Life has been so crazy!!!
The other day we went to Six Flags again. We had a lot of fun. We brought our aunt, Lynette, and that was tons of fun. We didn't go on a whole lot of rides because it was so crowded, but we hit a lot of shows and let the little kids ride in the kiddie area. The day was going great, until I tricked Lynette onto a spinning ride (called the "Tasmanian Devil...") it is a horrible ride! It spins so much that it litterally makes people ill. My dad had warned Lynette to stay away from the ride and described it in detail. Lynette vowed she wouldn't get suckered into it and stressed that she just "can't handle spinning rides." (Hahahaha....) my wicked mind started turning. Later in the afternoon, Shelbie, Shaylah, Lynette and I went to go ride a few big kid rides. We hit a roller coaster and then (dum dum dum dummmm...dum dum dum dummmm...du du du du de do...) I suggested...The Tasmanian Devil.... We found the ride and stood in line. Lynette watched the ride and was complaining that us girls tricked her into the ride (and I admit, I pretty much downright lied about the intensity of it.) but I knew that if she honestly didn't or couldn't ride it, she wouldn't. We got on the ride and it started. And it went and went and went and went. I looked over at Lynette who looked mad. :( I was starting to get frightened. The ride ended and she looked ticked. I slunk off the ride without looking at her and bolted out. The girls came up a few minutes later and said, "Oh, you did it now...Lynette is maaaaaddddd...." She came storming past us a few moments later and headed straight to the bathroom. ...yes, I tricked her into a ride that made her sick. She was in the bathroom for several minutes. Us girls paced guiltily outside while the girls made me feel as bad as bad can be. They finally left to go back to my family, and I waited for Lynette. She came out a few minutes later, still looking horrible. We went back to my family and she sat for a while. I felt awful, but horribly enough--I couldn't stop smirking!! My mom was sitting next to her trying to make her feel better and kept shooting me the evil eye. Everytime she did, I nearly lost it! After about 40 minutes, her color returned and she started feeling better. Towards the end of the evening she forgave me--whew! (But, I will admit, I am still cackling over it to this day!)
We got the key to our house the other day!! WooHoo! We've been official homeowners for about 6 days. We've done so much work on it too! We got the livingroom painted and most of the carpet ripped out. (Hayden is laying wood on Wednesday...it will look so pretty.) Last night Jeff and a friend worked on the floor for a few hours. Then, dear Anne texted and said that Hayden and Chris wanted to come over and prep our floors for hardwood. (Aren't they so sweet?) I felt so blessed. I headed over a little while later, and while all the guys worked, Anne, Mandy and I acted weird and did weird unmentionable things. After the guys were done working, we all sat around on our dirty wood floor and hung out eating candy sticks...those sticks have really come in handy while working on the house. :) It was a pathetic sight, but lots of fun! On Sunday evening, Jeff, Shelbie, Shaylah and I were working on the house. We decided to buy a few small pizzas and eat at the house while we work. Well...this is the 1st time our stove has been used in 3 years...so naturally, it wasn't working "properly." Our first two pizzas burnt. But our 2nd pizzas turned out really yummy. We had set up a card table in our game room with a table cloth over it. Shaylah was all excited to set the table and us eat in game room together. So while the rest of us cleaned, Shaylah cooked and set our table. Then she called us back to eat. I walked through the door and laughed. It was the most pathetic sight ever! It looked like we were on death row. We all sat in a row at the table with two pieces of burnt pizza and two of good pizza on our cute plastic plates. We were all starving, so none of us were talking, we were just huntched over our plates and chewing on our cardboard pizza. Afterwards we all laughed at the patheticness of it!

There was this ugly beam in the middle of the kitchen and livingroom. We poked a nail through it (to see if it was supporting someting) and realized it was just foam! We immediately started demolishing it...
Here are some pictures!
OMG THATS WHAT I WANT MY KITCHEN FLOOR TO LOOK LIKE
