A lot of fun going on.

Over the last few weeks we have been doing the every day thing every day...Ummm well. First off we celebrated Heidi's 5th Birthday on October 4th. She was so excited for days prior to her birthday she would tell everyone that it was her birthday.

On the big day she took Dora the Explorer pop cycles to school she was the most impressed by the fact that they were in different shapes. That night we fixed up the house. I was just going to do a little crape paper and fill a few balloons.  I was running around like crazy trying to do my job and get things set for the party. Heidi wanted an ice cream cake. I had wanted to make her one of my home made cakes that I use to do for the other kids when they were little but she had her heart set on having one just like Josh did for his birthday. LOL except his was not pink!!

Well when Will went out to get the cake unbeknown to me he had taken the balloons as well and got them filled with helium. Way cool in anyone's mind so now we had like 25 balloons floating around.

We had a wonderful party and Heidi got a number of Polly dolls and the new Tinker Bell movie.

 

On October 12th when I got home from work I was met at the door by Autumn she was so excited because she had just found out that a T.V.  band called Big Time Rush was going to be coming to the Mall in Daytona beach and she wanted to go so badly. Big Time Rush is a show on Nickelodeon. There There are 4 boy's in this band, it's kinda the same kine of thing the Monkey's were in the 60's and 70's but the girl's think they are wonderful. I asked her when it was going to be and she told me the next day; and that it was going to start at 6:00 PM. I looked at my planner and saw that I had a 4:00 appointment. Autumn was discouraged but I told her that we may still be able to go because of the fact that the appointment would only take about a half an hour and we could get out to Daytona in no time at all. 

Well she started looking for more information when she learned that in fact they were not going to be in Daytona but in Altamont Springs that is down in Orlando and there would be no way I could get my appointment done and down there in enough time. Autumn was dissapointed but she handled it pretty well.

Ok now on the day of the event I was doing my job kinda lol when the phone rang and it was the family I had the appointment with and she said that she was not going to be able to make it and wondered if we could reschedule it. I was like let me see. Yes, yes we can. So I then stated to research about taking the girls to see Big Time Rush. What I found out was that they were only going to sign their new CD and nothing else. For each CD you bought you got a blue band to put on and with this band you would be able to talk to the boy's.

I also found out they were only giving out 600 of these tings and I wondered if there was any way I would get one of them. So when the girl's got home from school I told them that I was taking them to see Big Time Rush boy did they ever get their homework done fast.

On the road by 4:15 we made our way down. Got there and the line was half way around the building but we did not get worried we went in and asked if they still had any bands and they did so we bought the CD. The next thing we had to do was to decide who would be the one to wear said treasure. I chose Autumn because she was the one to find out about it and she was the most excited about meeting them. 

 SOOOOOOOOOO standing in line.

      

 While standing in line we saw a terrible travesty! the murder of a helpless Resse's Peanut butter cup. As we slowly filled past such a waist of a fantastic Yummy treat. Poor Poor candy never to fulfill it purpose in life. To never be devoured and licked off of the black paper cup. snif.

The sound of a helicopter caught our attention away from the tragedy of the uneaten candy and we were then entertained by Channel 6 News the girl's waved and jumped up and down. We wondered if we were one t.v.

After a short wait of ....2 hours we were getting closer. Behind up were the poor saps that did not get there as early as we did. lol

 

Almost there. Here is the person telling everyone what to do. He asked how many and I said 5 but we have only 1 blue band (aka that evil thing that we had to have for the girls to meet the band.) So he ushered Autumn forward and Hannah, Heidi and Abby off to the side. They could still see the boy's but not talk to them. Then one of the people asked why they did not have a band and I said I just did not have enough money to buy 4 CD's. Then  they asked so they're sharing the CD and I said yes. Well all of a sudden the man in the suit you see in the back ground walked up and said this wont do hurry up all of you can meet the band. My heart filled I almost cried. The girls were so happy!!

Here is the video. 

Here is the end product. They were so pumped.

Poor Heidi she was getting so worn out. It was now after 8:00 her bed time. But we could not go home hungery so we stopped off at Cracker Barrel and had a fun dinner.

I'm so glad that I was able to do this for the girl's. It will be a wonderful memory.
