TESLA

Ok, CHECK THIS OUT!!!!! I know that this probably isn't the best time to be drooling over shiny expensive sport cars, but hey, ya gotta dream big. THIS is the oh-so-cool electronic car, the TESLA. ( applause ) Pretty cool eh? ( just don't say anything about it to Herbie )

Babysitting

Well here I am, watching Mom pull out the driveway. Esther is mournfully watching her leave and at the same time yelling " say bye hubie!" ( say bye to Herbie ) and whining to herself. Naomi is eating a carrot in her highchair and putting it down every minuet or so to say " aaaaaawwwwwwwooooooooooooaaaaaa! " Mom just called on the cellphone with even more advice and Isabel is running around the house imitating a rooster. Ruby is on the computer. And so begins my day of babysitting.
P.S. If this is the last blog post you read, the kids killed me.

Expectations

Well it's safe to say that this week is just full of expectations. As of course you know tomorrow is election day ( AHH!! ) but I couldn't care less about that. The more important issue is the PB blaster I put in Herbie's engine, which will hopefully be running tomorrow. Then Tuesday I have a longer - term babysitting appointment ( just my sisters ) Then next week I have ( drum roll please) MY THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY!!!!!! yay! but today, I'm bored out of my wits. : )

MY LITTLE HERBIE

Well, I finally did it. I got it. No, seriously, HE'S HERE!!!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how darn cute he is! He's just the sweetest little thing. And, best yet, he's a 63'! just the year Herbie was! He's not a ragtop ( yet ) but you can install those. Also he's one of those super cool Wolfsburg editions! ( as if you knew what that meant ) Oh, he's soooooo adorable! And he's got an engine, too. We picked him up Saturday. When we first saw him, Mom said, " Now that's a car with personality!" I could go on all day about how cute he is, but now I'm gonna go drool over him some more.

Old Bug

You've all heard of the "new bug" right? Well wouldn't that mean that Herbie was an "old bug"? NO! Herbie happens to be a 1963 model and they get MUCH older than that. So how old DO they get? ( I'm writing this as if you actually care ) The first bug prototype was released to the public ( of Germany anyway ) in 1938. Did you know that some bugs were actually used in WWII? Dad says that's ridicules, to me it's just SICK! lol. Anyway here are some pics of the 38' model bug. Wierd huh?

Naomi

This is a blog post just for my youngest sis, Naomi. She is only eight months old ( now ) so I can't say what she'll be like when she's older. But right now I can say that she has reddish - brown hair, greenish - blue eyes and a happy, fun - loving personality. Mom says that she is the quietest baby we've had and that she is a lot like I was as a baby. She has a high - pitched - squeaky voice and likes to say "mama" and "bad bad bah!" She is very happy and thinks everything is a game. Here are my fave pics of her.

Busy,busy,busy!!!

Boy! has it been a long time since I blogged! Everybody must think I just disappeared all of a sudden! Well, FYI I'm still here! Probably some of the reason I haven't blogged in awhile is that me and my sisters and my Mom started a homeschool co - op. It's a whole lot of fun! I'm taking Drama ( aaaahhhhh!!!), creative writing and geography. Today I had to rehears a monologue ( a one - person play ) in front of m entire class. SSCCAARRYY!!! But it turned out alright. And for the first time in my life I have homework to turn in each week. UGG. Also, guess who got a cellphone and a skateboard. MMMEEEEEE!!!!! And I'm pretty good at the skateboard too. ( don't mean to brag ) The kids in my class are all really nice and I'm making a lot of friends. Well, just thought i'd let you know I'm still out there.
