A New Appetite (And A Trip)

Lately, I've been eating lots of foods that I haven't eaten in a while.

1. Sphagetti

2. Ceaser salad (premixed)

3. Sloppy Joes ( A.K.A. Mamwitches)

4. Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

5. Steak

6. And much, much more!!!!

On Friday the Gr. 4 and 5 classes went on a year-end trip at school. It was loads of fun! We went to Cave Springs Camp. We all met our three councilors: Mel (Melissa), John, and Alex. We rolled down a hill and played on a play structure for a while. then we got separated into three groups. A councilor would take us to a game. First for my group was The Teeter-Totter. We had to go on this massive teeter-totter (sea-saw) and we had to balance it out using our weight. The trick was that only one person could move at a time. We had to keep it steady and eve for 5-10 seconds. John was the councilor for that activity.
John took us to Alex, then. We went into the forest with Alex. We had to hunt for salamanders and/or frogs. It wasn't weather for frog-hunting. This activity was called The Salamander Hunt. After we found one, we had to makeit a habitat in a bucket. We ould name it if we wanted to, as well. I named mine Sal.
Alex then took us to Mel. We did Orieenting. We had a map of camp and we had this sheet the had squares with diagonal lines through them. We had to use the black X's on our map to find tiles. They were hiding in random places and we had to draw their picture on our sheet. Bonus points were given if me could find the tiles with Mel's initials on them.
We then had lunch and did rolling down the hill and play structure.
The best part of the trip was our hike. It was crazy! We went through rock paths, flower feilds, bushes, streams, and more. We went to this rock cliff that had rock stairs leading down it. They were not man made either. Mel told us a legend about how the stairs got their name. That was really neat! We went down the stairs and talked about the different types of rock that it was made of. We went up the stairs and kept hiking. We then came to a forest up a really steep hill and we all sat on logs. (By th way, we were all together now and not in three groups). We got split into three groups. Mel took one group and we played Deer Hunt. This is where she stands in one spot and closes her eyes while we all go hide. She opens them and whoever she can see from there, is out. Alex and John then took us to a cave. it was neat. They told us about how during World War II, a German who was not against anyone, moved to a afrm and started a buisness. People thought he was a spy so they ran to get him. He hid in the forest. There was a cave/tunnel that he stayed in and we got to go inside of it! That was by far the best hike ever! We hiked back an d loaded the buses. What an amazing trip!

Grammy's House

On the last weekend of April, I went to my Grandmother's house...

I call her Grammy because that's what my mom called her Grandmother.

Anyway, so I was at my "Grammy's" house. It was fun, it was just my Grammy, Mom, Lucas, and Jacob. My dad had to go speak elsewhere. We played outside a lot since Grammy lives by a forest. We went hiking too. We rode our scooters and did chalk drawing, but since we had a rain storm, the chalk drawings washed away. :( My Grammy lives in the U.S. so the drive up (including our supper stop) took 5 hours. It was prettty boring. She lives in Ithaca, New York. We left on Friday after school and got there ruffly about 9:30 pm. My Grammy has boxes full of toys, ones that we gave her and ones from when my mom and Auntie Alli were little.

So as you can see, I had fun!

Old Friends

Yo dudes and dudettes! So I've recently reunited and said good bye too many old friends of mine! Flat Claire (from the previous post) is being sent off. I received an email from my camp councilor!

I miss Flat Claire a whole lot, we had a lot of fun with that little piece of paper!

Sorry 'N' Stuff

Sorry!!!! :( You see, I couldn't blog for a while cause I was super busy lately! I know, I know, excuses, excuses! What can I say! I'm a busy almost-ten-year-old-who's-mom-says-she's-not-allowed-to-turn-ten.

So here's news:

For a while in Feb. I had Strep throat and was on medication. But now I'm feeling much better! Flat Claire is visiting me. my cousin in Halifax, Claire, did a project at school on a book called Flat Stanley about a boy named Stanley, who while sleeping was flattened by a bulletin board and was sent in an envelope and sent back to see a friend in California. So Claire sent me Flat Claire and and now I take pictures of me doing stuff with her and then write a report about the stuff we did and send her back! It is a lot of fun! March Break is great! I went to Dundern Castle for the first time! it was amazingly fun! I loved it! I went to the library to! and spent time with friends and even had a sleepover with a friend!!!!

