Did you know sneezing is hysterical?

And easily embarrassed.

Especially in front of her boyfriend.

Cool, huh?

These shoes are awesome.  Know why? My biggest sister made them for me.  They’re the first thing she ever knit using double-pointed needles.  She used leftover yarn from Mommy’s “Fair Isle” Harris Tweed socks, and had the pattern memorized by the time she got to bootie #2.

Technical specs:

• Yarn: Sirdar Crofter DK Yarn
  • Plaid Colorway
• Needles: US Size 2 bamboo DPNs
• Pattern: Christine’s stay-on baby booties
• New skills: knitting with DPNs!

I took my weekly shower this morning. What? I’m a baby, it’s not like I’m out rolling around in the mud all day.

Hi, Mommy!

My big sister took two showers today. One when she got up this morning. And one more, after watching 10 Things I Hate About You, specifically this scene.

Tempera paint is washable, right?

Nick (the boyfriend) went as Phantom of the Opera for Halloween after watching that movie with Kaity. Today they ruined their clothes with paint-filled water balloons. Looks like fun! But…Mommy says they’re not allowed to watch Romeo & Juliette together.

We had our pictures taken today in preparation for the holidays.  They turned out pretty good.

Me!

That’s right, I have a blog now! Which means that you should all go and read it (Talking to you Nana and Poopah). Here’s the link: Cimmerian Shade

I’m three weeks old today.  To celebrate, we went to see what Kaity’s been working so hard on these last two weeks.  All those car rides had to be good for something.

I missed most of it.  It was naptime (again).  But the band showed off their newly honed marching skills and some silly exercises they do to warm up.

They also performed the first part of their halftime show, with the drumline front and center.

And the drumline is the coolest, because they get to play more.

Afterwards, we got to meet Kaity’s “big,” an upperclassman who left little gifts for her this week.  Her name is Tyffany and she plays clarinet.

The opening lines of the book sum up what the story is about. “You killed me. You suck!” This is a vampire romance about Tommy and Jody, two vampires in love. The first few nights of Tommy’s existence they have to help him find something or someone to eat, and if that turns out to be a giant cat then why not? Eventually they end up looking for a minion and they find a goth girl named Abby Normal. She helps them move into a new apartment and eventually she makes sure that their love lasts forever by saving both of them from super evil vamp (Elijah). All in all I thought that it was a good book if you could get past the jumping from one character’s perspective to another, the cursing, and well, the inappropriate humor. This book is good for a few laughs.
