Hello! I finally feel Christmas in the air! We got the Christmas tree up! We decorated some of it. Though we still have more to go. The Christmas tree has had an excitement moment. I was reading to Joe and Julie and Julie leaned against the tree and it fell sideways! None of us were hurt but Mom had left for Europe so I had to help dad get the tree to stand. Some of the ornaments broke but only plain ball ornaments. We were very lucky that the tree didn't fall on us.

We live about a quarter mile away from a church that sells Christmas trees so we walked over there, bought a tree and CARRIED it back to the house.


I hear by announce that my blog will no longer link to Joey's blog. When he actually posts I will continue the link.

Good morning, followers (of my blog)!

I had a decent sleep last night and I am ready to start the day! We are going to mix baking soda with vinegar and see what gas it makes. Then we are going to put a match under it to see what gas it made. if the flame doesn't go out in two seconds that means it's oxygen and if it goes out immediately it means it's carbon dioxide. if the flame grows instantly that means it's hydrogen.

Today I did an attempt to shovel the driveway. I got this idea from gymnastics. We are having our first out-of-state meet. Some of the girls can't go because of financial problems. The other girls and I were thinking we could shovel driveways to get some money to help. The problem is very simple, I am too small and do not have the strength. So I left our drive way to Dad and am not doing the shoveling fundraiser. I might end up selling hot chocolate during rush hour and the bus hour (the bus hour is what I call the time were the public schoolers get home from school).

It has snowed about a foot here with a draft.






Your's truly,

OK maybe the blogging every day didn't work out so good. Might as well try it again! Well last Sunday I altar served again. This time didn't go as well as the last one. The other servers were not as expierienced as the ones I had served with before. One brought the "Procedures for altar servers" card everyone got when we started serving. I am serving again, at the Immaculate Conception mass. I was pretty disappointed that their are only two of us serving at the mass.

I get to skip out on bible school, not that I'm upset about that. I don't like our bible school because it is a family class and they put the kids who are behind on the sacraments with those of us who are up to speed in the religion. They also have this thing going on about how to pray and how we need to get a "Prayer table" we actually got the prayer table but now we "need" to get a candle for it. Dad told me that the class would actually arrive at 6:30 and go to the church at 7:00. I think that if we need an emergency altar server, two of the students in bible school are trained altar servers and I'm pretty sure that the teacher would let me ask them to serve if the church needed them.

At Olympic we are doing a secret Santa. We have to get our person two presents. One of a five dollar value and one of a ten dollar value. We need to deliver the first present in the 7th to the 12th then the last present needs to be delivered at the potluck party. I have already delivered my first present to ***. I created a little gift bag at Creative Kid Stuff. It has a mini slinky, a bag of fancy marbles, a candy cane and what I call a popper. A popper is a little rubber toy that you flip inside out, put it on the ground and it pops back up (usually about 4 feet up in the air. I have to get really crafty with my Secret Santa-ing because at Mara's party everyone except for two other girls and I. So I need to be really secretive.
