May 8th

This was a very exciting sleep over event. I had the help of Teddy and Sir Bunny. We had a very good time. Teddy and Sir Bunny came over Thursday night to help me make Tamales. We stayed up all night making home made chicken tamales from scratch. They turned out so yummy. And also i reconnected with one of my old friends that i used to live with who has a daughter Devis aged named Lyra. She is very cool and has grown up so much since the last time i had seen her. For some reason Teddy and Sir Bunny deciced that they would stay after the kids showed up on friday night. It was so cool. Sir Bunny helped me prepare the whole dinner and Teddy played with the little critters. It was so cute!! Teddy sat on the floor with them and played Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders. He helped build a huge train set and hung out with them to watch Invader Zim. It rocked. I had never seen Teddy with kids before and needless to say my heart melted a bit. All the grown ups helped to paint faces and it was way helpful usually it is only me doing the face painting. Sir Bunny did a rockin job on Micheal's face. The kids even got to turn the paint brush on Teddy and Sir Bunny. That was something to see. Devi painted Teddy to be a white tiget that just ate complete with blood and all. And then Devi and Eli tagged teamed Sir Bunny, He was COVERED. The insides of his ears were painted and his hands and arms. It was intense. But so cute. Devi and Eli were so excited that they got to paint a grown up! It was a way cool night and i for sure am going to have to have Lyra over again! Devi and Lyra got along so well. I found Devi Pippi Longstocking hair at the Our Store Aids thift store. It is so cool!! We are reading the Pippi Longstocking book right now. It is so fun!!

2 weeks after Zombie jesus day...

This weekend sleep over was a little bit different. This night I had Jessie and Kellen come over to help me because the kid line up for this night was Micheal (7), Eli (5), Devi (5), Katie (6) and Colby (4) so i had a lot of kids. Chad katie and colbys dad brought over pizza and garlic knots and we had lots of pizza. Jessie and Kellen brought over Hungry hungry hippos and for a fun activey we had crushed up worms in dirt. The kids got to crush up oreo cookies put them over a scoop of ice cream and add gummi worms!! Super yummy jessie and i made ones ourselves!! We also watched this crazy claymation 'kid' show called Grizzly tales for gruesome kids. It was kinda strange but the kids liked it. What else..... We did some kick ass face painting that night!! And it was really fun to have Katie and Colby over for the first time. Micheal and Katie hardly ever get to hang out anymore so it was really exciting for them. We all had a lot of fun. Even Jessie and Kellen had a good time. It was a really good time, I have been thinking we should have them over again sometime. And of course pictures lots of pictures....

Easter

Yes that is right easter. I dont keep up this blog very well and since i almost never take photos unless it is a sleep over night i am going to do 3 updates tonight starting with zombie jesus day. I had the boys over that night and we did easter eggs. How traditional of me right? we did some very cool eggs, and the next night when dev was over at the boys house they got to hide them in their really cool yard and look for them. So anyway a lot happened that night. We did eggs and drew pictures and i got to see Micheal direct plays. We listened to Sigur Ros to try to calm down the crazy kids and Most of all we had some fun!!! Which is what matters most right? I think so... I got to use black and white on my camera which i dont get to do often enough. I really love black and white. I got some really good shots of the kids that night! I think they look really good anyway. I took a lot of photos. Here some are........ This was also the first apperence of the super hero team. POWER KIDS UNITE!!! So in this super hero team there is WIND BOY played by the 'leader' Micheal and BUTTERFLY GIRL played by non other then Devi and BABY BOX BOY played by the very cute Eli. (i guess he is just called box baby) (eli gives the best hugs!!!) So i had super hero kids in my home that night and got see them in action. So here is some videos of them in action.... I guess the 'bad' guy is this teddy bear named evil pronounced E vile. It is really funny to watch them fight E vile. according to micheal evil happens a lot at his house...... So Cute!!! Sorry the last video is so dark. It was night and the lights in my apartment were not helping the filming. You get the idea though.... These kids are so imaginative. It is crazy. How did we get such cool original kids?
