Vandalizing Pumpkins

Okay, you probably read the title and went 'What in the world?' But it's true! Some 9 year old kid (and probably a few others), came up to our porch, while we were home and smashed our (not to mention recently made) jack o' lanterns! That was yesterday, here is what our beautiful carved pumpkins looked like before 9 year olds came and destroyed them:



Don't they look great? The cat one is Viv's, the next one Ella's and then the last one is ours! Now this is what happened when people vandalize pumpkins:



Of course we had to pick the remains up from the side of the porch, so they wouldn't rot there. (You can see some guts by the bush, that's where they threw them.) The only question we have to ask out of this story is that, who (in this great world of ours!) would come up to someone's property, smash jack o' lanterns when the owners are home, and crush a 5 and 7 year old's heart? Huh?!? It's too bad because that was our first time, that we remember, carving pumpkins. And they did it right before Halloween! How rude.

Twin

I have a twin. Yup! And our names are both Madison! Her middle name is Roo, and mine is RyLea. Although she is in 7th grade and I am 6th we are a lot alike! Madison J. goes to my school and we are like best friends now! Plus she only lives a few blocks away, which is great because then I can ride my bike there a lot! Today I hung out at her house for only like 5-6 hours! We had a lot of fun... Well I have to go! Blog you later...

A Very Long and Unusual Conversation and Title!

Madison: Here we have a little conversation with my BFF Abbey!!!! Here you go:

Abbey: Hey this is Abbey saying hi!!!! TO the THURBERGANG!!! KEEP SWIMMING!!!!!!!!

Madison: Back to Madison, we have been BFF's since like when we were 8!! Oh, we go WAY back! We are being bugged by Abbey's little sister. (But I think she is SO cute!)

Abbey: If you know her like I do, SHE IS SO NOT CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :@ (screaming smiley face.)

Madison: Oh yes she is! We have been swimming buds for SO long, it gives me a headache just to think about it! Now I am getting all teary - eyed... Abbey take they keyboard for me, will you? (sniffle)

Abbey: OK two things. #1: WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS??? You were fine a few minutes ago! #2: When you have lived with her for five years she isn't cute...

Madison: For #1: I am so emotional... (eyeroll from Abbey) Yup, it's true! ("I'm so sure.") Can you get me a box of kleenex? Seriously no joke... We REALLLY have been swimming since we could spell the word 'Popsicle' (just kidding)! (Another eyeroll from Abbey -"I was reading and writing before kindergarten!!!") #2: I still think she is adorable!

Abbey: OK Madison, we should go now; Sophie is throwing punches for the computer. BYE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! :)

Madison: PEACE OUT! HA HA HA!

Roscoe's Fuzzy Blue Blanket

Roscoe has a fuzzy blue blanket that he loves to chew on, and I mean LOVES to chew on it. He will almost do anything for it. The reason why he chews on it because he tries to get out ALL of the knots. Roscoe is so cute with his blanket. Never forget that ROSCOE LOVES HIS BLANKET!!!
