First Day of Winter

Hi guys! Yesterday was really fun. We went to a light festival and got pizza with our cousins and then we watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid. On Sunday, we watched the Beauty and the Beast play for a school field trip. There were creepy wolves that came down the isle Dottie and my dad were sitting! Some of our teachers and friends were in the play. Did you know that today is the shortest day in 146 years? I got some pictures of the pretty, almost full moon last night! My mom said we might go to a movie today! Tomorrow, the cousins (we gave them the names Stripes for the little one and Blue-dots for the one that is Dottie's age) are leaving....but we are going with them!!! We will come home Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas!

Part 2 of Cooking up b-fast

Hi again! The computer got messed up so I could only post pics, so this an addition to Cooking up b-fast. Dottie and I got bored, so we cooked breakfast with each other. We made eggs and toast. Last night my dad accidentally gave away a Christmas present secret.....I got one of the top things on my list!! Yay!!! But I kinda wish I didn't know, but I was in the room anyway. He told me sorry, and I told him it was OK. I think it is sorta funny too.

Field Trip

We will go on a field trip next week. It's a pumpkin patch based on colonial days. That is what we are doing for history. Instead of going on the Mayflower there, we will go on the Hayflower (it is made of hay )! I got new glasses yesterday. They have butterflies on them. I love them! Dottie and I can't wait for Halloween! I will be a rockstar!!! Can you guess what Dottie's gonna be? I'll give you a hint: she will wear a pretty dress, and a sash with the name of what she is on it. My mom said we can make Halloween cookies with candy corn! The little pumpkin candy corns are my favs! I get to go get a mani-pedi at my friends b-day! I also will sleepover at her house that night. I'm so excited. Next week we don't have any school, so we can work on everything the whole week. We will try to post some pics!

New Fall!

It's been a while since we got back to you. Polkie and I go to a charter school now. It's pretty fun but it's a lot of work. I have some friends there and I have made some new friends too.
I'm learning Latin, but my favorite subject is Critical Thinking. For a craft we are learning how to quill. Last month we were making clay pots and cups. In the morning we have Character class, then, we have Latin, Science, Language Arts, then Art and then Humanities. I am reading a book called, "The Courage of Sarah Noble". My teachers pick out really good books.

The First Day of School

Today we started school. We have started to read Sign of the Beaver for reading, and I got to have a mini cupcake with a candle in it to blow out and a mini cup of ice cream because today we celebrated all the summer birthdays. And for science in a couple weeks we get to go out and study the moon at night. We have been so busy with getting ready for school and vacations we haven't been able to talk much about what we did this summer. I start horse back riding lessons on Monday next week, I'm working on a "study spot", (picture above) for school this year. The gift bag is for pens and pencils, the cork is for notes, and the envelopes are for putting notes or school cards in. We went camping with our whole family and had my birthday party.

Crocheting

Crocheting is my favorite thing to do now. I've been doing it with my friend. She taught me how to do it today.

This is a bracelet that I made!
Love,
Dottie

4. Set up a new big pool and have gone swimming every day since it was set up
5. Gotten ready for a new school year
6. Dottie has been making bracelets, necklaces, and key chains out of beads

10. Enjoying all the sunshine, sand, and sea of the summer!!!

Summer is FINALLY here!!!

YAY!!!! I'm almost done with school! After this week, I will become a 6th grader, and Dottie will become a 3rd grader. I finished my state report and colored in the map. I also labeled the capital, the islands names, the islands nicknames, and mountains. This weekend I'm going to camp and I'm going camping with my cousin for a day on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I am going on a trip.I packed my bear and me.

Lemonade for sale!

Minnie Dot, Dottie, and I had a lemonade stand yesterday. Dottie made almost 3 back up pitchers of lemonade because people kept on coming. It was so hot! My mom took us to McDonald's after we had sold all of our back up pitchers. We made a lot of signs and hung them all over the neighborhood.

Our friend

Dottie and I want to introduce Minnie Dot, our BFF.
She taught Dottie and I to jump-rope with three people today.
We cleaned up the living room for my mom.
Out of my cookbook we made Big Top brownies for everyone.

State Report

I am doing a report on Hawaii because I want to go there really badly.
I finished my outline and a big map of the islands today. On the map I put some scraps that I got from a piece of paper that had Hawaiian flowers and messages that had things that talked about the ocean. I also attached a paper lei to the posterboard. Here are pictures of it:

School Days

This is a portrait I had to paint for school.
I had to choose to paint a picture of my teacher or a person in my family. I was supposed to choose weird colors and paint unrealistic people. I painted Dottie.

School Days

Yesterday for school I wrote a story titled Sunset over the Lake. This is what it said:

Sunset over the Lake
As the sun set over the lake of glass,
the sky turned from pink to orange to purple.
The ducks swimming in the water waddled back onto land.
The sun said goodbye to the lake and sky.
All the clouds looked like puffs of ice cream.
The lake with ripples of water lightly splashed the shore.
What a wonderful world.

More of Eila

These pictures are of Eila getting ready for an adventure.....as always! Eila got a new puppy and sunglasses too. Yesterday we went skating at the YMCA. I fell about 100 times and ran into somebody. It was only my second time skating.

New Blog

A few days ago I found out that someone deleted all of my other pictures of Eila, so I'll take some more pictures and post them soon. Anyways, I hope you like my new blog background. I found out that Dottie and I will be going to the Father Daughter Dance in a few weeks. We are so excited. We got new dresses and everything.

Happy almost Valentines Day!

What Came With Eila

Eila came with a book, headband, hairband, and brush. She came dressed in a pink dress, gray leggings, pink shoes, and light pink underwear. I still have more pictures of Eila that I'll post in a while.

Meet Eila Noel ( my Christmas present)

Meet Eila, my American Girl Doll. As you can see in the first 2 photos she is a gymnast! I couldn't fit all the pictures I took of her so I'm going to have to post more about her. She is a Just Like Me doll and I love her. I also got a magazine subscription to American Girl. I can't wait till it gets here!

Busy Me

I've been very busy since Halloween! I just finished basketball before Christmas and I think I want to try ballet next. On Mondays I'm busy because it is an intense school and I sometimes babysit on Monday. On Tuesday I always babysit for a couple hours and then the rest of the day is spent on school. On Wednesday it is the same as Tuesday except I have Route 56 at church. On Thursday we usually go shopping and/or clean for a long time. Friday is mostly the same as Thursday. On Saturday we play with friends and my dad almost always has a project to work on that I can help with. On Sunday we go to church and when I get home I do my Bible study for that week. It is hard to keep up with my blog and busy me.
