Land of Sweets

O Gingerbread House! O Gingerbread House!
How lovely are thy walls!

Decorated with gummi drops-
Bejeweled with candy pops!

You are so sweet-
A yummy treat!

O Gingerbread House! O Gingerbread House!
How lovely are thy walls!


Tonight we put together our first Gingerbread house! Surprisingly, putting it together was more difficult than we thought, but in the end it came out smashingly! What was even funnier was than the day before one of Mom and Dad's coworkers sent us a special gift!


Miss. Betty even made it herself. Look how cute this candy winter wonder land is and it even comes with nutcrackers! So now we have a mini Land of Sweets! But no Land of Sweets would be complete without its sovereign!

And here she is, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her little plum friends!

Tomorrow is Christmas eve! I know I can't wait! How about you?

Deck the Halls

It's that time of year again! Bust out the Christmas trees and ornaments! This year we choose to use a really long pencil tree! We even had to get a step ladder to put some of the decorations on! Talk about hanging a star on the highest bough. We tried to get more of a red and gold theme going with our ornaments. With such an awesome tree Santa is sure to leave some extra presents an if not then we'll just bribe him with some tasty cookies!



Yay! Christmas! That looks super cozy and festive! Of course we didn't get to that peaceful look with out a little goofing off!







Feeling lots of holiday cheer, I decided to spread the joy up stairs in my room with a purple tree. The star I had for the top was to heavy so I used an angel bunny. My tree is a mix of strange and holiday tradition.



So with Christmas morning only nine days away are you ready?

Happy Halloween!

'Tis the holiday for pumpkins and ghost! Our Halloween was fairly calm. It was rainy so we didn't get many trick or treaters and what few we got were scared to death by our beast- Buffy! I wish we had gotten her a little demon costume. She fits the role perfectly.


Mom and Dad spent the night watching CSI (Trying not to eat all the left over candy. They had more will power than I did! I dressed up for a while as the White Rabbit which is really easy now because of my new hat I bought at AWA.


Dad suggested that I were my hat to Nursery tomorrow. Sounds like a ton of fun!

Compy Troubles

Well, it's happened again. My room must be curse because I've had three computer problems within the last year or so. First my old computer straight up died. Then after I got Lappy it kept shutting down for no reason. Well, now comes the trilling sequel of this tragic trilogy! The green compy has failed me and almost moved me to tears.

Okay! Okay! I was practically crying a river!

For some reason my computers can't stand it when I get really, really important projects because they just quit working in the middle of them. The project this time was my midterm paper for Literature class! I was working on it and another project before one of my classes when all of a sudden- Phuuuuut! It stops.

I was freaking out a whole lot because this particular midterm was due the next day. (My professor gave us amnesty for at least two assignments so I'm covered!) This time I was prepared! I had most of my information backed up anyways. With Hans to the rescue, he was able to take the hard drive out to retrieve the extra information. All he had to do was take my hard drive and hook it up to his computer and it worked like a charm!

The green compy will work again. Hans is debating whether or not the power supply or the video card has played out. We're hoping we diagnose it right because hardware is expensive.

So all in all, I'm so grateful to have a computer genius living with us! Hopefully nothing bad happens to the laptop. (Knock on wood) And now here are some pictures of the computers insides!

Average Life

There's not much to report other than average life at our house hold. So in place of an actual update here's a cute picture of Buffy instead!


Also I've neglected poor Bob and Phred so I drew a picture to commemorate them.

It's a Bugs Life

Ew, Bugs! We have some creepy crawlies showing up all of a sudden! Probably because it's been wet and cold!



^Mister Stick Bug! Whoosh! He hangs on our grill like a ninja!


^The Hungry Caterpillar! Silly caterpillar! You can't eat bricks!
