Birthdays, Colds, Infections, and Plots

Happy birthday to me, my friend Liliana, my cousin Nicole, Uncle Anthony, Uncle Randy, and Aunt Desiree! (Did I miss anyone else?)

For my birthday, I'm having a monkey-themed slumber party! It's on Saturday, and I've only invited a small amount of people this year; my friend Liliana, mentioned above, my friend Deedee, mentioned in numerous previous posts, my friend Lindsey, Julianah, who is my little sister, Abby's, friend, and very sweet, and I will be inviting the new girl in our Shabbat School, Eden, the next time I see her.

Ethan and Abby are sick with colds, while I'm sick with a double ear infection, and a sinus infection, not to mention a nasty cough. :( And, to my delight, (not!) I'm back on my nose spray! Yay! (Please note the sarcasm in "Yay!")

There's a plot (aka, a puzzle) on a website I like to play on (www.neopets.com), and guess what? I finished it a few hours ago! It took me a while, since I quit doing it for a few months after I got stuck on a particular part, but I was bored, so I started where I left off, got past the part I was stuck on, and finished everything else I had to do. The prizes rock, and I got a cool trophy. (Not a real one; it's on the website)

Abby Moment

*TV commentator voice* And now ladies and gentlemen, to your entertainment, the latest Abby Moment! (Drumroll, please!)

Warning: Do not read this blog post unless you do not mind if you get a stomach-ache while laughing. We in no way take responsibility for stomach-aches, excessive giggling until the next week, or sore hands from slapping your hands on the desk. (Mom and I do that all of the time when we read something funny on the computer)

I wrote how much money I had on a Spongebob Stickynote, and put it above the desk in my room, so I wouldn't forget how much money I had the next time we went shopping. (I have $19.50) My handwriting was a bit sloppy, and Abby didn't see the decimal between the 9 and the 5, so she looked at me, smiled, and confidently said "You have one hundred nineteen fifty dollars."

Tune in next time for another Abby Moment!

*Switches back to regular voice* See? I told you it'd make you laugh!

Well, I should be back in a few days, when the next Abby Moment occurs.

Awana, Birthdays, and a New Book

Tomorrow's Awana. YAY! (And tomorrow is also the Awana Store. Double yay!)

We went to a birthday party today. It was for 2 siblings, a 5 year old and a 7 year old. It was fun, and the girls fought the boys with balloon swords. It was quite fun.

I'm working on a new story; The Adventures of Candy Girl and Monkey Boy, Volume 2! It should be finished in a few months. I've been working on it for a while, but I don't really have an idea for a good plot.... (I don't really have a plot worked out yet, but I have written a few pages of it so far.) Any ideas?

Gymanstics, and an Abby Moment

Yesterday was my first day at gymnastics. It was very fun, and I am now a Level 4 gymnast, instead of a Level 3 gymnast. YAY! I go to gymnastics on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7:00 PM-8:30 PM.

I have something really funny, so here it is. *Takes a deep breath* Mom said we could have 1 small piece of candy for dessert, so after dinner, Abby got out her candy bag, which was about 1/4 or so full of candy, she dipped her head in the candy bag and inhaled deeply. After inhaling and exhaling, she came up out of the bag, and said "it smells like candy in there." (It was really hard for me not to burst out laughing hysterically.) What an Abby Moment!

McKenna, Bubba, and the Hannah Montana Soundtrack

I haven't posted in 9 days, and I still don't have much to write! (Although Mom has not posted in 13 days, and I know she's got quite a few things to write about!)

We are baby-sitting McKenna (Porter's older sister, I've mentioned her a couple of times.) along with a lot of other kids every weekday before they leave.

McKenna, Porter, and their parents are moving on Friday. : (

The CD I've been waiting to buy since about March or so is FINALLY out today! I might buy it on Friday. No promises, though. (Just in case anybody wants to know, it's the Hannah Montana Soundtrack.)

Well, I have to go. Bye!

Pirates, all the Babysitees, and my Lucky Bracelet

Again, I haven't posted in almost a week! (4 days) Double eeek!!

We rented "Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of Black Pearl" today. I liked it. It was very funny! I loved the part where Captain Jack Sparrow said "But why is the rum gone!?"

We've got all of the kids tomorrow, (Porter, Rachel, Ethan, and Alison) so I'm going to have to go to bed a bit early today, since I have to get up at about 7:00 AM or so. (Groan!)

Mom said that when "Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest" comes out on DVD, we can rent it. Yay!

I just found out yesterday that I have a lucky bracelet. (Which is why I'm going to try to wear it every day, for luck.) It's purple, blue, pink, and yellow. It's very pretty, and stylish. (In my opinion, anyways!)

Well, I need to go. It's almost dinner time, and I need to clean my room. And besides, I have nothing else to write, and my hands are starting to hurt.

Halloween, Baby Ethan, Julianah, and the Baby Shower

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in about a week. EEK!

Well, I've decided what to be for Halloween; Pocahontas, from Pocahontas.

Baby Ethan fell asleep in my arms yesterday! He was really tired though, so it wasn't really a surprise. But he fell asleep in the same amount of time it takes Mom to go to the bathroom, maybe a bit less.

Abby's friend Julianah is coming over on Friday.

The baby shower went well. Everyone had a good time, including all of us kids!

Well, I need to sign off. Bye!

Baby Shower, Twins, Grandma's House, and Church

Hi everyone! There's not much to write today, so this'll probably be a really short post.

We're having a baby shower for my Mom's friend, Robin, on Sunday. We've all been cleaning like crazy! I hope all goes well, and we get all of the cleaning done in time for the baby shower.

We don't have the twins today, so I get a bit more leisure time today.

We're going to Grandma's house today!

We have church tomorrow, so we'll probably be waking up a bit earlier tomorrow.

And that's about it.

You know what, pictures, weather, and Tippy

Hi everyone! I finished the first quarter of school on Tuesday, and now the computer has to catch up with me! (Tee hee) So until the computer catches up, I have no schoolwork to do! So it's basically like another summer vacation, but shorter.

I'll add some pictures ASAP, as soon as I can access them. (My dad made my computer the Media Center computer, so I didn't have access to the pictures after that. Oh well!)

It's been very nice out here for the last few days! (Warm, sunny, etc. You get the picture, right?) I'm very glad that it's so nice about, because I get to ride my bike more often! We also get to play "Tippy". (We hang on the swing set and stand on the top of our red toy car, and then one of us, which is usually me, tips it over, hence the name "Tippy".

I have to sign off. : (

Loooooong Day

It's only 9:33 AM, but I can tell already that it's going to be a very busy day, because 1), Mom has a Bible study meeting tonight at church. 2), We have ALL of the kids here today. (Porter, Rachel, the twins, Big Ethan, Abby, and me.) and 3), It's a school day.

And that's just naming a few! Well, at least one of my favorite TV shows is on tonight. (Hannah Montana) AND, it's one of my all-time favorite episodes, too! (It's called "Good Golly Miss Dolly", because Dolly Parton is a guest star in this episode. (She plays Miley and Jackson's aunt)

"When your pants are as tight as mine, you got to have somewhere to put your phone!"--Aunt Dolly, aka, Dolly Parton.

I just love the part when she says that! Anyways, I've got to sign off. :(
