Magnificent Mondays!

Today I am thankful for my cats: Ginger, Angel, and Mystery. I am thankful for them because I love them. They let me pet them, and Ginger loves it when I sneak her up to my bed to sleep with me.

What ? Wednesdays

Each week, I am going to start blogging "What I Learned Wednesdays" to write something I learned in the last week. What I learned this week was about a legend based on a true person during the Revolutionary War nicknamed Molly Pitcher. She shot cannon balls at the British and got shot by a musket ball that went through her skirt but did not hurt her!
I also learned how to write a cinquain poem. Here is the one I wrote about my birthday that is in just *16 * days.

Magnificent Mondays!

Every Monday in school we fill out a little sheet of paper and write something we are thankful for and put it in a container. Every month, we draw out of it and read some of the things we have been thankful for. We decided to start putting them on our blogs, too.
Today, I am thankful for my mommy because she loves me.

Homecoming Parade

On Friday we went to the Homecoming parade, but this year I didn't get to catch candy because I rode on the soccer float. It was fun. I waved at my mom. When we got to my next-door neighbor, Forest, who was along the street, I had no more candy to give him. The person right beside me ate a lot of my candy before I could throw it. I realized that in this picture, he is also taking candy out of my bag! I threw the rest to the crowd.

There are pictures of my friend, Ethan from church who was on the high school soccer float and my cousin Michaela on her float. The other float was my favorite one. It said, "We're Hunting the Cards" because the Savannah Savages were playing the Cardinals for Homecoming.

Helping my Parents

Last weekend, we went to help my mom at the Liberty Fall Festival and then we went to Jake's football game, Grandpa and Grandma's anniversary, and a wedding. In my mom's booth, I helped serve samples when I wasn't eating them.

Another day, Conrad, my mom and I walked through a neighborhood in Saint Joe and put American Family door hangers on doors to see if people were interested in insurance.

I have learned a lot about Homemade Gourmet and American Family--if you have any questions about them, just ask me!!

Ginger and Angel in the Sun

This is Angel and Ginger, my kitty-cats, (shhh....don't tell Dad they were in my bedroom). Ginger is lazy and Angel is sleepy. Ginger is licking Angel's ear--I am glad they like each other. I like them because they play with me. I like both of them the same.

Soccer Games!!

We went to Ethan's soccer game on Tuesday and his was right before my game, so it worked out great. We got to eat at Subway in between. We won our game 4-2, and now we are 2-0. Conrad and I are the same color (my mom loves the color we are--she calls it 'periwinkle') but not on the same team. We named our team 'Blue Thunder'.

Piano Lessons

I started piano lessons and they are fun! Conrad is taking lessons, too, but he doesn't like them anymore. I am going to pass him up because I pass my songs every week, and he has a little trouble because he doesn't work very hard.
