So Sorry!

Sorry for not writing! I was really busy. Let me put in some info.

I am going to my co-op. It is running smoothly. In violin I have some homework I have to finish up, which is copying all the music terms. In dance we are working on our dance for the end of the year. In choir we are singing the Beatles. And in art we are working on sketching.

I am really busy working on badges for AHG. So far I have to finish my archery badge. I got an archery set for Christmas! I also got a motor scooter which broke and Dad took it to Walmart and exchanged it.

Now I am working on founding a cookie shop. All the profits will go to charities. Well, some of it. The rest will cover costs of the supplies. I am hoping to raise lots of money. I am looking into charities. So far I have St. Jude's and Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark is a shelter for kids and animals in our town. It sounds like a great place.

Lots To Do

Hi!

I just came back from my literature class at my one-of-two co-ops. I had a whole month to read Tom Sawyer and I still hadn't finished it. I have 5 chapters left. Oh well, I got through the class and now I have to read about 6 poems and write one of my own. Whew! Then on top of that I have to get ready for co-op tomorrow.

We also had a coupon shopping trip at Publix. It turned out all right. We went and got 8 one pound bags of candy. They were buy one get one free and we had coupons.

I am going to be a donut for Halloween. I found the idea on the internet, and listed it on my favorite costumes and then crossed out the ones that I thought weren't the best. So it finally came down to a laundry basket and a donut. Even though my family thought the laundry basket was better, I wanted to be the donut. I am going to spray paint an inner tube and stick "sprinkles" on it.

Well, have to go. Bye!

Going Past The EDGE

Hi Everyone!

Today we went to church. I am so glad that we have found a church that we like. The last post I put had some information about it and I think I mentioned my friend goes to my church. Well, there is this middle school program called EDGE. I am going to go today. I sounds great and I can't wait. It is like CCD for older kids. But, my friend is in it too. Double Great!

That's all I have to say. I am going to post about it after I go to EDGE too. So stick around!

Lots and Lots of Exciting News

I am so sorry about not writing! I have been very busy over the last few weeks (and months!).

But, there is a lot to tell about.

1. We bought a new house

2. I redecorated my room

3. I am taking a Fine Arts co-op

4. We found a new church

Let me start with one. We were tired of looking at houses and mom and dad were just going to put an offer on this one house, when our wonderful realtor showed us one that just went on the market that day. So, we went to this house and saw how wonderful it was and decided that this was the house we wanted and if we didn't get it, we would have the other house as a backup. Well, many people saw it that day too. So there was already some offers on it. But, my smart daddy said that we should just put in full price, otherwise we were not going to get it. So, they put in the offer and now we are living in our wonderful house! Let me tell you about it. It is a two story with a basement. On the 2nd floor are 3 bedrooms and a bonus. One of the bedrooms is the master. Than on the first floor there is a big kitchen, a dining room, and the living room and laundry room. In the basement there is lots of space and it even has it's own bathroom. Then there is another garage, besides the one that is attached to the house, and a pool. And it on a 1 acre lot. It is perfect, just we wanted another acre. But, what would we do with another acre? Mow. And mow. And more mowing.

Two, I redecorated my room. Me and my friends back where is used to live played a shopping spree before I left. We were all redoing our rooms. So we had the most funnest time in the world going through stores and walking around. I think we spent more money on our clothes than we did on our rooms, but it was still fun.

But, I did redecorate my room. I painted it light green and I am going to put light blue polka dots on the wall. And we had a garage sale with our friends from church and we traded stuff with them and I ended up getting some new decorations for my room. I also had some neon flowers that I had bought at Hobby Lobby that were on sale for 50% off and put them up and then put two butterflies around the flowers to make it look like the butterflies were flying around the flowers. And I am going to put the word "Dream" under them in brown.

Kaylee redid her room too and it is pink. She wanted a room theme and chose Paris for it. So she has an Ifle Tower and lots of poodle pictures.

I am also taking a Fine Arts co-op that is extremely fun. Here is my schedule:

9am - 10am: Voilin

10am - 11am: Break Time

11am- 12pm: Folk Dancing Class

12pm - 12:30pm: Lunch

12:30 - 1:30: Art Class

1:30 - 2pm: Break

2pm - 3:30pm: Choir

And next year I am going to add (if I can) Ballroom Dancing, Tumbling, Photography and Ballet into my schedule. I also take a once a month co-op that teaches liturchure. It is a great class that will hopefully help me on my career as a Writer.

We found a new church. We now go to St. James the Apostle Catholic Church. I am going to be in a class called Edge. It is for middle schoolers. I can't wait to go. And what is so funny is that my new friend from co-op goes to the same church! And she does Edge! How cool is that!

Well, I hope this makes up for me not writing. I am going to start writing again.

4th of July Fun!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We are so lucky to live in a country like this. I spent the 4th of July at my Nanny and G-Dad's house with my cousins. We went tubing and swimming in the lake and pool and also saw some fireworks. We come here every 4th of July, but this year was a little different. We always go to two firework displays, one on the 3rd and the other on the 4th. So the one on the 3rd we see on the boat and we saw that one. But, the other display we see at a place called Great Waters. We have a picnic and play games and sit there for 4 hours playing games. This year though it rained. So we ended up not going to Great Waters and staying home and watching fireworks on the TV. We watched the Washington D.C. ones and the Macy's fireworks in New York. I thought that Macy's was better, just not as big. Bigger, to me, is not better. I was really sad and mad that we did not see Great Water's fireworks. It stopped raining, just the adults didn't want to drive and park and lug everything down, then drag it back up. Oh well, It was fun, I guess.

Wow! Way to Much Stuff!

We are going to have a garage sale on Saturday. And I can't believe how much stuff we have collected to sell! Our whole dining room is full of things! We have books, toys, clothes, furniture, and one dog. I am kidding about the dog, but, it has come to mind... :). We are going to have a multi-family yard sale, and I hope all the stuff goes. It is going to be pretty big. Our next door neighbor is going to have a yard sale too and our friends from church are going to come and sell their stuff. I want to sell lemonade.

Daddy is at Nanny's and G-dad's house because his new work is near there. He has been staying there since Monday. He is coming back tonight though.

Well, hope you are having a good week. Hope that all the stuff will be gone at the end of Saturday.
