The Thin Mint Sprint/ Duluth

This morning I had a race called the Thin Mint Sprint sponsored by the Girl Scouts. Guess what... I got 1st place!!! I was SOOOOO excited after I won! When I went back home I went to the mall to get some new school clothes at Hollister. I got a new plaid shirt and a new Hollister bag. After the mall, I went to Duluth with my brother and dad for my aunt's, and my cousin's graduation parties. My cousin graduating from Hogh School, and ny aunt finishing her Doctorate. Now I have to call her Dr. Cindy. Lol! There we went camping, and egget hunting! It was so much fun in Duluth!

After the Benton County Fair

I just got back from the Benton County Fair! It was SOOOO much fun! We looked at all of the animals like rabbits, birds, ducks, fish, sheep, goats, mules, horses, pigs, hogs, porcipines, dogs, cats, and even some peacocks! We also got mini donuts, and carmel corn to take home. I bought a pair of red earrings, and also got an American flag. We also went to the consumer booths and played games, got free cards, pencils, and candy, and even got some Mary Kay make-up remover. After the fair we got Subway because my dad had to get to his meeting in 15 minutes. I got a 6-inch itanian sandwich, with tomatoes, ham, black olives, pickles, and oil. (My usual.) After that we went home and ate our lunch and continued a regular day in the life of Kayla.

SFX Helping

Today I went to St. Francis Xavier school to help my grandma because she's the secretary there! We worked on stamping books and unboxing books. It sounds the opposite of fun but it's actually tons of fun! Then we went to Coborn's to pick-up chicken for a quick lunch. The chicken tasted really good, too! We then got to work on taking inventory for the school year ahead and started delivering books that we stamped to classrooms. We have the Fall Festival at SFX every fall, so I got to see all the prizes and silent action items ahead of time! I had my eye on some rocks that were really pretty! They had a bowl with some really pretty amthyst, marble, layer rock, and Fool's Gold in it! I have a rock collection so these rocks really interest me! On Thursday I'm going back to SFX to help again after going to the Benton County Fair tommorow! We go there every year to see the animals, games, and booths that they show paintings, old antiques, and have companies like Creative Memories scrapbooking company sell things. I can't wait!

What a...surprising evening

What a... surprising evening. Tonight we went to the mall to return my brother's Rip Stick that he was way too whoosed {WUh-sed} to try out! :P We also needed to return my sister's shoes she bought from Gymboree. We ended up with new eye shadow fir me, cleaning supplies, Coraline the movie, a white necklace for me, pens, Gymboree clothes and a pair of shoes, paper plates, some snacks, multi-colored bracelets, a dumb Bratz doll my sister bought, and a stupid Mario Kart electronic remote-controled racecar toy. Two things is enough for me, though! When we got home we opened up, and put away our things. Then while dad went to mow the lawn, we put in Coraline. After about a half hour of the movie the doorbell rang, we opened it, and it was Jake, Molly, and their mom and dad from Texas, along with my grandma and grandpa! They are my second cousins. While Cira freaked out and licked our guests, the adults were outside drinking beverages and chatting, while Molly who's 17, Jake who's 14, Evan, Lexie, and I watched Coraline inside. Jake and Evan worked on his Mario race car toy while they watched Coralie, too. When the movie was over, the adults came in and took pictures of all of us. Then Molly, Jake, their mom and dad, and my grandma and grandpa drove back to my grandma and grandpa's house where they'd be staying while they were in Minnesota. All in all, it was an eventful evening.

Michael Jackson Maniac

I love Michael Jackson music SOOOOOOO much! My favorite song of his would have to be Rock With You because it has a soft and sweet vibe, and then shows a jazzy, smooth side. When I took the "What Michael Jackson Song Are You?" on Facebook, I got Rock With You, too, so that was funny to me! :0) Comment what you fav MJ song is. I would love to read them!

Hidden Haven Resort-Big Bass Lake 2009

Beautiful Sunset


Huge Walleye!


The Michael Jackson Family


All of the cousins

Fishing!

Today I just got back from Hidden Haven Resort; the lake I was talking about earlier. I'm really sad that my week of freedom is over, but still happy to be home and being able to see my family again. While we were there we deffinetly had a crazy, exciting, fun, and surprising week! We went swimming, paddel boating, tanned, played badminton, had a bonfire, and most of all... fished 90% of the time we were there! When the weather turned cold we played dominoes, read by the fire, cuddled up on the couch with a blanket, played card games, and most of all... still... went fishing with our raingear on! On party nights, pink flamingo/Michael Jackson, princess, and baby shower nights, we had the most excitment and surprises. On pink flamingo night slash Michael Jackson, we all dressed up as Michael Jackson and his family. My cousin Andrea was Michael, I was Paris, and my aunt Paula was Blanket. It was so hilarious! The day we laft was soooooooo sad! I was glad that I would be sble to see my puppy Cira, again, though! I am so excited, already, for next year!

I'm off! Today is the day I'm leaving for Hidden Haven resort! In two hours, my dad is going to drive me half-way towards my aunt's house, and my aunt Melissa, or Missy as we like to call her, will take me from there. I will try to blog while I'm there, but I might not be able to access a laptop there. I'll try, though! If I can't blog while there, I will blog about my fun week at the lake when I get back! See you!

So Excited for Hidden Haven

I am so excited for Hidden Haven resort, or Moose Lake as I call it, beause we're leaving on Saturday! Only two more days! Missy, my aunt, is picking me up at 12:00 to head off on the road for the three hour drive to the lake! It's such a long drive! I guess I'll just have to deal with the drive, though. I have mild car-sickness, so I'd better sit in the backseat, just in case. I am already packing the millions of things on my list, that I have to bring with! I am already half-way done! I will chat with you soon! See Ya!

A Shopping Day

Today my whole family went to the Crossroad's mall to go shopping! It's really exciting when we go, because we don't go often. I got two dresses and jewelry for the themed card nights we have at the lake I go to every year with my relatives on my dad's side, and NO PARENTS! I got one dress for the princess themed night, and a dress for the pink flamingo night we have! I also got pink jewelry for the pink flamingo night, including glittery pink eyeshadow, pink dangly earrings and a pink feather clip for my hair. For princess night, I got a silver tiara, earrings, and a pearl bracelet! It was so much fun going shopping!

After the 4th of July

The 4th if July fireworks were amazing! We parked in a friend of my dad's driveway, and walked down to the V.I.P spot for us. When the fireworks started, it was already amazing! There were splashes of red, green, purple, blue, white, pink, orange, and yellow! There were the original fade-out fireworks, diamonds, smiley-faces, hearts, sparks, twizzlers, loud booms, and almost every other firework you could think of, shooting into the sky! The grand finale was the best of all! There were fade-outs at the bottom, a little above the trees. Big booms in the middle, popping like crazy, and smiley-faces, hearts, and more booms at the top! The grand finale itself lasted five minutes, and the whole fireworks show lasted over 30 minutes! We had the best spot to watch, I was amazed by every little firework! The fireworks were absolutely fantastic! I was sad when the 4th of July ended, but excited for what next year will bring!

Happy 4th of July

This morning I took a shower, did my hair in red and blue binders, tossed on my 4th of July 2009 shirt my mom bought me, and put on my Independence bracelet I made just for today! Later I'm going to be going to Wilson Park to watch the fireworks! We even got V.I.P. seating tickets! We are going to eat a dinner of ham steaks, corn on the cob, and watermelon, and then at 9:15, go see fireworks! I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!

An Eventful Day

Today My dad, sister, brother, and I went strawberry picking this morning. Although we had to wait a half hour just to get a single row to pick and the bugs wee biting like crazy, it was very fun picking! Later, we went swimming in our new big pool, and playing with our giant squirt guns. We had a lot of fun! Later, at 8 o'clock we're going to go to the St. Joe fireworks and street dance before tommorow's 4th of July fireworks at Wilson Park. I'm so very excited!

We usually have a picnic before we go for lunch, and go swimming! We bought a new big blue Intex pool. It's 10 feet around, and 21/2 feet deep! It's deffinetly the biggest pool we've ever had! We are going to have a lot of fun on the 4th of July!

