Post Spring Break Update

Well, let me just say that I have enjoyed being able to sleep in until 8 in the morning everyday this past week. That is one thing I miss about homeschooling. I am sad that I have to go back to getting up at 6:30 every morning to get ready for school. Ok, I only have to get up this early two days a week, but still, I have to be at school before nine four out of five days.

Well, my list really did not see any real large indention in the way of checking things off.

1. I finished the book I have been reading for the past month. Two of the books I had on my list to read I had already read, I was just going to read them to remind myself of what has happened up until the new book that had come out recently. I decided to just skip them since I remembered them once I started to read them. So, I checked two whole books off of my list. Yet, my mom has told my that there is another author I need to read. So I have no idea where my standing is with my reading list.
2. I have not even picked up either one of the two handcrafts I needed to finish.
3. I started one of the handcrafts and it is pretty much done. I have also started on another one, I am about half way done with that one.
4. As I am writing this post, I am watching episode 5 from season 4 of LOST. I am getting closer to finishing the show. It is sad, but exciting all at the same time.
5. Possibly getting a tan this week. Yeah right. I said that the weather was really nice in my last post. This past week: rain almost every day. Tan = Not happening.
6. The three books I have already started I did not even look at much less think about. The one I was hoping to start I was able to finally start. What I have is rough, but I at least have something started.
7. I was able to spend some time with my friends. We went out to get ice cream at DQ. It was nice.

So that was pretty much my week. I can’t wait until this summer. We have started our VBS planning for the painting of the background for the stage and the decorations for several other stations that we decorate for. We start the actual painting process this Tuesday afternoon.

That is all I have for the moment. Time for me to go and start studying for a test I have coming up on Tuesday.

A Day Of Fun

I didn't go to orchestra yesterday. I was still coughing, it felt like at times I was going to cough my insides out. Not that when I had all of the congestion I wasn't blowing my brains out. So with what was left of my brains and insides I stayed home, with my two youngest siblings.

It was an OK day. Most of it was spent in front of the TV, but oh well. That's how you keep kids from making you go crazy. Stick a movie in, give them candy/popcorn, sit back, and enjoy. So when the (or your) parents get home, they can deal with the sugar crazy kids.

When we weren't in front of the TV, we were ether: dressing up as a movie character, eating lunch, dancing to music, or playing computer.

Luke was SO funny when we were dressing up. I told him to go dress up as Indiana Jones. He was so exited about that. After about two minutes, he came to me and said: "I don't have any white shirts to wear! Cause Indiana has a white shirt." So I told him that he didn't have to look exactly like Jones. All I got from that was a angry sigh and a angry walk back to his room. He then came out with a brown shirt on, saying: "I'm wearing this because Indiana has a brown coat, so this is the coat. Now I have to go get my hat." Saying the later as he was running down the hallway excitedly.

Then Megan came up to me with a complaint. I told her to be ether Princess Leah or Queen Amidala. She said: " I can't find any white shirts! Because I'm going to be Amidala in the clone wars when she is fighting the thing and gets scratched on the back." So I just told her that she doesn't have to have a plain white shirt, she could wear one that is white with something on it, but inside out. She really didn't like that idea, but in the end she ended up doing just that.

A Short Vacation

Well, we got back from Big Ceder in Branson. We were supposed to come back tomorrow, but it was raining, today and tomorrow. So all we would be doing is watching TV all day long for the next two days. So we decided to come home today instead of tomorrow.

Orchestra starts up in two days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really happy if you can't tell. I love going to orchestra.

While my grandma was here, I don't know if I already put this out there or not but who cares? Well, she taught me how to make net scrubies to wash dishes with. They only take an hour to make, 30 minutes if you're really fast. There also easy to wash. You could put them in the dish washer of in the washing machine.

She also had a movie for us to watch. It's called "The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!" It's an old 1966 movie(that IS in color)that is one of the funnest movies I have ever seen. She also brought "Love is a Many Splendid Thing." We haven't watched it yet.

While we are on the subject of movies, I would recomend you all to watch "The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!" You would like it, very much. Another movie is "Enchanted." The music in it is awsome!!!!!

I'm Bored

I am SO bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have nothing to do but: read, play music, catch up on school that I haven't finished yet, watch tv, and play computer. (Like I have any games that I really play on the computer.)
