Guess what?! Eeyore got a late-birthday present!! And it really was quite wonderful!
He got a tank of twenty-six fish! I tried to get some picture up here, but Blogger is acting up.
My favorite fish is Zoe. We need to get her a friend; she just hangs out by herself next to the heater.
Then there is Molly the Malli. Our Guppies, Two Fin, Puffer, and Goldie, love her! They won't hang out with any Malli but her!
Wait, big news, just in...
Molly the Malli is'nt a Malli. She's a female Guppie!!! The other three are male!!!
That explains a lot. ;O)
More big news in, this one is tear-wrenching. Zoe will probably die. She seems so sad, and her friend died less than a month ago. She stopped eating, and the lady we got her from says that they stop eating and generally a week later they die.
She is my favorite.

He still says "tray" like "tway" though
Ya'll'll just die of shock when you here this. My little, baby brother just turned eight! That means he is officially a big kid!
Sniffle.
A schedule of our morning:
7:30 Wake up with Eeyore screaming into my ear that it's Roo's birthday and time to wake up. 8:00 After dragging ourselves out of bed, we eat doughnuts for breakfast. Very substantial. Roo opens his present from us. A Clone Walker. He is a major Star Wars Lego fan!
Went to Bible Study. We have some friends there who brought Roo a present and cupcakes. So sweet!
Roo says:
"Umm, Grandma Gee Gee and Grandma Debbie and Gramppa Val, thank you for my birthday money!"
"Thank you for the Hail fighter droid and Spider Droid, friends!"
"Thank you, Auntie Missa, Uncle Howard and Kathewin (Katherine)!"
Sniffle.

I'd love to know what books y'all are reading! Or, at least, telling yourself you will sometime get around to reading, which you might do someday...
I've been tagged to do this thing. It seems like it would be fun.
Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the next three sentences
5. Link back to the person who tagged you
6. Tag five people
Alrighty, let me find a book...Aahaa, here we are!
The book happens to be the Two Princesses of Bammarre by Gail Carson Levine. You really need to check out some of her books, if you hav'nt already.
Anyway, page 123, fifth sentence.
Addie is on her quest. Rhys has come to give her some vital information on dragons.
"He crouched next to me."
Hmm, the suspence builds.
"They're solitary. They dislike other dragons and hate all other creatures."
Exciting, huh?
The person who tagged me does'nt actually know me. Her name is Mrs. Megan Fried Okra, and you can find her right over here at http://friedokra4me.blogspot.com/ Bonus: she's southern. And she lives now in the mid-west! Just thought that was a neat little trivia fact.
I will tag the people I know definitly read my blog. Grandma, Chrissy-Robin, and Bri. If you are happening to be in a nice mood today, and are reading my blog, go ahead and send me an email with this on it, okay? It takes like, five minutes, unless your not big on reading and spend a lot of time trying to find a book!
Puh-lease?!!

God-ly friends
Hi guys!
I just got done talking to one of my best friends on the phone. Chrissy-Robin and I talk a ton, email and visit each other for weeks at a time. We have known each other for five years, and we love each other like sisters. We are still the best of friends, even when I moved seven hours away and we only got to see each other three times that year.
But there are some things we just don't agree on. Like whether the word Applachian is pronounced Apple-a-chin or Apple-A-shin; or whether Primer is pronounced pri-mer or pry-mer. Sometimes, its on issues like if those pants go with that shirt, or whether purses and make-up are cool.
One of the issues we don't exactly agree on is religion. I don't believe that Jesus will come back in the same way she does, and she doesn't believe about the Sabbath the same way that I do. But either way, we are still best friends! We still both eat sandwiches, even if she likes ham and I like turkey. We still both like American Girls and Barbies. We both still like to lay in bed at night, talking tell we drift to sleep at sleep-overs.
The main thing is we both worship the same God, we both believe Jesus will come back, and that the only way to heaven is by accepting Him as your Savior, which we have both done! Thursday night we were talking on the phone. Somehow the subject turned to God and the end times. We both expressed our views on the subject, and then came to this conclusion: Jesus is coming back. Maybe one of us is right. Maybe one of us is wrong. Maybe we are both wrong on some points and both right on others. But we need to respect each others view points and know certain things about each other's beliefs on that subject. If we were missionaries in another country, that is exactly the skills we would need to survive! We would need to build friendships with the people we are witnessing to, then start to talk to them about our religion. But to do that we need to respect them!
That is what I got from our conversation. Maybe Chrissy-Robin got a different point. I would like to hear your view on the subject. I don't really know how to work the comments :o) but please send me an email with your belief about approaching other people, believers or non-believers, about the end-times, or any doctrinal thing. I am so glad I have friends I can talk with about God. Really, it is fun to debate on things like this!

Days in the Hundred-Acre-Wood
Today has been a pretty good day, though kind of gloomy outside. Everybodys school is done and we are just kind of relaxing.
Eeyore, Roo, and Piglet are playing cars on the floor. Its really wierd, even my dad gets into playing with toy cars! He went out and bought us a long plastic track to race on; we had this little board that was really hard to drive on before. We all sit on the floor for hours racing our cars and laughing like crazy!
I am the oldest kid. I live with my dad, "Rabbit", my mom, "Kanga", and my sister and brothers, "Piglet", "Eeyore", "Roo," (they named themselves, trust me!); and my darling (though kinda sick at the moment) pets, Bobby, Clifford, and Chippy. I am totally, definitly, "Pooh"! But the name Pooh is so...
Anyway, I wanted to start this blog to keep in touch with all of my friends, because we moved a year ago, and I have been really, really, really bad about writing. So maybe this will help me out a little.
It will also be a record for pictures and videos and such. This Autumn our computer crashed and with it went all of our pictures and videos from the last year!! So I will have to keep this blog updated with pictures. All of us in the Hundred-Acre-Wood and our friend, "Chrissy-Robin" (she's a girl, so we are going to have to change that slightly!) made movie remakes of Little Red Riding Hood and Repunzel, which were also on the computer. If we ever get them back, I will have to show them to you, they are hilarious!
So I hope you enjoyed this first post. I am still learning to write, so hopefully this will also be educational.
Oh, and you might be wondering about the blog name. A few months ago I decided that our family needed a business, and a hooligan care would be just the thing! My dad would be the CEO, my mom the COO, and we would be their first hooligans! The name I made up is kind of catchy, if I do say so myself. So I made it a blog! icanhazfriendz is just something I made up.
