Brother's Fort

Ok, so I walk in my brothers room some day. And this lovely fort was waiting for me! He has somehow dragged his matress onto it's side leaning against the wall. He also had his pillows on top for a roof. This was at like, 9 PM. So tonight, I've got basketball, and this afternoon I'm engaged in sewing for a couple hours. I'll try and post what I started on. Sorry I've not posted in so long. Been soooo busy with stuff.... ttyl

Things In My House Thursday #3

For TIMHT, (I know, I've missed about 3 weeks), is my turtle from Mexico. It was a dollar, and my dad was about to try and bargain, but she was poor and had a stand in the middle of the street in the sun. He paid a $1. Apparently, it's handpainted.

Oh, just life

Ok, so I admit it! I lazed around a little today. But at least I got my school done! That's got to count for somethin'.........right? I've been messing around with my kind of new Flickr acount. Playing with editing systems and tweaking pictures. Although I am still mustering up the courage to post more pictures on my photo blog. I do actually take more good pictures than those, I promise. I had basketball practice tonight which was really fun! We finally stopped learning plays and have moved on to the fun stuff! We have a really good team this year, so I love staying busy with that. Also, tomorrow morning is biology lab. It seems to come around every week.... We are going to dissect fruits and veggies. So far, it has kind of been a little boring, but I can't wait until we dissect some real things. A lot of that stuff comes next semester though. Sadly. I know Mary, more 4-H, but just one last thing! Here is a Flickr account of a 4-H forestry guy from another county. The pictures are really worth looking at. That's all I'll ramble on for tonight, hopefully an update tomorrow with the findings of the dissection. sourpatch

Sunday Morning...and 4-H Regional Competition

So here it it, Sunday morning. Watching Scooby Doo and having nothing to do with the drizzle outside. I know, I know, I haven't posted in a while, I'm ashamed.... But today is the day! Or rather yesterday was the day. We had the regional 4-H competition yesterday. My Life Skills team got 3rd out of, oh, maybe 15 teams. Yay! We were happy. And Rachel's Forestry team got 1st! That was a big accomplishment. Also, Rachel got 1st for the individual high score. We were all very excited!! Anyway, enough of 4-H. We went swimming yesterday night after the compeition with friends! It was a blast! I do have another post written up, just haven't posted it yet. sourpatch

Weatherman and Greenscreen

School!

So this week we've started school. We are using BJU DVD's this year. So far, I really life them! I can almost name all of my teachers. Mom is not so thrilled that she is now being called a "facilitator". I have 6 subjects to complete every day, so it's not too bad, but that's including biology lab. I have a lot of homework to complete every day for that. I also started biology lab last week. We looked at cotton, fleece, and something else, I can't remember, but they looked really cool! It was all twisty and tangled looking. sourpatch

Things in My House Thursday #2

This little jewelry box is made, painted, and bought in Mexico. When we made a trip to Mexico we got some souvenirs to take home. I finally picked out a red sun jewelry box and a bobbing head turtle. I put some of my extra change in this thing so that's why the lid is a little "raised". In Mexico, almost everything has a sun on it. You cannot drive through a neighborhood and not see a house with a sun hanging on the wall. I wonder what the motive is for that? Go to MSM to join Things in My House Thursday's! You can sign up for it there!

What Would I Escape With?

Go to MSM to get on the list of What Would I Escape With! So, If I had 10 min. to get out of the house, I would first grab my purse. It contains my camera in it and money. I would grab my Bible along with my diaries from past years (they're very close together). Then I would run upstairs and grab my discs that have my precious pictures burned on them. Or, I might just grab the whole computer, considering I have "invisible moving men" with me. Also with the moving men, I would have them grab the trunk that contains years and years of more family pictures and picture frames. I would also grab my "bear" jewelry box that contains every little thing dear to my heart. Notice I DON'T grab my school books. So, I guess my 10 minutes is almost up, give or take a few minutes. Make sure to go back to MSM and sign up to share What Would I Escape With? sourpatch
