Happy New Year!!

Hard to believe sometimes that it's actually Jan. of 2009. Isn't it funny how time moves? Sometimes it feels like the week passes by in a flash, especially if you're dreading something, like this: Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. But of course if you're waiting for something wonderful, let's say...on Friday, it's like this, Sun., Sun., Mon.,Mon., Tue., Tue., Wed., Wed., Thr.,Thr., F.,Saturday. Oh, well, My grandparents came for Christmas, so that was a lot of fun. And then we had our friends over for new year's eve.I hope you had very happy holidays this year too.I have to go now, Bye!

PS. I've been reading the Redwall books lately and am now about to start Mariel of Redwall.

20 days till x-mas

I'm not even going to bother apologizing. Anyway a lot has happened since the last time I wrote. I now have 2 rabbits (sisters) that I love very much, I got my own sewing machine and made a baby blanket for a friend of ours, and today we have a holiday party for my mom's side of the family. Hopefully our family will be going down to Ohio for a visit sometime in January. My rabbits are named Roxy and Pebbles, and now I have to go read Cabbie's blog,and then finish my laundry.
see ya!!

Fall

Wow, been a long time since I wrote huh? Anyway, I typed my address in wrong today and came up with about 50 things! Amazing huh? I love fall, it's my favorite season with it's colored leaves, slightly chilly weather, and apples. We have an apple and pear orchard so we spent half of yesterday slicing up apples and coring them. then we thread them on a string and we can hang them up to dry. Then we can have apple slices all winter. YUM!! I'll have to see if we can find some good recipes, because we have a ton of apples, and I mean a ton!! We'll have to can some mom says YAY!! Canned apples taste a lot like pears.mmmm. Yesterday the little kids and I went out to pick apples, from one tree we filled a 5 gallon bucket!!Gotta go now, bye!!

SSSOOOORRRYYY

SORRY, SORRY, SORRY!!! I keep forgetting to write and if I do remember the phone isn't free to use. (we have dial-up so we have to use the phone cord) Our family home schools so we didn't start school till today. On my list of schoolwork for today was the following: Piano, (Micah is sleeping so I haven't done that yet),Art, a worksheet, math, (I loath the word) this, my blog, and German, which my mom learned in high school and is now teaching me. Away from school, people around here who don't know us must think we're crazy or something, because we have a steer calf in the front yard, but I say they are the crazy ones. Today somebody stopped in front of our house and was staring at him, after a little while they drove away. then about a half hour later someone else drove up and took a vidio clip of him!! Crazy city people. Anyway, it's time for supper, gotta go,

See ya,

Band-aids

Hi, there's not much to write about but I'll probably find things as I go along. See? I already have a full sentence written.Blank mind.Oh!! I can't believe I almost forgot! there's a button at the top of my blog that says: next blog, when you click it it sends you to a random blog. this afternoon I clicked it and got a blog written completely in Spanish!! I only glanced at the title and didn't even bother with the rest because even though I've taken Spanish class twice I've never caught on and so I only know a couple basic words. oh well. Earlier my Little brother needed a band-aid. He loves Thomas the train so we have some Thomas band-aids for him. Sir Topham Hat is the mayor of the town Thomas lives in here's what Mom and Micah were saying.
Mom:"Do you want Thomas or Sir Thopham Hat?
Micah: "I don't like Sir Thopham Hat, I always think he's real!!
Me:"Ahh, there's a person on my toe! Oh wait, it's just my band-aid.
Like it? Mom's been looking for a babysitter and we found one, a 14 year old girl named Amy. She seemes really nice. Alright, I have to go now, we have to go to the bank,(at least we get suckers,)and the library, YYYEEEEEAAAAAYYYY

see ya!!

snoring problems

The funniest thing happened last night! I have a bad habit of staying up late to finish whatever book I'm reading, ( last night it was about 11:00 before I got to sleep.) Anyway, I had just turned off the light when I thought I heard thunder in the distance. I looked out the window, no lightning to be seen. I listened for a minute then realised it was dad snoring in the next room!!=:-) Crazy huh? Oh well at least it's better than the time we were all sleeping in the same room (I can't remember why,) and mom and dad were both snoring like foghorns, at least it seemed like it, I actually had to go out of the room at one point it was so bad. You can imagine I didn't get much sleep that night. On to a different train of thought I have been playing with my 2 younger siblings quite a bit lately mom's been at work, and dad's had to work third shift, so he's had to sleep and I 've had to take care of the little kids which is sometimes the most fun you can imagine, but other times? Let me use a face (my specialty!) to describe it -( Like it?? To entertain them one day I got out one of my books that I thought they might like, the good news, they did!! The bad news, they did, because now they won't stop begging me to read more!!! Oh well it's my own fault, anyway that's all I have to write about for now
see ya!!

P.S. the name of the book Is FREDDY GOES TO FLORIDA, and it's great for much older kids as well as little ones. It's part of a series of books by Walter R. Brooks. Have fun reading!!

P.P.S. Freddy is a pig.

Hi,
Sorry I havn't written in a while. I either haven't had anything to write about or I didn't feel like it. Anyway, I had a lot of fun at my grandparents house, we went swimming a couple times after my last post and we also went putt-putt golfing 1 more time. I posted another section of my story today too, hope you enjoy it! Gotta go now, I want to look at my friend Cabbie's blog, it's really good and she's been doing it a lot longer than me. I have a link to it labled Queen Ann, it's up in the top left corner.
See ya!!
