Day 2 – the Day of the Fearless Girls

Standard

The girls started out the day by deciding to forgo the China Ann McClain concert because of the crowd.

When we finally got motivated we decided to go Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall

First we were pulled into the Airbrush Tattoo booth, because well ‘like mother like daughter!’ Brae’s is a hummingbird and flower.

Gillian’s is a fierce tiger! ROAR!

Then on to the rides. My kids apparently are the opposite of me. They love thrill rides like roller coasters and Detonator-type rides.

 

That is the Spongebob Roller Coaster, which my oldest rode twice. I am sure she would have kept going if I had let her.

Then we did some old-fashioned carnival games before we headed back to the hotel. Six hours of running around an amusement park in a mall is tiring!

On our way out we ran into the Brownie Elf and some of the Daisy Petals. This is Brae and I with one of them.

After that we went back to the hotel, ordered in Chinese takeout and then went swimming. We were all super tired, but in a completely awesome kind of way!

Here Lies My Pinkie Finger, Rest In Peace

just kidding….I did not lose any of my digits, promise.

and you do not want to know about the conversation leading up to that title…I promise that also!

Have a splendid week!

And shoot me some Halloween ideas if you have a chance because I am hosting two spectacular costume extravaganzas this year and I need a little help!

Henceforth I Shall Be Called Zocka Zocka Eh-Zock-Ewan

Standard

This is how games go terribly wrong.

The game started in the car on the way home from school.

Princess said she was to be called Beans 2 from now on. Whatever her sister’s name was, hers would be that with a 2.

Of course, Beans being the lovely and evil sister she is promptly changed her name to Poop. Therefore Princess would be Poop 2…haha….get it?

After laughing hysterically when Bubby started pointing at them and calling them both ‘Poop’, they decided I should change my name from Mommy to something else.

I thought long and hard about something that is not easily said but funny at the same time.

Then I announced, ‘I am renouncing the name Mommy and henceforth I shall be called Zocka Zocka Ehzockewan.

My kids tried to say it three or four times then announced the game was over.

Lame.

However, I think I might keep it and no longer answer to Mommy….what do you think? : )
