Hats!

We made beautiful hats out of paper bags at a birthday party last week. I love my hat.

Sony Wonder Technology Lab

In New York City, we visited the Sony Wonder Technology Lab. There were lots of cool things to see and do there. One of our favorites was this screen. Images of a stream of little green pebbles fell down the screen, and when our shadows fell on the screen, we could sort of catch the pebbles.

Jenna's Door Sign

Bethany had a sign on her door that says "Keep Out," so I made my own little sign for my bedroom door.

My Thanksgiving Turkey

My class made Thanksgiving turkeys today. It is made out of a nut, googly eyes and feathers. Madeline gave us the pinecone. She is my friend at school. 

I got to pick my own feathers and I used all the ones that were there. I had fun doing it. The turkey is on my dresser now.

Pirate Book Cover

Here's an advance look at the cover for the new Boomer Sisters book. It'll be ready in time for Christmas!

Election Day at the Polling Place!

Our mom worked at the local polling place yesterday. She was an Election Official!

We got to pretend to be Election Officials too! That's us, sitting behing the Official Voting Table for the 31st Precinct with Mommy's new Election Official friends.

Mommy showed us how to use the computerized voting machines. It was awesome.

And then we pretended to vote on the computer. Mr. Tom showed us a real card to use with the machine, but Mommy didn't let us actually vote.

And then we pretended to vote again, this time in the booth for paper ballots, even though we didn't actually have ballots.

It was so much fun! Just 12 more years before Bethany can vote for real, and 16 more years for Jenna!

Election Day Eve

I'm so excited for election day to come. I love day care at my school, and since Mommy is going to be working the polls I get to stay for day care for a while until Daddy comes to get me. My teacher Miss Stephanie also wants to be a poll worker.

Halloween Costumes

We had a great time trick-or-treating tonight. Our costumes came from our great-aunt Bonnie - she and her sister wore them when they were little. Every house we went to said we were so cute.

Jenna's Tooth Pulling!!!!

Hi!

I pulled my own tooth because it was loose. It felt really good and it didn't hurt at all. Mommy tried to pull it but it hurt when she did it. It's really surprising how it didn't hurt when I did it. Maybe it was just a fairy's magic.

The Tooth Fairy came, but it was weird. At first, the coin wasn't there in the morning when I got up. But later, when I showed Daddy that the tooth fairy didn't come, it was there. Maybe I was up before she planned. Maybe she didn't know it was a Sunday morning. 

The Tooth Fairy gave me a new New York City coin [Daddy's note: one of those new $1 coins with the Statue of Liberty on it]. It is very pretty and its so cool.

Mimi and Pop Pop were here when I pulled my tooth and they were excited too. I can't wait until 8 weeks are over. Then Christmas is going to be here. Whoo-hoo!

Jenna's Artwork

This is a picture of me and Beth, Murphy and Zoe and lots of pots of gold. We are having a big party because we found lots of pots of gold. A bird and two butterflies are flying in the sky. 

I like this drawing because it's very very pretty and has lots of artwork in it.

Jenna's Words of Wisdom

"When you're flying backwards, it's hard to tell where you're going to crash, especially if you're out of control."

- Overheard from the back seat of the car as Daddy was driving Jenna home from school.

From Jenna

Thank you a lot for sending those comments on my blog. 

Daddy: So Jenna, who would you vote for in the election if you could vote?

Jenna: Obama.

Daddy: Why would you vote for him?

Jenna: Because I think he's going to be a great president if he wins. 

Daddy: What issues are important to you?

Jenna: Enough money for the schools. Clean air. Air conditioners and heaters for schools. And lots of other stuff. Ok. That's all I want to say.

Boomer Sister Jekka

Hi! My name is Jenna. I love to draw and color. I love music and singing. I'm five years old and I love to climb trees - a lot! My dad had a fun time rescuing me one time when I got stuck on one of the trees.

Mommy bought me a toy seal, Hello Kitty kleenex, and a little jar of jelly when she was at the MOPS convention in Texas. Beth and I had a fun time at "Camp Daddy." It's fun when Mommy's gone.

The new Boomer Sisters book is about when we get captured by pirates. It was awesome but a little bit scary. My daddy says it will be ready by Christmas time.
