After the Rain Date

After it rains go on a date and be little kids again.....meaning...JUMPING,DANCING, SINGING IN MUD PUDDLES!!!!!!!

this is so much fun to do!!! just don't wear nice clothing...because that would stink so bad. then after you finish jumping in puddles you can go get dinner or hot cocoa...or you could do the meal then the puddles...you know just whatever floats your boat.

Will you go to the dance with me??

Well as we all know Winter Formal is coming up! Need help thinking of cheap inexpensive but creative ways to ask or answer your date? Check these out!

• Get a toilet plunger (unused of course) and fill it with almond joys, then have a note attached to it that says "I would OVERFLOW with JOY if you would go to the dance with me!"
• Make a nose out of clay and say "nobody 'nose' how bad I want you to 'pick' me for the dance". and then fill the nostrils with peanut butter or some other gross sticky substance and put your answer in one of the nostrils
• If you have a cooperative teacher, ask them to do a class activity. Find out about your potential date and make a list of of questions. The teacher should have all the students stand up at the beginning of the game The questions should narrow out the askee: e.i. Sit down if you are a boy; remain standing if you were born in the summer; sit down if you have a dog; etc. When she's the only one standing, have the teacher give her your message.
• Go to the store and buy a puzzle (not too big) and put it together and on the back you write the big question and take the puzzle apart then put it back in the box and take it to them to put together.
• you tie banana's to a tree and attach a note saying i'd go banana's if you would go to the dance with me.
• Take a helium filled balloon (possibly his/her fav. color) take a ton of dental floss.and note cards make the string for the balloon EXTRA long (to make it fun) every other foot of string tie a note card saying one word at a time and tie the end of the string to a bear, his/her door knob, his/her car or pretty much anything and then ding dong ditch him/her and when he/she sees it he/she will have to pull the string down to get the balloon and every now and then he/she will slowly get the cards.
• Get a bunch of balloons, and then type up what you want to ask on paper. Cut each word individually and place it in a balloon then blow them up and while your date is gone go to their house and put them in their room and leave. Then the person who is getting asked has to put the sentence back together.
•  Fill a bucket full of mud and put the question somewhere inside make them find it.
• Give the askee an untampered-with bag of flour with a note that says "Look in the flour." The next day, after he/she has searched the bag of flour with no luck, give him/her a rose (or other kind of flower) with a rolled up note in the middle: "Oops! Wrong flower! Will you go out with me anyway?"
• trash his front porch with a sign in the middle saying Winter formal? with (your name)
• get a pizza and write on the front of the box "i know this is cheesey but winter formal" and on the inside write with your name
• Get a whole bunch of blue balloons and fill their room with them, then leave a huge poster that says, "will you go to the ________ with me? If you will, then pop a blue balloon and send it to me. If you won't, then pop a yellow balloon and send it to me." Make sure you don't leave any yellow ones for them.
• Cover his/her room with circles of construction paper and hershey kisses. Leave a note that says, "Now that I've SPOTTED you and KISSED the ground you walk on, will you go to the _______ with me?"
• Kidnap a personal item (like a teddy bear or shoes) and leave a ransom note made from cut up newspapers & magazines saying: "Your [whatever] has been kidnapped. If you ever wish to see it again, go to [dance/date] with me or leave $2,500,000,000.00 in small bills [in a designated area]."
• If it is snowy out, write you message in the snow, and sign your name to it. Call and have them look outside.Or if they have a big yard and its not snowing write the message in their grass with a lawn mower.

Creative ways to answer:

• Unwrap one tootsie roll and put your answer in it. Wrap it back up, and give the person a big bagof tootsie rolls in their pillowcase or thrown around in their room.
• Get a small cake pan and fill it with water write your answer on a piece of paper and laminate it, and when the water is partly frozen, put the answer in the middle. When it is frozen, frost it so it looks like a cake, they will try to eat it but they will get a suprise and will have to wait for it to melt
• Shred 3 garbage bags full of newspaper (or maybe less). Take out one shredded piece of newspaper and write your answer on it then go to their house and cover their bedroom with all the newspaper.
• Answer them by putting cute out paper hearts all over their house and tell them that their house had a heart attack. One of the hearts might have an answer on the back and the person would have to find it!

Funny Christmas Story!

