Thursday
Today's Thursday. Which means I went to help out at a friend's house. Which means I have some stories to tell. We started out like last time. Busy morning. We packed everyone into the 15-passenger van and went to the gym, with Mouse and Shades calling my name on the way then hiding behind the nearest object. J-man and Mouse had a good time at gym, but I think both of them ended up loosing their stickers. A moment of silence please, for those lost stickers. Alright. Silence over. Then we went shopping again {but this was a "shorter trip" because we only had to go to one store}.
{Btw, I'm changing "M&M" to "Gabby" (she talks a lot).} Gabby talked to me on the way to the cereal, and she told me about a picture she had painted of a cabin. She explained that it was hard to make the brown color, and that it was her secret recipe. She leaned in and whispered, "I can't tell you how to make it because..." she paused and looked thoughtful, before continuing, "I don't remember." That made me smile.
We went home and ate lunch. Then Cool Shades needed her diaper changed. *grimace* Yeah...that was my first time changing a diaper. Sad, isn't it? Anyway...we got ready and I explained to the small group of onlookers, "This is my first time changing a diaper, y'all, so please don't laugh..." And then Cool Shades herself tilted her head back and laughed almost mechanically. That was funny.
Hm...any other highlights? *thinking* I helped some with school games and things. Cowboy, Manny, and I played a game where we had to throw a bomb across the sea, making sure not to let it land in the water, because then it would surely explode. But don't worry. With Cowboy and Manny there to dive into the water and retrieve the bomb, we didn't need to worry about being blown up...except for when I threw it...then we died. Oh, and apparently, for those people out there like me who hadn't played the game before, throwing the bomb at the wall gives you "infinity" points, and throwing it on the mantle gives you "beyond".
That's about it. *sigh* Well...Chair is going to Vegas. Have fun, Chair!! Hope you do well! Show them Vegas-ies {...?} that Texans got skill. And Will is still in *bleep*. Flint doesn't read my blog {that I know of}, and Render...is he back yet? So, Marissa, here's my day! :) Welcome back, btw. We missed you.

Crazy Day
Today was fun. A bit strange. A bit crazy. A bit funny. A bit weird. But it was fun. This Thursday was the first of many that I will helping a family with 8 kids. I was really looking forward to it. Today was so much fun. First we went to gymnastics, because "J-man" and "Micky Mouse" take gym. All the rest of the gang came too {except "Cowboy", who was helping his dad at the house}. The "gang" consists of {in youngest to oldest, the oldest being 10 I think (nicknames to protect privacy)}:
1. "Miss Cool Shades" ~ 2 years old, cute, can't tell the difference between her feet {literally}, likes sunglasses, shoes, and pizza. Her catchphrase is: "Ew...gross...nasty!"
2. "Micky Mouse" ~ 3 years old, energetic {very!!}, sweet, likes my phone, my hat, my house, my mom....and trying to hide things when she thinks I'm not looking.
3. "J-man" ~ turning 4 years old, dangerous!!!! Energetic! Has the most cute, monkey-ish {slightly evil} smile in the world!! Apparently he likes butterscotch lollipops *makes CHOMP noise* and pieces of fuzz that used to be a deerskin blanket....? Oh, and his favorite activities may include swinging from chandeliers and climbing out windows {that happened a long time ago}.
4. "Manny" ~ 4 years old. He's the strong, silent type. I think he will be a good football player. He likes riding in between two moving grocery carts, making funny faces, shooting people with guns {his fingers}, and bouncing.
5. "Cowboy" ~ 5 years old. Likes guns and fixing things. I didn't get to spend as much time with him as with the others because he was helping his dad with something. I will say he's probably the hardest to understand out of all of them. Sometimes you simply have to resort to smiling and nodding while saying occasionally, "Yeah. That's cool." I hate doing that...not understanding them...kind of awkward.
6. "Gabby" ~ 7 years old. Likes dolls, books, dresses, and talking. She talked alot. But not unpleasantly a lot. She's very sweet. A good helper. Big, blue eyes. She told me her favorite Lord of the Rings movie was the third one. And she hated the second. *I-don't-agree-with-that look* But oh well. :)
7. "X-box" ~ 9 years old. Likes X-box, games, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, computer games, swords, now-or-later candies. He's nice to talk to and very intelligent.
8. "Sewing Machine" ~ 10 years old. Very responsible and a good helper. Likes to sew, cook, read, and play computer. She's very wise for her age and she's kind of quiet...well, not to my sister anyway {they're really good friends}, but she has very good self control.
Phew...I think that's everyone. Well, we went to gym first and I watched Tom and Jerry with the kids who weren't in class. I haven't seen that show in a while. Not much has changed. Poor Tom is still persecuted for merely trying to eat, Jerry is still ganging up on Tom with the help of his scheming dog friend, and that little "touche, pussycat!" mouse is still trying to become a mouseketeer.
After that we went shopping. This was a very new experience. We went to two stores. I have never had to shop with two carts. Ever. Cool Shades was riding in the first cart. Mouse was in the other cart. Manny had a foot on each of them, trying to keep his balance. J-man kept trying to switch from the back of one cart to the other. M&M talked to me, telling me stories and pointing out the abnormal purple tennis shoes of the man nearby. We got pizza {much to the relief of Cool Shades} and ate that in the car.
We went home and tried to get some of the little ones to take naps. The older ones played on computer or did x-box. I watched for a bit as X-box played a baseball game where he purposefully threw the ball at the batter's face. That was funny. Then Sewing Machine and I called out different body parts for him to hit. "Knee!" "Stomach!" Then his pitcher got kicked out of the game *scowl* but it was still fun.
I cleaned the cabinets {they were really grimey, grody, and dirty} because they were having some people stay at their house later on. Somewhere around this time, poor Mouse rounded a kitchen corner, stolen cheeto in hand, and stepped in the water bowl, knocking it over and falling on her face. Then when my mom came to pick me up, I watched with amusement as poor little Cool Shades tried to put on Mouse's shoes. She had them on the wrong feet. So then she took them off, switched them on the ground, and then put them on again ~ still on the wrong feet! "Cool Shades," I said as she picked up her left shoe and moved it over her right foot, "Wrong foot." She looked at me, blinked, put the shoe down, picked up the right shoe, and moved it over her LEFT foot! I laughed. She eventually got some help and happily trudged around the house.
And...then we left. We met up with Chair and Bear at night at a Bible Study and we watched little Bear. That was fun. We had some laughs. *Thinking* Well...Chair's never on, Will is *someone comes and muffles the next sentence; then leaves*, Marissa is having tons of fun at camp {hopefully} and who knows how long it will be before the Moonarrows get back to blogging...*narrowed eyes* So I don't really know who I'm blogging to.
... Ciao and have a good day! *To the wall* Thanks for listening.

