Day 81-92 -- Another Mini Series.

        So after church today (81) I watched some more of those awesome church videos!  They're great.
This past week was really great!  I can't remember all that we did...but Samuel's playschool ended!  Now I get to chill with him all day!  Actually...one day I was sitting in my room one day when all of a sudden he came in to tell me that he wants two pets: A chameleon dragon and a dog.  I guess Miss Martha May isn't good enough for him?  I thought it was hilariouso.  I went to Institute that Thursday, which we had a great lesson, like always.  That Saturday was spend in my room playing Spider Solitaire.  No stop!  -don't think "poor paigey pie" (mom I know you probably did) because I have a nonexistant social life.  But this is probably my fault anyway.  Good news though!  I got to the Advanced level in my game instead of Intermediate.  I had an outloud "yay" moment.
        Yesterday I had the oppurtunity to go teaching with four Elder missionaries!  I really loved it, they taught a 19 year old girl who is getting baptized in a few weeks!  I was glad to input a few little thoughts here and there.  Plus, I was really glad that I was able to actually see missionaries teaching, and how they do it!  It was a learning experience for me for sure!

Day 80 -- Sat Ur Day.

          The Grants had a chapel building reunion, Michelle's childhood building, so we all headed a few hours away to attend!  There were many people there...who I didn't know of course; but it was still fun to see a bunch of new faces.  Rebekah and I got a tad bored...so we took of to the shops!  While walking there it began to pour rain (what other type of pour is there?).  We got soaked!!!  No joke.  Water even soaked through our jackets!

Day 79 -- I Love Neville Longbottom.

          The midnight showing of Harry Potter was fantastic!  I love movie...probably because I never read any of the books.  People say that it is a little different...but that's okay with me because I don't have anything to compare it to!  So once I got a few hours of sleep...I got to hang out with Samuel all day!  Later that night, Dustin took me to go see The Tree of Life.  That was the strangest movie I've ever seen.  I couldn't help but to laugh right in the middle of the serious parts because I was so lost!  Basically...there is a family with three boys.  The dad is extremely strict (like human nature) and the mom is very earthy and loving (divine nature).  So they have their story going on when all of a sudden the movie stops to show us the creation of the earth which contained every type of earthly event ever!  An hour of watching fake dinosaurs and volcanoes made me laugh.  After that stopped...it went straight back to the weird story!  Okay I'm done.
         After that movie, some friends called Dustin to ask if we wanted to go see Harry Potter at midnight.  We accepted.  So I watched that movie twice in the same day.  Hooray!  (No Sarcasm)
Yeah.  It was in 3-D alright.  I look like I have a rat's nest resting on my shoulder.  Don't be frightened; it's only my well-groomed hair.

Day 78 -- Harry Potter? Yeah.

      So this past week...I've been watching all the Harry Potter movies in preparation for the last movie's midnight premier (which I am attending with Michelle and Elena!).  I am a new fan.  I know, I know...I've never liked that kid before.  But it really is so much fun to get into!  I feel like I want to go pull screaming plants out of pots and things like that now...anyway.  Just another hour til the midnight showing!  Oh shoot...I probably should have slept or something...

Day 77 -- Pinterest.

              Michelle introduced me to my new favorite website!  It is called Pinterest, and I added it to my blog pages up above.  Basically, it's an online dream board!  And its such a great idea because every picture you pin, keeps the website with it!  So you never have to write any information down or anything!  I am a pinning fool.  Plus...it's so easy to use!  Even my mom can use it-no offense mom.  Mom:  I think that you would love this pinning thing!  You could make a board for your future home or pictures that you want to draw one day!  Its great!  Check mine out.  You'll love it!

Day 76 -- Bunny Hop. Now!

         While walking home with Samuel from picking him at playschool...I jumped into a pole.  Yeah.  I was holding his hand and talking to him about how to jump like frogs and bunnies, not looking at where I was going.  He told me to jump like a bunny and WHAM.  I smacked the street light with my whole body.  It was such a cartoon moment where I had no idea what just happened.  I stood there for a few seconds, Samuel pointing and laughing at me, then noticed the line of cars waiting for the street light to turn green right next to me.  I didn't make eye contact with any of the people inside the cars.  It hurt.  I even bruised me knee.

Day 75 -- Pretzels Do Not Belong In Mini Umbrellas.

            This morning looked like it was about to pour rain.  So I took my coat and hot with me while I walked Samuel to playschool.  On the way back home, it got really hot and sunny!  I was seriously sweating...I think I got sunburned.  After I picked Sam back up, we had some strawberries.  He didn't want to eat anything else except for pretzels.  So I made myself some lunch; Cucumber stuffed with tuna!  Yum!  When I went to go get Samuel, I saw that he filled a mini umbrella with his pretzels!  As soon as I told him, "Pretzels do not belong in mini umbrellas," I had to laugh at myself.  I never thought that I would ever have to say that sentence.  Of course I never even thought up that sentence to say...but it was just funny.
           After lunchish, we painted a paper mache dinosaur that we've been working on for a whole week now!  That flour/water mixture takes forever to dry.  Then we walked to the corner shop and bought some smarties and Rolos to melt onto pretzels.  They were delightful!
