And now, back to the post.

Help! I can't get out of this font! I guess I'll have to type the rest of the post in it!
Unless I can think of something while in the bathroom.
One second, please...
...
OK. I'm done using the toilet. I didn't come up with any ideas of how to get this font off except to click the button over and over.
1.Didn't work.
2. Didn't work.

3. Sorry, more technical difficulties! It didn't work.

So let's just continue.....

Despite my computer's craziness...

I haven't been blogging lately because I have the dreaded Writer's Block. Even the stuff that might be interesting to you suddenly isn't to me! Here's what suddenly became boring before I blogged (Aak! Too many B's!):
1. I've been doing a report on sea stars.
2.I'm entering a poster about drug and alcohol abuse into our school contest.
3. Our class is having a contest to see who can think of the most baby names.
4. E and N beat S and L in our fake World Series baseball tournament at recess.
5. I just turned our Cousin Studios videos into 8 and 9 minute movies on Imovie.
6. Our entire trip to Maryland just got stuck in my sketchbook.
7. Everything else!
Darn, now I have to go downstairs and eat. Please be patient......
...
I'm back from breakfast.
So anyways, today I knew the only way I was going to be able to post today was if I copied something from one of the dusty journals in my closet. Mom says I have more than a college graduate! I thought I'd share a poem with you from my 3rd grade journal called Wind's Blow.

Wind's Blow
The wind blows when the
clothes are wet. It blows
the leaves of trees off
and sometimes branches.We
have to hold onProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

o
our hats.
Sometimes the wind is
angry and it's a
tornado! The trees fall
down and houses rip
apart. The plants and animals
are scared until the
storm's over.
The kids are wearing jackets
and the air is getting
chilly. The forecast
says it's going to rain
down
down
down
all because
of the
wind.

Well, that post was more than I expected.....

Contest!

I am posting a riddle on my blog.

Extreme Makeover: Desk Edition

My friends and I enjoy building "Eraser Lands" at school. We take our erasers, draw faces on them, and build a world for them in our desks out of bottle caps, desk tools, and paper accessories, including paper punch pets and food. But sometimes, it gets our desks just a tad bit messy! Recently, though, I looked in a friend's desk and noticed her awesome world but messy desk. But we've changed that!We put all her school supplies on one side so she has a giant area for her to build her world in. She now has a hotel with a TV\Laptop area, little cafe, and sleeping zone with a chandelier made out of a paper clip and beads! You can even give her erasers at the end of the day for an "overnight" and then she'll return them!Someone else is getting a rock and roll arena in their desk next. I can't wait to get started!
Now I will put the first photo ever on my blog, of some past erasers.....
...
Updated: The photos cannot download on my computer. ARGH! Sigh...

Well, anyways,
BLOG YA LATER!

Movie Madness!

Here is one of the videos we shot at the W house. This one's called Zip line International!
(S is working the controls, I'm holding the camera and narrating.)

I'm Back!!!!

Finally- back from Maryland! I shall now present to you the top 3 Maryland activities:
1. MOVIE MAKING. While we were in Maryland, we made two new movie series called The Great Webkinz Camp-Out and Classroom Girls. We also shot several little videos including, but not limited to: The Ship Takes Off, The Thing, Cameras, Polly World Fashion Shoot, Mr. Jones.
2. FORT BUILDING. We built 2 tents. The one M slept in had a secret tunnel and plenty of storage, and L and I's had an electronics shelf and a "closet". On the last night, we all got together and had a sleepover in S's room!
3. SPYING. We did a lot of spying in the W house, but it wasn't for revenge, it was just for fun. L and M stayed hidden upstairs in our forts while S and I went downstairs to shoot pictures of evidence. We used walkie-talkies, too!
Some other activities we did were playing in the computer, playing with dolls, reading graphic novels, having sleepovers, going to church, and celebrating L's 11th birthday!
As soon as I get them downloaded, I'll be sharing some videos with you!
What did YOU do this weekend?

An Update

There are so many things to blog about, I think I need to use this post to cover them all!
1. The Playground Olympics. Here are the explanations for our Mystery Games:
Snakepole is a game in which you twist around poles like snakes. Crash into your competitors and you are eliminated!
Hoop Roll is a game where you must roll the hoop to the other team. If they miss it, they earn a miss. Whoever has less misses at the end of the game wins!
Jump Roping was just a simple game of who can go the longest without tripping up on the rope.
Running was a simple race with a few obstacles.
2. This weekend, Mom, my sister and I went to the pumpkin patch and picked out five pumpkins in their enormous field, which had scattered scarecrows and old sheds surrounding it. Then we headed back to their little shop and bought 4 more. We got a good deal on them, too: they were only 20.00 all together! Next we went to Cici's Pizza and had a pizza lunch before driving to our church to set up for Mom's bell choir. I like spending weekends with family.
3. I'm visiting my cousins in Maryland for L's birthday! I made her a neat gift and card (but I won't drop any hints about it in case my aunt is visiting the blog). I also am bringing my video camera so S and I can do some serious shooting. He enjoys making Lego Star Wars movies. Check out his blog, Wii Little Movies! And there is no need to worry about bringing princess dolls for M to play with with the amount they have at their house....

What are YOU doing?

The Playground Olympics

During recess, a group of girls and I are doing The Playground Olympics!

L: Gold Medal in Snakepole, Silver Medal in Hoop Roll, Bronze Medal in Jump roping, Silver Medal in Running.
J: Silver in Snakepole, Silver in Hoop Roll.
Soso: Silver in Hoop roll, Silver in Jump roping.
M: Silver in Hoop Roll.
CJ (me) : Silver in Hoop Roll, Gold in Jump roping, Gold in Running.

Can you guess what these crazy events are? Leave me a comment guessing what they are and we will reveal the guesses (and answers) in the next post!

Grandparent Visit

My grandparents came for a visit! The were stopping at our house for a day after driving to Tennessee for a vacation. While they were at our house, we went out to a pizza parlor for dinner and looked at photos of their trip to Elvis's house. Then we looked at videos from my cousin's film company, Cousin Studios. I'm going to share one of our many advertisements.
Hey! That makes this post my first video post! YAY!
Anyways, here's the ad:



This ad is for an insurance company called Jonson and Jonson. You might have to turn the volume up to hear my husky voice, and the "insurance agent" (it's really my cousin J) isn't as serious as you'd think......

It Must Be Fall....

When the posts are longer,
the wind is stronger.
When the posts begin to lengthen,
the cold begins to strengthen.
And when blogs are awesome,
there's not a single blossom.
