Another One of Those Random Posts

Some more little scenes from life in this crazy household :D

A couple of days ago, Dad saw Toblerone with his mouth puffed out as if he was eating something. Thinking that Toblerone was eating something he wasn't supposed to, Dad told him to spit it out. Toblerone just stared at him as if trying to say You do not want me to do this. But it didn't communicate very well with Dad, I guess, because he told Toblerone to spit it out again. So Toby obeyed. And sprayed out a mouthful of water into Dad's hand. And Dad had just finished getting ready to go to work.

So....last Sunday, we were discussing the sermon during lunch. Talking about money, the proper use of money, why we have money, and how money can become bad if you idolize it, etc. Everyone was adding in what they thought to the conversation and then Dare Devil, who had previously been very quiet, piped in "Oh, I know what dirty money is! It's when the money has dirt and mud on it, right?"

Oh yeah!  I can't forget about this! Dad got a GatorXUV550 for the younger ones, and they've been going nuts with it! In a good way :) 

Tiger Lily says to mention that it is plastic. . . 

But it still moves, and boy is it fun to watch. I think it's more fun to ride, but us two older girls can't cause we're just so slightly too big for it. 

I was actually quite surprised though at how well Dare Devil and Snow White could drive. So far, I haven't seen them crash into anything, and Snow White can do a pretty good 3 point turn. I'm still trying to learn that, and it's not easy for me at all. But she makes it look like she's done it a million times already. 


 Dare Devil is also a very good driver. The only problem is that when I was taking pictures of him while he was in motion, he kept looking at me and smiling so that I could take a nice picture. So yeah, then he wasn't looking where he was going and it was getting a little scary watching him weave in and out and around and about. The fact that there's a four year old driving a two year around in a Gator (mini though it be) is scary enough for me!

I've been extracting DNA from bananas, jellies, and even Ritz crackers. Okay, so the crackers didn't do anything but become really mushy and soft and yucky looking, but the banana gave a lot of DNA, and the jam was so-so. It made really nice pictures too! :)

Last Saturday, Tiger Lily and I helped out at the PCC banquet with lots of friends from our youth group at church. It was lots of fun serving to others with one another! :)

Tiger Lily, two of our best friends, and I were assigned on coat check. That meant we had to take all 643 guests' coats, hang them up, and MOST importantly. . . don't lose them!!! Then after the banquet was over, we had to give the coats back. Duh :P

Anyway, the system for keeping all the coats was confusing at first, but with some tweaking, we all managed to come up with something that would work. And guess what? It did! :)

Some people preferred to keep their coats on, or bring it in with them to the banquet hall, but I'd say we ended up taking around 550+ coats. 
Up with all. those. coats! :) 

At first, it was very stressful running around, trying not to lose both tickets and coats, but thankfully it came together and we all managed to work in a nice, somewhat orderly fashion :) Thanks also to some other friends who came to help us :D
There was a closet on the right of this picture, as well as another rack and closet
on the other side of the hall. 

I wonder what we're looking at? 

Oh, and I just had to add this picture of the chandelier. When we first got into the
hall, we were all like "whoaaa....this place is amazing!!" It was so beautiful
and breathtaking. There was this massive sparkling chandelier in the
very middle of the hall, with two smaller ones on either side. This picture is not
exactly how I wanted to show it, but I didn't have time to circle it and snap thousands of pictures of it
like I usually do. Coat check, remember? ;) 

Hard at work. . . I think. Or else we're playing Hangman ;)

Me and our two fellow coat check-ers :) Thanks to Tiger Lily for taking the photo! :) 

Ahhh yes! And the stairs!! On either side of the hall were these absolutely magnificent stairways. They were so pretty!
So once there was a break in the crowd and no one seemed to be wanting their coats, I got Tiger Lily and these two pretty fellow coat check-ers to run up the stairs and let me take a picture. :)

Tiger Lily was (actually, she is right this instant while I'm typing :P) looking for a song to do for a Studio Assignment, (that's for the vocal course that she is taking that I may or may not have forced her to take. . . ) and she thought of doing the Dragon Theme song. Where No One Goes. Have you heard it before? It's a really fun and nice song. Anyway, she was looking up the lyrics and she realized that the chorus actually goes:
We go where no one goes
We slow for no one 
Get out of our way!
Once she read that, she was like "WHAATT??? That's so rude!" Then she showed it to me and I heard it and I was wondering how did we not hear that before? It's so weird! But yeah. . . she won't be singing that for her Studio assignment! :)

Camping - Day #1

(sigh of relief) Finally, I can start working on this post! I've been wanting to do this for days :P 

So...we went camping! (although you probably knew that from the title!) 

We went for four days, three nights. And it was so much fun! It was a great time as a family, and I've got to say, a lot of memories were made! :D

Thank you Mom and Dad for bringing us! I love you! :)

                                                           - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


It took around 3-4 hours to get everything into the car. We had a LOT of stuff. It adds up, I guess, when you have 9 people to pack for. You take sleeping bags, camp chairs, pillows, toothbrushes, shampoo and conditioner (although to be honest, the only people that ended up using shampoo and conditioner and soap was Dad, Mom, and Tiger Lily) food for three and a half days, tents, Maple and her stuff, flashlights, bikes, locks, rope, towels, swimsuits (and more) and then multiply most of that stuff by 9, then yeah, you do end up with a ton of stuff. :P


Dad had some last-minute stuff to do, so we ended up playing around for a bit while
we were waiting. As usual, Tiger Lily was the clown again :P

We stopped at Harvey's on the way for a lunch break. There was such a nice field there, with nice long grass, and I couldn't resist taking a few photos. Well, Snow White took most of them, I did a couple. :D


My cute little puppy!




After we reached the campsite, we unloaded and started setting up the tents. 



And then Dad made up a fire and we ate dinner. When we finished, we were all surprised to find out that it was only 7-ish, not 9 or 10 like we had thought.

So we got our helmets on, each and every one of us, including the little boys.

They were so excited! :D

Spiderman and Ironman had gone scouting out the campground on their bikes, and they found a beach only about 2 minutes away, if we rode on our bikes. So, that's where we all headed.

The sun was just starting to set, which meant of course, beautiful scenery!


I was hoping to get the sunset, but. . . the sun went behind the clouds and it persisted in staying behind that bank of clouds until the sunset ended :P But some of the pictures turned out pretty good, I think!  





I wasn't the only one taking pictures! :) Mom was snapping photos too....when she wasn't picking up pretty stones :D Sorry, Mom, I couldn't resist! 

Toblerone was throwing rocks, trying to be like his older brothers. The only problem was that he tried to throw it so hard that he sometimes threw it backwards, thus the reason why I'm covering my eyes!


And of course we had a campfire after we returned from the beach!

Ironman, Spiderman, and Dare Devil wanted to sleep in the small tent, so we girls, Mom, Toblerone, and Dad got the big tent all to ourselves! Mom says we're spoilt to sleep in such a big tent. She says that real camping means sleeping like sardines in a tent :P 

I brought my Samsung along, so we girls had a bit of fun with it! Tiger Lily and Snow White are just so natural at silly faces; I don't know how they do it! 



Toblerone decided to drape himself on me, really, he's so cute!


And Tiger Lily decided to practice taking selfies with Snow White. Kinda :P

Ironman!

Here is.......Ironman! He is very energetic and funny too!


I was trying to teach him (along with a few other siblings)
how to make banana bread.

He was very careful putting the bread in the oven!
Brothers!
This picture was taken on our driveway. Because of the
 severe weather  last winter our driveway was covered
 in ice. So we took advantage of it and had so much fun
skating!
And here are a few photos I took of him running.
