Zarah and I went to Dina apartment near the downtown Library. We hung out for a while and then Dina went to a stay all night party so Zarah and I watched T.V. and played with the rabbit. The Rabbits name is Bindi
I bought tickets for the Miranda sings show way back in April… But the show date finally arrived. July 31st 2018. Tuesday. Azure and Zarah Back to School Thursday……………It was a dreary rainy day. I went to pick the girls up from Dan and Missy’s house.
I tried to keep the show a secret since I got the tickets and were pretty sure they had forgotten about it. However Azure remembered. The start of the Meet and Greet began at 4:30.
We got down town, I parked as close as I could to the Murat, without letting Zarah know where we were going. We ate at Subway.. I was just killing time before we walked to the show.
In the video later down the page, you can see Azure covering Zarahs eyes before she could see the marquee…
06-08-2018
Azure and Zarah Stayed with me We went shopping for Water and fresh Fruits and Vegetables. (At Kroger) We refilled our water bottles once a week.. we do 7-8 bottles a week.
Breakfast Oatmeal with Bananas, Strawberries, Blue berries, Strawberries, Cinnamon, and touch of Brown Sugar.
So for breakfast we had oatmeal with Blueberries, Bananas, Walnuts, Strawberries and stevia.
On June 9th Azure,Zarah and I went up to Deeys’s. I forget Why? Computer Problems. Buku and Azure Debuted their extra head trick……And to let Azure stay all night.
Because I knew Zarah was sad about Azure and Brooklyn, I booked a couple hours at Hot Skates in Avon….. Jason and Kaylin Showed up… I was just to heavy to keep my ankles from buckling. Jason tried to act comfortable and cool, But I could see him on the edge of falling quite a few times. I skated around once or twice but realized I am out of shape.
We had to leave Skating at around 3:00 so that we could make it to Jaydens graduation party at 5:00. We hauled butt to Ingalls. We stopped at the CVS in ingalls to get a 50 dollar gift card and card for Jayden.Â
We had a nice time Broolynn sang and Elvis song and I butchered “Little Wing”. I didn’t care… My goal was to show the girls that singing in front of people is no big deal. Whether you are good or not is a different story..
. I Butchered “little wing” as Jeff played bass and Gordon Brooks played Keyboard…. I didn’t care I just wanted Azure to see that its nothing to go out and do it.Brooklynn Sang I can’t help falling in love with you… I found out later that she was mad that I laid the groundwork for her to sing….lol
It was incredible that Deeya, Carla, and I actually got together… it was a wonderful time…We at subway and caught up on old times
This always upsets Zarah she doesn’t understand why is isn’t invited. It hurts my heart but I understand Azure and Brooklynn Point of View. she cried a lot… but we worked it out.
We drove back to Rockville road by my house and went to the Dairy Queen to Cheer her up…
The weather was perfect… memorable time out side with Zarah….
Â
Went to Target and bought Fruits and Veggies for the Weekend.
Flowers in my yard summer 2018
Azure loved the Watermelon Zarah and I bought…. Later for lunch we went to Fazolis
I got Azure some roller blades at good will for like $6 dollars.. they look brand new..
The next day I got Zarah some roller skates at Emporium 40 for 10 dollars….
The spend the rest of the day Practicing….
Zarah tried to a leg lift while skating and fell hard. I was in the dining room in the house and heard her fall…. I ran outside and picked her up and carried her in the house. I said well, I would rather you call on your butt than you head…………………………………………………….
We woke up around 8:30 am. I fed the girls and put a new door knob on my bedroom. They girls played. I took a shower and washed to clothes to take. The girls packed up to.
I put the little Chickadee bird out by the tree where it was found yesterday. Within an hour or so it was gone. I would like to think it finally flew off.
We finally headed out about 12:30 We stopped and got McDonalds on Southport Road.
As soon as we got there Dina gave me the keys to their fancy golf cart ATV and put me to work.
The girls played with the Donkys and Pigs. Then they collected Chicken eggs. Dina wanted to make sure we got all of the back in the Pen because of recent Fox sightings.
Several of Dina’s co-workers and Spouses showed up. They were nice.
We decided to take a preliminary walk out to the Lake.
