Nair actually turned out to be a good idea.....

     Okay so last weekend Kami and I were left at my house with nothing to do...so naturally we decided that Kami needed to experience her first facial! At first is was a ton of giggles, fun, and pictures until it was time to take them off......now of course something had to go wrong right? Well as I finished washing the green stuff off my face I look over and Kami has completely clogged the sink.

        Of course my first reaction was to look for the draino as fast as I could so that Mama Sue wouldn't come home and be mad. Well I have no clue what draino even looks like or if it's just something I heard on TV. So instead I decided to test the one and only thing I learned in Science (Mr. Sidesinger's class). For some reason the only thing I can remember from that class in Mr. Sidesinger has a lot of stories about him and his buddies getting drunk in college and that Nair can unclog drains. I found the Nair and went to work.
Nobody warned me that Nair is the most horrible smell on the planet! Why is it that my ideas to solve problems usually adds another problem?

         Hailey came over and walked into our nasty smelling house and just about died of laughter! Kami and I were both holding our breath while trying to get rid of the smell and the crap in the drain at the same time! Windows were open the drain now works and I look like a genius that fixed the drain before the parents arrived home! :) It's okay if they read this now because they can't get mad at something I fixed right?

          Next we decided we had to get out of the house before we destroy it! So naturally we decide to make a nice/creepy candy poster for some hot senior boy! Yes all three of us are in love! We tried knocking on his door three times and of course Kami slipped in the snow and peed her pants the first time, Hailey almost peed her pants of laughter the second time, and Kami went alone the third time because we were too scared to. I conveniently was the driver so I didn't have to slip or be seen!

           This was a pretty great weekend! Next weekend is extra long so I'm a little worried at what the three of us will accomplish!
Kami is probably going to kill me when she sees this one!

We got really good at holding our breath


Here is our lovely candy poster! Hailey's hand is conveniently covering up his name!

Lots to Talk About!

       I have to talk about my Saturday two weeks ago. This whole day was spent cooking up a storm! This day also completely ruined pumpkin for me....for a good 3 days then my mom made pumpkin pie and I was back to normal! Cooking is just what me and my friends love to do! We are constantly reminding each other that we will be doing to exact same thing in 3ish years in college...I'm not sure how much food a college budget can pay for but we'll just take out a loan or something :). The cooking will never end! We made- pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, lemon roll, pumpkin crunch, some weird pumpkin cake thing, apple crisp, apple pie, some kind of drink that involved orange and lemon, and some chili. It was a really good/random meal but I was extremely sick or eating pumpkin!






        Next I have to show off my friend Steph. She keeps looking at my blog and getting upset because she isn't on it so here ya go Steph! Stephanie is freakin good at being a dinosaur! I got to go to three camps with her this summer! I couldn't have picked a better buddy to go to camp hobe with! She is so good at killing giant bees, listening to horrifying mice with me at 2 in the morning, putting up with my good and bad moods, and of course playing with 200 kids for a week straight. I love this girl! Steph is really good at tennis and has ATTEMPTED to teach me a couple times.......(not my best sport). She just laughed at me the whole time but it was fun! I love my baking days with just me and Steph! This girl is practically perfect in every way!


         Then I have to talk about my girls! This past weekend I got to stay at the Gloeckner's house and play with them all day and all night! We mostly jammed out to music and took Anna (the oldest out of the three) to basketball. But we were able to fit a couple more things in between. One of my favorite parts of the weekend was our movie nights. The girls would tell me to invite my friends over (Kami and Hailey) and we would all cuddle and watch a movie. Most of the time Anna and I feel asleep first..not counting Cate (3 years old) who would ask me if she could go to bed half way through the movie.(only the perfect little Cate would ever ask if she could go to bed). We also got to play restaurant which the girls were all over! Olivia made the table look pro and helped Kami make cookies and bread sticks. Anna helped me make soup. Then Cate just danced around keeping everyone happy. I love these girls to death! Sometimes I have to kick them out of the car and make them run to the next stop sign or corner but I love them anyway! They aren't just the girls that I nanny, they are three friends who love to hear all my big high school stories and that I love to laugh with! What nanny could ask for better girls?

In order to keep these girls happy we needed two separate couches and two separate popcorn bowls...did mention these girls never stop eating popcorn!

Hailey got a little hyper during Mary Poppins. (Kami and Olivia are best friends)

I'm guessing we both fell asleep about 2 seconds after this was taken!

It is impossible to keep this girls hair in a pony tail. Next time we are trying something new!


I told them to count how many girls were on he team just to entertain them...

Cate loved helping Kami make cookies...but I secretly think she just wanted to steal some dough!

MORP!!!!!

          Last Saturday I went to my first high school dance! Morp taught me 7 things 1- never give up 2- there is no such thing as a cheap dance 3- It's impossible to make everyone happy until the day of the dance 4-The harder you dance the faster time flies (and the less you can move the next day) 5- I have the funnest group of friends ever! 6- Naps are completely necessary the day after the dance 7- Driving a 15 passenger van full of teenagers and loud music is by far the funnest way to go from one place to another!
         
            I'm going to explain the never give up one because that is by far the most entertaining. So nobody warned me how hard it is to find a date to a dance! Everyone started asking about 8 weeks before the dance. In my opinion you have to wait until it's at least the month of the dance! But since I didn't want everyone to be taken I started asking exactly 7 weeks before the dance....I had no idea I would be asking 4 boys...My first idea was so ask a kid named Zach. But right when I leave to go to Zach's house I find out he has a girl friend....So I redid the poster and switched Zach's name to Matt. I asked Matt that night then the next day I get a text from him saying he is going with someone else. (2 boys down 2 more to go). That Monday we didn't have school so I decided to ask Inoke (he doesn't go to Brighton). I went to Inoke's school and had the office lady give him the cute note thing and cookies. 2 weeks later I get a message on facebook saying he is going to his school's morp so he can't go with me...(3 boys down 1 more to go). So after getting rejected over a text and over facebook I was in need of a pep talk from Kami and Hailey! They convinced me to try one more time! By this time I'm asking boys that I have never talked to before. I decided to ask Nathan. This time it was just out of boredom on a Sunday afternoon. I asked Nathan and then 1 week later I found a pumpkin on my porch that had y.e.s inside! I finally found a date to morp! I started asking 7 weeks early and I got a date 1 week before morp! NEVER GIVE UP! But for the next dance I really hope I get a date the first try!

            Morp ended up being so much fun and well worth the work! I was worried about it being awkward because of the fact that I had known Nate since 1st grade but I had never talked to him before, but in the end it was perfect! We kidnapped them, then we carved pumpkins, then we went to the dance, after the dance we went paint balling! I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF MORP!

I loved my group so much!