A Welcome-back Gift

Whenn I got back from my grandma's and Joanie's, (where I stayed for three days) I unpacked and got ready for the next day's Rapids River Food Fest, Ducky races, and even a camping trip in my backyard!
The next day I woke up, and went to go eat a breakfast of a Food Club toaster pastry. After breakfast, my brother and sister went downstairs to play games until Lexie had to go to her Art As You Like it birthday party for her friend Julia. Then I went up, and ate lunch with my pajamas on. My mom told me to go get dressed after lunch, so I went in my room, and listened to my I-pod loud, and watched my least favorite TV show, The Suite Life: On Deck. When I was done with making my bed, and getting dressed, it was allready 5:00. Suddenly, my mom called for dinner. We had hot dogs and chips fpr dinner. After dinner we went to the Food Fest and Ducky Races. There, we waded in the water, and waited for the duckies to start. When they started, it looked like a giant, yellow, bumble bee was floating the water. There were over 1,100 duckies bought! My number was 158, and I was hoping for some luck to get 1-8th place, or last place, which also wins. When the duck names were called, all I remember is, first was number 1028, and last was number 4. Our family didn't win, but we still like to go there every year. After, we went to Dairy Queen for something to eat, instead of the really greasy, fattening food, there. I got a ice cream cup, and Laxie and Evan got chocolate sundaes. We went home after that, and went to go set-up in our tent that we put up after dinner. I got comfortable, and eventually fell asleep after watching Kung Fu Panda, (the movie I hate, and my sister loves) on our portable DVD player. We had a very peaceful night of sleep. (:

Joanie's House

Today I am at my aunt, Joanie's house because my dad is at a meeting in St. Paul, and I wanted to see her again. We did a lot of fun stuff! We went strawberry picking, and I got a wood tick. :X Then we went back home and made strawberry jam. We ate spaghetti for dinner, and later we're going to visit Rachel and Tanya to give them jam. Tommorow I'm having a spa day at Joan's work and I'm going to go see Up with grandma. I will have SO much fun! C U L8r!

My Ruttgers Vacation (Part 3)

We put our cart away after golfing all nine holes. I had mosquito bites everywhere after! We drove back to our villa after, and put on warm clothes for the bonfire, and singer that night. He was a very nice singer, and I really enjoyed him. We fell asleep very peacefully that night.
The next morning we woke up early, ate breakfast in our villa quickly, and packed up to go home. We all hoped in the car, and I watched a movie until we got to Sam and Danni's pet spa to pick up Cira. When we walked in, I told the front desk lady that I was Cira's owner. She immidiately started peeing all over the floor in excitment. (X We put her in the car, and she was just licking everyone in excitment. We drove home with Cira sitting on my lap, and with me thinking about our Ruttgers trip 2010.

My Ruttgers Vacation (Part 2)

We played around for quite some time, and then my mom and brother headed back to the villa to rest. My dad used a yellow fun bug to pull us to the water trampoline to bounce. When we got there, we bounced and I jumped off a few times before we headed back. My dad was very tired by the time he pulled us back to shore. We went swimming in the outdoor pool after, and I practiced my strokes while my sister practiced 'swimming' with her life jacket on. We headed back to our villa and showered off for lunch after swimming. We went to go shopping after that, and I bought a TY stuffed animal for my collection that looked just like my dog Cira, since I missed her so much. We had to drop her off at Sam and Danni's pet spa to stay while we were on vacation. After shopping we went to the sandcastle building contest where we were given a list of things to find to put on our sand castle. We built a shark. After time was up, a judge came around and looked at each creation. I was so mad because one family saw our shark and made their own shark! I was fine though because everyone's sand sculpture beside ours was obviously terrible!He then announced the winners. "3rd place goes to the hammerhead shark, and Ruttger's mascot!" "2nd place goes to the happy camper family for Ruttgers castle!" I was sure we would be first now! "And finally 1st goes to the Ruttgers Lodge creation!" I was so pissed off... Those castles all had to do with Ruttgers, so they automatically won! Aggghhh! All the people that walked by during the contest kept raving that ours was the best and it got their best vote. My whole family was so mad that we got totally robbed in that competition! We went back to our villa after, and got ready for dinner at Zigs again. I got pizza and french fries for dinner that day for a change. After dinner we went to play some tennis with our rackets before going to golf. I drove the cart the whole way without killing anyone! (:

