Two Words: Rebecca Wordsworth

Apparently I have more cousins then just goofy ol' Molly. One is Rebecca Wordworth, and another whom I'll meet this Christmas. Let me tell you, I fear for my life!
 

Everything started out fine yesterday. Kit and I played with our horses.

 "It's a werehorse!" Kit practically yells. She is completely over the moon (bad pun) about werewolves after my friend Frankie and I's discussion on our club blog. Kit wants to go hunting for werewolves. And she's been searching Mother's jewelry box for silver to melt into bullets. However, Mother is a cheap-o and doesn't have any real silver, which I think is very lucky for all the werewolves out there. Anyway, getting back on track.

In walks this girl, and she says: "Your mom said I could come up. I'm Rebecca. Which one of you is Emily?"
I said I was (what else could I do?) and she offered to shake my hand. Those perfect curls! Ugh! Why does everyone else have such pretty hair?

 I shook her hand. She blathered on about her life. We're going to be in the same class! We're cousins! And when our other cousin moves here we will have so much fun together! Somebody save me!

She starts looking around my room and points to my totally awesome poster.

 "Who's that?"
Are you kidding me? Of course I couldn't say that. "Joshua Jackson from Fringe," I say. "It's one of my favorite shows."
"Never heard of it."
Are you serious?

So Rebecca makes herself all pretty and comfy in my room. I just want to scream my lungs out. Don't get me wrong, she seems like a nice girl, but she is totally no Jocelyn or Jess. I need to be around people who like to get dirty and play toys. Her perfect hair and white shirt don't scream that to me. But maybe we will learn to tolerate each other. Or at least that is what I hoped until she got up to leave.
"I'll see you in school tomorrow," she says. And pets me on the head!

 

I can only hope my other cousin will not be this crazy. Anyone else have cousin horror stories to help me out?

 

Cake Making

I'm a little late in posting these pictures. We made the cake for Halloween. But better late than never, right?

Here we are all ready to start mixing. Jess, my sister Kit, Jocelyn, and myself.

"I got the eggs!" Jocelyn yelled.

"No!" I said. "You can't just throw them in the bowl. You have to crack them. We don't want shells in our cake!"

"I'll pour the milk in," Jess said once we got the egg crisis sorted out.

Frosting time! We decided Jess was the one most likely to do a fairly neat job.

"We can't forget the sprinkles!"

The finished project.

  

Yeah, I don't think any of us will be pursuing a career in baking. But we are good at making a mess!

Fast Food!

Yesterday Mother took Jocelyn, Jess, myself, and Kit out for dinner. Since Mother is so cheap (love you Mother!) we went to McDonald's.

Jocelyn and Kit had hamburgers, Jess had chicken nuggets, and I had a sausage/egg sandwich. I'm just that awesome.

 Of course I had fries too. Who goes out for fast food and doesn't have fries?

 

We also got ice cream! Which in hindsight I think was a bad idea. Kit was already pumped up with Halloween candy, and Jess must have been as well. This is what happened:

It could have been worse, I know. But we were in public! Sometimes I don't know what gets into Jess. She usually comes off as the sweet, innocent, quiet girl. Then she acts like one of my sisters.

Who's Excited for Halloween?

Me!
The J's are going to spend the night even though it's a school night. But we had to promise Mother we would not stay up too late and that we would get ready for school without throwing a hissy fit (remember that Jess!). I posted this pick on my other blog, but I'm going to post it here too because I can.

We made chocolate covered marshmallows for a Halloween goodie. They were so good we only had a few left to take pictures of!

Anyone going trick or treating? I live in the middle of nowhere, so I won't be, but Mother bought enough candy to make it more fun to stay home. Plus the J's and I get to help her make a cake! And we still get to dress up. I'm going as an FBI agent. Mother made me an awesome badge. JJ is going as a hippie and Jess as a colonial girl. That was the closest thing she could find to a princess costume. She's big with princesses right now.

Exploring with Jocelyn

 

So, the other week Jocelyn and I decided to see what we could find out in the wilderness. We found are favorite cave and decided we needed to get to the top to climb the tree.

 "We're almost to the top!" I told JJ.
"It's a long way down," JJ said.

 Maybe a bit of a drop.

 "I can make it," I said. "Hurry up, slowpoke."
Nothing makes JJ go faster than that. She climbed right over me and made it to the top first.

"Now how do we get down?"

New Blog!

As any of you readers from AGPT know, I have started a club for all things ghost, alien, and creepy stuff http://paranormaldollclub.blogspot.com/. Anyone can join the weekly discussion, which will be posted this Friday. Contact me there if you have any questions or PM Mother at AGPT.

My Dog Coco

It's been awhile since I've gotten to have an adventure outside, so I'm going to spread this out over a couple of blog posts. (So if you notice I'm wearing the same clothes in a bunch of pictures it's because it's the same day and not because I'm just that lazy. Which, honestly, I am, but that is another story).

To start, let me introduce one of my two Westie's. This is Coco. She's not quite as white as my other Westie, Coconut.

I'm wearing my awesome new t-shirt that Mother made it. Obviously Spike is not my dog's name. It's for my favorite character on Flashpoint. Which I am still obsessed with.

With a Westie you never know quite what kind of adventure you're going to get into. Coco loves to explore and often it is quite dangerous!

Luckily Coco got tired before I broke something.
