What should I do for the holidays (Christmas especialy) on HomeschoolBlogger? That was when I had a brilliant idea. what if I made a seperate blog just for the holidays? I could make a bunch of virtual presents; one for each of my HSB friends! Yes! Brilliant! If anyone reading this knows how to make templates, could they make me a Christmas-y one? No Santa Claus, please! I'm very excited for the holidays and can't wait to make the Christmas blog!

Vote and tell everyone!

Guess what we're doing? We're going to go to Oklahoma for Thankgiving! I am SUPER EXCITED!!!! Usually in the fall our grandparents (from our mother's side) from Oklahoma come here and they stay in our other grandparent's house (from our dad's side). BUT since our dad's dad is still a little sick, our other grandparents have nowhere to stay when they visit us. So we're visiting them! It's complicated, but we've figured it all out. I'm so excited! we don't have a exact date yet, but we will. I'm going to go vote on my poll, the top answer! Bye for now!

Crustaceanary

Writing on lobsters is better

Than writing a ordinary letter

There's a few minor flaws

'Cause crustaceans have claws

And lobsters and crabs are much wetter.

And we gave it to my mom's friend Tony for his birthday yesterday and guess what! He liked it so much he wrote a second verse! Here it is:

If lobsters and crabs were for writing

Instead of for cracking and biting

We'd scrawl on their hides

Not nosh their insides

But our files would smell something fright'ning.

Ha ha ha ha! Like it? Post a comment and tell me!

I bet you guys are itching to find out what my novel will be about! Okay, I'll give you a sneak peak. It's about a bunch of fairy tale characters: A princess, a knight, a dragon, a king and a queen, but they aren't "normal". The princess is snobby, the knight's a scaredy-cat, the dragon has very bad allergies (so when he sneezes he catches stuff on fire), the king falls asleep way to much, and the queen is obsessed with chemistry. The read a book of fairy tales and realize they aren't your average fairy tale! They try and try to become normal, but it dosen't turn out well. it's going to be really funny! Go to http://ywp.nanowrimo.org/ and sign up if you haven't already!

Third place goes to.... Wow! It's a tie! sgsike1997 and cheezerX3! Good job! You guys will each get a virtual pet! pm me and tell me what you want. (Color, animal, etc)

This is sgsikes's entry: "My dream birthday party would be all about horses! We would go on trail rides take care of the horses. The games would be like, racing each other, and um... I dunno..... And for my birthday present I will get a beutiful black horse! I would invite my BFF and other friends and family members."

And here is cheezer's entry: "Hmmm, my dream Birthday would be traviling around the world, and visting all my friends from HSB ( You of course!) Hmmm, the games I would play would probably just be, Well, Site Seeing, and I would invite one of my friends to come with me, and we would just play around... Uh, for presents, I think the whole trip would be enough, but right now, maybe and Ipod, Guitar, NOtebooks and pencils :D"

Second place goes to... Jellybean14! Great job, Jay! You get a few funny icons I made! This was his entry: "Ok, My dream party would be, a HUGE trip to theatres around the world! I would se MANY production like Le Miz, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, Cats, Stomp, ect, etc…I would play in all of the productions and I would be in a huge Christian concert. I would take the trip on a cruse ship, and would have a party in the main dining hall, and then I would go to the master ballroom and dance with all my friends. Beautiful dresses and gowns, elegant suits and, lots of fun! Also, I probably would have a masquerade, which is a mask party. Everyone dresses up, like Halloween, but no scary, and COLORS, MASKS, RIBBONS, BOWS, BEAUTIFUL! I would just have my friends and others be the presents, they are all I really need for a party! I guess that’s all!"

And first place goes to... Rachel! She gets a trophy of any color she chooses! (pm me, Rachel, so I know what you want) "My dream birthday party is...a Broadway themed party! There will be music playing in the backround of all my favorite musicals (i.e., the little mermaid, wicked, the drowsy chaperone, beauty and the beast, cats, les miserables, the scarlet pimpernel, you're a good man charlie brown, mary poppins, into the woods, the lion king, bye bye birdie, annie, olliver, etc. etc.), and we play the game Broadway Charades, where you pick a piece of paper out of a hat that has a name of a musical/song from a musical in it, and act out the name. My present would be three tickets to any musical I choose!!!!!"

I don't want to leave out anybody, so the honorable mention goes to puppyprincess! She gets... Hmm.... She gets a code to the webkinz music video: I Gotta Lotta Soft Spots for You! Awesome!

WARNING! THIS ENTRY IS NOT OVER YET!

I'm just thinking of something else to say.

...

Okay, okay. That's enough. I'm done. Bye everyone!

