Last week was busy with babysitting and schoolwork but it was fun at the same time. We did some fun things like my dad and I went to Kohls together to return a couple tops that didn't fit so great on me (to low of a neck line and one was just not comfy) and he was telling me stories of when he was a kid. I love quality time like that. I can't remember what we did on Thursday and Friday I only remember babysitting and then playing games with my brother and sister (we played PS2 together... it was lots of fun!).
Saturday, my mom took me and my brother & sister to a winter wonderland thingy and it was mostly crafts and a speaker on animals and nature but it was fun. We made tie-dye shirts, animal track rubbings, animal track molds, and little critters out of pine cones (I may post a pic of them if I get a chance). They also had refreshments which consisted of bagels, danish, and some other type of breakfast danish (this all took place at 10am which is why they had food). The nature speaker brought a lizard, turtle and hissing cockroaches for her presentation. Pretty cool. I liked the lizard and turtle best though! LOL I hadn't brouth my camera so I couldn't get any pics of the cute little turtle... but you all know what little turtles look like so its ok.
I am excited because my French speaking skills are getting better! I am happy because I am part French from my bloodline so to learn a language from my elder generations is really pretty cool. I can tell the time/date/day/month/and year in French. I can identify most objects in the house, most foods, and a few other things. I am not learning how to put sentences together in regular and negative terms (like lave-toi / I wash myself or ne ta lave pas / I don't wash myself). Its really fun and I enjoy it a lot! I wish I had enough money to buy a Rosetta Stone kit to learn the language quicker but its very expensive! Well enough about that.
Yesterday, I went to the monthly homeschool meeting with my mom to meet up with my friend Katelyn. We chatted most of the time (its totally a girl thing... I think a girl invented the word chat... anyways) and talked about a day to getogether to watch Monk and Phsych together while we knit. Well she is coming over tomorrow afternoon and I think I am going to Youth Group with her after dinner! YEA! Me and Katelyn have several things in common:
- We are both the oldest child in our families
- before AJ was born, our families consister of 3 kids and we are all nearly the same ages
- We are both 16 going on 17 (i love that song now!) lol
- We like watching Monk and Phsych
- We love knitting

So ya, you may have found that boring but if you have a BFF like that, you know that its fun listing things like that! : )
