked and talked and talked a little more. ( Ever played concentration in the dark... it's a blast!!) The following morning we had pancakes, peaches, and sausages for breakfast. ( Mmmmm) We played all sorts of games. (like Go to Rome, concentration with animal sounds, trampoline games, etc.) For lunch we roasted hot dogs over a nice ,warm, toasty fire in the woods ,while being eaten alive by mosquitoes. ( Ok, so maybe it was mostly burning twigs and birch bark but... good enough) After a fun filled day, Mr V. drove me home with Amanda. ( Thanks for the ride) I dragged my tired body up two full porch steps to my door way. ( whew) Only to find 125 papers waiting inside for me to deliver them. So ya I went on my bike and delivered them all. Then collapsed in bed. ( I don't think I did anything else...)
The next morning being Friday I awoke to voices coming from downstairs. Sigh how nice it was to be finished school and be able to sleep in a little later than usual. I glanced at my alarm clock " Good, only 8:30" I thought to myself. My eyelids drooped............. EIGHT THIRTY!!!!!!!
Oh boy was I in trouble now. I had to babysit in only 30 minutes and I wasn't even out of bed yet. My body kicked into gear I jumped out of bed, pulled my covers over, found some cloths to wear, ate a bowl of cereal, quickly brushed my teeth, and away I went racing down the street like a chicken with its head cut off. Thankfully I got there on time and everything was just fine. ( The kid I babysit was a brat as usual, but hey life can't be perfect) So that day I don't think I did much. Except for babysit. Because, I also babysat some other kids from down the street for an hour. ( That reminds me I still have a check to deposit)
Saturday was David's sixth birthday. ( The first day of Summer!!!) We had pancakes for breakfast like we always do. And David got one gift that morning a remote controlled 4-wheeler. ( Re gift but it still works) Than I went with my dad in the car to go pick up the van to go pick up a lawn mower from a house Aaron had left it at. ( So dad could mow) After that Dad decided it was time the van had an oil change so we stopped by Mr. Lous garage. I vacuumed and dusted the upstairs when we got home then went back out for a dollar store birthday gift and cake.David really liked the little things he got from everyone so it turned out to be a pretty good birthday.
Well, I'm getting tired of typing now. So this is good bye for now. Hopefully I will post some pictures of something random soon. lol. Enjoy!!!
