day two/day three

Whoops okay, so this summer schedule has seriously gotten me out of the habit of blogging. I hope it comes back to me in the fall.

Anyway, yesterday included going to the gym in the morning, coming home and eating lunch and then hanging out with lux and mrs tonya next door for the rest of the day. Ever was off at camp and with everyone gone here it was nice to have people to talk to... and do arts & crafts projects with ;) Lux and I had a pretend plastic food picnic on the driveway, played some dress up and drew some pictures. Came home and a little while later dad came home and we ate some grilled cheese sandwiches & tons of fruit. Alison came over last night and we played uno and watched gilmore girls. 

Today included buying large 2 foot twizzlers for our roadtrip on Saturday, getting various other food stuffs for when i'm up there (the meal plan is not really going to cover the whole time) and going to the gym. In a little bit we're taking Ever and Lux to centennial park for the music in the parks and a picnic! 

jimmy's park adventure

yesterday morning alison and I took jimmy to centennial park for a picnic/dog walking adventure. it was so nice and sunny out. jimmy has an apparent fear of other people so walking on a path with bunches of other people was quite a large task. he seemed to do well and we eventually made it all the way around. had peanut butter and jelly, watermelon and brownies for lunch :) 

Happy Birthday to Me

I'm officially 18! I gotta say being 18 doesn't feel any different than 17 or 16 or 15 or 14 except that now I can buy endless amounts of lottery tickets (not that i ever wanted to... ), sign forms and drive after midnight.

Okay, so for starters Alison came over yesterday and we stayed up until midnight because she has a thing for making me open presents at exactly midnight. Megan had brought over some birthday cake before she left for college Tuesday morning too. It's so tasty! (Thanks Megan!!) 

Fell asleep and then woke up around 7:30 to make some blueberry muffins! After the muffins were done we headed over to Centennial Park to eat them and play on the playground. Alison's parents asked her to stay at her house for a few hours to wait for a package so we all ended up going over there and swimming. Sarah had volleyball practice at 12:30 so it was just Alison and I for lunch. Drove over to Royal Farms to get some gas and then went across the street to pick up some pizza and slurpees. Took it back to her house to eat and watch a movie.

Around 2:30 Alison got me in the car and blindfolded me. For a while now she's been telling me that there was a "super secret birthday surprise". Turns out that we were going to a petting zoo! There is a petting zoo on 108 that has a bunch of stuff left over from the Enchanted Forest (a really old amusement park type thing in ellicott city). There were also bunches of farm animals to pet and feed. There was the cutest cow there! I wanted to bring him home with me. 

After my dad got home we all went out to dinner at the Olive Garden for some tasty pasta, breadsticks and salad. Came home and played a game called "In the Pickle" Ate some cake and now we're watching Little Miss Sunshine. Actually only i'm watching it, Alison fell asleep :) 

It was a pretty awesome birthday :)
