Fun with Grandma!

We're still a little behind with posting.  This was written March 1st.


OK...blog. Well, I have SO much to tell you about this time! Let's start at the beginning. On Tuesday of last week, my Grandma came. I had SO much fun with her! 
On Wednesday, we all went to this place which was like a journey through the Bible. 
They had a lot of mannequin-like things. Next to one, there were buttons. They had the words of questions on them. I assumed that if you press one, the answer would come out of a speaker or something. I had something different coming. I pressed a button, and the mannequin's head turned to me and started talking. It was all I could do not to scream. I did jump back though. It started moving its hand, and I was scarred silly. I walked on. As you can see in this picture, baby is quite content watching this mannequin talk, and talk, over and over, on a replay every time she walks to a certain spot. As you can also see, I am not enjoying it.
We walked on to other exhibits, and it truly was a journey through the Bible. The “mascot” was a lion from St. Jerome's cave, Leo the lion, and there was a moving one on a rock. Here is a picture of me next to it. 
Baby kept waving to it, and saying things like “hi lion,” and “is he talking?” It was very cute. Well, when we got to the gift store, baby found an area devoted to Leo the lion. There were stuffed animals, little lion claws, and trinkets. 

I looked at a big lion, and I said “40 bucks, for this?! Wow.” later, baby went up to a lion, and said “40 bucks? For this?! Wow!” it was SO-O-O-O-O-O-O ADORABLE! My grandma got her a tiny lion toy, which of course, she named Leo.

On Friday, my friend E came over to my house. It was supposed to be a play date, but we managed to get it a sleep over! We played webkinz, did makeovers, and watched My Little Pony. Yeah that's right. It is actually a good show now. On Saturday, we played some more, ate yummy pancakes, and played Mario cart on the Wii, which E is now addicted to. Lol.

On Sunday, Grandma, Mom, and I went up to Mimi's college. We had lunch with her, hung out with her, and saw a play that she did the lighting for. It was a Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night, and was a little hard to understand, but the costumes were good, and the actors were good, and it was for the most part a great play, and I also enjoyed seeing Mimi again. Before the show, she took me backstage, and into the sound booth where she worked during the show. It was SO cool! 


On Tuesday, Grandma left. I started working on a costume/outfit. It is zebra print, and is supposed to look like Zecora-a super epic zebra character. Well, here is the outcome of it. 

I wore it to Co-op on Wednesday. At co-op, we played “riddles” which is like hangman, but with out the man to hang. What fun is a game if you don't kill a drawing of a man?? you tell me. Lol. Well, once that was over, the class was over, so we all left for home.

Math has been the only thing that stood out to me this week. And not in a good way. It has been twice as hard as it normally is. Blech. Some of the problems are like 38/259 of 9563! what!? Oh well.

In history/geography, we are studying Lewis and Clark. We are reading a book on them called the Captain’s Dog. It is really interesting! I like it, especially because it's written from the point of view of Captain Lewis' dog! I made an Indian dance rattle, which baby liked very much! As you can plainly see right here:
