At the world premiere of "Superheroes 2."And Aislinn and Janelle playing with my camera.
Going mini golfing in a couple hours, I'll try to remember my camera so I can take more pictures for you guys.

The reason the Parishes are valued members of the church choirs.
I think that's the last time I'm using Photobucket for video, it's kinda a pain. Here's another one, from about a month ago, I think, of Wesley.
I have one more bit of video, but I haven't loaded it yet and I have lots to do before church in ... less than an hour, so as you see I don't have time to get it up before then.
We're finally in the new building for orchestra, and in some opinions, well, when the directions to the room for the viola sectional are "Across the bridge, past the mirrored wall and into the pit of darkness", you know you're in for some interesting architecture. Last week (or was it the week before ...?) Shannon had some fun with my camera during break.
^Actually, I think I was supposed to delete this one ... oops.^
^ Shannon and Laura v
I have a few more - none from weightlifting, they're on the other computer and that one doesn't like people right now, and I've already deleted them off my camera - but that will have to wait until this afternoon. And before you come after me with pitchforks and torches, look over to the left of the screen. See all the names under "About Us"? How many are there? That's right, five. Which tells us what? That there are four other people who are perfectly able to post things for you guys to come look at.
Gotta go, twenty minutes until we leave for church ... drat.

McKenna

One Of Those "You Had To be There" Stories.
So on Monday Shannon, Wesley and I made milkshakes. Kind and caring older siblings that we are, we decided to hide that fact from Aislinn and Janelle, simply so that we wouldn't have to clean up the mess. And have some older sibling "bonding time". Right after we put everything away, just as we were beginning to enjoy our tall glasses of fudgy yumness, we heard Aislinn and Janelle coming down the stairs.
There was only one course of action we could possibly take.
We hid.
In the bathroom.
Those of you who have been to our house have probably seen the bathroom off the kitchen. The red one. The really really small one.
There we were, Wesley, Shannon, three milkshakes and myself, hiding in a small bathroom. We decided that in the case anyone should knock on the door, Wesley would be the one in the bathroom.
It couldn't possibly get any worse.
"Hey, Aislinn," we heard Janelle call from the other side of the door. "I set your cards up, come on and play!"
Which of course meant that we couldn't sneak out. They were playing rummy three feet away.
It couldn't possibly get any worse.
Wesley had an idea. "Hey, Janelle, did you put my laptop away?"
Shannon had a 'better' idea. "Hey, Janelle, can you ... Oh."
Dense as Ais and Nell can sometimes be, they suspected that something was not quite right.
That would be the point when Mom walked in the door, wondering why there was an alarming amount of laughter coming from the bathroom. Realizing that we couldn't hide any longer, we walked out to the sound of complaints regarding the fact we were holding milkshakes.
You really did have to be there. But it's funny anyway, right? Right?
Humph.

A Funny Conversation
Shannon: Missa never had to wear a wrist wrap.
Wesley: Had? You make it seem like she died.
Riley: Missa was really good at weightlifting.
Wesley: May she rest in peace!

McKenna and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
This morning I woke up at seven o'clock.
Nope, that's inaccurate. Let me start again.
This morning I was awakened by Aislinn handing me the phone so I could read a text Shannon sent me reminding me to do something I was going to do anyway. Then I decided it was far too early to be awake, and set the alarm for eight o'clock.
Unfortunately, the alarm failed to go off, so I didn't wake up until nine o'clock. I practised a bit, because I have lessons in about an hour (although I wasn't actually practising anything I need for my lesson, I was practising this really awesome Irish fiddling song. I was relearning what I learned yesterday because my fingers decided to forget the notes.), then went to find some food. I tried a bowl of Rice Krispies, but they were simply unappetizing. I then remembered that I had to collect the library books that were due today, only then to find out that one of them is missing, and that they were in fact due last Friday.
I also get to pay the fines myself. Should come to something around five dollars.
After I collected the books, I went to grab a poptart to bring with me, because I won't get lunch until after two o'clock, but apparently my younger siblings ate them all, because there were none left. There weren't very many other options, but I thought I would have a hot dog, because that sounded vaguely appetizing, but when I went to get a hot dog bun, I noticed that they were slightly greener than they ought to be. We'd been eating the new buns, and let the old buns sit in the drawer for a bit too long.
So I had a hot dog without a bun. I went upstairs to get my stuff together and got mascara in my eye, couldn't find my enormous silver earrings so I had to wear the enormous white ones instead, had to pack up Shannon's violin, couldn't find my library card, and tipped my stand over. The stand that has - well, had - all of my quartet music on it.
I also had a sore throat, which doesn't work well for starting voice lessons.
Clearly, these are not fun times.
Which reminds me. Orchestra started Wednesday night. I switched sections, so I'm now a violist. Found out I can't really sightread alto clef. Choir started last night, which was fun because we finally got Riley to come, and we read through the first half of my cantata. It looks like the performance will be December 7.
I will be posting pictures from the weightlifting meet in Springfield later today, as well as video of some sort. Maybe.
Oh, and Riley and WESLEY's video didn't win anything.
Cheers,
McKenna

Random and Funny Things, Part IX
It's so much more funner.
Riley
Are you really seriously having doubting?
Riley
Shannon: What is that?! Is that a cow?
Wesley: That would be a dog.
They're scared of the bed under ... the monster.
Wesley
Aw, I'm so cute, just look at me!
Aislinn
I'm so cute it's not even funny.
Wesley (talking about himself as a three year old. Except he was in the present tense. Which is even funny.)
