Smurfs & Playdates
Update: Magic Words I wanna hear “CONGRATULATIONS! THE ITEM IS YOURS!” Looks like Zoe’s getting her Brainy and Papa Smurf. Who’s the winner?! Me!!!
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So I was dropping Zoe off at school Monday morning and we were saying our goodbyes which is usually….
Zoe: I’m gonna miss you.
Me: I’m going to miss you.
Zoe: Will you think of me?
Me: I will. I’ll be doing that instead of work.
Zoe: I’ll think of you.
Me: Ok I’d like that. Be good in school and listen to your teachers.
Zoe: Ok. Adios.
Me: Adios.
Zoe: Sayonara.
Me: Sayonara.
Zoe: Good bye.
Me: Bye.
And then she said…
Zoe: Are you going to come early?
Me: I’m going to try.
Zoe: You tell your boss that this little girl told you to come early.
Me: Ok.
Zoe: You tell her.
Me: Ok I will.
Zoe: What’s she going to say?
Me: I don’t know but let me find out and I’ll tell you after school.
Zoe: Ok tell me what she says. I will wait for you here.
Me: Ok.
I could come at 7:30 and she would still think that I came early because she can’t tell time. Haha.So Smurfs the movie is out and Zoe is all aboard on the Smurf train. Do you remember watching it back in the day? It’s now back on tv. I watch it now and I’m like “Omigod their voices are annoying.” I remember my sister, Hannah, had a stuffed Papa Smurf doll and my older sister, Sarah, had a Smurfette. I don’t recall having one of my own come to think of it. HOW COME I DIDN’T HAVE ONE?!!! HUH?!!! The hubs and Zoe have been doing the Smurf Village app on the iPad for a few months. I think the novelty finally wore off for both of them. I just recently took what they created and made it my own just this past weekend. I’m so into the Smurf Village thing! I’m such a nerd. It’s so exciting. Hahaha I’m like “Why wasn’t I into this before?!” I even started to bring the iPad to work just so I could tend to my Smurf garden. I just planted watermelons. WOOHOO! 11 hours till I can harvest them! WOOHOO! So anyways McDonald’s was offering little Smurf figurines with their happy meals. I sacrificed my body and bought happy meals during my lunch hour at work just so I could give her the toys. Our goal from the very beginning was to get Papa Smurf, Brainy, and Smurfette. We now have Smurfette, Farmer Smurf, 3 Handy Smurfs, Joker Smurf, and Painter Smurf. The McDonald’s by me just sold out. Let me just say I never thought in a million years that I’d be “that” mother who calls 5 different McDonald’s to see if they have a particular toy in stock. Never. Never ever. I am that woman now. So they’re sold out everywhere and I’ve been trying to win these stupid toys on Ebay. These stupid Smurfs are ruining my life! Yesterday I got on at work and right when time was running out, at 5 seconds I hit “place bid”. Then it kicked me off and told me to login with my id and password. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So then I get on the next auction for Papa Smurf. At the last 5 second mark I hit “Place Bid” then the little circle pops up and rotates to tell me it’s thinking…thinking…WHAT DA HELL?! Then another screen pops up asking you to “confirm your bid”. Oh EFF ME!! Confirm bid! CONFIRM BID!!! Then the circle pops up again and it’s thinking, and thinking…WTF!!! Then “Bidding has ended for this item.” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This was my work afternoon. This was what kept happening. DAMN MY SLOW WORK COMPUTER!!!! This went on ALLLLL afternoon. I wanted to kill myself. I hate the Smurfs. Stupid blue things. STUPIDS!
Ooooh one of my watermelons I planted yesterday is ready to harvest. CHA-CHING! That’s 120 XPs baby! Holla! I’m ALMOST at Level 18! I’m so close I can almost feel the caterpillars I plan on buying with my gold coins!
{08.14.11} Playdate w/ Miss Lila
We were actually supposed to have a bigger playdate on this day but the weather was crappy and 2 of the kids were feeling under the weather. So we asked Miss Lila and her mother to come over and we asked my other friend Angie to come over as well. The girls had fun. They played together, they dressed up together, they fought together, the played some more, fought some more….Just how a playdate should be. Those 2 would not hold still long enough for me to take a photo of them together. They suck.
Because Lila’s mom is also named Angi, Zoe sometimes says things like…
Zoe: Can we go over Angi eemoh’s house?
Me: Which Angi eemoh?
Zoe: The one without a kid.

kayden is standing!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh you were preggers with him last year and he’s standing nowwwwwww!
wish we could have made it.
@petitetokio - seriously…time FLIES.
@sue_shi - there will be another one…
I used to have the whole smurf village when I was younger. Then off to sleepaway camp I went one year and when I got back, my mother had thrown them all away. Now I only have brainy, vanity, harmony, jokey and grouchy to keep me company at work (and away from my mother).
Omg Smurfs used to be one of my fav shows when I was little, and when I recently watched an episode I was like, “How the heck did I ever like this show? It’s soooo annoying…” (The same goes for The Chipmunks.)
Zoe looks so demure and shy in the Cinderella picture! And I can’t believe Kayden is standing already… (Claire still refuses to crawl or stand, no matter what we try. We think she’ll go straight to walking at a late age, just like her daddy did.)
Is your company hiring by chance? I want to join a team that allows smurf villaging, McDonalds cold calling, ebay auctioneering, and of course Xangaing at the work place!!! Please say yes?!
@deux02 - uh i’m sorry. we don’t hire slackers here.
@GeekInHeels - she’s not shy. she’s acting. hahahaha she’ll stand when she’s ready.
@deux02 - and i’ll have you know that the smurf villaging was done under my desk and the mcdonald’s cold calling was done during my lunch break. oh and the xangaing is actually done in a blank email and then pasted into xanga while the photos are preloaded at home. the ebay auctioning…ok i’ll give u that one. HOLLA!
omg, smurfs. they were huge collectibles when i was a kid. my best friend at the time had tons. i had maybe 1 or 2. don’t know what happened to them. they stopped being cool. if only we knew. the friend told me via FB she has no clue what happened to her huge collection.
i just watched an episode with my husband’s nephew and remember well hating smurfette’s voice, but i forgot that all the voices were grating. except for Johan. i didn’t remember him at all.
congratulations on kayden standing. i saw his picture and thought to myself, he looks different. then i saw your caption. amazing!
Lolol. I play smurfs on my iPad too. So xp points… There with ya!!
@SarahakaHungry - if you remember johan do you remember peewee? i think that was his name. the little blond boy that followed johan.
@PetiteMandoo - as soon as i saw him on that same episode that i watched with my nephew, i remembered him. big appetite, was a sucker for jokey smurf’s exploding gifts.
Awe… Well maybe no more TV while she’s eating?… But I can understand both sides getting frustrated. Her sassy comment DEFINATELY warrants a time out. O.o
She’s so cute with her reference from Spirited Away… That movie freaked me out the first time I watched it. “OMG her parents turned into PIGS?!”…
