I'm doing Grace's idea too.:):):) Hi everybuggy!:):):) My name is Kimberly, and I'm a 13-year-old, 7th-grade, homeschooled triplet.:):):) I LOVE Cricket Magazine, and Cricket Chatterbox!:):):) I also love reading, writing songs, books, poems, and stories, chatting with my great friends on the Chatterbox, sewing, singing, playing the guitar, piano, and flute, riding my horse, taking pictures, drawing, baking, cooking, playing outside, making crafts, swimming, grooming my horse, and a bunch of other things!:):):) I'm the lead singer/songwriter of a country band that my brother, sister and I made, and I LOVE writing songs!:):):) We have A LOT of pets at our house-3 horses, 12 chickens, 4 dogs, 4 cats, 15 fish, 2 goats, and 3 pigs!:):):) Our house is kind of like a small petting zoo!:):):) Also, as you can tell, I'm quite a big fan of smileys.:):):) As my smiley buddy Paige P. can tell you, I make smiley faces almost after every word!:):):) I LOVE Cricket!!!!!!!!!!:):):)

:):) Hi Kimberly! :):):):) I forgot how many animals you have! :o Surprised That's so cool! :):):) I know a girl who has a dozen or so goats. :) The last time that I was there, one of the female goats had just had two babies. :):):):) They were SO cute!!! :):) *-* :):) I got to hold them and play with them. :):):) The black & white one's name was Emma, and the tan one's name was Charlotte (if that's how you spell it....). :):):)  Do you have any siblings besides your brother and sister? I wish that I had a horse, or at least got to ride them more often.... :(:( I rode one for the first time (besides at fairs....) on my trip out west this summer in Yellowstone.  I LOVED it! :):):):)  Smiley faces ROCK!!!! :):):):):) 

Your always smiling friend,

Paige

P.S. I don't know why I signed off, but oh well... :):):):)

Oh, ever since the beginning (of the Chatterbox, not the world), Kimberly and I have always had intelligent smiley conversations. :):):):):) One time, she thought up of the wonderful idea of smiley buddies!!! :):):) Now we put smileys in every comment and always add to each other's smileys!!!!!! :):):):) If you use smileys all of the time, you can be one, too! :):):):):)

I have, among other animals, 6 goats, 4 of which are going to have babies in January. I'm so excited! We name the babies according to certain "lines" of the mother, so (for instance) the babies of our goat Sapphire would all be named after gemstones. So far we have a gem line, a plant line, and a line of characters from stories. Any name ideas?

Yeah!!!!! :):):) If she does, give the baby a big hug from me!!! What do you want to name it?!?!?!  If it's a male, will you keep it?  Sigh, the girl I know, who has goats, always, sniff sniff, eats the males. :(:(:(:( I can't imagine eating cute baby goats!  Do you??!?

No, we don't.:):):) We'll probably keep the CUTE baby goat, if she even ends up having one.:):):) Becka and I hope that they're triplets!!!!:D:D:D A bit much to ask for, but our cat had triplets-2 girls and 1 boy!!!!!:D:D:D It's so funny!!:):):) We have NO IDEA what we'd name it!!!!:):):)
