Super Fun Update

So ya its true, I have been sooo busy and I apologize for not writing sooner but at least now I can tell you what i've been up to.
So for New Years Eve, we went to our friends house and played Wii and saw some old friends that we haven't gotten together with in almost a year! I played with Bethany because she was the only girl close to my age (she is almost 13). She is so sweet and kind. We played an American Girl game call 300 wishes. It was lots of fun. We left at a bit before 9pm and went home to watch Wall-E. It was actually really cute and funny. After the movie it was a little after 10:30 so we started watching the Rockin' New Years Eve bash in Times Square. I went to my room to grab my pillow as an excuse to not hear the Jonas Brother's perform (i am sorry JB fans but I just don't care for their music.)
We watched the awesome New Years ball drop as we did the countdown into the New Year. So were you all excited or what!?! lol
Well I went to bed at about 1am because I was really quite sleepy.

New Years day, at about 2pm my brother went to his friends birthday party and we were meeting them back at his friends house afterwards for the after party. We got there around 4pm and had tons of pizza (there were five pizzas and I ate about 3 slices and a huge piece of cake and cookies (i had a BIG salad the next day and lots of fruit to make up for that). : )
We played Wii tennis and bowling (which was AWESOME). We had lots of fun. We also watched the Rose Bowl game.

January 2 (aka Friday) I didn't have to babysit because the kids I sit had their dad home from vacation still. I missed them during Christmas break! We didn't do anything out of the ordinary on Friday. I didn't go anywhere but my parents went out for a movie and dinner. They saw Valkyrie which they said was pretty good but sad. Its about the many attempts to assassinate Hitler.

Saturday, I went to my friend Katelyn's house and we exchanged Christmas gifts. She gave me a orange flavored dark chocolate, a candy cane, and a really cute picture frame that has a verse and clock. I gave her a hot chocolate bath set with body wash and body lotion and a scrubby tool (i can't remember the fancy name for it). : P
After exchanging gifts, we went to her brother's basketball game. It was great! His team won their first game! YEAAAA! The second game also had his team win! They did great. It was really intense too. We ate pizza while watching the game and I saw quite a few homeschool friends there (most of their brother's or friends were in the games too). After the game, I went back to Katelyn's and we did scrapbooking together for about an hour and a half until I had to go home for dinner. Pizza was our dinner, so funny! HA HA HA (i still haven't told them that I had pizza for lunch). After dinner I was instant messaging my best friend who I love like a sister (aka BFFWILLAS) and we were talking about New Years, Christmas gifts and what not. I just love chatting with her. You ROCK KAITLYN!!!

Sunday, we had a simple breakfast because we all kinda slept in a tad bit.... OK so I didn't get up until 9:30! Is that a crime?!? Just kiddin! : )
We still made it to church right on time and it was an AWESOME message on letting God have control of your life and doing God's will. I love the verse that says, "I do not have plans to harm you but plans to prosper you." Isn't that just awesome!
After church we went home because AJ really needed a nap. I was trying to convince my dad to take me to Kohls because they are having this HUGE 60-90% off sale on sweaters, jeans, and just about everything else! I didn't succeed in getting my dad to take me but my mom said that she would take me on Monday (today) so now let me get to Monday.

Monday, I had some lovely toast and coffee with my mom and I shared some of my toast with AJ because we were eating downstairs on the couch watching Franklin (one of AJ's fav shows) and of course if I am eating he has to eat it too so of course I shared with him (he is so very cute and lovable!) Well I had to get dressed by 9am because I left to babysitt at 9:15am. I was happy to see the girls again (Marina,4 ;Summer, 2 ; Selah, 1 1/2 months). Selah had a check-up so it was just me, Marina and Summer. We played with puzzles, baby dolls, ate waffles for lunch (I offered turkey and cheese sandwiches but that was a no go so I made eggos! LOL It rhymes).
When the girls mom returned, I got to hold Selah for about 10 minutes before my mom picked me up. We went to Kohls and I got three super cute tops for a total of $27!!!! The original price would have been $110!!!!!!!! I paid a 1/4 that price! I looooove sales! I had a check for $30 dollars from my grandma because we went shopping and Target and JCPenney but I couldn't find anything I liked their so I used that check to buy my clothes. I bought a black/pink sweater dress that has a super cute hood and I like it because I can wear it to church or a fun event and it was originally $40 for $16, a really cute blue/black/white polka dot top that can also be worn casual or church that was originally $30 for $3, and a really cute fur hooded sweater that is like five different colors and was originally $40 for $8 bucks! I never buy anything regular price... NEVER! Well that is whats happened so far. I will post pictures of all my clothes ASAP.

Keepin' ya posted,
