Hello,

Wednesday is never that exciting at the Leibig house. I don't have gymnastics and nobody has to go anywhere.

I've been studying logic recently. It's called the fallacy detective. On Tuesday we have go to bible school. It is not the best bible school in the world. It makes faith seem complicated. Anyway, we were playing jeopardy with cards that ask a question so it isn't really jeopardy. Our really pay much attention to how much attention to how much points each one is worth. The other team had to say one beatitude so they ran to the back of the classroom where a sign with all the beatitudes was kept and they memorized one. It was very unjust. Every time someone complained she committed the red herring fallacy by saying "It's supposed to be fun." She kept on changing the subject on us.

Hello,

For Christmas Joey got a thing called "planet frog, live frog habitat". It sends you a tadpole but they had to wait so the tadpole wouldn't die in the mail. It came yesterday and Joey put it into the frog habitat. The frog habitat has a few plastic plants and a little canyon of which you fill with water. It also has a little cave for the frog to hide in. He put the little tadpole into the habitat and it seems happy. It looks like a little frog body with a long tail. Joey is very happy with his tadpole.

I don't know if I've mentioned this but three weeks ago I got some betta fish. They are in a spare five gallon tank Mom used to put baby angelfish in. I got five female betta fish that I let Julie choose. I don't understand why people always say they're ugly. They have nice little fins, they aren't as big as the boys and they don't have the fins but they are very pretty. Their names are: Alpha (she is pink with purple fins), Beta and Gamma (they are both tan with red fins), Delta, (she is dark purple with red fins), Epsilon (she is gray and when any light hits the scales on her body she shines blue, she has blue and yellow fins). My Male betta fish (his name is Aragon) has a dark purple body (like delta) with light blue at the base of his fins and then the are a beautiful dark red. I've been feeding them blood worms with the occasional flake food. I can't feed them a whole cube of blood worms because they are to small. I have to melt the cube so some of the blood worms can fall off. I feed the betta fish what comes of of the cube and I feed my mom's discus fish the rest of the cube. I found out that the male betta fish at least is sick, he has a disease called rot fin. We have a sponge filter in the tank and we put it inside my moms discus filter so that it could get some of the benevolent bacteria. Unfortunately, we did not keep it in long enough and that the bacteria needs to settle.

I had a pleasant Easter. I got an Easter lily, a Johnny Quest movie, Water balloons and a water balloon pump. I had a water balloon fight with Joey. We had Veil for dinner.

I alter served at all two of the triduum masses and at the good Friday service. The holy Thursday went very well. My favorite part was definitely the washing of the feet. My job as an alter server was to refill the jars with water from the non-working sacristy (where they wash the dishes). When I wasn't doing that I sat by the bowl that people were washing feet with and clean up any water that spilled on the ground. We also had to dump the water out of the bowl into a bin. At the beginning I didn't dump out the water every time because I was told to dump it out when it started to look full. I realized that to keep people's feet from touching the dirty water you need to dump out the dirty water into the bin every time. I also began to move the bowl so people could sit down more easily and get up more easily.


My favorite part of good Friday was when they did the gospel. They had four lectors stand next to the alter. They said the lines of charactors like Peter, the priests and the people of Jerusalem. One lector played Pilate (he was definetly the best) and one said the narrative. The priest played Jesus. They did a really good job of it.


The Easter vigil was really good and I will speak of it in another blog.

Dear readers,
I am blogging during the morning therefore nothing out of the ordinary has occurred. Joey is doing wii fit for his physical education. Julie is watching him. Thomas is playing with the pieces of mouse trap. I am blogging. Yesterday I went to gymnastics and had once again a standard day. I worked on the level six low bar and did ok. I did three level six beam routines without the level six dismount and the backwalkover. Then I worked on those on low beams. I think I will try a level six dismount on the high beam next practice. They are very good.

I had a pretty standard day at gymnastics yesterday.
When I came in the other girls were standing by the window. I do not know why. Then we ran around and jumped on the trampoline and tumble track. My new thing during "free time" is to stand on the vault and do things off of it. I do things like lean back and just let myself fall, front flips, and cart wheels. I am still not couragous enough to do a back flip of the vault. Any way after we stretched we did floor. I did all the skills in the floor routine. then we did vault. I did some god ones and made some improvements. Then I did beam and made five rountines. I got to skip the back walkover and the dismount. Then Gergely gave us free time and I did more vaults. The vault is really a wonderful event. It's quick so when you only have two minutes of free time it is the even to choose. Floor is ok but it takes some time to warm up for diffucult skills. Beam also takes some time to warm up for. It takes to long to put grips on for bar. On vault warming up is unnecessary if you have done it before that same day. So I did some vault and Kristina joined me.

Joey had a friend over today. Dad gave me permission to play with my friend Eliana. We played around a bit out side and we practiced a game of ours, swinging and jumping off. The goal is to go as far as possible. We make a mark for our landings in the sand. Every once and a while we jump off and try to be as graceful as possible.