Grandpa decided that shopping for Christmas presents had become too difficult. All his grandchildren had everything they needed, so he decided to send them each a cheque (check).
On each card he wrote:
'Happy Christmas Grandpa'
P.S. 'Buy your own present!'
Conclusion:Now, while Grandpa enjoyed the family festivities, he thought that his grandchildren were just slightly distant. It preyed on his mind into the New Year. Then one day he was sorting out his study and under a pile of magazines, he found a little pile of cheques (checks) for his grandchildren. He had completely forgotten to put them in with the Christmas cards.

Grandparents are so Great!!!

Dinner at the Park (or in Your Backyard)

This is a fun date and not very expensive. Have dinner at the park or in the backyard. Not just any dinner though... a fancy dinner, just for a change of scenery. You can ask your parents to help with the preparing of the food. When we did this for Sadie Hawkins/Morp our moms did the cooking, and decorating...
and cleaning up.
It doesn't have to be expensive.

• Dinner: have spaghetti and apple cider.





• Just make sure you start eating before it gets dark or make sure to have lighting of some kind.





• If its mosquito season....wear bug spray
  
  



• Decorate... have a theme and go with it. Setting the tone makes a big difference. Include tablecloths, candles, flowers, or a fun centerpiece.





• You could even have your younger siblings dress up as waiters and serve dinner.
  

Be unique and have fun!

this is just some cute stuff to learn from Disney....My favorite!!!! i love Disney movies to death!!

Laugh for no Reason

Reasons why it is important to laugh.

It is easier to smile than frown because it only takes 13 muscles to smile and it takes 47 muscles to frown…so you could actually have fewer wrinkles by smiling.

Fifteen minutes of laughter equals the benefit of 2 hours of sleep…so when you are tired, laugh, and you will be refreshed.

One good belly laugh can burn off 2 calories.

Laughing for 15 seconds adds 2 days to your life span…so laughing for 45 minutes will add one year to your life!

Make it a great day and make someone laugh!

Just dog-on FUNNY!!

Parental Advice:

Dear Parents:

Read ALL labels on the food you are purchasing

How many times do you get your parent telling you that while she was standing in the check out line she saw in the snacks a new type of yummy looking brownies with this cute little dog logo on it. Buys them, eats them, wonders why they are kinda bitter, but was so desperate for chocolate, eats them ALL.  The power of suggestion(that they are chocolate brownies) fulfills that chocolate craving.

Then only a few days later while waiting in the check out line again notices those nasty brownies are actually DOG BROWNIES!! Yes DOG BROWNIES!! EWWW my mom ate DOG BROWNIES. HAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA. This is too funny. She is praying nobody saw her rip into those brownies like a chocolate crazed  lunatic.

Moms advice : "Read all the package and don't eat dog brownies cause they are yucky and you might feel kinda like a dummy"

Advice to Walmart:    Don't place doggie treats in  the checkout aisle, on the same snack shelf as the candy and other snacks.

Scarves!

There everywhere! And soooooo cute here are some cute and fun ways to ware them!

Chivalry Isn't Dead...yet (its a dieing breed)

In the library (where I have fourth hour) we had to take a gigantic cabinet from the upstairs to the library...which is downstairs almost on the other side of the building. the cabinet was on a dolly and it was really hard to maneuver into and out of the elevator. then this guy comes over and asks if we need help. all three of us were like thinking 'do you see the billion pound cabinet we're moving?' of course  we did need help. he helped us to get the heavy and rather ugly looking cabinet into the library class room. I was so glad that guys still want to help...i mean they make us do so much stuff ourselves....opening our own doors...pushing in our own chairs....don't they know we have to give childbirth?!?!? (haha)but really its nice to know that guys still want to help those of us "damsels in distress".

 In our book this guys actions was no short Lord Farquad version of prince charming

He has The Prince Charming qualities stamp of approval !!!

Best Book Ever!!! (that I've read so far anyway)

This book is called PARANORMALCY by Kiersten White and it is so beawesome!!!(beyond awesome for those of you who haven't seen BOLT.) Any way it is super clean....no swear words-which is really surprising but mostly because the girl-Evie- says 'bleep' instead of swear words but still. there is not much kissing and it is a very clean book.

do you want a summary about it....of course not, my word is good enough. :) ho ye of little faith...I'll tell you about the book.

Evie is not your average teenager. She has the ability to see through the glamors (disguises) of supernatural creatures. Werewolves, vampires, and faeries may be able to fool the rest of the world, but Evie sees them for who they are. She works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, an organization that keeps track of these supernaturals and protects the human population from them.

But then Evie meets Lend, a shapeshifter and her tidy little world begins to unravel.