We scoped it out and ran back
Zarah and Alivia and Azure made a scene trying to teach Dina how to do the floss. We had a lot of laughs but she finally picked it up .
Next we moved the party out to the lake and had a great time for about 4Â hours.
Dina had a grill out on the back porch. She made Veggie Burgers with Vegan Cheese. Salad, Black Eyed pea salad, Corn on the cob, and lots of other stuff.
Alivia was getting tired and I had to work Tuesday so we decided to head on out. But not before the girls tried Dina’s cheese cake. It was really good. We said our goodbyes and headed out.
Alivia was alseep in 10 minutes. I stopped at a gas station and got a water.
We found out that Alivia’s mom offered to come and get all 3 girls. That was a relief. I was beat. She got there about 45 minutes after we got to the house. Azure showed her the mice and bedroom. And left.
Tim Dropped the girls off around 6:00 P.M. Azure asked me if her friend Alivia could stay all night. I said “I don’t care”. Azure said Alivia was at Hot Skates in Avon. She was going to be skating and asked me if I could pick her up then. I said “Ok”.
I preparation for the weekend we decided to walk through the woods behind my house over to the Family Dollar store and get a few food items.
On our walk back we saw this DragonFly getting some son on the wall.
Azure had a Vegetarian Chicken Nuggets and Zarah had a Vegetarian Hamburger (Griller). Jason and Kaylin came over. Jason started trying to clean/stain the top of my dining room table.
Zarah and Kaylin rode Razor schooters out in the street (its a dead end). Jason stayed out side to keep and eye on them. He talked on the phone to someone for a long while.
Azure and I went to Avon to get Alivia around 8:40. Then as soon as I got back Jason asked me if I would go get him and Kaylin some Qdoba…I was like… Why didn’t you call me when I was already going past the place…. I went. When I got back I found out Azure had been hit in the head by a sliding closet door that slipped when she was pulling a rug from under it.
The girls all had a lot of fun. I turned on Pandora and turned on my E.V. Speakers. They danced and played.
The girls watched mouse care video’s on Youtube.com
The girls clowned around and sang for quite a while. Then we all played guitars and Ukes.
Zarah got into the Action too.
Alivia was tired. Azure and Alivia slept in Azure’s bunk . Zarah slept in my bed.
Saturday morning !
The girls did tumbling on the mattress and rode their bouncy animals. Stephanie came over to pickup Kaylin. Jason left to go home and take a shower.
I told the girls I would take them out to breakfast. I was craving Bisquits and gravy with no sausage. They make this at Denny’s with Country Gravy. We were going to head over to the one on Crawfordsville road but them I realized it would be packed because of all of the race fans in for tomorrows INDY 500, Since that was out we drove down to the Denny’s on Kentucky Avenue.
It was freezing Inside and the food took a long time to arrive but we had fun.
Azure and I had the Country Biscuits and Gravy, Aliva had pancakes and Scrambled eggs. Zarah had pancakes and bacon.
While we had been driving to Denny’s I heard a lot of announcements about the Indy 500 IPL parade down town while listening to WIBC. I made the mistake of asking the girls wanted to go check it out. It ended up that Zarah was the only one who was excited to go. We were’nt that far and I didn’t want to let Azure down so we drove downtown. After driving around for ever we found a parking place about 8 blocks away. I was a warm day out but nice.
Taking a pic of us and the crowd in the reflective glass on the AT&T Buildng
Another reflective pick.
May Joe Hogsett – Behind them. He came to Azure’s play BOBBY a couple of months ago.
Alivia had an upset stomach so we decided to leave about 1/2 way through.
We got home and played with the mouse for a bit. It was a little nervous and pooed on Azures wrist.
The talk kept moving back and forth between getting a dog or a cat. And I needed to by another pipe to connect the two cages. We went to the PetSmart in Avon and then the one in Plain field.
Then we went to Target next door and got some munchies.
After that we walked to Justice for about 30 minutes. But didn’t buy anything. We left… took Alivia home to pack more clothes and a Swim Suit. We left and did the same thing a Azure and Zarah’s house. I met their new Labradoodle Mattis, and held Remi outside on the back porch while they were packing. Finally we left to go home.
Buy time we got back my feet were tired from all of the walking. Jason called and asked if he and his daughter could come back over. I was TOOO tired. I told him that I just wanted to chill.
