Our next stop was at Wal-Mart where she got a Mickey Mouse shirt that she immediately changed into once we got into the car. We went to Target and Barnes and Noble since the mall wasn't open yet. She got some bookmarks at the book store, and a new SIMS game for the computer at Target. (The SIMS game is "seasons", and after we got home she was playing it and she let her girl wander around too long out in the snow and she fell down and almost froze to death. We had to really give her a hard time about almost killing her character.) Once we got to the mall she bought (among other things) a whole new outfit..pants, sweater, scarf and bracelets.
Then it was off to Taco Bell for lunch, then we came home. Dave fixed one of her favorite meals...steak.
I can't believe my baby is twelve already. She is growing up way too fast. Some fun things to know about her right now are..... 1. She is taking track-we have an agreement that during track we will not drink pop. I'm not sure whether she is liking track yet or not. Her legs are sore, it has been really cold, and no pop!
2. She is playing spring volleyball with the sixth grade girls. This is her first time getting to play other teams and they had their first tournament on Sat. They came in second out of 16 teams and they played really well. She loves volleyball.
3. Her phone is her favorite thing ever. She just got a new phone because her other one got broken. It is hot pink and she absolutely loves it. She hugged her phone one day and told me that "this phone is my life."
4. She spends lots of time on the computer. Whether it is "My Space" or SIMS or looking up videos on utube she likes sitting in front of the computer.
5. She is my only child that occasionally cleans the kitchen without being asked. She also went out a few weeks ago and helped her dad all day while he was cleaning the yard. She even helped pick up all the dog poop. He didn't ask for her help, she just wanted to make his job easier.
6. She makes us laugh. She has always been funny, and she makes me smile pretty much every single day with something she says or does.
7. She loves her IPOD, Taco Bell Mexi-melts, Hot Cheetos, movies, Grey's Anatomy, Friday Night Lights, steak, taco dip, and lounge pants (or jam-jams as she calls them now), and her camera.
8. She still hasn't outgrown some of her clumsiness. Just today she fell out of Brittney's car and got a scrape on her elbow and a big knot on her knee. Even at twelve she still has bruises and scrapes all the time.
That's a look at my girl...we sure love her a bunch.
