trunk or treat preporations


OK, since the trunk or treat at the church is in two weeks we needed to start on the decorations and the costumes. A trunk or treat is like normal trick or treating , except its going around a designated parking lot and getting candy from all the cars (the trunks are decorated with a theme) that are parked there. Since my cousin Nathan wants to go as WALL-E I will need to do a wall-e themed trunk decoration.
Since we will be going with our truck, I'm going to put up cardboard pieces panted to look like WALL-E, EVE, and the AXIOM, as well as a bunch of buildings.
its supposed to look like a scene from the movie. I will put a picture of the decorations on the blog about us going to the trunk or treat. We also need to make costumes for Nathan, Anna, me and possibly Tomas.
As I said before Nathan wants to go as WALL-E, so I'll need to make a box outfit for the main part of him. Because Nathan's going as WALL-E Anna wants to go as EVE. to do that, we need a piece of cardboard to go in front of her so there is the shape of EVE. She will also need to dress all in white including one glove (the other one will be black, like EVE's blaster arm). Tomas wants to go as Spongebob even though aunt Rebbecca ready has a pirate costume and decorations, if he does go as Spongebob we will need a piece of cardboard for in front and in back to show Spongebobs face.
As for me, I'm hoping to go in my ninja outfit if I can find another black glove. It has long sleeve dark blue shirt, black sweatpants, a black hat, black gloves, and a dark blue neck girder (a neck girder is like a scarf that's already connected to itself in a tube like shape). I've also got a couple of weapons that might work as a show off piece of the idea.

dogsitting

Hi all! So far my cold is feeling a lot better, its down to just a sneeze and occasional cough.

Since mom, me and Anna need to have a dog to pet while we are here in grey sky Ohio we signed up to be a 2 week foster family for the humane society. Foster families get dogs that have just been brought in. The humane society gives them shots and places them with a foster family for a two week quarantine period to make sure that the dogs didn't catch anything at an earlier time. At the moment we have two border collie puppies that are brother and sister. We named the girl Precious and the boy Puffles. Puffles seems to have decided that he really likes me because he comes up to me more than pretty much the rest of the family. Precious, on the other hand doesn't seem to have a favorite person...

They are also fighting to see who is dominant. Puffles is bigger but doesn't seem to be picking the fights so we think that he was dominant before he came. Puffles was brought a week later than Precious so Precious probably feels that she should be the boss here, and is the one that picks the fights.

me, a victim!?!?!?!?


OK, last weekend my mom made me go be a victim (oops, a "patient") for the Boston mills, Brandywine ski patrol refresher test. I had a broken wrist,a broken forearm, abrasions (scrapes) to the palms, and frostbitten fingers. And I had to have that six times for six different groups to fix. Most of them put a support of some type on both broken parts, and then placed a pad of some sort on the abrasions, as well as bundling the frostbitten fingers with something to keep them from getting colder. Now that's about all, but first let me make this clear that i didn't really have those injuries, I had to act them out though.

I've had a cold for about the past week, but it's getting better,and i was doing OK at the refresher. I was really stiff the next day around my upper legs and under my arms though.