Please vote on those polls! Well, Halloween is coming but our family dosen't do the witches and the ghosts and the creepy stuff. We do silly stuff for Halloween and we have a lot of silly traditions! For example, every year, we get a pumpkin and carve it. But not a normal Jack O' Lantern! We carve a silly animal. Last year we did a octopus, the year before we did a lantern fish, and the year before that we did a chicken! We're thinking about doing a penguin this year. And we do non-creepy costumes too. This year, Perrin, my five-year-old brother will be a penguin, (He's CRAZY for penguins), my other brother, Corbin will, if our grandmother dosen't send any costumes he likes, be a frog. I will be one of the cats in my favorite musical, Cats, and My other sisters (ages ten and three) will be a sheperd and a sheep. I know the title said two polls, but I'll do one more.

Vote please! By voting you will help our family with a very difficult question: What animal should we make our pumpkin into? If you vote Other, make your animal be funny! Okay, I think that's enough blabbering for one day! G'bye!

Only three, I know.

*awkward silence*

Okay....

Um...

Short post, don't you think?

Okay, I DESPERATELY need something interesting to blog about. Maybe a BRAND NEW WEBKINZ COMING OUT IN DECEMBER?

Say hello to the baby penguin! My little brother LOVES penguins. Too bad he dosen't do webkinz. Well, I guess that's a good enough post. Adios amigos!

That's the strawberry leopard, featured in the webkinz music video "I Gotta Lotta Soft Spots for You". Isn't it ADORABLE? I found out the item and food! The item is the strawberry Jammin' Jukebox.

The food is Strawberry Shortsteak.

I think it will come out in December or November. I can't wait! It's SO CUTE!!!!!!

What do you think this is? New webkinz coming out in December: The Webkinz Moose! Stay tuned for more!

I gotta go, so see you later! Bye!

This one is a limerick. Before you read the poem, read this: If oz. is pronounced "ounce", would boz. be "bounce" or proz. "Pronounce"? Okay, here's the poem!

A girl who wieghed many a oz.

Used language a dare not proz.

For a fellow unkind

Pulled her chair from behind,

Just to see (so he said) if she'd boz.

That's one of my favorites! Here's another:

There once was a man from Japan

Whose limericks never would scan;

When they said it was so,

He replied "Yes, I know, But I make a rule of always trying to get just as many words into the last line that I possibly can."

That one is very funny even though it breaks the limerick rules. I love that one too!

Okay, one more.

There was a young fellow who thought

Very little, but thought it a lot.

Then at last he knew

What he wanted to do

But before he could start, he forgot.

Goodbye! And don't forget to pray for my grandfather!

And here we have our webkinz museum, kind of a collection room. Sorry if it's a little fuzzy. I had to resize it.

That's Sapphire's Siamese restaurant. In the picture you can see Sparkle the pink pony, April the alley cat, Larry the leopard, and Biscuit the cocker spaniel.

This is the special halloween room. When Halloween is over, I'll sell all the stuff, but one of the things will go in the collection room.

And last but not least, the beach!

Bye for now!

Please vote and comment!

Uh, apoligies again to anyone in Texas. When it comes to football, I get competitive.

Ah ha! Finally thought of something to blog about! Sarah (or sgsikes1997) is having a pizza contest go to her blog! (Click HERE for her blog) I'm going to enter as soon as I'm done with this entry. Which would be... NOW!

I highlighted the new stuff in black. Also, new costumes in the Kinzstyle Outlet!

This is a scarecrow,

And this is a ninja. Oh, and there's a brand new room in the clubhouse!

You can cook and grab a snack here! Go over to Webkinz world and check it out!

How many webkinz do you have? I have 5 and my sister has 5 and we share a account, so I technically have 10.

Do you have any rare items? If so, how many? I have one rare item: the hot air balloon! It cost a lot of kinzcash, but it's worth it!

Do you have any exclusive items? If so, how many? *does a quick calculation* I think I have just the ambulance and the twister in a pot thingy.

How many Pet specific items do you have? Only three. (I might have, um, ACCIDENTLY sold the other seven. They give you 500 Kinzcash for it, give me a break!) I have the one for the leopard, the blue jay, and the cocker spaniel.

How many times a week do you do Webkinz? Seven. :D

Have you ever won a contest or the care award? Never. :(

How much kinzcash do you have? (Be prepared for a shock) 1700. Is that a lot or a little? I don't know. I've met webkinz owners with over 50000. And he's a GROWN UP! (He's my mom's friend on Facebook and when my kinzcash was stolen he offered to send me some high-priced things. THANK YOU, ARMYSARGE!!!!!!)

Okay, I tag: puppyprincess, Rachel, sgsikes1997, whodeycinci, and anyone else who reads this and does webkinz.

BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like it? I apoligize for fuzziness. If you'll notice, it's my profile picture too.

SO CUTE!!!!!!! Bye!

I can't wait for them to announce the stuff for the cheetah and strawberry leopard!
