Christmas time is almost here. Well, it practiclly is. School is out and everyone is happy. Right? Not. For some reason I just don't feel it. I am angry I don't feel it. Perhaps it had to do with something called "my-math-test-I-didn't-know-we-had-and-didn't-study-and-got-the-worst-grade-in-math-I've-ever-gotten". I think that is going to change today, hopefully, because we are going to give to the family in need (read last post) and get Hannah, and go to the birthday suprise (read back like 5 posts or so). Man, I've been waiting for the special birthday thing since before Thanksgiving. I'm excited about Christmas I think. A bit nervous too....I mean Christmas is nerve wracking! I didn't know what I wanted this year but I'm sure what I get will be great. On a brighter note yesterday we did NOTHING (Well I finished up the math test). During Language and Math we just watched the original Miracle On 34 Street, colored version with our pillows and salty snack. We also got a free dress day, yay! We made cowgirl cookies in a jar, Chrtsmas version, and had a $5 giftcard exchange. I had gotten a giftcard from Target. It had a picture of a penguin tanning in the artcic in a lawn chair. It smelled like coconuts. At the end of the giftcard exchange I got a gift card to Sonic. I bought montzerlla sticks and a medium blue coconut slush. Yummy! More updates later.

Woke up in the morning feeling extremely cozy and not ready to get up... did anyway. I went to language arts and realized I hadn't discussed questions I was supposed to with my mom. Went to math and had a test that was a surprise...for me. I didn't see it on the assignment sheet and hadn't studied. It was SO hard!!! I didn't even finish it. But then we had a birthday celebration and I got yummy popcorn, cream soda, skittles, and chips. Yum! Went to science and had a big test and folder check. I had no clue where two papers were...(one was in the trash actually) I'm guessing I'll get a 90, but not sure. So not a good day at school, but I'm still trying to stay cheery. Almost done with school!! On Saturday I'm going to have a busy day. I'm going to pick up Hannah and go do the special birthday thing (If you haven't heard of this before, go back and read a couple posts). Then were going to give some gifts and food to a family in need. There is a little 4 year old girl who doesn't even have a coat and walks to the bus stop wrapped in blankets. :( Thankfully we can spread the love of Jesus and give her a coat and a little toy. I can't wait!! My tooth is almost out and I've heard the tooth fairy is still willimg to come and give us so cizash :) (I meant to spell like that). I'm excited and happy and ready for school to be over! How about you?

Book Reject And Gingerbread men

I read the second book in the Mysterious Benedict Society. I am was very upset. It did not meet my standards. I was so sad. How could a sequel to a marvelous book be so....bad? I guess I liked from page 350 or so okay. I liked Cannonball. He seemed nice. I also liked their adventure when they went to the library to the hotel.

The King (He was a jumbo sized one!) Notice the crown.

Winter Wonderland

  Okay, on a more positive note, we made gingerbread people! Here are some pictures and videos.



Now, get ready for the new most embarrassing moment of my life.
My mom was subbing for a fourth grade science class. I went with her. The activities went by too quickly, so we did math board races. We borrowed 3rd grade math. I went up to compete. And lost. Let me just say in my defense it was long division (takes awhile) and I was doing a problem the divisor being 8 and she was doing 5. And I'm not good at doing math in front of people.