My Ruttgers Vacation

Ruttgers was so much fun this year! After we left we were all anxious to get there after about 10 minutes of driving. I got a little bit carsick too, and mom had to pull down the window for me... When we finally got there, we were prancing and dancing around because we finally arrived at Ruttgers Bay Lake! When we first stepped inside our villa we would be staying in for the next three days we were all awed in how beautiful it was! We knew we would really enjoybour stay. We then unpacked our things and headed off to Zigs for dinner. We got hamburgers and my dad got a mexicana chicken wrap. It was soooooo good! Especially the french fries we got with it! Since it was Father's Day weekend, we got all our food free! After dinner, we went to the lodge gift shop to look around. I decided to get two postcards to write out and send to my grandparents. I thought they would really appreciate that. We then went back to our villa and just relaxed for the next hour or so. Since family bingo was tonight, we headed there. We played many games of regular, BO, Texas T, and four corners bingo games. Then we played blackout bingo. So far my family hadn't won any games, and I thought I would when I had only one space to cover. Instead of calling O-70 like I needed, he called B-10 and a college student won the $321.50 jackpot. ): I was very dissapointed I didn't win, but it was okay. We went back to our villa and all of us drifted to sleep.
The next morning we went straight to the lodge buffet for breakfast. They had every kind of fruit, pastries, cereals, bacon, eggs, omlets, pancakes, and waffles to choose from there. We filled our plates with whatever we wanted and headed to our table to eat. We chattered away while we ate. From the buffet, we went straight back to our villa. We tanned outside waiting for the sun to warm up so we could go swimming. We then got our swimsuits on, and went down to the beach to swim. When we got there we jumped and splashed in the now warm water.

Excited for Ruttgers



Today I am so excited because on Friday we are going to go to Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge! It will be great there! We get to swim, go golfing, build sandcastles, play beach volleyball, play tennis, go out to eat, tan, go fishing, go boating, have a campfire, have a singer sing to us by the campfire, and even join in on a family bingo night! Ruttgers will be the best vacation of the summer! I am packing right now, the things that I won't use before Friday, because it's only Wednesday today! I can't wait! The only thing that is dissapointing is that Cira, my dog, isn't allowed there. So, she's going to Sam and Danni's pet spa in Sauk Rapids. I thing that place would fit Cira nicely, tee-hee! :D

Monday's Tennis Lessons

Today I had tennis lessons! They are always really fun! We are working on skills still, although I am in the Intermediate classes. We have seven kids in the class, and only two other than me can hit the ball over the net! I mean, I bet these kids didn't even take the beginner, and just skipped to Intermediate! It makes me very angry at times because I always get stuck with the same girl on my team, so I always lose because of her! Well, I will just have to deal with it and hope that the one on one games come soon. I am very good at the one on one games that I play with my mom and brother when I practice. I am hoping that next year we will get some more advanced players to join. I am still having a ton of fun though because tennis is my most favorite sport in the entire world so, it's all good! Peace out! :D

Start of the Fun Fest

Today, straight away in the morning, my dad dropped me off at the parade sighting, where my dad set up a blanket and chairs just two hours before. He told me to stay there until they came an hour later! After they arrived and the parade started, my brother and sister started calling at the people on the floats asking for candy! It was SO embarrasing! They were like, "Hey! Candy! Here, here! Most kids just sat there and waited, but of course my sibling were jumping up and down in the streets! Well, I have to go to the fireworks and street dance that end the second day of the Sartell Summer Fest! :D

