Daniel's pond adventure

The other day (actually it was a while ago) Daniel decided to get one of the dogs toys from our very cold and dirty pond. So for Melia, and DeAtra as the audience and I as the photographer he put his arm into the dirty cold water and attempted to pull out the toy.

"A SUCCESS!!!!!"

but there was a little alga on the toy so it slipped back in!

"oops! I spoke to soon" :P

So he had to put his arm into the water yet again! :P

And then he started talking to himself about how good he was at doing this kind of stuff.

But then just as he started standing up he dropped it again.

I was really lucky and got a picture of him just dropping.

Cool, eh? :D

He then just stared into the water and said, "how did it do that, AGAIN?"

While us girls were laughing our heads off! :P

He once again started putting his arm into the water to get it.

But it had gone deeper the the first two times.

And since us girls were laughing so hard he started laughing and almost slipped into the water.

He does this face all of the time! :D hahaha

And believe it or not he dropped it just as he was getting his arm out.

hahahahahahaha

He then started joking about diving in there to fetch it!

Then he looked at me and said, "Chavonne! I'll be RIGHT back! I PROMISE!!!!!"

So he ran into the house!

While the toy was still in our cold dirty alga pond!

YUCK!

So while waiting I went on our swings and took a few pics. of the chain that holds one of the swings.

Then not 1 minute later he came back out in his bathing suit.

Yup! That's right! You guessed it. He was going in the pond!!!!!!!

YIPEE!!!

Not only was the water cold but so was the weather. I mean it wasn't like bone chilling but there was wind and it wasn't exactly warm out.

Before going in I convinced him to try get it one last time without going into the pond.

He finally gave in and tried one last time.

But he couldn't reach it this time.

So I finally gave in and let him go into the pond. :P

When he stepped into the pond, the water was barely touching his shorts though!!

"hmm!" I thought. "I thought our pond was deeper then that!"

"its really cold!" he kept saying

See? Barely touching his shorts!

But then he took a step forward and "WHOOSH!!" He almost DOVE in!

I KNEW IT!

Our pond was deeper. I had just forgotten that all around the pond there was a little step. And Daniel had being on the step. So that was why the water was barely touching his shorts! :P

He was SO surprised!

"its colder here, Chavonne!!!" he said! :P hahaha

I then told him that he'd better get the toy before it got to cold.

So he started looking for it.

he finally found it but then he was debating wether to put his arm into the cold alga water to retrieve the toy! :P

he finally decided that since he had gone to all of this work to get the toy he couldn't stop now. So he bent down awkwardly and got it! :P

I can't remember what he was doing here

silly boy!

BR!!!

Isn't he cute?

SUCCESS!!!!!!!

Super-man!!

after throwing the toy he quickly decided that it would be a smart idea to get out as well!

he was walking very funny because his swimsuit was so cold and wet!! :P

he was shaking with cold. :P

What an adventure, eh?

What funny picture was your favourite?

update......

Where do I begin? hmm......So the last time I posted was on the 26th. So what's happened since the 26th? Let me see. On the 26th my best friend and some of my older brother's friends came over to watch a hockey game. It was the game where Vancouver vs. Chicago. Vancouver won 2-1 in overtime. :) Anyways.....Wednesday and Thursday I did school, and 'daily life' stuff. Then Friday morning I got picked up by some friends that took me to a Homeschool Convention that we were both volunteering at. After I went to their house for supper and my mom came around 8:00 but she had a 'coffee' and we didn't leave until around 11:30. :P

You know sometimes us kids are always complaining whenever our parents start talking. But in some cases it works in our favor! =P Like this one time a long time ago, our really close friends came over for supper one night and the parents said it was time to leave so the kids and parents got all ready to leave when my mom said something (it was to long ago to remember what it was) and then the parents started talking again. And they kept talking for about 5 minutes when the kids decided to take off they're stuff and go play again. They didn't leave until 2 hours later. :P hahaha. Anyways.....So we didn't leave 11:30 and since I was EXHAUSTED I went to bed right away. On Saturday I woke up at 8:00 and my friends picked me up 45 minutes later.

I helped out at the convention again and then after I went for supper again at the friends place with my family. Since we were ALL tired we Shonwises came home around 9:30. We got the kids to bed then soon after went to bed ourselves.

Sunday morning I got up again early (i need to stop getting up early or people will think me as early person which i am not :P..) i then washed my hair and got ready for church. When we got to church I was talking to one of my friends when she asked me if i'd being crying. And when I said no I hadn't she said that my cheeks were really red. But just then one of my older sisters friends came up and asked me if I could help her with the little kids Sunday school. So after a quick talk with her I remembered what my friend had said but I didn't bother to check since she cane sometimes over exaggerate. (:P)

Later though I was talking to my older sister when she told me that my cheeks were like really red!! So I went to the bathroom and saw that it was true. My cheeks were indeed RED!!!!!!!!!

So yeah. That wasn't a good Sunday. I took some pills that day and read a book and watched some tv.

So now we are up to today. So today my cheeks are a LOT better. Yes they still itch a little and were still a tad red, and my eyes ith a tad, but compared to yesterday it is WAY BETTER!!!!! So what did I do today......I did school, lunch, babysat, cleaned the house since mom was out, read, cleaned up the kitchen since the kids had being doing science experiments, and then did supper. After supper mom and I watched some House Hunters then the news. And then I wandered downstairs and here I be!! =D

So I think that's all for now.

I don't think anything 'big' is happening this week.

Hope you guy's all have a good week! :)

A day with Natasha

Now I know that the Title says, "A day with Natasha" but I just wanted to start off with these three funny pics. of Melia wearing a lampshade. She ran into the kitchen with it on and she's like, "Vonnie. Don't I look like a Chinese person?" So I just had to snap a picture. :D

I love my 'lil sister!! <3

So now we talk about my Saturday with Natasha.

She came over a couple weeks ago and we decided to go down to Petro Can and get some 'stuff'. Then we went to the park. And she swinged while I snapped. Well okay, I DID swing but I also took pics. :P

Natasha swinging and let me see. She's holding her and my slushy and some candy. But you cant see it 'cause she's hiding it! :P

Then I thought that it would be cool to snap some of her feet. :P

Oh, and her toes are SOO cute. They're like super tiny and...I just think they're really cute. Don't you agree?
