Pumpkin Carving

Tonight, we carve pumpkins! We got ours at Walmart, two big, and two a little smaller. Mine is a little lumpy and has a very green stem. Alison's stem is moldy, but still awesome, and is the other big one. We are carving in the living room, on the coffee table. Titanic is playing on TBS, so we've put it on our big screen, with the surround sound. First, we get the 'guts' out, then we draw, then carve. The orange guts are really gross and gunky and slippery. When I was about half way done, my mom brought out some of the pumpkin seeds for us to munch on. They're YUMMY!

That's my pumpkin. It took me a little bit, but I'm satisfied. I've decided to call him Spiky (because of his teeth)

This one's my dad's. He does this every year, kind of like a family tradition.

My Halloween Costume

I have finally figured out what I'm going to be for Halloween. I'm gonna be a spy. I'm gonna put my hair in low pony tails, and put on a black cap. I'm gonna put on a black t-shirt too, and black pants. And my sneakers are already black. I have some old spy stuff that fits onto a belt that I'm gonna wear. It's pretty awesome.

An Unusually Halarious Keyboarding Class

Four days until Halloween, and I still have no idea what I'm going to be. I was thinking like a baseball player or something. (I feel like all I talk about is Halloween. But what can I say? I'm obsessed!!!) but the only costume I can find for girl baseball players are pink. Ugh! That's frustrating.

Anyway, today we had a walk day, where you have to walk at least eight laps to get an A. Rachel and I mostly jogged and caught up with our friend Nick every once in a while.

During keyboarding, my teacher, Mrs. Mickel had to teach two classes at one time, because there's no substitute for keyboarding. So she would be walking into one classroom saying "Quiet down!" and wold start lecturing us about talking, then Rachel's class (the other class she was teaching) started talking, so she would go over there. Then, right when she left, our class would start talking again. So Mrs. Mickel was giving lectures here and there pretty much the whole 4th period. Talk about hilarious.

A pretty fun day, except for the fact that it was unusually hot in the health trailer.

Halloween and Braces, Not Exactly Like PB&J, But What Can You Do?

Today was October 26, 5 days until Halloween. You known what I found out today? One of my friends doesn't dress up for Halloween. It's like breaking the law!!! He says he just goes to a party at a friend's house instead. Mac's in my keyboarding and P.E. classes, both of my electives. Anyway, my best friend, Rachel, was supposed to be a squid, but decided not to. The bad thing about this is that she won't tell me what she's going to be. Oh well, I like surprises.

In other news, my sister got her braces off, and her teeth look really good. She said a guy in her school, who she calls New York Guy (because of his New York accent), said they were the straightest teeth he'd seen.

I'm really jealous because she's eating her oreo caramel apple right in front of me on the couch. Well, she's going to feel the exact same way when I'm eating mine. (I don't have braces yet though, but it will be a couple of years)

P.S.
Glee tonight!!! Yay!!!

Sam~Halloween Expert

Okay, so I've never blogged before, so I don't really know how it goes, but I guess I'll start with a name. I'm Sam, Samantha, really, but everyone calls me Sam *hints the title* I'm a soccer player, although all my friends say I look like a softball player (no idea where they got that). Another thing you should know a bout me, is that I'm obsessed with Halloween. Even when it's not October, I'm jumping out of closets and popping out behind bushes. One year at a Halloween party, I scared a whole room of people with my story about the girl with the scarf, whose head falls off if you untie it. When I told them all the end, they all screamed bloody murder.


Yeah... good times ;)


P.S.
Leave me comments on what you're being for Halloween!!!
