This has been a busier month than usual. Emily wanted D. Rowe's for her birthday dinner so I ate my fill of sweet potato fries! The next morning, we got donuts for breakfast and cake for dessert at lunch to celebrate. We did all of this before her birthday because Dad and I went to Springfield for a volleyball tournament. We got 2nd in the tournament!!! We played "the Furnaces" (Performance) for first and lost. The medals also didn't come in because of a delay so we hope to get them sometime soon.
Mom and I headed to Kansas City for another volleyball tournament. We got second in pool play but lost in the first round of the gold bracket. The best part of the weekend was that Mom took me to Jill's house and I got to see Ale (and get licked by her!) We also went to an ice cream shop that was really good but empty so we were able to eat inside with Jill and Lila and her mom. We got Fazoli's and brought it back to Jill's house for more Ale puppy love!
I have been working hard at school and it sometimes wears me out! One day, I couldn't think of the word milk, and I could only come up with "white water." I need some sleep! I did make the A Honor Roll though.
One weekend, Mom signed Emily and me up to do an Optimist Club hunt. It was a lot like geocaching and started out fun but took a long time. We had to find 10 locations and different parks and read a line for their creed. With a lot of driving around and walking, we ended up finishing it. Emily won a gift card!
Our family did pictures at our house with Marion. Everyone thinks I look like a 15 year old. We went to Nana Arden's a couple of times with Aunt Lisa's family since the weather has been nicer. Athena also finished up her last puppy class.
Mom also took us to Washington for a day. We hung out with Papa Ron on his back porch and had a really good time. Then we went to Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's house. We ate lunch and opened our birthday presents. I got a new water bottle for volleyball and a whole bunch of new things to decorate my room. I'm really looking forward to redoing my room in neutral colors. We also got to go to Orange Leaf!
After spring break, all schools in the district are going to 5 day weeks. That will be quite a difference. I was getting used to virtual and would almost prefer it. We will see how it goes!
