Adventures of Wendy Walker

As we were sitting on my deck watching Denae enjoy the kiddie pool (see previous post), Colleen asked us, "Does anyone remember Wendy Walker?" Wendy Walker? Of course we remember her. "Well," Colleen says, "the other day I was at my parents place and my Mom gives me this doll and tells me to take it FAR away from her house. This doll has a Billy Rae Cyrus haircut and it's all matted and she looks awful. Well, Denae saw it and loves it. She drags that thing everywhere, but Shane (Colleen's husband) HATES it and wants me to get rid of it. The thing is life size so if Denae leaves it outside on the lawn, Shane comes home and sees this thing laying face down and for a split second thinks it's Denae." We all started howling at this point because we can just imagine how it would look real. So even though Colleen feels bad for Denae, she's decided to get rid of it. After a few more stories, I said, "Oh man. That's too funny. I'm going to find a picture of Wendy Walker on the internet and blog about this." To which Colleen said, "Oh, it's in the back of my van right now if you want to get it." Did I want to get it? What do you think I did?


Look who came to visit? Hello Wendy!


Of course we had to recreate the infamous face down in the lawn scene.

Then we figured Wendy was a little embarrassed (or maybe she was planning her revenge) so she wanted some alone time.

We had been talking previously about people we knew who'd gotten their heads stuck in stair railings, so guess who got to try it? Yup, WENDY!

Then we decided to be nice and let her suntan with us. Ok, really ??? Our stomachs were so sore from laughing so hard that we just had to take a break. :)

The whole time we were dragging Wendy around and laughing, Denae was just looking at us like, "What the heck, people?" Colleen said when she took Denae inside to change, Denae looked at her and said, "My doll funny."

Aaaahh, good, crazy times. Yes, I'm a little weird, but man, was it funny. Maybe you had to be there. Anyways, here's Denae for one of the last times with Wendy Walker. Mommy put her back in the plastic bag head down in the back of the van and now she's on her way to MCC. Bren suggested trying to sell her for a pretty penny ... any takers?

I almost heard that Sarah McLachlan song playing from Toy Story when her doll gets taken away ... almost.
