Latest and greatest

I know I haven't posted in a while... okay so its been almost a week but I have been rather busy.
It is good busy though because I have been doing fun projects.
My siblings and I are working on our reports for the International Dinner. The International Dinner is a type of field trip we do with our homeschool group and each family will choose one country (Germany, Spain, Japan, etc...) and do reports on the country's government, population, imported goods, what kind of food they eat and then choose a dish to serve at the International Dinner with a display set up.
It is tons of fun and a great way to make learning about other countries more fun and interesting.
My family is working on Japan. I have been researching their government, history on the Japanese Emperors, I drew a picture of Japanese scenery (i will put a picture of my picture on here when I get the next opportunity).

Today, my family went to a local church to learn CPR. I had already taken a class and received a certificate but I joined anyway to refresh my memory because the class I had taken before was almost 5 years ago.
We learned a few other things besides CPR like the Heimlich, what to do in case someone gets a burn (like from hot water or coffee), fire safety, etc...
It was neat because the two men who taught the class were Firefighter Paramedics from the fire station just down the street from my house.
Well I can't write anymore at the moment because I need to work on my story.

Post more later,
Butterfly
