mlk day!

i have never celebrated martin luther king's day. usually i would celebrate by not going to school, however this time i believe i went beyond the usual. i probably had one of the best days of my freakin' life. . . well it was close. haha.
so the first part of my day really has nothing to do with martin luther king's day but it's still worth blogging about.

i started my day out wearing my frosted flake pajamas! i love these things! not the cereal, the pants. they are pretty rad so i would highly suggest going and getting a pair before they are ALL sold out. haha. i had a couple chores to do before i could head out on my adventure. so i did those, and i decided that i was going to go see bed time stories at noon. what a funny movie. not the funniest or the best, but worth seeing. me and melissa got in for free so it was not a waste of our time or anything. there was also a preview or two that were interesting so i am stoked to go see more. and i'm sorry you have to turn your head to see my picture the right way up. (: your face should look something like that. as i was headed to the movie theaters i totally forgot to brush my teeth. how gross. so me and marie rushed into walgreens and bought the most fantastic and pearadise tasting gum on the planet. i only used that word because thats what it is called. melissa hates these glasses. they have leopard print on the inside of them. oh yeah. totally sick. i think they are fun to wear, but i only put them on in certain occasions. i am almost out of this gum, which is not bad because it was only seventy cents. i thought because of the wicked packaging it would cost more but i think i found a deal. . . on gum. melissa took this picture, and she doesn't like those glasses on me. haha. that's mostly why i wear them. not to mention the leopardhaha. anyways, i decided that i would make a cake to celebrate that day. after all i wasn't doing anything all day so why not. and then, just as i was thinking about the cake i had a revelation. we would make marble cake, to represent the integration of african-americans, hispanics, and americans. in a cake!!! but wait. we would take brown frosting and cover it, and then top it off with a drawing of MLK in white frosting. i was amazed with my brilliancy. so me and melissa had to head to wal*mart to grab a few items before we could start. this is my tour guide, because i kinda didn't know how to get to wal*mart efficiently enough, so she kinda helped my get there. i was pretty excited to find this hidden road because it is a lot quicker to get there now that i know. haha. so we were in wal*mart and totally were too busy talking that we walked past the cake mix aisle, but we eventually found it. and then, when we got there we couldn't even find the marble mix. i was worried! some lady moved her cart and then it appeared. it was kinda funny. but we eventually found it. we were pretty happy because any normal cake mix wouldn't be all that cool. it was pretty neat-o i will admit. we felt like taking a ridiculous amount of pictures so just be prepared. so after buying our moist deluxe cake mix, we both saw a pack of diego cake. . . things. i don't know what they call them but i was really tempted too buy them because diego was african-american, or so i think. and i also could have drawn other races amongst the top of my cake too, but i didn't want to spend the money. but they were rather cool. but not totally worth. it. we went home and made the beautiful cake. it was looking way sick before it was baked so i just had to photo. it was so amazing! look at that! it looked like real marble, i think. except it was edible! thats the coolest part. melissa kinda had a problem with me licking the spatula, or the knife even tho we were totally done using it. haha. it was a pretty cool looking cake before we baked it so that was neat. so i have been in kind of in need of a hair cut, to reduce my poofness, i went to my friend chelsea. i've known this chick since i was probably two or younger. i think. i mean, she's that kid that you have known all your life, and are really freakin' good friends with. but its a brother sister kinda thing. so i trust her with almost my life. . . that's why i trusted her cutting my hair!!! i appreciate her style 100% and so i wasn't worried and just let her do whatever she wanted. me and her are going to probably know each other 'til we are wrinkled. gross. but my hair cut went prett fantastic. i sat in her kitchen and she cut away. i saw her cutting emmy's hair before and emmy's hair was looking hot, so i had no fear. chelsea actually fixed my hair instead of messing it up so i was excited. oh! and i met a new person named emmy. i told her to read my blog so hopefully she reads this and is proud of me. she was a pretty rad chick and we got to hang out for a good amount of time, but she was pretty cool. i mean, if she's chelsea's friend she might as well be mine. haha, just kidding em. but we had a wicked high five i'll admit that.
chelsea looks like a freakin pro cutting it. it looks so hot now. haha. but it will look even hotter when it gets a little longer so we can do more stuff with it. haha, yeah. so i was i decided to rush home so we could frost our cake. i had almost forgot about. luckily my mother was kind enough to take out the cake so it wouldn't burn. and with a couple genius's and some frosting our masterpiece was finished. . . .
going to try to do something like this again. and to finish they day, we took a cheesy smile picture. which actually kinda turned out good. beautiful i must say. it was about five or so, when melissa's family and the cincineros were invited to family home evening. it was loads of fun. holy cow. we played an awesome sentence game with not so awesome outcomes. somethings had to do with giving birth, bishops, dancing under tables and fish hatcheries. it was quite a long day, but it was pretty freakin' amazing. and of course i took even more pictures. i was in the mood anyways. i have never went to such full extents to celebrate such a holiday but it felt great! i am definitelyhaha, so happy martin luther king's day. and if you got the day off, then hooray.

Poor thing! Tell Melissa that licking the spatula is a God given right to those who take the time to bake. Kris had the same problem with me doing just that until I told him what was what (I think I threatened him also with intense pain if he didn't let me lick the spatula). So now I do it just to annoy the heck out of him and I give each kid their own mini spoon dipped in the batter to really drive him nuts! BTW, your hair looks great!
