My Week!

Hey everyone,
Sorry it has been a while but I have been really busy (big surprise huh.... lol)!!! Last week I went to see my friends play, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which was very good and funny! I enjoyed it and was extra happy because one of my best friends sat right next to me! After the wonderful play, my friend came to my house as we waited for our other friends photo shoot (they had to act out the play again and freeze at certain parts for pictures!). While my friend Nicole and I waited, we talked together (we enjoy that a lot), made lemon ices to drink, ate hummus and crackers and tried a new food called himaca. It is a strange fruit I think. It tasted like an apple. It was kinda cool outside so we came downstairs to my room and had a nice chat together. Before we knew it, nearly three hours had flown by! My grandmother came over while Nicole and her mom were still here and I showed Nicole and my grandma the lime green prom dress that I had bought at a garage sale and showed them pictures from the Home school Spring Formal (their version of a prom). Then finally, our friends photo shoot ended and she came to my house and as we were getting ready to go out to eat, I realized I had to babysit in 30 minutes, our friend's mom remembered that a tutor was going to arrive at their house in 25 minutes and Nicole's mom said she would like to get home soon so we decided to wait for another day to go out to eat together and I felt sorry for our friend but we had no time for anything except fast food! : )
Hopefully we can get together for lunch soon so all three of us girls can hang out together!
The next day was Wednesday and I biked up to a nearby park and met up with a couple of my friends. On Thursday my dad came home and lunch and told us he had injured his bad knee and foot so he stayed home for an hour to relax and bravely went back to work! Poor daddy.
Friday, I babysat like usual from 9 to noon and when I came home I played with my baby brother and did my schoolwork and it was rather nice out!
Saturday was a lot of fun! We went to a outdoor historical park and we saw a civil war reenactment and bought ice cream custards, ate sweet potato fries and a pork Po boy and homemade mac and cheese and walked around and looked inside historical homes. It was beautiful outside because God blessed us with sunshine and mid-70s weather! When we came home we were tired from walking around for so long because we were there for nearly 5 hours and 90% of the time was spent walking. LOL
On Sunday, after church, we were very busy with organizing outside. My dad cut the lawn (even though I did offer to do it), he cut off a few low branches on a couple of our trees and my brother and I had to cut the branches into foot long pieces and put them in a yard bag. After that we organized our shed which took a loooong time because we had to get all of our deck furniture out and onto our huge deck, take out the bikes (thankfully there was only three inside), organize all of out outdoor toys, roller blades, and gardening supplies, sweep out all the leaves and spiders and what not out and then put everything back in in an organized fashion (we didn't put the deck furniture back in though). My dad organized the garage. My mom and I worked in the garden a little bit planting tomatoes. I watered all of our gardens, plants and flowers (which we have a LOT of) and then by about 6pm, we were finished and the outside looked great!
On Memorial day, it was reallllllllly hot outside! The highest it got to that day was almost 92 degrees!!! Sooo... my friend across the street invited my sister and I over to play in the sprinkler and we borrowed our neighbors slip 'n slide and I wore my new tankini swimsuit! My sister and I spent about two hours at their house and we had a lot of fun. I came home and got changed and took care of my baby brother while my dad went shopping and my mom took a break from caring for the baby. A while later and I had to give baby back to mom because I had to go babysit. I brought our sprinkler and my swimsuit with me for the kids to play with me because it was still really hot out at 4pm. Then the weather was strange because as the kids were drying off, the sun went away and it started to get pretty cool out. It went from 86 to 76 degrees in just a couple hours! After giving the kids dinner, I played games with them, took them for a walk outside, got their pj's on, and let them watch TV for a while. I put the youngest to bed (she was real tired) but the other two were allowed to stay up until their parents got home and about 8:30 or so. On Tuesday, I woke up at about 8am and read my bible then ate breakfast and then started my schoolwork. Finished school at about 2pm. I wanted to go to the library so we left at 3pm and I got my book (a knitting project book) and then my mom dropped me off to babysit about 35 minutes later. I had a good time babysitting and the kids had more fun than usual because my sister came along to play with the kids too. When we came home for dinner we had pizza and salad. After dinner, my dad took me to Joann's (a craft supply store) and I bought the yarn, zipper, and inside fabric that I need to make a really nice clutch purse. I bought creme colored fabric and it was about 70% off so it was only $2 each and it was the 196 yards of yarn!!! So I got almost 400 yards of yarn for $4!!! Yeaaaaaaa! When my dad and I got back home, it was already minutes before 9pm so I got ready for bed and then my dad popped in a old scary movie that was actually quite silly and I didn't get into bed until 11:30 or so.
I woke up this morning to find my baby brother on top of my bed because my mom was holding him there and she needed me to take care of him for a while. I looked at the clock at is was 7am. So I took the baby and I played with him and then a bit later put him in his play chair and turned on one of those education baby shows and read my bible while he watched tv. Then 30 minutes later, I brought him upstairs with me and he sat in my lap while I ate my cereal because my mom wasn't up yet ( was about 8am). I played with my brother some more and changed his diaper and then woke up my siblings because it was a little after 8:30. My mom woke up and she fed the baby and started schooling my brother and sister after they had eggs and toast for breakfast with my dad before he left for work. I did all my schoolwork and now all I have left to do is my history and then I will be done for the day. I know this is an incredibly long post but I just fit over a week into this post! Enjoy!

Until Next Time,
