Rec Center / Science Class / Photos

So this morning, I had my science class. The class is coming to an end and I'm truly sad about it. I've had so much fun in it, and learned more this year than ever before! It seems I don't have as much time to post as I used to. I am trying though!! :) Then I went with a friend, had a picnic at a park, then took pictures. Check my photo blog in the next day or so to look at some of them. Then we came home, then back out to the park again, a different one. We swung for a while, then headed back to make a salad for the Little Ceasars we had for dinner. Rachel went to clogging. This friend of mine decides she actually likes clogging. It is kind of mesmerizing. Then we went to the rec center where I biked a mile, ran 2 1/2 miles, and did all the weights. It was sure strenuous. Now, here I am, sitting in front of the computer. I better tell you good night and go get some beauty sleep. Tootles, sourpatch

The Visit

The visit with my cousins really went well! My grandma and cousins family went to their first book signing at 9:00 on Saturday. He also went to my aunts book store in the afternoon for another book signing. Bryce did his wonderful speech and presentation on the Civil War twice there and twice at the one earlier. I couldn't stop smiling during the presentation, it was so good. I'm proud of him. We had hamburgers and fries for dinner, too. That was a plus. This Sunday, we went to church, and then Rachel and I came right over to my grandma's house. We organized her closet and got rid of her outdated clothes and things she didn't wear. It looks really good in her closet now! I'm proud of that, too. It turned out good!! There is so much more space in there now! For dinner tonight, my grandma cooked this frozen pizza that she got at Aldi's. It was about $4 each, but it was almost identical to Digornios' $6 pizzas. The brand is Mama Ocozzi. They were really good!! Too bad we don't really go to Aldi's all that much. We use the fundraiser card for Kroger's, so we go there a lot. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with a dental surgeon for a consultation to pull 4 teeth. The orthodontist says I need 4 teeth pulled; although at first I didn't see why that was necessary. I guess they're pull one on each side top and bottom. That still seems like a lot though. I hear that science class has been pretty boring without me. I bring the humor I guess. I've missed it a lot, so I'll be glad to be back again. sourpatch

Science

Nothing much has happened today, except for science. Right now, I'm not exactly sure where mom and Rachel are. Probably at Hancock Fabrics picking out something to back her quilt with. There is pollen EVERYWHERE!! We have the windows open, so I bet there's pollen coming in while we speak, I mean type. I'll try and post later with worthwhile information.

Science Class, 4-H Club, & SGA

This morning I had science class, then I went with Mrs. Ringley to 4-H. (She's my science teacher, and supporter and major contributor to the 4-H Club and 4-H Honor Club) Except we went by Wendy's for some food first. Wendy's is really a nice fast food restaurant; their salads are good, too.... Anyway, back to subject, at 4-H today, Mrs. Winter held a Cooking Chemistry demonstration that was fascinating. She did some baking soda and vinegar demonstrations as well as yeast. I've seen this before, but she did a demonstration with a balloon and bottle; so where the gas blew the balloon up. We also watched a video on Teen Budgeting. It went over debt, credit cards, interest, etc.

Here is the picture of the craft we did:

We took a gardening glove and tucked the thumb in. We then took a little wooden carrot cut-out and colored it orange with a Magic Marker. Then take a piece of green felt and cut it in a carrot top shape. Hot glue the felt to the "carrot". Then take pom poms and hot glue them to the back, for a tail, and to the front for a nose. Don't forget to hot glue the googly eyes as well and you can draw whiskers and a mouth on. Also, stuff the two middle fingers with stuffing, and color them. They are your bunny's ears. Stuff them enough so they can stand up straight. Also, I got glued the carrot in the "pouch" because it kept falling out. Then wal-la! It makes a cute little craft.

Right after 4-H, we have our Student Government Association (SGA) meeting for officers. I was a grade rep and Rachel was previously the treasurer. We had elections, so it turns out that Rachel got President of SGA. I am going to run for grade rep again, as I am not old enough for a higher office. They won't have this election until next year when SGA starts back up again (it ended for the year). They are talking about going to that Incredible Pizza place for a end of year get together. Several seniors are leaving, so that's really sad. We want to squeeze in as much time with them as humanly possible before they go. One of them is going to Ohio for college.... (:sob, sob:)

That's pretty much it. Rachel is pestering me to help her with "taking apart jeans" for quilts and the like. tootles, sourpatch