After the Mayor's 1k

Wow! The 1k race was really fun! I got 5th place out of everyone there! It really helped that I've been practicing! I'm really very proud of myself. After I finished I got a medal that said 'Sartell Summer Fest, Kids 1k Run' on it. It's really cool! One thing that I'm really dissapointed about the Apple Kid Duathalon is that I got a really cool medal for the Summer Fest 1k race, and got a stupid 'Participation' ribbon for the real, large, known, name-branded Apple Kid Duathalon! After the race, my dad said that he was really excited to see me in the front of all the kids! He even gave me a trophy he got engraved! It was so sweet! It ingraved;
KAYLA OLSON
2009 OLSON FAMILY
RUNNING CHAMP
Some people may think that's a little bit cheesy, but I think it's still very sweet of him! :D My dad and I are looking for other races for me to participate in.
Tommorow is the Sartell Summer Fest Parade where they throw all sorts of candy, bands play, and there are all sorts of floats and cool, decorated trucks and cars! Cira is even coming, too! I can't wait for the parade and the rest of the Sartell Summer Fest! :D

Before The Mayor's 1k

I am excited and a little bit scared of how I'll do today after the Maror's 1k. It's 1:30 and the race starts at 7:00, so I don't really have to really worry for quite some time now. I am deffinetly hoping that I succeed my goal of 10th place of higher, but I'm just not sure. I think there's 8-14 year old kids, so then I will deffinetly succeed that, if I'm going up against 8-year olds! Lol! :D

Mayor's 1k Excitment



Tommorow is the Mayor's 1k and I am SO excited for it! I have been practicing for quite a while now and am hoping to do well! Every day for the past week and a half I have been actually doing a little bit more thatn the actual race, and can do it in about three minutes. Hopefully, I will be close to first, but I will not be dissapointed in myself if it goes the otherway because it's only my second race, with the Apple Kid Duathalon I got 5th for 11-year old girls. I am really excited for tommorow!!!! :D

SFX Helping

Today I helped my grandma at St. Francis Xavier school. It was actually pretty fun! I shredded her check and important papers, then we opened up loads of boxes and sepperated them into classroom boxes, and then delivered them to the correct classrooms. That took a whole three hours out of four. After that, we went to shred some more and sort mail. My mom cme after that and took me home to eat after that. Later this week, or sometime next week, I'll go back to help, again. Next time though, we're going to go out for lunch. Yummy-yummy! :D

The First Monday of Summer

Well, it's Monday...
This morning I woke up, still tired, to my dad yelling that my brother is going to the doctor to get his physical and my mom is going to get her tennis shot. My dad said that I have to wait until my sister wakes up to eat. lX
So, I just decided to read more of Twilight. I've already read the whole series thouroughly, but their the best books in the world, so I'm going to read them over again! (: On Wednesday I have tennis classes! I'm in the Intermediate, and it will be SO MUCH FUN because Halie's doing it too, and it's my favorite sport!
So, I guess right now I'm going to go watch the Pink Panther on Boomerang!
I <3 the Pink Panther!!! :D

Hannah's Birthday Party

The party was SO fun! When we got there we had a tour of her house, then had a scavenger hunt, ate pizza and drank pop, then we opened presents, and then ate cake and ice-cream. After that we played outside and went into their culvert. It was, like, 1/4 a mile long! We also threw water balloons for distance. Hannah's mom then said we should go downstairs and set up for bedtime. After we set up we ate candy and popcorn, drank Gatorade, and watched 'Nick At Night'. We played Charades until Hannah and Chelsea got tired and went to bed. I wanted to go outside and film a terrifying Kayla and Halie show webisode by the neighbor's gargoins they have in the front yard, and culvert, but it was too dark and Hannah's mom would stop us! All night long, Kira, Halie, Kaylee, Hannah W, and I stayed up! We just talked, texted, (although I don't have a phone) played pranks, and just danced and messed-around. One of the pranks we pulled in the morning was wrapping the people that were sleeping in toilet paper, and trying to make them pee by dipping their hands in a glass of warm water. We tried to sneak outside at 3:00 and 5:00, but her mom told us to go back to bed. (we didn't) At six we fell asleep, and at 8:00 Hannah's mom came down and woke us up to go eat breakfast. We had french toast-sticks with strawberries w/ sugar on top. We decided to go outside and play in the culvert for a while. We went inside after that and played sardines. Then, we went into their camper and just talked. My dad came to pick me up for an eye appointment after that. I got contacts and they were very fun getting! I practiced putting them in and taking them out. We went home after that, and I was so tired I took a 5-hour nap!
As you can see, Hannah's b-day party was very fun! I hope I get invited to another one this summer!
(: Kayla

Last Day of School!!!