But two minutes after we hung up there was a knock at my door. I thought. Oh wow. Jason came over anyway. However when I answered the door it was one of my neighbors. She was all dressed up and kinda cute. First she apologized for having a black eye and the invited us over for her 10 year old daughters birthday party. I told them we would be honored to come.
They had food and drinks. We hung out in the back yard until all of the sudden it started raining so we took the party inside.
We had fun, but it was hot in the house due to so many people and one window A.C. We left around 9:30. We had a nice time though!
The girls got hungry again around 11:30 so I went over to Burger King and got two veggie burgers, Fries and Chicken fingers. I got each of the girl a peace of pie. They watch Vine videos on You tube for a couple of hours (CLEAN VERSION)
SUNDAY MAY 27th The next morning the girls went outside to play in the street. My neighbor Renfus had found a baby bird with a broken foot and not yet able to fly. Azure and I were concerned about the way he was handling the bird but didn’t say much. He was hand feeding it big black ants. And it was actually eating them.
Azure and I went to family dollar and got a piece neon construction paper. They made a sign and i took it out to the corner of Rockville road and hung it over a Hoosier racing tire. People started honking at us right away.
Then I made Oatmeal with Bluberries, Bananas, Walnuts, and Almond milk and a pinch brown sugar and cinnamon.
Azure wanted to go over to the 40 Emporium Flea Market to see if we could find an aquarium for the mice to live in.
Azure and Alivia found dolls that they couldn’t live without.
We ate Mac and Cheese and Vegetable soup for lunch.
We found a clean eye dropper and Azure fed the bird some water. It actually drank it. I was surprized.
Then Azure decided she wanted to got to Hobbly lobby and buy some different hair for her doll. We got all the way there and realized that hobby lobby was closed on Sunday. So we went to Joann Fabrics and Target. Azure bought some baby hats for her doll. that made her happy.
Then they played hop scotch in the street and rode the Razors.
We went back in the house. Azure was distraught over the baby bird. I coulnd’t convince to to let go if it. So finally i walked over to the neighbors house and asked them it we could take the bird. The plan was to take the baby bird down to Dina and Ryans to see if they would know what to do. The girls made the bird (Chickadee) in a milk crate with grass, water, and food. We put him near the low hanging limbs so that he/she would feel close to trees. We check on it around 1:00. It looked to be sleeping comfortably .
We went back inside and watch a bunch of Maddie and Liv episodes….. Azure got tired first tonight and slept in my bed with me and Zarah. Alivia Slept in Azure’s bed.
Azure went to sleep around 9:30 in her room. She had me adjust her door so the hallway light shined in a little.
I went to bed a little bit later..
Saturday 05-12-2018
Azure set the alarm on her phone for 7:00 am. I saw the light in the hallway come on and I got up at the same time.
I found some bobby pins and help Azure get the bun in her hair just the way she wanted it.
Kaylin couldn’t decide if she wanted to go and messed around until the very last second to get dressed.
We left the house around 8:00 a.m. We needed to be there by 9:00 a.m. Azure was hungry so I stopped at Wal-mart on Rockville road. Azure waited in the car while, Zarah, Kaylin and I ran in to get some fruit. Zarah wanted Pineapple, Kaylin wanted Chips and a cookie from Subway.
We dropped Azure off in front of the School at 9:05.
Azure told me that the recital started at 11:00 a.m so we had a couple of hours to kill. I parked the car behind the school and the girls had fun running around the concession stand and bleachers and track.
Courtney texted me and told me that the recital didn’t start until noon. So I asked the girls if they wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese. They of course wanted to. I asked Siri to give me driving directions to the Chuckie Cheese in Avon. I didn’t realize until we were almost there that it was practically all the way back to my house. They opened at 10:00 a.m. We got there at 9:58 a.m.
There was a father and his son walking up at the same time and he told me I could download a coupon for unlimited play for an hour. I was like, perfect!!. I had the salad bar while the girls played. They had a ball, and practically had the place to our self.
By the time the cards ran out at the end of an hour. Zarah had 375 tickets and Kaylin had 450 tickets. We were starting to run behind and by the time the girls got their tickets counted and trinkets picked out it was almost 11:20. I was getting antsy because I began to realize we were going to be late for the recital. By the time we got out of there I was sure we would be a little late. I texted Courtney and asked her to save 3 seats.
