Birthday lego shark

For my brothers birthday, he got a Lego set, a Slinky, Link shirt, guy necklace, and a Percy Harven Viking's jersey. He has worn the shirts quite a few times all ready. The Lego set makes three things: a shark, an alligator, and a dinosaur. After you make one of them, you have to take apart the one you just made to make another one because there is only enough pieces to make one at a time. We made the shark while we were waiting for breakfast. It was only half done when breakfast was ready so we stopped to eat. He has still only made the shark so far. He said he was going to make the dinosaur this weekend so we will see how it goes. Here is the picture of the shark that we worked on together.

Space Aliens

On Monday, it was my brother's birthday, we went to Space Aliens for dinner. We have only been there twice, once for my brother's birthday last year and now this year. I had a cheesy garlic pizza for dinner. It was so good and bigger than I thought so I ended up bringing three pieces home in a doggy box. I got 440 tickets from games. One of the games I played was Color-rama I got almost all my tickets off that game. Well, 490 if you count the 50 I forgot I put in my pocket. I put them in there because the table was full with the trays and so they wouldn't get dirty. When we got to the prize counter, I didn't have enough for the frog prize I wanted that was 600, so my brother gave me the tickets I needed. The signs outside weren't lit up when we got there, which is when this picture was taken, but they were when we left as it was just about dark out. I like it better when it is lit up.

Yeah! The new Taylor Swift CD!

Yesterday, we went to Wal-mart to get the new Taylor Swift CD "Speak Now." The thing we hate about going to Wal-mart is the round abouts because they are too small and people keep stopping instead of merging on to them. We didn't get a cart because all we went for was the CD. The CD was on the end cap of the shelf so you didn't have to look for it and could just grab it. On our way to check-out we stopped to look at belts for my brothers Halloween costume. He is going to be Link from the game Legend of Zelda. Then we checked-out and when we got in the car I couldn't get the stupid tape off the CD cover. I don't even know why they put the tape on those covers. Stupid tape.

Raggles

Last Friday we got a new cat. He was hanging out in the garbage dumpster where my dad's brother is a cook. They caught him in a live trap and my grandma brought him over to our house. We named him Raggles. He is striped light gray and dark gray. He was very afraid of us so we put him in a rabbit hutch so that he wouldn't run away and would learn that this is where he is going to get fed. On Thursday we thought he was tame enough to take him out of the rabbit hutch. We took him to the vet to get a rabies shot so he doesn't get sick and bite us. When we got home from the vet we let him out of the carrier in the garage and he ran to the back and hid. We are hoping if he gets hungry he will come out. It hasn't worked yet and we have feed him three times since Thursday. I all most caught him last night but he got away. So we'll see if we can get him to like us enough to come and let us pet him and eat.

Stress Pumpkin

This is a pumpkin stress ball. To make a pumpkin stress ball follow these steps.

Things you will need:

If you want a pumpkin get orange balloons, or if not, any color balloon will work, flour, funnel, a stick to poke flour if it gets stuck in funnel, and a spoon or just use your hand.

1. Blow up your balloon so it is not so stiff.

2. Put the funnel in the spout of the balloon.

3. Start putting in flour, poke with stick if the funnel gets clogged.

4. When it's as full as you want it just take out the funnel and tie it off.

5. If your making a pumpkin stress balloon draw on a face.

and there is your stress pumpkin!!!!!!

Clouds!

Yesterday, on our way to officer training, I was trying to get a good picture of the sun because it was soooo pretty. We had the camera with because I'm historian for our club this year and was going to take pictures of the new officers. After couple of minutes the sun was too low so I started taking pictures of the clouds because they were pretty. Here are some of the pictures I took.

Yeah!

Yesterday I went to the orthodontist and they said now I only need to wear my retainers 12 hours a day! He said wear then from like 6 to 6 or 7 to 7. Apparently he does not know when I usually get up. ( about 9:30 or 10:00 )

Eeyore!

It was hard to take his picture because he wouldn't stay still!

Eeyore is my little goat. He is gray, brown, white and very cute. He goes outside almost every day. His house is made of pallets that we nailed together. Some days he is out of his house when we come out in the morning. Last week he broke out of his house twice, the first time he just knocked offthe door, a few days later he just opened it up like a set of double doors! Here is what it looks like from the outside.

And this is how it looks from the inside

Ready to play!

Nikki is a toy fox terrier so she is quit small. A full size tennis ball does not fit in her mouth so we have to get her small ones. We go outside and throw the ball for her and come in when she will not let go of the ball any more. If we don't take the ball from her right away she will sit with it in her mouth just in case we want to play in a minute. This is Nikki with the tennis ball in her mouth.

Como Zoo!

We went to the Como zoo last Friday. Here are some of the pictures we took.

This is a monkey from the ape house who sat against the window looking out. He must have been bored or tired because he started yawning!

This is Sparky. He was looking for a snack, he would zoom around and do a trick and then look at us.
