DDDDDDDD-NOW! D-NOW!!!

 

 

Ok I was a bad bad photographer this weekend.  I guess the whole making sure 12 teenage girls get ready and get to where they have to go, did a number on me.  I kept leaving the house with out my camera.  So what you are about to experience is D-NOW on Saturday evening after we got back from the Church.  At this point we had all the girls and the 11th and 12th grade boys.  For a total of 16 teenagers.

First It was about 11:00 at night and I hopped them up on sugar, cause I am brave that way.  I will look danger in the face and say bring it on in the form of a bunch of teenagers.

*** Disclaimer - I will only stand in the face of danger in the form of a bunch of teenagers, if they are good teenagers.  These were good teenagers.  At least they were at that moment. ;)

We made Smeeps!  What you have never heard of smeeps?? Well let me show you!

 

Smores with Peeps = SMeeps

What, What!!!!

Mmmmmm Sugary goodness!

Jake, one of the guys, then took my camera and started taking random pictures.

 

See my Vacuum?  Yeah I heard Martha Stewart say one time that if your vacuum is out when company comes over, it makes it seem like you are all domesticated and stuff.  At least I think it was Martha Stewart?  Maybe it was Peg Bundy ......

Someone needs a haircut....

Ummm Yeah.........

More to come....well more to come when I get more pictures from Melinda, since she took her camera.  :)

Surprise!!!

 

Syds best friend Jessi turned 15 the other day.  Syd and their other friend Megan wanted to do something special for Jessi.  So they decided to throw her a surprise birthday party.  Unfortunately  Megan had prior plans for the date they had for the party, so she did not make it.  :(

Sunday afternoon Syd, myself, and three other friends descended on Jessi's house.

She had no idea we were coming, so she was lying on the couch watching tv, probably ready to take a nap.  We got there and said surprise and go get ready.  Have you been around 5 teenage girls trying to get ready, even if its only one that is actually getting ready.

 

This right here is a momentous occasion.  Jess never, and I mean NEVER likes to wear real shoes.  Flip flops and flip flops only for that girl.  Even if its 20 degrees outside, but since everyone else had boots on, Jess wore her super cute black boots.

Then Jess opened some presents...

Syd gave her socks, long tall socks, cause thats what she likes to wear for cheerleading practice.  Thats her dad Ricky, hi Ricky.  Everyone say hi to Ricky.  He reads, but never comments.

So this is our group and we are ready to go.....

But go where???????

Jess has no idea where we are going, or what we are doing.  ~insert evil laugh~

We blindfolded her so she would not know where we were going.

~insert evil laugh again~

So we lead her down the cobblestone sidewalks of downtown.....

I believe this is right after Syd almost hurt them both, after tripping over the sidewalk.

And here we are at the entrance of a very special place....

Santa's Village!!!!!!!!

We had our picture made with (Notice how I say we and I am in none of the pictures)

A Gingerbread Man

A penguin...actually it was a penguin and an elf, but I did not have permission from the elf so he did not get to be in the picture.

Then with some super cute, groovy, makes everything look all psychedelic and stuff glasses.....

 

Then we passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then we walked through the Lincoln Tunnel. Ok not really, we went to the icicle maze Woooooo...

Notice that it is just Syd and Jess, the others were waiting in line for hot chocolate

Did I mention that it was freezing?  After quite mild weather, old man winter decided to show up for a little while on our little excursion.

While they were still waiting on hot chocolate (they had to wait forever), Syd and Jess went to go make cookies.

Waiting in line.....

 

Icing the cookies....

Eating the cookies.....

So we meet back up with the others, still waiting in line....

Here we are on the sled at the children around the world area.

Then we were off to our next location.  I didn't get any pictures there.  I did not want to get my camera taken up.  We went and saw "Twilight"!!  That was my third time to see the movie.  At the movie we picked up another girl, and after the movie we lost two girls. 

We went and ventured through Target for awhile and then we went home.  Thats my story and I am sticking to it!

I do not know what that is in their hands or where it came from.  You believe me right???

Winner Winner Turkey Dinner!!

 

 

Drumstick please............

And the winner of Turkey Smackdown 2008 is..........

 

Number 6!!!!!  This was Syd's creation and she will NEVER let us forget it.  :)

HEY EVERYBODY!! this is Sydney! I would like to thank everyone for voting for my "hot" turkey.(which is what I like to call it).Thank you for giving me this award even though mom wont give me anything for winning it, but thank you :D

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!!!  Gobble till you Wobble!!!!!!!

 

Can somebody bring me some soap?

 

 

Because after they cleaned up, both Lisa and I probably are running low. 

Saturday after waiting for a long, long, long time, poor little Sydney finally got to go muddin with her friends.  Not that she couldn't have gone before, but she always had something going on when they would go.

A couple of weeks ago they even called her at about 9:30 at night and wanted to know if she could go riding.  Now I would have let her, because these are friends she has known forever.  As a matter of fact her and (lets just call him J.R.) J.R. have known each other their whole lives.

He would be one of the few people I would trust going riding at 9:30 at night.  Guess what though?  He was just pulling her leg to see what she would say.  Poor thing she got all ready to go and they were just playing.  I knew something had to be up, because I knew his Mama wasn't going to let him go riding at night.  That's why I called to see what was up.  :)

 

Back to Saturday, let me just say the word filthy does not describe what they were.

They had mud in their ears......

Mud in their hair.....

It was everywhere....

I am thinking we are gonna need a lot of Tide to get the mud out of those clothes.

After Syd finally got all the mud off of her, she said her skin felt really soft and smooth.  I wonder why?
