Is this cat real?

Emma has found a new friend down at my mom's house, it's the neighbors male kitten and it loves Emma. Anytime she is at my mom's she stands on the porch and yells "white baby!" as loud as she can and the cat comes running as fast as it can. Here is a video of their favorite past time together, keep in mind when you watch it that they have sat like this for hours. Enjoy!

oops! the video was to big to load--so look at the pictures instead. she sits and bounces the kitten for a half hour at a time. It never loses it's patience.

Kira's Halloween Poems

Witches brooming through the sky
Ghostes saying boo all halloween
Goblins scaring everyone
It must be Hall-o-ween!


trick-or-treat
smell my feet
if you don't I don't care
I'll pull down your underwear

6 Quirks

1. I like to make cakes and candy but I can't eat sugar.
2. My eye twitches.
3. I have to constantly pop my ears because my jaw sockets are worn out and it affects the preasure in my ears.
4. I have a four foot bubble, I don't want anyone to come closer than that, I hate to be touched in any way shape or form. This has caused a problem with 2 of my kids, Izzy and Emma both like the feel on skin.
5. I have a shoe and jewelry fettish.
6. I hate to eat in front of people.
7. My headaches come in handy some nights.(Kevin's suggestion)

Favorite Halloween?

We have been obsessing about Halloween at my house for the last 4 weeks and will continue until the the 5th of November. Why you ask. I am in charge of the Halloween Carnival at Creekview again this year. I decided to get an early start this year so my family is terribly tired of Halloween already. But it happens to be my favorite holiday so with this blog I would like to hear back from everyone about what your favorite Halloween has been.
Looking back over the years I have fond memories about many of my dressing up escapades. I remember very vividly dressing up as a barbie in a skin tight full body suit and ratted my hair up just like a barbie and the rockers, one year I dressed as a shower complete with balloon bubbles, a "cereal" killer and a very cute care bear.
I remember hosting my very first Halloween party. I worked so hard to make everything perfect. I went so far as to carve a pumpkin then fill it with dry ice a little water for a center piece. We watched scary movies and played silly games. It was great.
Another memory of dressing up that I have didn't happen on Halloween. Kerstina, Amie, Shaniel and I dressed up as old men and old ladies (clothes courtesy of G-ma and G-pa Bates). Then Grandma talked us into going down to main street. Grandma found Mekette and her friends and turned us loose to humiliate her. I'm sure it worked, and I hope one day Mekette will find it in her to forgive us, but we sure had fun!!!!! Thanks Grandma!
