My Obbsession Over Stuffed Animals

low quality picture of a strawberry lol :P

okay so I don't know if this is weird (comment below if it is) but I have a obsession over stuffed animals. lol I have them all together on my bed, they're named, and we're all just a little happy family. and if you're laughing at me right now, IT'S OKAY. Honestly, I am too.

So seriously I have 18 stuffed animals (Ellie (the elephant), Brownie and Brownie Jr. (both bears) Wolfie (a wolf duh), Piggy (a pig), Ellis (another elephant), Steph (a bear), Peyton Pako (a panda), Spaghetti (a monkey), Rudo (a dog), Jesus Loves Me Bear (a dog. he has a really interesting story behind him), Kevin (he's a minion), Jesus Love Purple (a weird bear I guessss?), Tiki (I don't even know what animal she is), Fatball (he's a hamster), Lamby (a lamb), Timber (a dog), Ralph (a mouse), and finally (my new edition) Pigella Smith.

Literally I'm laughing right now. Well not literally but in my mind I'm dying in laughter.

Okay so Jesus Loves Me Bear (even though he's a dog) has been abused by our dog Rudo. Lol it sounds horrible but sometimes Rudo (our REAL dog, NOT stuffed animal) likes to chew on him. And he chewed both of his ears off. So really Jesus Love Me Bear is Sarah's, but he has to go on my top bunk now so he won't get abused by Rudo anymore. Oh and also, his name is Jesus Loves Me Bear because his paws say Jesus Loves Me on it.

And my new edition like *a bajillion heart faces* I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. My friends and I did a swap where I gave them some of my clothes that they liked and they did so to me too. They also added that little cute pig in the gift to me too :D and I love him so much.

I love ALL my animals a lot, but my favorite animal has to be Ellie the Elephant. I've had her for the longest time. And you press one of his paws and you can say something and then press his other paw and she'll say WHAT YOU SAID *mind blown*. Everyone of us siblings got one, but mine is the one that's microphone has last the longest. Yeah I take care of my stuffed animals.

Okay enough about stuffed animals.

ME AND SARAH MADE SMOOTHIES TODAY. Like, it was homemade. Oh my goodness it was sooooo gooooodddddd *I'm like drooling right now* so yeah. :P

I hope you enjoyed my crazy randomness and didn't die of boredom.

October Highlights and November Goals

My October Highlights

1) Well, the right in the beginning of October was my sissy's birthday. I really enjoyed giving her my present which was a shirt that said "just keep swimming," and it had Dory on it. :P Also for her birthday party we had our friends over. We first hang out Friday night and did Bernie's Fitness Club (I'm getting them in shape). Then Saturday morning we met with donuts and coffee and went to the library. Then we played football and went hiking. It was very funn!

2) This month our youth group went to a town by us and did a service for teens. Our youth led the songs and our Pastor preached. It was very fun! Which leads me to another thing our youth group has been doing this month. Every Sunday night the youth lead worship which I just got into this year. It's been super fun to learn. I sing. Also, we've been learning on harmonizing which is really fun for me!! I'm starting to get good at it and it's so fun to do!! Sarah is learning to play the piano for the band and Danny has been learning the box (pretty much a bongo which is a drum).

3) Our fall photoshoot with our friends. This was super fun to do!! Like literally we planned EVERYTHING out from where we'll meet to what outfits we were wearing. It was so fun to do that. That morning I texted them and after all this work I go, "guys pray for me, I'm feeling non photogenic today." But right when we got there I couldn't stop smiling. I guess it's what best friends do to you. ;) Anywho, it was awesome. The only thing was....it was like 80 degrees and we were all dressed in fally sweaters and boots. it was hot. btw, why isn't fally a word. Fall-y? c'mon dictionary. I wish I could show you all of our MANY photos, but I can't. I have some handstand pictures though...and that picture my best friend took of me taking a picture of the leaves. :P Oh and Sarah's beautiful crown. hehe and Ellie's converse because I was obsessing over them. I literally took like five pictures of them...;P.

4) Pizza and the Arcade with my family. Every year all of  my mom's family goes out for pizza and then goes to the arcade. Who doesn't love spending time with your cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles?! Then....we played laser tag!! I've never done that before. At first, I was scared. literally. But then...I just started hitting people. That was totally fun. Our team won!! Oh and my name in the game was Jack something. All I remember is Jack. figures. Anybody been just dying to see season 4 of When Calls the Heart because you see so many posts about it on Instagram? Am I the only one? Seriously dudes...follow Erin Krakow on Instragram!!

5) Getting to play outside. This month when Sarah had to do her mid-term me, mom, and Danny went to the park. We had a obstacle course. First he won, then I won. Then she had to go there again, and went to the park again, and I won both games!! Next step is training for American Ninja Warrior. hehe no. Also after our history class on Thursday night we always go outside and play football. It's super fun. My abs really got stronger after that too. :P And also getting to do my gymnastics outside on my mat is always the best. It's so awesome to have so much space.

Which leads me too...........

