Got Green?

Usually I don’t have anything to post about, but today I actually have a couple of somethings to post about!!

First (and most recent): Lola (my little dog) was sniffing around some bushes and got her ear caught in some thorns. She just got a little slit in her ear, nothing major, but it bled like CRAZY. She looked like she had just about lost her head or something like that. I guess that’s not really the type of thing that people like to read about, huh? So, I’ll talk about….something different!! Umm, let’s see, I had something else to write about, I just know I did!!! I can’t think of it!! It’s DRIVING ME CRAZY!! ARGH!! Ooooh!! I just remembered!! It’s St. Patrick’s Day today!! So, if anyone in your family isn’t wearing green, run up and pinch ’em before they can change clothes. Unless of course the un-green person is Lana and she is standing by the sink and she’ll spray you with freezing cold water if you pinch her. But if it’s not Lana, then it’s probably semi-safe to go ahead and pinch them. ;P

I wrote a poem about wind the other day and Lana said it was good. I’m not sure if I really like it or not.
I know, I know, you guys are just dying to read it aren’t you? Hmmm, show them or not show them? Gotta know. I guess I’ll show you.
I am the wind
I give the trees a voice
I move the air under a bird’s wings
I bring the clouds that hide the sun
And then I take them away again
I am a gentle breeze
I am a powerful storm
I make the waves in the ocean
I make buildings crumble and fall
I lift children’s kites
I awaken men’s dreams
I am the wind
I’m still not sure if I like it or not. But if Lana says it’s good I guess it must be at least mediocre.
I had something else to post about, but it left me. Oh yeah, I got it again.
Easter is this Sunday!! I think we’re going to my Granny’s house, but I’m not 100% sure about that. And I think that we are going to the Easter program at the Hobbs’s church; we’ve gone every year since we've known them.
The other day, Lana told me about “Enchanted”. I think that it’s some fairy-tale movie gone wrong or something like that, but I don’t know (it looks funny). Anyways, it’s coming out tomorrow, so we’ll probably rent it at some point this week.

I'm well!!

HAPPY BELATED POST!! Meaning, I meant to write a post the day after Christmas. But, due to circumstances beyond my control (being sickness), it was postponed to later date (being today). Christmas was about as good as it could be, being sick like I was.

Lana and I gave Lily-Pie a baby doll that she loves.

T.J. and I bought some foam dart shotguns, which are pretty sweet, for Jeremiah and Josiah.

T.J., Lana, and I gave Brandon a video camera with a green–screen and editing software (I hope it works;p).

I gave Lana While you were sleeping, an old family favorite (it’s kinda sad, this is most likely her last Christmas with our family).

Lana, Brandon, and I bought T.J. an espresso maker, which is pretty cool (if you like espresso).

I bought my mom a 2 gigabyte memory card for the new camera my dad bought her.

For my dad - Lana, T.J., and I got my dad a huge scope for his little .22 rifle (it’s gonna be awesome when we get it zeroed in).

Okay, other than telling you all that I got, I will just tell you the biggest, the heaviest and the noisiest (oh yes, it makes noise) present that I got. I guess I might as well show you. This is Donor, my Christmas puppy.

Now before any confusion arises, I have had this dog for awhile. But if you will notice, he is sitting on carpet inside the house!! Now that you understand what the present was, please understand the sacrifice that it was. Our family of nine lives in a tiny house that is less than 1000 sq ft. so adding another dog is one thing, adding Donor is another. Donor is a hound/lab mix - very big and energetic. Here’s a picture of Donor next to Lola, my little dog (Lola is no tiny dog, she stands 14in. at the shoulders)

Now you should fully appreciate (not just understand) Donor, my Christmas puppy.Thanks mom and dad, I love you.
