CARDINALS!

I was watching the Cardinals game. Mets are winning, but we just had an awesome play. I have to get a good a good night's sleep for the M.A.P.'s. I have already written the answers inside my eyelids!

M.A.P.'s

On Wednesday we are having M.A.P. tests. They depend on the school and district. I actually am not scared. Wonder why?

Lent

It's Lent. I will say the rosary everyday. I got my ashes before school, people asked me if I bruised my forehead. Very funny. I've been saying the rosary REALLY early in the morning. I find it easier to meditate then.

Ice Skating

On Sunday we went ice skating. I haven't done it since I was 3 or so. At the end I got really fast, but then we left. No school today. It snowed a lot! Oh, and I was on the block and rebounded the ball, shut my eyes, shot, opened my eyes, and I saw the ball spinning around the rim, and it almost tipped out but it went in. I made the 7th and 8th point. We haven't had a basketball game in 2 weeks. I don't know what's going on.

Last Saturday I made my first basket in a game against Sacred Heart. We won 17 to 4. I forgot to write it.

Good News!

Good News! I'm getting an I-pod Shuffle that's orange! I'm getting my name engraved on it. I miss dad, he went to Albuquerque, then Colorado. He's coming back tommorow.

Snow

It snowed! I made a snowman, Charles, and had a snowball fight. It was awesome! I have to stop my snack, it's 4:00.

Basketball

I haven't written. Too many basketball games. Speaking of basketball, I played my first game ever! We won 19 to 9. I didn't make any baskets, but I played well. It was really fun.

Blogging, Blogging, Read all about it!

I'm blogging. Nothing really. We've had a sub for 2 days and tomorrow we'll have another! My teacher must have a big fever! She'll be back on monday. Elizabeth received her I-pod today. She has photos and music and a clock, and calender! It's green. She got her name engraved on it. We're watching 42nd Street. Mom says she loves those 1930's movies! I guess she does! That was Claire's News.

I have no title today because I can't think how to put it. We just cleaned up the kitchen and dad is yelling at the radio. Mom's at work. I can't write today and I don't know why. I'll tell you about school. We had a sub, Mrs. Brengle is sick. We did tae kwon do in gym today. I just can't write. And I don't even know why.

Hello!

I couldn't get in. Really annoying. Anyway, today we took down the tree. Everything looks bare! Here's a summary of Christmas: I woke up at 2:oo in the morning, hearing "Come on!". Later, I heard this "Ho ho ho!". I was freaked! Finally, at 7:30 Beth woke everyone up. I was the first kid downstairs. We all ran to the tree to see what we got. We all found our gifts. I found a blue north face, fluffy socks, books, and candy in my stocking. That's not all! That was just from santa. I got a quilling kit, a book of Marie Curie, and a book of Charles Dickens. Later, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Joe, and Aunt Gerri came over. We drew pictures with my drawing book. Then, my other set of grandparents came over. We ate a snack, then played. After that we ate dinner. It was delicious! Then we got more presents. I got scrabble. Then they left. That was my Christmas.

Fun! Fun!

Kathleen came over today. I played violin for her. Then we went down to the basement and played tag. Kathleen got hurt, so I wrapped her arm up. She did the same thing to me. Then, we went outside and Kathleen pulled the wagon down the hill while I was in it! She ran me into the woods! After that we went upstairs and I played the violin again. It was fun, fun, fun!

Violin, lin, lin

We rented a violin from "Fazios Frets and Friends". I tried to play, but there isn't a sponge, so I have to play without one. But, it is still fun to play. Tommy sure is interested in it!

Still sick...

I'm still sick, and again I'm home from school.

Sick

I'm sick. I had to stay home from school. I had parental permission, I didn't play hookey! Nothin' really to say but, my legs feel like jell-o!

ETC....

I got High School Musical piani (PIE-an-EE) and violin music, too. And from gramma B. I got a journal ETC. Ha! This reminds me of The King and I,"Etcetera, Etcetera, Etcetera!" Oh, and from gramma S. I got "cranium mega masks." I used the chinese for maids (don't tell my mom)! I just had a sleepover with Kathleen, but I'm not in the mood for typing, so all I will tell you is we went to the Bread Co. and Kathleen and I got an asiago cheese bagel.

SURPRISE!

Yesterday I went to help my dad carry the chinese, I opened the door, I closed it, and said to my dad, "I don't think I was supposed to go in there!" "Why not?"said my dad. "Look for yourself!" I said surprised. "Just go in there!" said my dad. I went in, turned, and all of the sudden there was a giant SURPRISE! My mom, Elizabeth, and my friends, Tessa, Kathleen, and Claire were there. It was my surprise party! Then we ate papa john's pizza, and drank 7 up. Then, I showed them my room, and we went outside and played. We went to the Berendzen pumpkin patch, and gathered as many pumpkins as we could find, and I showed them more of the farm. Then we played Ghost in the Graveyard. Then It was time for the cake. Elizabeth decorated it. Everyone sang happy birthday, and my mom got a picture of me blowing out the candle. The cake was chocolate, and the ice cream was cookie dough. Then I opened the presents. Elizabeth got me a stuffed doggy, Kathleen gave me a watch and a book, Tessa got me "Luminart", and Claire got me, create your own window stickers. Then everyone got a little stuffed animal and left. That was the best surprise party ever!

Caramel Apples

Today at school we melted caramel and dipped apples in it! They were so good! We watched the movie of Johnny Chapman A.K.A Johnny Appleseed. It was in a way odd, as you call it. Nothin' really to say but POSPERO.

CARDINALS!

Yesterday I went to the ball game. The sun was right on us! I almost got sunburned! We won 6-1. Cardinals beat the Giants! They're not that giant! Nothin' really to say but SUP.

Violin

Yesterday we started violin with the bow. We played a song called "Papa Patch". It's really cool. Although nobody was that good and I was really screechy at first. Here's a crummy joke for you Uncle John, How did the niece tell a hurtful joke and crack up: she got a kick out of it!!! Nothin' really to say but YO.