Today was the last day of school! We took a math final quiz, went outside for kickball in Language Arts, took another Science/Social final quiz, ate lunch, did field day, went inside to look at our time capsules and videos, went back outside for free time, and then went home. During field day, we an our relays and we got second place! Next we did the mile challenge, then we played tug-of-war. After, when we did out time capsules, I saw that my favorites, friends, and what was cool and un-cool has changed A LOT! It was also very fun reading the letter we wrpte ourselves at the beginning of the year, and watching the videos of what our favorite vacation spots are, and so on. I looked so different considering how tall I've gotten and now that I cut my hair shoulder-length. The entire day was deffinetly bittersweet because I love my teachers and will want to see them every day like I usually do in school. Yet, I will be doing so many fun things this summer! I will be going to Ruttger's, Moose Lake, Summerland, The Minnesota Zoo, Monsinger Gardens, sleepovers, movies, ect. I wish we could go to school whenever we want, yet a certain amount of days in a year. Then, I would go sometimes in the summer, so I wouldn't miss my teachers as much. Well, I've been training for the Mayor's 1k. It's about 3/4 of a mile, which will be very easy! It's totally in the bag!!!
Tommorow is Hannah's birthday party and it will be SO fun! I can'y wait for all the fin things we're going to do there! Hopefully I'll win the cake eating contest! (:

***P.S. Here's a picture of me and Halie on the last day of school today!

This morning Mrs. Olson's class challenged us tona rematch, although we are the 5th grade champions! Of course, we won! It was 9-2! It was SO simple!

We also have to do the frisbee toss, the football kick, hurdles, and the baseball pitching. It will be a very long field day, tommorow.

Monday, Funday

Today in gym we practiced for field day. We did really well in the running relay. Pretty much everyone did terrible on the football kick. (kicking the football into the goal post) We also have to do the pole vault! (where you run with the pole then hit the pole on the ground hard to fling yourself threw the air, onto the gymnastics mat. I hope to do well on field day. (X

My Pretty Average Sunday

Today was pretty average.
In the morning I biked over to Maiah's house to work on our math game final project. After, we ate McDonald's french fries and sandwiches for lunch. It was avpretty average day today.

River Bat Sat.

This evening we went to a River Bats game, and they lost. It was still very fun, though! We had popcorn, and water, too. It was free tee day, so I got a free St. Cloud River Bats shirt! It's a little big, but it'll be fine. In the game, we danced whenever music came on, and cheered on Earl Batty Junior when he drove the Betmobile, and the minigames in between innings. Very fun evening, in all! :)

Kickball on Thursday & Friday

Scary, yet fun, on Saturday

Today,
I went to my Grandma's lake lot up in Alexandria, and we helped put the dock in the water. I mostly chattered with grandma, while grandpa and dad worked in 5 feet of water. [:
After the lake we went home and had our pizza we ordered. Then, we had a bonfire and ate some s'mores. The scary part of this whole day was the fact that mom's acting, like, fun. She's letting us have BLT's (bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes between two slices of toast), which she never lets us have. Also the bonfire, because she doesn't like the smell, AND we're either going to the bowling alley, the zoo, or Monsinger gardens this weekend! Gotta get some rest!
zzz....

