What would animals say if they could talk?


What do you think that animals talk about?They probably say stuff like feed me or love me or "Scratch my ears, will ya?" Maybe they have organized behind our backs so that they have long distance communication. The local leaders would probably say: "Good work hiding your IQs, fellow animals! We still haven't found a way to tip over heavy garbage cans! Our undercover dog has not gained access to indoors to find the nearest television station and our undercover cat has not kidnapped anyone for a ransome yet! Keep up the good work!"

I love babies!

The Goodmans came to my house yesterday, and I just love my new cousin, Valor! She has an unbelievably subtle temper and barely ever cries. She just looks around when she's awake. I still love Valor's big sister, Winter, but babies are just so adorable! I have finished all of the Goodmans' gifts except for my Uncle Binky's gift- which is the Kleenex box cover.

My feisty pony, or, real men have horses!

To your right is my family pony, Sugar Cube. We keep her at my Great-Aunt Norma's House. When we first got her, her older brother, Mumble, was there too. We had to babysit him for at least a week. On the first day, They both ran out the pasture gate. The good thing was that the backyard gate was closed, and thus they couldn't go out in the streets and be roadkill. We finally coralled the ponies back into the pasture. We still have her currently, but the Flakes (the family who gave us Sugar) took Mumble back to their pasture.

I like crocheting!


Today, I finished the pair of baby booties I made for my new cousin, Valor. I also decided to finish a scarf that hasn't been finished for months for my Aunt Sacha. I'm making a tissue paper box cover for my Uncle Binky. Oh, and by the way, those pictures on the right do not show my pieces of work. Those are someone Else's. I'd take pictures of my work, but the digital camera at our house is currently out of batteries.

What is this world coming to?!?!


In a week, my cousins Winter and Valor are coming. I've been preparing for when it happens and have decided to make a story book for Winter. I am making baby booties for Valor. I decided to see if there was a baby booty pattern in the crochet book I use called Crocheting for Dummies. Believe it or not, there wasn't a single pattern in there! It's crazy!!


The top five things that people crochet are:



  1. afghans

  2. sweaters

  3. scarfs

  4. baby booties

  5. hats

That's okay, though because I just made up a pattern. It's more like a sock, though.

Kids say the darndest things

My parents want me and my brothers to grow up as doctors.
my brothers and I have no objection to this, but Atticus wants to have a part time job as a comedian. He kept on saying Canadian, but today, he finally stopped. However, adults can have that kind of problem too. My dad used to pronounce chimney like this: chim-el-y.

Z Z Z Z Z or- Is it any wonder I never get to sleep at 8:00 PM like everyone else?


See that clock on the right? That's only 2 hours later than the bedtime I've been having lately, and that includes this blog- don't worry- I'll still type down new posts for this blog. I do it for you viewers. I hope you enjoy it. Unfortunately, I haven't even found time to make my bed with my frantic schedules.
My eyes feel miserable and dry as I type.