6) Gymnastics. This is always my highlight, but this month was really awesome!! This month I did a backhandspring by myself like a bajillion times!! I landed a front flip also!! I also did an ariel (aka cartwheel with no hands). AND...I did a roundoff backhandspring ALL BY MYSELF this week!! I was so happy!! Now with some of these skills equipment helped me accomplish the skill, but I'm so happy about what I did. A lot of skills you can probably do by yourself, but the nervousness of your doing it by yourself messes you up. Don't be afraid though. So that was awesome!! I'm also getting to know my teammates and coaches well. So that's also good. :)

7) The zoo! This month we went to the zoo! We got to see the elephants (my favorite animal). At first we were walking and there were no elephants out, but then we walked more and there they were!! I was so happy!! We also went to Chickfila because that's the only time we can go there. That was the best... Who loves that place? Hey and guess what?! Our town just got a Panda Express. I was so happy!!

Of course I could say about another billion highlights, but I'll save you!!

My November Goals:

Wear boots

Get good grades

 Do a backhandspring in my backyard

Get better at harmonizing

Have a sleepover with my friends

Eat a lot for thanksgiving

My Extremely Exciting and Excellent Week

 

OH BOY WHAT A WEEK

 

Aww this week was a blast. But first before I tell you, I want to say sorry for not posting in three weeks. I missed you, but I was busy and needed a little break. I got a lot of things bursting out of my mind though. So I'll be back. woooohooooo! hehe sorry!

 

Starting off this busy week was on Sunday when after church me and my sister went to a birthday party for our best friend. We all ate at Fazoli's and then headed to the mall for a scavenger hunt. It was a blast, but as much as you might think I'm crazy, I'm shy when it comes to talking to new people. So the ones like "go up to a stranger and say hey I've been looking for you for like forever" or "go up to a stranger and ask for their signature" or "ask someone to pop a balloon for them." I asked if someone could break my ten dollar bill though. Thanks awesome shoe store worker. No one else would do it for me except that guy at the shoe store. We also had to ask for a fry at a restaurant. That was fun! It was awesome though!

 

On Monday I just did school. boring. who cares. THE NEXT DAY. On Tuesday we were going to St. Louis for our moms appointment. Whenever we go there we do fun stuff so I was excited. First, we read about the World War II. Thanks dad for explaining the confusing stuff to me! After that we did more school and then went to the zoo. That was very fun to see new and strange looking animals. Then, we picked up a little shirt for Sarah because she couldn't come. And I got one too. hehe :P. After that always Chick-Fil-A. Mmmm I loved that sandwich.

 

Then we get good. On Wednesday we plan to go to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game with our friends. And their playing the Chicago Cubs (their rivals.) And....we're going with a Cubs fan. If you don't know Cubs and Cardinals are rivals and the fans get feisty with each other. On the car ride up we play a lot of mafia. If you don't know how to play that. learn. it's a blast. Basically you all get cards and whoever has the 12 card is the mafia.  you make a story everybody goes to bed in the story and then whoever is the mafia squeezes someone hand and their dead. And everybody else has to figure out who is the mafia. The game was awesome other than being rained out for 2 hours. We enjoyed out time eating ice cream, splashing water on each other, and getting ourselves soaked. After that we had Panda Express and headed home. And more mafia. Now I was always the mafia and no one would guess me. After a while people started understanding I was mafia a lot so they got me more. I made a story though here we go, "One day we all went in a jeep and we got in a car accident and fell asleep. A little bit later someone woke up and looked on the ground and saw a brain. When he saw it he said, "oh there it is. I was looking for that." And he died. After that another person woke up and saw the brain and said, "Oh hey I might need that soon." Yeah it was a hit. Everybody was you like, "you got him good" or "hey I'm going to use that sometime."

 

Thennnnn....on Friday we went to our Grandma and Grandpa's while our parents went on vacation for their anniversary. We scootered outside a lot, but after a while going up and down a hill over and over again gets boring after five minutes. So, we did chalk. And I made an American flag, rainbow, and a giant sun, and a moon. We also played tennis until we failed a lot and decided to stop. After that we got pizza. And then, my favorite part. We're just playing outside. I'm doing roundoffs and I hear something. IT'S AN ICE CREAM TRURCK. I tell my grandparents and we get excited. When everybody heard it around the neighborhood every kid comes out standing in their backyard waiting for the guy to come and getting nervous about if he'll stop at your street. You get excited when you hear the music coming a little closer to you. And you buy a popsicle that had captain America so that's why the decision wasn't so hard. And you eat it while singing "It's A Small World." And the next day you scratch it off your bucket list. Awww!

 

The next day we go to a castle park. Me and my brother play spy. A game where you have to go somewhere without anybody seeing you. It's hard though because there's a lot of people. After that we do yard working for the rest of the day. And then at the end of the night we ate pizza and enjoyed our good looking work outside. This week God has shown me how blessed I am to have great grandparents and great parents. And a nice home and backyard. Thank you Jesus! I deserve none of it. I can't go a hour without sinning against you, but you love me anyway. And you forgive me. And give me lots of stuff that some people don't have. That's how good my God is!

 

 

Thanks for reading! Sorry for the quickness at the end. I'm ready to go to bed and I got some people saying, "We gotta go to bed soon" behind me. hehe! Thanks everyone!

 

Was your week as busy as mine?

What did God show you this week?

Have you ever ate from an ice cream truck?
