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.

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.
