Hey all. I'm putting this up because this movie interests me. Well, that and I like the counter. :)

And more of the extreme weirdness of my family. First we bring you Cat's styrofoam stakes. Now I give you her kickboxing bag:

We had a pretty good July Fourth.

For anyone who thought my family might be normal, watch this:

( Video under the cut! )

Build a Bear is running a contest where one sings the song, Talk About Love, makes a video of it, and uploads it. They will pick the best ten, then the public narrows it down to the top five. The top five will go to Hollywood to perform it live and the winner has the song recorded. Elizabeth decided to do one.

Here is Miss Elizabeth doing, Talk About Love:

I understand that schools now require kids to have access to the internet, a computer, a flash drive, and other such technology, but I'm kind of blinking that now they expect students to have movie making software. Samuel had to do a movie for his science class and this weekend Elizabeth came home and she had to make a video for a song that means something to her for her Speech class. Ouy! They are lucky I'm video making chick because I have the software and I know how to use it.

Anywhom, she chose Caleigh Peters's song, Reach. Here is her video:

Samuel had to do a project for his science class. It required him to make a ten minute science video with my movie making program about the formation of the earth. I thought it was good, he says it's not, you decide:

I really shouldn't play with these things:

While playing on Youtube and mutzing with my new editing program, I put this video together for my husband and I thought I'd run it past you. :)

So, today we went to Samuel's (my 14 year old) school because he was getting an award. Apparently it was a pretty impressive award and it came with a check and gift cards and a trophy.

Here is the video from that. I apologise for the poor quality.

I know it's been forever since I've posted here. It's been so crazy.  I will update, I promise.

But my purpose in writing tonight? My daughter, Elizabeth is going to college this fall, so we've been crazy filling out applications. She's finally getting interviews set up.  Guess where her first one is: YALE!

Yes, Yale likes her application and she has an interview Saturday at 2! Am I psyched? Oh yeah! :)

Ouy, has it been forever since I posted anything! But I have here some pictures. Recently Catharine and I went to Arizona to help my parents. (My father had to have triple bi-pass and we went until he could drive.) The trip home took us through Seattle, the home of my favourite Kristen, who met us at the airport.

Saturday we went to the National High Magnetic Field Lab's open house. Samuel was in Tampa for a math competition and Elizabeth wasn’t feeling well, so we only had the two little ones.

I know it's been forever since I posted anything. My apologies. :)

I just got a new camera and it has sound! So, here, I give you Catharine movies! I know there are a lot of them. I hope you like them. 

And in honor of my kids....

Here is how Anya spent her morning. Catharine danced around the living room like this.

Well, I suppose it's not so new. He's always been a big fan of the military. Well, we found a video put out by 3 Doors Down for the National Guard and he really loves it. I rather like the song, so I'm not complaining. It's called Citizen Soldier and I think it's a recruitment add for the National Guard. Here is it:

A friend sent me a link to this and I just had to do it. (Thanks Ann!)

I thought it was cute. (grin)

And now, onto our Halloween. In the early morning Cat and I finished up the outside of the house, finishing off the webs and adding a spider that we named Clyde.

The weird thing for this month is Anya’s insistence on getting into the kitchen trash bin. First she dug into it and dumped chicken juice all over herself. So, Samuel gave her a bath. (We couldn’t just let her stay all chicken germy.)

Okay, the big Catharine Halloween party. (Bramwell forgot to deliver his invites, so he’s getting a winter party. Elizabeth wants one in December, so this and Samuel’s were the only two we did this year.)

I am so far behind in this! Everything just got ahead of me. So, here I am catching everyone up on our Halloween activities.

On Thursday the 13th, Elizabeth and I went and volunteered at the Knott House Museum for a lecture they held.

Hey everyone. :) Sorry it’s taken me forever to get this up. We’ve been crazy busy. 

Okay, Samuel’s Halloween party.

So today, we put up the outside Halloween stuff.