School's OUT!
School's out!! I feel like running and jumpng and singing and laughing and and and and weee! *Singing High School Musical* Juuuuuust kidding! High school musical is one of those movies that after you've seen it once {and believe me, I've seen it a BILLION times}, you get tired of it. So we got out of school last wednesday. "Marial" and I had a good time. We went ice skating. I fell alot. That was sooo fun! I like going fast and then attempting to do something cool...so you fall....and then you laugh about it. That's fun. Still recovering from blisters and bruises.
We also watched 4 episodes of Dr. Who....and she fell asleep first....and I was hallucinating and imigining things at night...creepy....but I like Dr. Who. The new ones. Never seen the old ones. I'll have to see them some time. Hm...what else did we do? We played a bit of volleyball. That was fun.
Btw, we graduated from middle school! *jumping into the air* Yeaaaa! The graduation was kind of cool, in a way, but it had a sad aftertaste, like a lemon drop gone bad. After the ceremony was over, we all said good bye. Some people are going to different high schools, which made everyone kind of sad. We're all really close, like one big family. But more than that. I was so happy school was over, but yet, in a way, knowing I wouldn't see most of my friends for like 3 months and knowing I might not see the ones that are going to other schools....it made me feel empty...yet happy...I don't know how to describe it. Just....satisfied? I'm glad this year is over. I've learned a lot and I {hopefully} have matured a bit. I wish I had hugged more people. :(
After graduation, Marial, D, Des, their parents, my dad, and our coaches all met up and had lunch at Olive Garden. That was fun. We had some laughs and made plans to get together some over the summer. I think I'm officially a fish {freshman} now. There you have it. Bottom of the food chain. I think that's all I have to say for now.
Have fun wherever y'all are!

Today
Ok, so guess what. My friend is coming over for like 3 days of the week!!!! Yeaaaaa!!!!
Today started out with me eating a waffle, kolache, and a strawberry smoothie from the senior coffee house thing. Yum!
Then we went bowling. That was awesome. I stink so bad. I bowled with "Seigi", "D", and...um...the person who is coming over...who doesn't have a nickname yet...Well, she has ones, but she won't let me USE any. Fine. Ok. In bowling they messed up her name and it was "Marial". So...yeah.
D won both two games. We got distracted when the lights got all purple and we wrote on ourselves with highlighter. Mr. H, our science teachers, was drawing pictures on us that glowed in the dark. Anyway...I stink so badly. I made like a 53. Yeah. Terrible. Gutters...oy... Then we went to Fudruckers. I got my food first and was done pretty quickly. Then I ate everything that other people didn't want. Onion rings and a burger. Mmmm! Yum! Then we went to Mrs. C's church's youth group's room in the church. It was pretty cool. We played ping-pong and pool. I am really bad at ping pong and didn't play pool. We were chilling and stuff. It was pretty fun.
Ooh! And this morning! We played a prank on Mrs. C! Mr. H, our IPC teacher in the other room, called her into his room to show her something, our que to turn on our cells. We were so loud; I'm surprised she didn't hear us. But anyway...she came back and then we waited. About five minutes later one phone went off. Mr. H and the ninth graders were calling it. It was Seigi's, and she got really "sad" and was about to cry. Then in about three minutes, the whole room went off in ringtones! Mrs. C was like, "...Did y'all plan this?" And we started laughing. I was kind of disappointed my phone didn't go off; I had a new ringtone and everything, but...oh well.
Ok...so...hopefully I'll have some interesting post up soon about doing something fun with Marial. Ciao. ~ Bonnie
