We have had a lot of snow and ice and cold this winter, and a lot of early outs, late starts, and snow days from school. It has made it hard to want to go to school consistently!
I have used this extra time to be with friends! I have gone to Madelyn's house for a sleepover, and had Ella spend the night multiple times. One snow day, Madelyn and Lila came over to play. I have still continued with piano lessons and choir. I also got to start another volleyball clinic. It's not with Molly Taylor, but another volleyball league. I don't care-I love all things volleyball! Mom took Emily and me to get our 10 and 5 year pictures taken.
We missed a lot of days at EEE so it made it hard to be ready for the Learning Fair. I had an animation class where we took still pictures of a scene to make a movie. Our group based ours off of The Little Red Hen, but made it a robot instead. I had a lot of fun putting it together and showing it off.
I've also been busy losing teeth, or at least parts of teeth. They are tending to come out in fragments. Either way, I'll take the Tooth Fairy money!
We went to Washington on 2/2 with Mom. We were finally able to celebrate Christmas with Papa Ron which was really nice. Then, Emily and I went to Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's to spend the night while Mom went to a party with Papa Ron. We love being parent-free!
Emily had her first friend birthday party at Flipz and I got to go. It was a joint party with another one of her friends whose mom is having a baby so she got to have it early in the month. At first I thought it was baby-ish, her friends has an older sister (Kaitlyn) who is my age. Instant friends! I had a blast jumping in the foam pit and running around.
I celebrated my birthday at school on the 13th since we didn't have school on my birthday and the day before was Valentine's day. I was thrilled to bring donuts! We also had student council that afternoon as well. At our Valentine's party, we made galaxy jars. Mom and I were off on my birthday, and we did a lot of shopping for our family birthday party. Unfortunately, we had another big snow so Dad got out early and Emily needed to be picked up sooner. Mom and Dad gave me the option of staying home alone for the hour they were gone. After being lectured on what to do and not to do, I stayed with Molly and read Harry Potter. I started the series about 2 weeks ago and I am already on book 5! I can't get enough books!!!
I am 10 Years Old!!!
