Pirates~

Yesterday at 7:12pm on the dot my Dad, me, Rachel, and Lauren headed off to go see Pirates of the Caribbean World's End. We got their parked we were almost at the front door when we saw it!!! THE BIGGEST LINE!!!!! I asked my Dad I wonder what that line is for? Thinking maybe it was for the ticket booth or something. I was REAALLLY wrong. Lol. It was the line just to get into the movie. YIKES! We walked in the front door already having our tickets. and headed for the movie. When we saw how long the line was. We almost gave up! My dad said that he thought It would be better to go the next day so that it wouldn't be so crowded. We went to the ticket booth to get out new tickets for tomorrow. Thankfully my Dad asked if we would all be able to sit together. She said we would definitely be able to. The movie was on 4 theaters holding all together about 1000 people. WOW! Good thing my Dad asked other wise we would have been sitting at home watching Wallace and Gromit with Lauren! HeeHee! We walked and then walked and walked some more to the very very VERY back of the line. We all were laughing because it was so long! There were about 300 and over people in the line. We were the very last people in line. That's what we get for going to the one show of the night. The line went fast and we got into our theater. The movie was excellent. It was 3 hours long but WAY worth going. It had a little bit of everything in it! It made me laugh, cry, jump and shiver. A great movie! I recommend it to anyone who is lacking A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E!!!
Arrgghh matey's...

Day of Cleaning!

WOW! Today we have cleaned up quite a lot! We have our whole back room clean!!!!! It looks really nice and It's nice to come in and be able to sit and enjoy sitting in the new clean space. I cleaned up the screens outside from the windows. It started to POUR down on my head so I came in. We washed windows, Lauren did some dishes, Rachel cleaned the shelves that my Dad's smiley face mugs collection sits on. :o) Kate is soooo taken with those mugs! She will sit below the mugs and stare and wave both hands at them. It is so sad to see her do that. I don't know why you would think that it would be cute. Maybe because she thinks they are real because of the faces on them. I also helped my Dad out with the grout up stairs in the bathroom. I sure did get messy!!! At the start of today I felt a little grumpy when I heard all the work that needed to be done. After it is finished it makes you think WOW this was WAY worth it. Also to always have a joyful heart when working. It sure does help out a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also you can spread joy to others. :)

Today really showed how responsible I am! I had to take care of Kate for a few hours while my Mom did a Baading class. I think I did really well. We played with some chalk outside with her. SHE LOVES chalk!!!!!!!! IT is so cute to see her draw with it on the ground. She was watching Lauren so carefully making sure she was doing it the correct way. After I gave her a bath and she had such a F-U-N time!!! Then we played Toontown on the computer together she loves that game. Then she got a little tired so I put her down to bed. She cried for just a little while and then she went straight to sleep. She is such a funny BABY!!! I enjoy every moment I have with her. Mom came home and her bead class was a success!!!!!! SHe ended up having a great time!

Another Day....

Well today my good friend Charissa and I woke up S-L-O-W-L-Y! We had stayed up very late watching movies... Mom made a really good breakfast eggs with cheese, ham, and onions. It was SO good. After breakfast Charissa helped me clean the kitchen. She is so nice to help me with my chores around the house. Then we went over to our next door neighbors house to play with her two dogs Jada and Dillian. Jada is completely blind it is so pitiful to watch her run into things!
:o( :o( :o(. After we played half a game of pictionary with my Mom and sister Rachel. The baby was fussy so we did not really get to finish. After that her Mom basically pulled up our driveway. I was sad because I have such a good time with Charissa when ever she is over and I hate to see her go. But.... THANKFULLY her Mom and my Mom talked for a bit. So we ended up spending a little bit more time together. :o) After Charissa had left we had lunch. Rice, beans, and chicken. It was great and I enjoyed it very MUCH!!!!! After that can you say CHORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did our chores and cleaned up from lunch. Mom looked over her beads for her bead class that's coming up. I just finished peeling some potatoes for dinner and can hear them boiling over as I type, be right back. They're good. :o) Charissa and I ended up having a FABULOUS TIME!

Piano & Sewing

Well today we had piano and sewing to do. We had a nice time with our sewing instructor. We didn't do any sewing this time. We just went over what projects we are going to do. Also what kind of fabrics, that kind of thing. After I had piano! It was nice to be able to be back. Since we have been away for a while. I learned some new things like 1&2 inversions and some other things. My teach Michael played for the first time for me and my Mom. He was AWESOME. It is really always neat to see someone else at a higher level than you are play. It gives you so much encouragement. So I had a nice time playing. I am home now and we are having hamburgers YUMMY!!!

3 tiered skirts~

Well Today Tiffany a woman from our homeschooling group came over with her kids to teach us how to make three tiered skirts. One of her daughters came wearing her skirt and it was the cutest thing. I was REALLY excited for Lauren. Mom made Lauren's skirt this time and Rachel and I are going to make ours another time. Mom learned how to do everything so I guess we will be learning from her. I took care of Kate while Mom learned how to do it. I checked in with her now and then to see how it was going. She did SUCH a good job!! I was VERY proud of her since it was her first time using a sewing machine. She said I AM SO NERVOUS! HeeHee! That's exactly what I said when I first used one. We are SO SO SO the same! Anyway, Mom didn't finish the skirt completely but you could see how good it was coming along. She had already made about three tiers when I came in and looked at it. It was sooooooo cute! She picked out some pretty blue and blue floral print. It is going to look so cute on Lauren when it is finished. Tiffany took it home with her so that she could finish it. Mom was ALMOST done but Tiffany had to go so they decided to let her take it home with her to finish it. I cannot wait to make one for myself they are totally to DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!
