I have been playing a lot of soccer, having practice once
and week and now having games. Our team
is improving, but we don't score a lot of goals. The first two games, we played all boys
teams. Our coach is pretty strict (which
I did not like at first because it wasn't as much fun), but now I really like
and respect her for working us so hard.
I really like when I have done something right and Coach Janet is proud
of me.
I've had several Girl Scouts meetings. We did tie dying and put our names on a
banner with a sewing machine and even learned to tie knots. We have a lot of other fun things coming up.
Mommy took Emily and me to meet up with the Moenkhoffs to go
apple picking. I really enjoyed all the
apples and the fun activities they had on the farm. There were mazes, bounce houses, and
animals. When we got back, I helped
Mommy make an apple pie, apple crisp, apple butter, and applesauce. The applesauce is definitely my favorite!
I didn't have school one day because of teacher meetings and
I spent the day with Nana Arden. She
took me to the library so I could get my truckload of books (which I read in a
week) and played Polly Pockets, and of course, McDonald's! We had McTeacher Night for my school
too. I just can't get enough of that
place!
We did a family trip to the zoo one Saturday. It was a lot of fun seeing all the animals
again, but I really just wanted to go into the gift shops. When we got home, we went to Dr. Chandler's
farm for the school staff party. Charlie
and some older girls were there and they invited me to play volleyball with
them. I also got to go on a long gator
ride around the property. I hated when
we had to leave.
Mommy and I went to a Mizzou volleyball game one
afternoon. I was kind of sad because Ali
didn't play until the last 4 points.
When she went in, I perked up! We
met Papa Rodney and Nana Arden at Orange Leaf later that night for his
birthday. I love my Orange Leaf! In fact, I can't get enough to eat
lately. I think I am going through a
growth spurt.
I went with Mommy to Pastries with Parents at Emily's
school. We have had a couple of play
dates, but it is getting hard to plan them because everyone is so busy in the evenings. Our class went on a field trip to the Audubon
Society and we got to see a lot of birds, and even dissect owl pellets. My favorite part was that I got to use a
clean porta-potty!
Great Wolf Lodge!!!