After the Apple Kid Duathalon

Wow! I just finished the Apple Kid Duathalon...and got 5th place in 11-year old girls! I'm just so proud of myself for doing this! When the bullet shot into the sky, and everyone started off, I thought of how hard I trained, and I just took off. After the first 1/2 mile, I was pretty tired. Then, when I hopped on my bike, I was so energized! After the hard bike ride, I was REALLY tired. I felt all better when I saw my family at the gate cheering me on, my dad taking pictures. I ran the last 1/2 mile, and got my ribbon. I then saw my dad and I ran to him. He told me he was so proud.... I even cried a little bit under my sunglasses. I am very proud of myself, truly. Right now I'm still tired, and mt legs feel like Jello, too. I will deffinetly try this again next year. (:

13 Lap Fun

Today was great because of a lot of things. First, the funnies. Someone put a devil sticker on Paige's picture! Ha ha ha! Also, Paige's fish, Phelps, died. Although it's sad, thst was really funny. Plus Phelps is the STUPIDEST name I've ever heard! Today, I ran a 1/2 mile, biked 13 laps, then ran another 1/2 mile with Ali Wicklund, who lives across the street. It was a great day!

Waiting for my vacations

Today,
I'm thinking about my vacations going on this summer! First we go to Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge. Second, we just I go to what used to be Moose Lake, but now we're going to, like, the Bear Creek Lodge or something. Then in our spare time, we go to the Mall of America, Summerland, and the Minnesota Zoo.
It will be great being so busy this summer! I can not wait for summer!

I have to run around the block 1 time, bike around the block 5 timed, then run around the block another time. I bike one more lap every day. So tommorow I bike 6 times around the block.

Friday Fun

It was awesome today!
We had a picnic and it was reslly fun! We got watermelon, chips, and hamburgers. We even got free Delta water! It was thriller day today, too! We were going to go outside, but it rained so we stayed inside and played games indoors. ): It was still pretty fun... Well, pretty fun day!

School and Soccer on Thursday

Today was great!
In math we did this mystery map with ordered pairs and mine was called Muaui Luai Sea of Japan and it was all about water and the Endless Ocean. In Language Arts we did our spelling test that was so easy, and we read our novel we're reading called Williwaw. It's actully pretty good! In Science we took the Science Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments test and some questions were so easy and some were harder and more challenging. Plus I write too much, and in the type in your answer questions, I ran out of characters to write in. In gym we went to the tennis courts and played tennis, and that was really fun too. After school I went to soccer and we played England. We lost 1-8 but we tried really hard. Colin wasn't here again because he has another soccer team, apparently. It was our last day so he gave a lecture about summer recreation soccer, and the 7th grade physical, although I'm only in 5th grade... All in all, I love thursdays!

Soccer on Wednesday (::)

Today,
we lost soccer. I'm sad... ):
We played team Norway that's only lost once from USA yesterday. I'm team Brazil and the only reason we lost was because Colin wasn't here!
This one kid on that team that's a 6th grader called me a pansy, and said I'm scared of him, which was totally not true! We ran the mile in gym today and I got 8 minutes and 10 seconds which is four laps around the football field. I beat more than 3/4 of my class, and have an average of a presidential award and/or reputation. (:

My Tuesday Morning Sunshine

Today,
when I woke up to the sound of my stupid beeping clock I slammed it off as hard as I could. I was sonangry at my dad last night! He only lowered my punishment to four days instead of two before I laid DOWN on the couch with Cira, which mom says is SO bad! Agh! Soccer today is supposed to get rained on, so mom said to not go if the happens. I'm so going to go anyways! Rrrgh!

Soccer on Monday

Today,
I had soccer. It was really fun, but we lost 7:0. We only lost because our two best players; Colin who is the BEST goalie and when he saves it, takes it all the way down the field and shoots it into the goal, and Logan who is an excellent forward and kicks other peoples shins, were gone. I'm dissapointed. ): I also kicked a 6th grader named Nick's shin and he fell to the ground. (:
So, not the best day, yet not the worst. I'm not really hungry because I was in Stock Market and we went to Prime Vest today and got pizza and took a tour, so I'm going to go eat some raspberry yogurt for an excuse for dinner now...

Mother's Day 2 ):

So, it's later on Mother's Day and just because I "backsassed" my mom, I lose the computer and Wii for a week. My mom said that was a harsh punishment from my dad, and told me to ask him for like only one day because Evan backsassed mom too, and splattered ink from a leaky pen, all over Lexie and our livingroom. (long story l:) So, I'm going to go ask him for a shorter time later.
