Update...

Well I know I have been gone for a little over a week but it doesn't seem like anyone missed me because why.... I HAVE NO COMMENTS! Which makes me think that no one is reading my blog so please prove me wrong and comment the next time you get a chance (now is as good a time as any: D)

Here is the update on the happenings. Last Monday as you know, I went to see WSS and it was my brothers birthday so we had a nice cake and here is a picture of it.

Tuesday, we didn't have a crazy day but I did do lots of schoolwork. My mom and I went to Bible study at a local church (if you didn't read the previous post, we are doing Beth Moore's newest study Esther: It's Tough Being A Woman).

Wednesday after schoolwork (it happens every weekday, wake up, do schoolwork after eating breakfast and then do whatever is on the list of to do's) but fortunately, our list of to do's was too empty! YEAAAAH! But wait... there was one thing I had to do! Ahhhh! I had to organize and label all our photo albums which are not exactly easy to reach or handle. I will post a pic of our now organized and labelized (is that a word?) photo album collection next time I get a chance. : )

Thursday, I did my (wanna guess.....) schoolwork and afterwards I organized (been doing a lot of that lately) the school table and tidied up my room. I do that at least once a week so I don't drown in clothes and whatnots. Well my sister and I were invited by our neighbor to go to a Peter pan play with their daughters (eldest daughter is somewhat near my age... ok she is 12 but she is very mature) and the second oldest daughter is the same age as my sister but anyway, I had just seen Peter Pan a couple seasons ago at the Village Theater so I didn't go but my sister did. While she was gone though (right after dinner until 8:30pm) the rest of my family and I watched City Of Ember. I was REALLY good! I put a trailer of the movie in my sidebar. You should totally see it! I liked it a lot and so did the rest of my family.

Friday, I babysat that morning and actually had a lot of fun with the girls (Marina and Summer). They were so excited because they got new bedroom furniture but I didn't have my camera on me so I will have to show you a picture later. Its so cute! After babysitting, I came home, ate lunch, did a few school books, and then we went swimming at the summit. I stayed in the kiddie pool with AJ again because my mom was working out in another room. After swimming, we went straight to the library for a pillow decorating class my brother and I had signed up for. I will post pics of my decorated pillow soon! Well my dad picked my brother and I up after we were done and my parents went out on their date night. While they were gone, I did two loads of laundry, made dinner and cleaned up dinner for me and my siblings, changed AJ's diapers and put on his pjs, and on top of it all, I had to know where everyone was at all times (mostly AJ because he is only one years old after all). Well it was rather busy but rewarding in the end because my parents always express their appreciation when they get back.

Saturday, we went the the chiropractor in the morning and then came straight home to eat some lunch and then off to my sister's Spelling Bee. She was so nervous but she did really good up until she misspelled officer, a word she had never spelled wrong before. She handled it really well though. We were all VERY proud of her because she is already shy so to stand on stage and spell is a great achievement for her. After the Spelling Bee, it was nearly 5pm so we went home and ate dinner.

Sunday, we did church at home because we are currently searching for a new church. The previous one we had attended sent out a newsletter as they do every month and on the front page was a whole page on how great Obama is written by the pastor! We were totally shocked! We no longer go to the church because we can't support a church that would praise Obama when he is doing so many corrupt things. So instead, we did church at home as a family. Afterwards, we went to a nearby downtown city and enjoyed a wonderfully sunny and warm afternoon! Here are some pics:

My brother killing the ice with "ice axes". LOL

The charming street that we strolled.



Well while downtown, I bought this totally 100% organic and really great vita-body spray. I bought the one that is scented Sweet Vanilla Fig and it smells INCREDIBLE! It is really quite cheap at $9 dollars considering its 100% organic and all. Well after walking around some more, we ate at McDonald's because my brother and sister had free kids meal coupons so I gave in and had a chicken sandwich. : )

Afterwards, we went to Target because my brother had a $10 gift card that was burning a hole in his wallet. He bought a Sea Monster game for the PS2 and I purchased some needed personal items and a cute picture frame. Once we were finished with Target, we went home and took a short walk. We ate dinner which was chicken, green beans, french bread and rice pilaf (i made the rice and green beans!).

Monday, more schoolwork but I did it while watching AJ because my mom and brother and sister went to work at the soup kitchen to help make food boxes for the homeless. My mom, brother, sister and I went to an Aerobics class at the summit that evening at 7pm. It was an amazing workout! I personally would never want to work out like that with someone watching because it is somewhat embarrassing but yeah... : )

Well I obviously took a shower when I got home because I was rather icky smelling! LOL My dad cut up a watermelon we had bought and it was so good! That was our evening snack. Mmm... I have to say watermelon is my FAVORITE fruit!

Today, it is so bright and sunny out so I don't know what I am doing in the house! I need to get outside!



TTYL,
