The Importance of Being Lauren

This is another Halloween edition. Please enjoy......... Halloween is tomorrow!! And I'm really excited about it too. I will also be attending our neighborhood Halloween party. My favorite part of Halloween is dressing up. A couple years ago I was a Cowgirl that was kind of boring. Last year I didn't dress up. The only thing I did was wear a mask. This year is the best by far. I'm going to be,"The First Vampire Elvis impersonator ever." I absolutely love that title! Anyway at the party I had my wig on, and all the boys thought I was a boy. Okay would a boy wear flip flops under his costume? Or hang out with girls. I think not! I helped my sister Caterpillar play the games because it was hard for her to move. She was a doughnut. E veryone said that they wanted to eat her costume!! So what is your favorite costume?

This post is a Halloween edition please enjoy!!! About a week ago I was trying on my new Vampire cape in my room. I was hopping up and down and saying I am," Awesome Vampire Cape Woman. I will save you." I had to hold up my cape to keep it from dragging on the ground. Yes and me tripping on it. I heard Monkey bugging someone outside the door. She was being really bossy. Then the idea hit me. She walked into the living room so I opened the door and stood behind it. Then I called,"Oh Monkey I need you for a second." She came stomping in" Wha ."She wasn't able to finish her sentence because I jumped out from behind the door with a expression of a Vampire when it's hungry. My arms held up high so I wouldn't break my cape. That also kind of took a blow to the scary factor. Anyway she ran out screaming. My Dad opened the front door at that very moment. And I was on the floor laughing so hard I could hardly breath. She didn't bother anyone for the

At Girls camp my secret sister gave me really nice bubble bath mix, candy, and a magic towel . I had never even heard of a magic towel before . When I got home I put everything I got in my dresser, well hidden. Over the next couple months I kept finding the magic towel every were I turned. I had forgotten that I kept moving it. Duh! About a week ago I had finished everything required of me. I didn't want to read (that was a first for me), it was too hot outside to play, and I was just sitting on the floor staring at my new Leven Thumps book. The closet was open, and when I looked up I saw the unopened wonder of the magic towel . I called my sister Monkey in and said," Hey do you want to grow a towel with me." Apparently she was bored too. She bounced up and down excitedly and shouted,"Yes! I would love to grow a magic towel ." So I went to the sink and opened the chunk shaped as a pineapple, and dumped it in the warm water. It was like watching the grass grow!

This week at our Young women activity we each had to teach a five minute lesson. I was completely stuck. I didn't have any idea of what to do. So I kind of held it off until the day of the activity. On Wednesday I was in a rush to find something fun to teach. My mom told me not to be boring. I had no idea what the other girls would like. So I went to my closet and I found a paper with the poems I've written. Then it literally hit me. I could teach how to write poems that I loved learning and I bet they would too. I was so excited that I had something to teach. I skipped over to my cubby. Yes, I still skip. As I said it's so hard to avoid! I got even happier when I found the instruction sheet for Diamond poems. For everyones information, Diamond poems are my favorite poems ever. I asked my dad to print out copies for me. He had it done in a couple of minutes. Complete with lines to write their poems on. Thanks for doing that Dad! I was the last person to present my lesson,

I always have a hard time choosing things. When I get ice cream I always have to debate with myself. Strawberry or vanilla? Chocolate or fudge? Okay the last one kind of taste the same but anyway. I like gum so when I'm at the store I go with my brothers and sisters to the candy aisle. They go straight to the candy they want. But I stand in one place pondering. Spearmint gum or Bubblicious ? Skittles or M&Ms? So I'm always the last one to leave. I know it's really sad. Sometimes I can't decide what I want and I just leave without getting anything. I don't have this problem when I'm buying clothes, or taking tests that I have to choose the answers on. So I have no idea why this only happens when I really want candy. Does this happen to you?

One day we were all sitting on my moms bed watching videos on youtube. Earlier that day she was singing a Paul McCartney song. We didn't know what it was so she found a live performance clip. It was a pretty slow song suddenly the camera turned on this young woman. She was wearing a half shirt and she was shoulder shaking vigorously. We all started laughing. Maybe this girl got a bug in her shirt and she was trying to shake it out. But we will never know the truth. Well anyway ever since then my mom shoulder shakes to songs with a good beat. Sometimes when Paul McCartney is on the radio my mom starts shoulder shaking like the girl did. I told her that I would never shoulder shake. It started a couple days ago when it hit me. She had just put Superstar on my play list. Before I knew what was happening I was shoulder shaking . Now I do it without thinking. This is a very embarrassing thing for me. Now I want to know if anyone else does this. If you do join the club.

I have said many crazy things in my life. Most of them my mom has already blogged. So I'm going to blog this one. Besides it is my story. When we were at the pool Friday my mom wanted me to pull her around the pool. I did it, then I tried to pick her up in the water. I jokingly told her that I'll have to get married in a pool so my husband could carry me over the threshold. Please remember that I was joking. Well anyway this summer we spent a lot of it at the pool. So we saw the lifeguards frequently. One of them always had his Rubik cube with him, I thought it was interesting. So when I got home I said,"Mom I want an aerobics cube." Yes I thought it was an aerobics cube. I learned quickly that I was wrong. Because my mom started laughing and told me between laughs that its Rubik. Okay so now I get it. That's only a couple of the crazy things to have escaped my mind and come out of my mouth. So I don't feel alone on this matter please share some of the crazy

A couple days ago my sister and I were sitting in the living room, talking. She brought up how disgusting speedos are. My brother just happened to pass by at that very moment. He turned around and said, "Why are you talking about Superman panties?" My sister and I burst out laughing. We started teasing him about it too. Then about a week after that we went to the pool. We were all jumping in and screaming, when suddenly my brother dived in as he yelled "Look at me! I'm Wonder Woman!!!" He made a huge splash and came up choking because he swallowed water. My mom told him to make up his mind. Was he Superman or Wonder Woman? Well he's definitely not Wonder Woman, and he's totally not Superman. This poor boy doesn't know who he is. How would you help him on his journey to find his secret identity?

A couple years ago we were in the front yard fixing our garden. We had our dog Reagan out and he was running around. It was a beautiful day, and we were the only ones outside. Then a lady came around the corner with her big dog. She got all upset and told us, Please hold your dog until we pass. "Grover is really scared of other dogs!" So every time we saw her after that we would hide and yell, "Where's Grover?" The reaction was really funny! She would look at the sky, and all around her with her mouth open, and then we would fall down laughing. Then the fun ended after a year of that, because then she would just smile and wave. So we stopped, but on very special occasions we still do it. We see Grover on some days but usually it's just her. She doesn't even acknowledge us anymore. I will never do that to any one ever again. I don't think I would mind if anybody did that to me though.
