Vacations

I love taking vacations. I don't usually go very far away, sometimes into Michigan or Indiana, but once I went to South Dakota and saw Mount Rushmore. What is everyone's favorite vacation that they have ever gone on? And what is the farthest away you have ever been from your home? Anyone can answer this question, but you don't have to.

Christmas traditions

Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for me, so I couldn't write.  I am going to write about my Christmas traditions.  On Christmas eve, we go to my aunt Becky's and have lunch there.  On Christmas day, we read the Christmas story from both Matthew and Luke.  We also go to my Grandma's house and open presents there.  We stay there the entire day.  Our family also opens presents from each other.  The next day(today)we go to Maumee Bay State Park for 3 days with my Dad's family.  

Christmas lights

It's funny how my blog is called My Life, and yet I don't write about my life! That starts now. I like having a contest in my mind about the best light arrangements in our neighborhood when my mom and dad take us out to look at lights. I have to say that the one on Charles street, even though it is not near my home, was the best because it had lights that danced to the music of a certain music station! My dad's friend's house got 2nd place, because it had lots of figures with lights on them. I love looking at Christmas lights, don't you?

Christmas

Sorry I haven't written in such a long time. I've been busy, especially with lots of activities. My question today is: Is Christmas the time Jesus was born, or is it just when you get presents? Is Christmas an important holiday in your life, or is it just too much work? Everybody who reads this, please comment. I would really like to know your opinion!

What is a sport?

Lots of people think some things aren't sports, say golf. My view on this is that anything that there is competition in is a sport. Of course, that would make video games a sport. I would like to ask readers what they think a sport is. Please comment on this and I will also have a survey.

My school classes

My school classes are Latin, math, memory, handwriting, writing, spelling, science, and history. I am spelling words with Latin roots, which is kind of funny. In Latin I am learning the 2nd declension neuter form. I am reviewing averages in math and memorizing a poem called "A Book"by Edgar Guest. I write anything I want to for handwriting and am working on a program called Writing Strands that tells me to write certain things. In science I am learning about birds and in history we just finished Egypt and are on to Mesopotamia.

My pet

I have a pet chinchilla named Jessica. We like calling her Jumping for Joy Jessie. She is very fast and can jump high. Chinchillas are the softest animals in the world, and that is a proven fact.
