The Importance of Being Lauren

Wow. Just wow. I realize that I haven't written on my Blog in forever! So now I'm going to do one of the lamest Blog things ever... A Recap post! Yay!!! So here are five fun, amazing, and somewhat horrible (not necessarily in that order) things I've done since school ended last month: 1) Well last Monday I hung out with my grandma. To be more specific my GREAT-GRANDMA!!!!! How exciting is that?!!!! She took Monkey, Caterpillar, and I to the underground mall downtown! It was amazing! Since it was Caterpillar's birthday I bought and cup of delicious pretzel bites with sugar on it. They were amazing!! Very expensive but yummy nonetheless. So yeah it was awesome hanging out with her! Oh and we got to ride the metro backwards! Awesomeness! *My lovely sisters minus the youngest!! I love those guys! :) 2) Two Monday's ago I left for the 4th year High Adventure trip for Girls Camp! We canoed for five hours, we camped in real tents, and then we got to go tubing! First of al...

Last Friday I went to volunteer at the elementary schools Valentine's Party. I had a good time, and the kids were really funny..... 1st Grade Class Party: The first grade classes were doing Valentine Card Scrapbooks for their project.

I replied smiling and still laughing on the inside. I finished helping the boy, and then we moved on to the game. You wouldn't believe how many f...

There is a ten year old boy at Kung-Fu that I call "Little Kevin". Little Kevin fascinates me because he reminds me of me (and a bit like an old lady) for some of these reasons: He gets hurt all the time, he is dorky, he never misses an opportunity to complain, and he talks a whole lot. So now that you know a little bit about him I will proceed to tell you what happened on Monday...... I was standing in line and getting ready to do a jump kick when Little Kevin came to my side and whispered in my ear,"That boy over there (a four year old) asked me if I was going to KISS you." " What ?!! Wait... What ?!!" I exclaimed in surprise. I didn't know exactly what to do or say to him so I pushed him away and said,"Kevin pay attention!!! And stop talking!!!" He did what I told him to do, but then he came and talked to me after class......