Ski Trip

I'm so very excited!!!!!! I'm going on my very first Gr. 4-8 school ski trip! See, I've never been skiing before. Lots of people that I've talked to about it, have said that it is horrible and that they hated their school ski trip. But I am very excited!!!! It is on March 5th at Glen Eden. So that is my blog update!

BEAR IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So recently I posted about my dog...
I GOT HER YESTERDAY!!!!!!


I love my dog so much! Here are some things I love about her:

HER FUR

She has such cute little black and silver fur! I love it! It is so shaggy and soft too. I could hold on to her forever!

HER EYES

Her eyes are black and sparkly! I just wish that dogs could see in colour! She has super bushy eyebrows and I love to just stare at her!

HER BEARD

She has a bunch of hair on her chin! It looks like she has a little beard! And she does!

AND MORE

There are lots of other things I like...like her personality but if I wrote the list, this post would be the size of the C.N. Tower!!!!!!

I'm the weirdo!!!

Don't I look Fantastico? NOT!!! I Have a HUGE butt! Today my liitle brothers were dressing up and asked if I wanted to as well! I said sure and now look what a mess I am! All I did was put a wizard gown on and put a pillow in my pants and a pillow on my belly I put 2 rubber balls above the pillow and put a belt underneath the belly to hold it in place, also I wore a frilly purse! I put a HUGE pony tail in and my hair and made it into a bun then tied a purple glove over top and added a flower clip! I kept talking in an accent and I think my family started to get annoyed! I had a lot of fun! Until next time...dun dun duh!

Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve! Are you excited for actual Christmas day? I AM!!!!
Here's a poem that describes how excited I am!

I wish tomorrow was today,
Today was yesterday,
The past is coming,
And the Future is gone!
The opposite song, the opposite song!

I know that presents aren't the most important part of Christmas, that God and family is, but a girl can love her presents can't she?!!?

What is your fave part of Christmas?

I like the warm feeling you get in the morning when your opening presents with the fam!

I love you all, and have a Merry Christmas!

Feliz na vi dad!

Monday is Christmas Eve, only two more sleeps! Are you excited? I am! I am an angel in the church play! Christmas is my favourite time of year!

Sorry that this is such a short post, but please read it!

Dentist Apointment and Teacher Stories

I'm going to start a new thing called "Teacher Stories". My teacher is hilarious and I want to tell you the funny things she says sometimes.
So as most of you know, about a month ago, I got my molar tooth pulled out. It hurt! I had cracked it into THREE pieces! I had to get a spacer today. I was at school in the morning and then was taken out at lunch and went back at last period. My mom talked to my teacher on the playground at the beginning of school today, to tell her about the appointment, she also wrote a note in my agenda in case they didn't get to talk on the playground. My teacher came to my desk, like every morning to check my agenda and saw the note:

Teacher: Yeah, I talked to your mom this morning.
Me: Good.
Teacher (reading the note): Yeah, she doesn't like you...She's taking you out of school at lunch...She won't bring you back if she doesn't like you...Got it.
Me (laughing): Ha ha! Did you talk to her on the playground?
Teacher: Yeah, we looked at embarrassing pictures and made fun of you...
Me: Where did you get embarrassing pictures of me?
Teacher: It's like taking pictures of a tree, it's easy!
Me: But you've never had a camera in this classroom before!
Teacher: My nose is a camera!
Me: Where's the flash button? HUNH?
Teacher: Ok, ok, you got me, I wasn't showing pictures of you to your mom!
ME: I knew it! HA!

Funny hunh?

Christmas

Hey! Merry Almost-Christmas everybody!

For me, Christmas is a very important time of year. In fact, it is my favourite time of year: The presents, shopping, food, treats, family, friends.... But that's not what Christmas is all about. No! Christmas is about joy, happiness and the birth of baby Jesus. So this year I hope ya'll have a good Christmas and that you try to focus on the true meaning of Christmas!



This year for Christmas I want:

• Bratz Movie Star Doll
• game boy games
• scrapbooking stuff
• Game of Life, Twists and turns
• Dream Life Superstar
• and more

What's on your list?
