Halloween and Such

Getting in the hot air balloon

 

IN the hot air balloon...

Walkin' around in the balloon

Me and Haley have been working very hard on our costume this year. And it's awesome. Haley made our shirts (mine says Haley with an arrow pointing to Haley, Haley's says Abby with an arrow pointing to me) and we both worked viciously on the balloon. The balloons, the star of the show were the last thing to go on because they would deflate over night and that would NOT be good. But here's the thing that bugs me: When we went into this we thought our costume would be obvious; a hot air balloon. BUT, however some people did NOT KNOW what we are, ummm hello??? Have you NOT watched the Wizard of Oz??? OH well. We told Haley's mom when we were circling the parking lot (TRUNK-or-treat) around for the second round of candy and she said those people were crazy. Yes, yes they are. But Samantha's (my... sister)friend was Dorothy and we took a picture of the hot air balloon with her(we weren't in it at the time):

Dorothy and the balloon

Her name is Olivia. That's me in the corner there with the blue shirt and the little dude in the orange is Olivia's brother Jaxson. So that was fun. AND I have a new baby COUSIN!!!! Her name is Chloe Lynn Creer (my mum's side of the family). She is soooooooooooo cute!!! PLUS, I got another new book, it's by the same author of Percy Jackson and it's called The Lost Hero:

Lost Hero

It's really good!!! It's about Jason (named after the Greek hero Jason-son of Zeus-god of the gods and weather pretty much)Piper(daughter of Aphrodite, goddess of love beauty all that mushy stuff)and Leo(son of Hephaestus, god of fire and tools and building stuff). They are called on a quest to rescue Hera; queen of the gods and Zeus's wife from a prison. First (which is the part I'm at) Piper, Jason, and Leo have to go find the god of the North Wind, Boreas, in Quebec, Canada. They meet his two sons Lethes and Cal, and Boreas' one daughter, Khione. That's pretty much where I'm at!!! Oh well. Happy Halloween!!!!

My Costume

So, me and my friend Haley are being a Hot Air Balloon this year. Yes. A hot air balloon. It's been really fun to make so far and it's going to be AWESOME when it's done. It's supposed to look like this when it's done:

Ours is going to look similar to that one. We doubled the box so we could both fit in and we kept the top part about the same size. We still need to add balloons and decorate the day before (today) the party!  I will definitely post pictures!!! It's almost done and it's looking GREAT!! Me and Haley are going to have matching t-shirts and yeah. Okay, so if the hot air balloon's doubled from the picture, I'll be standing on the left, and Haley will be in the hot air balloon on the right. So like this:

Abby                         L                           Haley

                                  i

                                  n

                                                                   e

                                  of

                                  B

                                  o

                                  x

By the way, the line of box thing is where the two boxes are separated. Then there's this piece of cardboard that's like the top of the balloon and that's where we'll attach HELIUM BALLOONS. Helium is very important. And, if your going to make this AWESOME costume (try to look as AWESOME as me and Haley in it) you need LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF...... DUCT TAPE! That's all I have to say. The pictures will come this week/weekend because the PARTAY is tomorrow night!

New Books

I am known to read a number of books at the same time. Yeah, it's a little weird, but I can manage! Here are some of the books I'm reading right now and I'm about 10-15 pages into each, so I'll give a summary of each as best I can. Here:

Maximum Ride is about Maximum Ride and her "family". They're not really her family because they are all accidents. Scientists wanted to make a mutated type-thing and Maximum and others appear. They can fly. And yeah. That's kind of all I get into, except Maximum's sister gets taken by these werewolf (it's not described as Taylor Lautner- the complete opposite actually). So that's a book.

Bree Tanner is a vampire (the evil ones, but she's not that evil) that shows up in Eclipse, the third book of the Twilight saga. The story begins when her, a vampire named Diego, and some other vampires go hunting. They drink human's blood and everything. Disgusting, yes. Then Diego and Bree get annoyed by the other two vampires and head to the mall to get Bree a book and Diego a CD. Finally they go back to where Reilly, the head vampire,  and the other vampires who didn't go hunting live. They see it's destroyed so they go to a cave, underwater, and wait until the sun is gone. That's all I can give for this one.

I actually finished this one. The book is in four parts: Walk, jog, lope, and gallop. Maya lives with her grandmother and she is very strict. Grandmother allows no fun, no nothing. Maya takes swimming lessons for safety, because her grandmother thought she would drown in the bathtub, or IN A PUDDLE. But one morning, her grandmother was acting strangely and happened to have a stroke. She died. So, Maya is sent to her other grandfather, Moose. He lives in Wyoming with his dog, Golly, and Maya's Uncle Fig. Aunt Vi and Maya's cousin Payton live on a camp where Maya goes a couple days after she arrives at Moose and Fig's place. Soon Maya is on a horse learning how to ride. But one day she sees Artemisia, her mother's old horse wandering around. Aunt Vi, Payton, Moose, and Fig are gone, but she decides to try to get Artemisia back to the camp. While she's with Artemisia, they are in the middle of an earthquake. Maya brakes her leg and a mountain lion soon comes. Artemisia protects herself and Maya though. Soon Maya and Artemisia wander back towards the camp and hear Aunt vi's guitar and find Payton, Moose, Fig, and Aunt Vi. They get her back to the camp with a cast, and while it heals she stays with Moose and Fig. Finally she goes back to the camp and lets Artemisia go back to the wild. she belongs there.

THE END.
