The First Day of 2010

Today is the first day of the new year. We went to Ampa and Grandma's house and saw the Penn State game. We had hot dogs, watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, and pineapple. We also had soda and lunch meat. Penn State won 19-17 against LSU. And all I did was watch TV in Grandma and Ampa's room. We were all dressed in Penn State clothes.

Polar Express Night at the Blain Library

Mrs. O'Toole was reading the Polar Express to us. We got silver bells that jingle like our hearts.

Lots of kids were here. We enjoyed the story. I was wearing my polar bear pjs for the Polar Express. Marc was wearing polar bear pjs too! I saw a first grader that I knew. I saw him at school one day, then I saw him at the library.

I was making reindeer food for Santa's reindeer. Rudolph would like it. I put sprinkles and seeds and oats into a bag. Reindeer like all these things and so does Rudolph.

I was sitting on Santa's lap. I told him what I wanted. I also told him that Mrs. Wileman was on the good list. Then Santa gave me a candy cane and I got to pick out a gift. I picked out a dog that has a snowflake on his scarf and I named him Sprocket. He has black spots on his feet, a red scarf, brown eyes, and he has pointy ears. I'm sleeping with him tonight.

Christmas Tree Farm

Yesterday I got my Christmas tree. I had so much fun. We got to cut down the tree ourselves. Daddy started the saw. Then Daddy let me saw the rest. I got half way through. Then Daddy helped me again because I couldn't get through the whole thing. I held onto the tree so Daddy could cut it down. Then we took it back to the tractor. We had a hay ride. I sat on a bundle of hay and took pictures. When we were back at the Christmas tree farm, they used a tree shaker to shake all the loose needles off. Then they wrapped the Christmas tree with the wrapper machine. Then we talked to Mrs. Conaway and gave her the money. Then we picked out a wreath. Today we decorated the tree and put the lights on. We needed to replace a bulb. Then we went shopping in the afternoon. We got replacement lightbulbs and gifts.

The 1st day of November

Today I went to church and did my presentation at church. Then we got to go to Grandma's house. My friends were playing stick fort. Emma and Sway built a rock fort that looked like a volcano. Sway was making a hole in the middle of the volcano and Emma was making the plans. The boys were making a stick fort and Jacob was making the walls. When Memphis left, me and Jacob were the only boys left at Grandma's house, but Emma was the only girl left and we played a game.

Getting Ear Surgery

Having ear surgery isn't really that fun. They put you to sleep whenever they put the tubes in. Whenever they put the tubes in, they put a little hole in your ear. Then usually they fall out in a year. I brought my Penguin to the surgery place when I got my tubes. I had to wear a mask when they put me to sleep. It took about 10-15 minutes. When I was done, we went to McDonalds and I had pancakes and sausage.

Today at School

Today at school in the morning we had no special! Mrs. Cassner didn't come either. We did more silent reading. Then after we finished that we went back to the SmartBoard and did calendar. I was light technician today. I did not have a calendar job. Calendar Cop was Dominick. After calendar we did our math activity for the day. After that we went back to our seats to start math. When we were done with math, we used kind of like a theater to do a problem solving game. After the game we had a little walk around the school. Then we went to lunch and recess. After recess, we did writing. We did a graphic organizer about our bedrooms. After that, we did independent work. Whenever we were done with our work, we got ready for home. Then at 2:00, Mrs. Snyder left for a dentist appointment. Mrs. Weaver came in to our room. We played a game with Mrs. Weaver that was like a hypnotizing game. Then they called dismissal for 4th and 5th grade, then kindergarten, then 1st, 2nd, 3rd all together. When everyone left they called walkers and I went to Aunt Risa's and jumped on the jumpy thingy.

The Street Fair

We had a fun time at the Street Fair. I got to play many games. I didn't do the Big Wheel race this year or the bike race because I was at my soccer game. I got some blue glow in the dark slime. It is really sticky. Shane and I made a squirrel out of markers and our hands. We colored the marker on our hand and put our hand on the paper. Then it would make the body, head, and other stuff. Some kids used their imaginations. One of the kids made a giraffe and one made a cow. We used the sketch of the pig. Mommy made a pig. I rode my scooter all afternoon. I was really tired when we got home. It was a good day. I had fun.
