Super Bowl!

Today is the Super Bowl! My Dad and I are really excited. I'm rooting for the Giants, and he's rooting for the Patriots, who I really don't like. I don't like them because of Tom Brady, who led one of my opponents in Fantasy Football against me. Our friends, the Peeks usually have a giant party, and they're keeping that tradition! But they might not have it because my friend, Zachary, got sick yesterday, so it all depends on how he feels today. I hope he's not! Totally, Zachary told me there would be 79 people there, and maybe more! My brother has just started a cool role-playing game I made up, called weapon adventure. In it you battle the evil king's guards and mythical creatures, but some people and creatures help you! I was sick a few days ago too, and my Dad and I watched the first 3 episodes of Star Wars.

Birthday!

2 days ago, it was my sisters birthday! She is turning 9! I set up an arcade in my room for the guests to play in, and they loved it! It had a Deal or No Deal game, a target game with Nerf guns, a ball-throwing game, and a guess the number game. Deal or No Deal was the most popular. Most of the guests, including me, played a horse game where you buy your own horse and race and the horses can have babies. It was really fun! My horses are named Racer, Athena, Fireball, and Esternia. I don't know why I liked the last name so much. Anyway, Racer and Athena are mates and they both are really good racers! Fireball is their son and I bought Esternia from the market. We watched Homeward Bound and The Toy that Saved Christmas at night. Then we stayed up until 10.

Kalahari

Tomorrow my family and I are going to an indoor water park called Kalahari. We have been there before and it was loads of fun! They have a mini-golf course, a big climbing tree place where there are cannons that you shoot balls out of, and the biggest water park in Ohio! For trips like these, my mom buys us lots and lots of junk food! Rachel and I get to pick out 2 things, and Thomas picks out one. We usually have Doritos, Pringles, and donuts. Last year when we left, I left my favorite pair of shoes there! We got them back, but I'll be more careful this year. I can't wait to go to Kalahari!

Homeschooling

Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've either been to busy or not wanting to write. Today I am going to talk about why I like homeschooling. the first reason is I make lots of new friends who aren't in school and have more time to play with them. The next is I have more time to do extra activities like Soccer and 4H. Another is that the school days aren't (usually) as long. Another is that I only have to do schoolwork that isn't what I need like I am a higher level on Math, but not as high on writing. Mostly it has to do with how much time I have. But maybe my favorite part is, no homework!

Busy day!

Today was a very busy day for my family. First we went to church and it was my friend Michael Shilling's birthday! Hooray! MY family and I went home and had bagel pizzas for lunch while watching the Packers vs. Tigers game on TV. Then my mom went into Aldi and bought things while my Dad took us kids to get Jr. Frostys at Wendys. Then we went into Staples and bought DVD discs for copying our home videos onto. Next we went to the library and listened to a young man named Phillip DuPont play the piano. After that we went to Trinity Church to see their nativity set-up. Then we went to Meijer and my brother and I bought Pokemon cards. He also bought a stuffed animal Wobbufet. I got Torterra Lv. X in my cards!

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.
