Nice save Poppy!

Yesterday was Poppy's birthday so we called to wish him Happy Birthday. Brecca happened to ask Poppy how old he was and Poppy said 77. He then adds "I bet you can count that high." She says "I can count to 100 - wanna hear. 1, 2, 3, 4......" Being the quick thinker that Popster is, he says "Why don't you wait until the next time that your out here and then you can count for me in person." Apparently, Popster wasn't up to hearing a 6 yr. old count to 100 over the phone! Honestly, who can blame him!

Witches and Ghosts

One night last week Braylee came downstairs after being put to bed. She tells Nate and I that Brecca keeps trying to scare her by laughing like a witch. Brecca is not far behind so I ask her "Brecca is that true?" "Yeah," she says. I asked her what a witches laugh sounded like and she does an almost exact imitation of the witch on the Wizard of Oz. We told her no more laughing like a witch and trying to scare Bray and to get back up in bed.

Last night, Braylee comes downstairs once again. This time Braylee says "Mom, Brecca is pretending to be a ghost and saying in a scary voice "I am a ghost. Braylee, you are so pretty and I want to marry you." I couldn't help myself! I had to laugh a little at that one!

Just a quick, funny story about voting. Brecca came home from school on Tuesday and informed us that a boy in her class said his mom voted for Barack Obama. I asked her if she knew who else was running and she said "Yeah, John McCain." (Duh!) I asked her who she was going to vote for and she said "Well, I don't really know either of them and I don't like to vote for people I don't know, so I'm not going to vote for anybody!" :)

Trick or Treat

Spook Parade

Brecca was in the Spook Parade Thursday night. Well, I am not actually sure you could say she was in it. Let's just say she walked down Main Street hiding behind Nathan's leg the entire time! we tried to explain to her that Hannah Montana would not be shy about being in a parade but she wasn't buying it! She wouldn't even let us take her picture as she walked by! She says she doesn't know if she will be in it next year - it depends on if she is scared or not! She did have quite a fan club there though watching her parade debut!
