The Joys of Strep

Right now I am sitting on the couch on my third day of dealing with strep throat. Unfortunately, being homeschooled means I still have to do school. It is really hard to concentrate right now because I am in and out of fevers too. Usually, I would not care if I got sick for a few days, but it is really nice outside and I really want to be enjoying the weather. I am hoping the be better by the end of the week, because we are supposed to have small group.

Operation MOMS

For our church youth group, we go to something called Operation MOMS. It is packing care packages for the soldiers. Today we went and were put on warehouse duty. Well..most of the time. My friend Kassy and I were put to packing socks into baggies by pairs. So we spent our time folding, stuffing, and squishing socks. 110 pairs of socks to be exact. That is 110 soldiers that will get a new pair of socks before Easter.

Grammar rules

This morning, Dad was typing a message to someone and said "I before e except after c." Caleb the said "But that does not apply to all words, like weird and neighbor." So the new grammar rule in our house is "I before e except after c, unless it's your weird neighbor."

Pictures, Hair cuts, and more warm weather

I went and got my school pictures today. Before pictures, I went to get my hair cut. I just got my layers redone, I did not get it cut short. When we get the pictures back, I will put them up here so that everyone can see them. There is one really cute picture of me. I am sitting on the ground with knees in front of me and I am barefoot. The picture we got of me and Caleb I am taller, which is always a little fight we have. Caleb and I are always battling to see if we can get the picture where that person is taller. Since Caleb is actually taller than me, I really like getting pictures of me being taller.

Mom is still sick, so I did not have piano lessons today. I was not horribly opposed to the idea since I did not practice as much as I should have this week. Today the temperature outside was 85 degrees! I cannot believe it is this warm out in March. It just does not feel right, but I like it a ton.

Happy Pi Day!!

For all the math freaks out there, today is pi day; 3.14. In three years it will be a very special pi day. 3.1415. March fourteenth 2015. Here is a video to a pi song. I love it!

It is a wonderful day outside. Misty has been loving the weather being so nice probably more than me. We were outside today for a while running around. She was highly enjoying catching her frisbee. This is the second day in a row that I can wear shorts/capris. I officially welcome spring!

Walking, Bowties, and Piano stuff

Today we were in Downtown Joliet walking all over. I think we walked 12 or 15 blocks, at least. Did you know it is really hard to find parking there? While we were walking around, Caleb saw a shop that might sell bowties. (If you know Caleb at all, you know that bowties have become a really big deal) So he got his first bowtie today. That made him contest for the whole day.

Before Christmas, my dad and I went to Guitar Center and looked at some programs for my piano that could type out the music I was playing on my piano. Today I was told I would get my program. I was playing on it for a while, but it is really time consuming to learn the program. I figure I can take baby steps.

Jedi Misty

Misty was being cute under a blanket. We call her Jedi dog when she does this. What you cannot see in the picture is Caleb laying on the couch with a blanket and Misty is at his feet.
