science center

Yesterday we went to the science center and it was very cool. We went to the dinosaur exhibit and there was a map of anything you could imagine. We saw the white house and the bay and the great pyramids of Egypt. We also played a harp with no stings. Then, we went upstairs and went into the kids play room. There was a submarine that had a camera view of inside the fish tank and there was this big water "fountain". This was all for little kids but me and carl got a blast out of it. Did i mention it was carl's birthday? After that we came home and had pizza for dinner and homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Overall it was a good day =]

Be Still and Listen

To the two schoolers talking about friendship.
To the fever-laden breathing of a sleeping two year old.
To the belly laughter of said two year old the next day.
To the loud conversations of a flock of starlings perched nearby.
To the excitement brimming right before a science experiment that includes fire.
To rain in the middle of the night.

4.) I am really good at the wobbly ladders you see at the state fair.

5.) I can not stand talking in front of people that I don't know.

6.) I love talking to my friends.

School on the Trail

A bit of PE, a dash of science, a pinch of art...
(I'm trying to jazz up the joint with photos. Being new to this, I forgot to rotate them so get yourself a comfy pillow and take a nice little rest on your desk while viewing!)

gymnastics

One of my favorite sports is gymnastics. I love the feeling you get when your flipping over a 4 inch wide beam, 4 feet off the ground. I recently started doing a tsukahara. A tsukahara is a vault and what you do is flip off the vault to land. I started gymnastics when I was really young and I never stopped. Our team recently got a new coach and basically a new team. I have a lot of friends at my gym and I love competing with them.
My second favorite sport is soccer. I guess I'm okay at it but by far not the best on my team. I just play rec so not very competitive. I play indoor and outdoor soccer as well.
Altogether, I am a really active girl who loves sports.

Peace and Smiles

1. The Trio taping, wrapping, taping a gift for papa for his 70th birthday.
2. Watching Bino's class look, look, look for pumpkins that are so close they could trip over them and then big bro and big sis play so sweetly with all of them.
4. My big sister working her word magic in honor of papa.
5. Black and tans.
6. "All natural training bits [for dogs] with calming herbs..." that claim to "transform your dog." I can't believe I bought them. She sniffed and turned away.

Today I traded 3 points in for no math. Also I get to use my chemistry set. The points are for like privileges like 2 points you can get a snow ball. Those are the points and what you can do with them.

Today I got wizerd chess.I havent played it yet but when mom gets back i will be abell to play it. I will have a lot of fun.It might be harder then regulr chess.We have ruls in home schooling now.I know that was random.

burf-day

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I have been really busy. It was my birth-day a couple of weeks ago and i had an okay day. I was in West Virginia all day and then came home to a soccer game. We won the soccer game so that was good. I take gymnastics so i could do a really cool throw in/front-handspring. Everyone thought the throw in was so cool and it was fun to watch. My parents gave me money to Best Buy for my birth-day and i bought a camera. Overall i had a good birthday.
