My Birthday!

Hello! I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. I'll try to write more.
Guess what? It was my birthday two days ago! Here is a list of the things I got for my birthday:
1. The Karate Kid movie (the new one)
2. perfume
3. lip gloss
4. two nightgowns
5. matching nightgowns for my doll Jolena
6. three pairs of funky knee socks (funky like cool, not like smelly)
7. polka-dot rainboots
8. a gift certificate to Manteo Booksellers
9. headbands
10. a matching dress for me and my doll
11. a card with some money
And mom says there's one more thing coming for me which I don't know what it is. When I get it, I will write to you what it is.
That's all! Goodbye. See you later, alligator!

No snow

Hi, sorry I haven't written. I am in Pennsylvania. But there is no snow. It is cold, though. I am sleeping with Evie in her room at night. She wakes up crying at 6 in the morning, but it feels like midnight to me. She has this little four-wheeler, but I am too big for it. My Tia (that's my Aunt Melody) babysits a boy named Kaiden, and he fusses a lot. Tia has chickens, and I got to go get the egg this morning and maybe there will be more later. We made some snowmen pretzels, but Evie's failed. She ate all the icing. Good-bye, fans!

What I'm doing Labor Day weekend

Well, first day, it was First Friday. First Friday is a festival we do downtown Manteo on the First Friday of every month. We get our faces painted, I got a lizard eating his lunch painted on my arm. After that, we came home.
But what I did YESTERDAY afternoon was super-exciting. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but here are some pictures!



























































P.S. In case you couldn't tell, I jumped off the Festival Park bridge! It was the first time I ever did and I wasn't even scared. (Well, I was a little bit.)

More about Creation

I'm out of school now. And it's seven more days until Creation! And I'm saving up some money to use as Creation money. I have no clue what I'm going to buy with it, though. I'm going to try and earn some more money before Creation. Know how I'm going to do that? I'm going to do a lemonade stand! That's how I'll earn more money. So far I have nine dollars and eighteen cents. So if anyone wants to hire me for a job, I'll come and clean your house or something. But only if you live close.
I'm going to make a Creation Diary. I'm going to write stuff all about Creation and what I did there.
That's all for today!
Bye!

My test

Well, homeschoolers don't have to take a lot of tests like regular schoolers. I have to take a math test and a spelling test every week, but that's it. Every year, I have to take a test called the CAT test (Mom says that's for California Achievement Test and all homeschoolers have to take them). I like to call them the EOGs because it's easier to remember. That's what they take in public school and it means End Of Grade test.
I got my scores in the mail today. I got an A! There were 120 questions about language arts and math. I got 111 right.
That's all for today. Bye!

All about Creation

No, not Creation of the world. It is about a festival that goes on in June. It's a festival about God.
We go to music places, sometimes we go out to Pizza Star for dinner. And for dessert, we go to MiniFreeze.
We camp for eleven days. And it's sooooo fun! My aunt and uncle go, too. (My aunt is about to have a baby!) We go with my Nanny, my mom and dad and sister and brother and Miss Shelley. We meet other people there, like for example, we meet Joshua (Miss Shelley's friend), Uncle John Rollhauser, Mr. Mike, Miss Heidi, Mr. Richard. Some of the people that we see that play music are: BarlowGirl, Newsboys, TobyMac and we go to the children's tent. We watch kids' music like for example, Phredd, Bigsby, Pure Energy, Steven Courtney, Jesse Rothacker, Lisa Landis and the VeggieTales.
That's all for today, folks!
P.S. Here are some pictures of Creation.