We arrived at 12:10. We got in the auditorium and waited for the act that was up before we took our seats.
Azure did a wonderful job…. I am so proud her her….. Dan, Courtney Remi, Tim, Zarah, Kaylin, Azure and I all met i the lobby and took pics and visited for a few minutes.
We got back to the house
Around 4:00 pm. we started talking about eating healthy, eventually I told the girls that we would go to Kroger and they could pick out dinner and then make it. They were excited as we walked through the aisles of Kroger. They kept telling Jason and I that we were the kids and that they were going to make our dinner for us. They were very happy… it was fun…..
They picked out corn on cob, potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon, and I picked out one stalk of rhubarb. I wanted them to try something they had never had before
The girls did most of it… although I helped with the cutting and boiling water.
Dinner was delicious and we had a good time and a lot of laugh….
I gave everyone a chunk of rhubarb, it tasted like a sour apple… it was met with mixed reviews..
When I was a young boy in Florida, my Grandma had this in her back yard it was a treat back then.
Sunday May 13th 2018
Jason helped me clean up my garage… now I get my car in it….. love it….
Happiness is opening your note pad to find a secret note from your little Zebra !!!!!!!!!!!!
Courtney Texted me on Thursday and asked me if I could take Azure and her friend to ICC at Butler University. I said “Yes”.
I got to Azure’s house around 6:00 p.m. Tim, Courtney, Azure, and Remi pulled up right behind me in the driveway. Tim told me that Azure was starving. I said we would stop and get something.
Tim went to the garage and got out a small ATV for Zarah to ride. He also got out a Pick electric Barbie car for Remi. It was a little cool out but there were no clouds in the sky.
Zarah put on an adult sized silver full faced helmet and began to ride around in the cornfield beside the house.
I told Azure we better hit the road if we are gonna make it to Butler before 7:00p.m.
When we arrived at Ella’s house to pick her up her mother was in the driveway. She walked over to the passenger side window beside Azure. She said “You know that ICC was cancelled tonight don’t you?”‘
I said “no I didn’t, but I am glad that I found out before that we drove all the way to Indianapolis!”
As we pulled out of the drive way I said, “Well I came all this way, do you want to get something to eat?” She said “Yes”. I drove back to A&Z’s house. Zarah was driving around in the front yard.
We picked her up and went to Subway. Both Azure and Zarah got 6″ Veggie Delights. I just got a bag of chips.
It was windy and slightly chilly but we had some laughs and a good time.Â
I took the girls back to their house. Azure road the ATV. Remi asked me to push her on the swing in the back yard. Zarah asked me if she could stay all night. I said, well, you will be coming over for the weekend tomorrow so lets just wait until then. I talked to Tim out in the yard for a few minutes and then headed out….I went home and watched a documentary about outer space and the planets. I made me remember the planetarium at Butler University. I looked it up on the internet. It was open Friday and Saturday. I am going to take the girls tomorrow.
Friday 04-27 – I got home and cleaned the house before the girls came over. Around 6:30 I texted Courtney to ask if I was picking up the girls or if she was going to bring them. She said “We are going to bring them, they are just being slow”.
Unfortunately they didn’t show up until about 8:00 pm. I thought to my self “Oh well I will just take them tomorrow night” the sky is supposed to clear both nights.
The girls got into their Easter chairs and chilled out.
Saturday – Â 04-28-2018
I aksed Azure and Zarah if they wanted to go to a pet store. and I went to I forgot to take my IPhone with me. Tim and Courtney met us at Petsmart in Plainfield it was a warm spring day.
Azure and Zarah ran into Justice next door to Petsmart. Courtney and Tim pulled up in a BMW coupe that they rented to take to Chicago. I guess they were going to see some cage fighting matches.
Remi found my shoes and walked around in them for a while. She was laughing as she clopped around.
I put gloves on Remi’s feet and she thought is was HILARIOUS…. She laughed and laughed. I wish more of my pictures would have turned out.
I went to Lowe’s to look for a mower belt. Zarah went with me and looked for a tube for the mouse to go into. She kept taking pics with my phone and sending the to Azure for approval… it was cute.
