she...
is alternating reading Geranimo Stilton books and Christmas classics that she's checked out of the library ("...because if I wait 'til December, they won't be checked in!")
is certain she needs her own version of Minecraft after watching her brother play
just got new pink snow boots (size 1 - eeek!)
is practicing for her holiday dance recital in a few weeks
never listens to her mama's advice that she needs a coat. and yet somehow never gets cold.

successfully taught the old dog a new trick: how to shake. and is still working on the "Nice to meet you" part.
is thrilled that basketball season is over (not his favorite sport) and that golf lessons will commence next week.
can rock Jingle Bells on the trumpet like nobody's business.
got a perfect attendance award for first quarter (exciting!) and with it, received a free homework pass (waaaaaay more exciting!).
made a bar graph featuring all the candy he scored trick-or-treating.
can't wait for pecan pie at Thanksgiving.

might be as addicted to the Car & Motorcycle section of Pinterest as his wife is to the Arts & Crafts.
grew a beard for about 4 weeks (contest at work!) and then had to shave the beard for a television interview next week.
is going to be on the CBS Evening News for an upcoming segment on the oil industry.
might be just a little bit nervous/stressed out/tense about the aforementioned interview.

is wrapped up in planning for her very favorite holiday in the universe EVER, Thanksgiving dinner!
is trying not to ignore other obligations amidst Thanksgiving planning.
registered for a spring race in hopes of re-igniting her running motivation.
is spending this morning on a little shopping expedition with her mama (who recently joined Twitter - and once she figures it out will undoubtedly be dropping 140-character gems all over the interwebs)
is beyond proud of the other three humans listed here, who make her heart happy on a daily basis.
What's going on with you?
