Friday Challenge

Well... Alex & Arianne (the sisters that no one can tell apart...but really you CAN tell them apart) have weekly challenges, with the goal of completing by Friday! These girls are talented. Doing crafts, cooking, sewing curtains?... yep, the list goes on. I offered the suggestion that this Friday they create a poem/rap of what their week was like! Yah. Why not? You're never too old for a little poetry. So, I figured I would crash their challenge and invite myself to do the same!


It's Friday, Friday, Gotta get down on Friday
7pm drove to the mall.
Yah. Don't get too excited. That song's not going to work.

Shopping with my sister and Avery at the mall,
Food court, pet store, and free sunglasses!
Maybe next week a pub crawl?



My friend Alicia came to town.
Slumber party, pictures & jamming.
Fresh off her mish... she's not a run around.

Saturday a lot was done
Our poor cars were fixed.
And don't forget grocery shopping. Way overdone.
Yes, I rhymed done with over done. How dare you poke fun.
Becaaaause Saturday is a special day, it's the day you get ready for Sunday.
You clean the house and you shop at the store, so you don't have to work until Moooonday.

Happy Father's day, Sunday.
A lunchbox & garage opener, thanks for being such a great Dad
We're all grateful today you didn't wear plaid.
Also, that your name isn't Chad.
Or that you live in Baghdad.

An evening with the Shanks
Delicious snacks & laughing
We had such a blast. THANKS!


Monday, I burnt cookies
Oops, to my VT ladies
Instead you got candies.
If you don't think that rhymed or chimed, It could have been better timed.
I'm not exactly a poet, and you know it.

Mike took the pool down
There was a leg that was sinking too low to the ground.
The lawn now smells so lovely...
and even looks like we had a visit from an Alien or the Grand Prix.


A movie with the Kutarna's for FHE
Nacho Libre, 1st time watching, it was funny to see.

For supper on Tuesday we went out.
When we noticed that's not pin striping on the side...
That's a long scratch on the side of Oprah, no doubt.
To whomever keyed our Jeep.
Were you dared? Angry for taking our pool down? Jealous I'm prettier than you?
Whatever it was, or whoever it was. Go to... Bleeeep.
It could have been worse, an accident or a hit.
But, if we catch you. You're in deep... trouble.

That evening, I made something for Avery. You may have laughed.
I'll use my mother-in-law's word. I'm a bit of the anti-craft.
Avery loved the magnetic alphabet.
A little too much, that she chewed on 2 letters and they got soggy & wet.






Wednesday, It's My Mom's last work day!
Hurrrrrrraaaay!!
Nath, hung out most of the day.
I got to go to the gym and play.
Shouldn't have had that last buffet.
Say no to the McDonald parfait.
Guess it's time to repay.
What do you say?
Should I take up ballet?

Don't forget a letter to clean up our yard
I felt a bit like a retard.
We've been cleaning our place up so hard.
Then I decided to make a fake card...
A letter to the Biebers from the Shanks
But you thought it was the Housing Authority... Thanks.
That laugh made Alex and me feel a bit better,
Hope you guys liked your warning letter.
Especially because your yard is the cleanest,
It was probably confusing why it was the meanest.

Thursday, glad Mike has a heart.
We are now sponsoring a child.
Let's add that to the shopping cart.
His name is Elias from Ethiopia
I hope our contribution can help...
To prevent diarrhea.


And now it's finally Friday Friday, we so excited!
Tonight we are going to see the movie "Bad Teacher" It looks pretty funny.
Stay tuned for a movie review.
Happy weekend Ya'll!!
