Being A Kid For A Day

So today I went to go hang out with the Snow boys for the afternoon before I leave on Friday.

Bennett wanted to ride bikes =D ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!!

The only thing he could yell was "Faster! Faster!"

This 3 year old doesn't do anything slowly.

Plus he's adorable.

He had me help him get down the driveway.

But apparently I wasn't fast enough between holding him, the camera and another bike.

He likes to be the chaser.
But not getting chased.

And Grant was speedy on his scooter!

ZOOOMM!!!!!

But Bennett decided to take a break from all that biking.

Chillin on the bike.

Grant decide to rest too.

He was excited to show me that the bike would not roll backwards if you decided to rest.

By the way, this is the COOLEST bike ever!

The back wheels spin openly so the front wheel serves as the pivot.

It's like that swirl-a-whirl at the fair, but on a BIKE!

It is awesome!!!

I am totally going to buy one of these now. They should make them for adults.

After all that exercise we went inside to play some "old fashioned" video games.
(That's what the boys call N64....)

But to them, it is still new and exciting. =]

Good to share old school with the young ones. =]

Like Poke'mon Stadium.

They were addicted.

Bennett was amazed how "big" the games were.

Oh how easily amused the minds of 3 year olds are.

Told you he was cute!

Nate and Grant battling like all siblings do. (Or at least mine).

And Bennett continues his amusement with the games in his own way.

Of course after all this, Bennett got glue-like hair gel ALL in his hair and had a lovely time trying to get it out considering NO ONE was allowed to help him except his mother but Grant ended up bribing him with pennies.

Yup, gotta love 3 year olds. =]

Before I left I got a hug from Bennett, Nate even let me hug him and Grant gave me TWO hugs!
(Grant gives the best hugs!)

I'm going to miss these boys, having spent the past 4 or so years babysitting them.

I'm amazed at how much they have grown but wouldn't trade my experiences and adventures with them for anything in the world.

These boys truly are amazing.

Go ride your bike in a circle
Do something silly
Fuss over nothing
Get excited over the small things
Laugh always
And say cheeeeeeeesssse
as wide as you can

Motivation? Zero. Video games? Lots.

So I have 10 days left until I go back out West. I think my body is anxious because I haven't slept well at all in days.

On the bright side, I have gotten to see several of my friends before I leave and play loads of video games. Robert and I played some N64 and Wii Thursday.
Friday night, Hannah and I played some Mario Kart Wii.
Then Saturday I introduced the Snow boys to N64 (they were less than thrilled with how difficult the original Mario Kart was) but they adored Poke'mon Stadium. (figured right?)
but of course after playing with them, what did Hannah want to do? But play Mario Kart with Lizzy and I =D

I think the best part was when we were deciding which one to play, Hannah says "The one we played last night", yes because I can totally remember what I played with you over every other person I have played video games with in the past 3 days. But it was all good, and Lizzy made a great come back and kicked our butts.

In other news, I have been craving Fun Dip.

Oh the brilliance of the Wonka company =D

And how could we ever forget Peanut Butter M&M's????

(Only the best kind ever!) And my friend Sam tried them for the first time yesterday! O.o
And of course he was immediately addicted to them.

I wish I still had some left =[

But as I said, Hannah and Lizzy came over Saturday night, but not before Hannah and I made a late night Food Lion run to get ice cream (because we had none in the house), And of course Hannah wore her stunning pjs to the store. We found a great deal on Edy's ice cream, buy one, get one free! Edy's is normally expensive so who could say no to that?

Lizzy's pretty self!

And Hannah!

Is going to suddenly become Asian (it was late, and we were tired).

=]

But of course, we made pizzokie.

One giant cookie!

Amazing?

YESSS!!!!!!

This is after I had my way with it....teeheehee

Heart attack anyone?
Or should I say, delicious heart attack.

My best friends with an awesome treat.

That we barely made a dent in.

But it was still delicious! =D

In other news, I hung out with Sam yesterday, just caught up some more since we rarely get to see each other. And then I went over to Marissa's and we watched "Freedom Writers" (which was very good by the way). Overall, I've had a good weekend.

Now if I can get a good night sleep. Oh and working like crazy this week.

Jump up and down if you're a dork
(Yes, I am jumping up and down)
Now go hug somebody!

It Finally Happened

I got sick

=[

So what did I do? I went to bed and slept and now I feel mostly better. I think I will take some medicine and go back to bed.

But in other news

I just remembered I have German Chocolate!

I think I'll eat it tomorrow if I feel better.

I met a guy named Jordan at Devotional today from Matt Hiatt's ward. He lives next door to Matt, small world huh?

And Drew came over and played our N64 for a bit. I realized I am SUPER rusty at Mario Kart =[
But considering I can't remember the last time I played video games, I don't feel so bad.

And I'm watching the movie "Elf" for the 50 bazillionth time because for some reason, Nicole has somehow missed it the past bazillion times.

But I think I am going to make hot cocoa, I think it will warm my soul and make me feel happy

Any maybe write some letters.

11 Days until I go home!

Laugh
Joke
Have fun
