The Weekend And Other Stuff

A few days ago I made some paper Halloween monsters, Little Brother made one too. I put them up on the window by the front door. (I'll post some pictures later).

This Friday I made some pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, this was my first time baking something by myself (okay not completely by myself, I admit Little Brother stirred a few times, and mom told me what to do at some points--other than that, by myself), it was fun--and tasty.

On Saturday we went to Portland with grandma, we went to OMSI Museum, a vegan place called Red & Black Cafe, and a store called IKEA. I had fun, but it was nice to come back home.

Alright, I guess that's enough for now!

Pineapple Coconut Tart Thing

Galaxy made these yummy pineapple nut things yesterday and today, it has a almond, date and raisin crust, and pineapple and coconut on top. It was yummy.

Stuff

So, I'm still a bit sick, but I'm getting better.
Lately I've been watching movies and sitting on the couch eating Popsicles, I've just finally got on blogger now.
Grandma is over today, so I guess I'd better end this post, just thought I'd post something.

Bye!

Ouchy

Yesterday, I fell back in my roll-around chair (I have a loft bed with a desk underneath, and a pink roll-around chair for it) and bruised my tailbone. It feels better today though. Also I can't help mentioning that, I LOVE my laptop. So far I think it's a keeper.

Laptop

Yesterday I bought myself a laptop (with my saved up birthday money) for $399.99, it has a 14.1" screen and weighs about five pounds. I got it at a Best Buy in Salem and I've been trying it out to make sure I don't need to return it. So far so good. (just thought I might mention that I wrote up this post on my new laptop)

What Has Happened

I been kind of busy sick and lazy, so I gave up blogging for a while. We went to the state fair a while ago, and then got sick with a cold, we recovered just a few days before Galaxy's birthday--which was on the seventh this month. She's 13!

Pirate Pictures

And Other Pictures Too

13 Days Ago

(I'll have some pictures in the next post)
There was a pirate festival thing, it was going on for three days, we went on the second day which was Saturday, and me, Galaxy and Little Brother dressed up like pirates. We had fun, we went with grandma and parents, and we ate some shaved ice stuff, went on a wild monster truck ride, went on a little train with little brother and learned a bit about history and stuff. I had a fun time. Also afterwards, we hung out by a lake nearby, surprisingly I found several tiny whole shells (and I couldn't find one whole shell on the beach!). Then we walked on a trail, and ate then went home, on the way we saw a cool butterfly, (I think it was a Monarch Butterfly) me and Big Sister changed out of pirate costumes. And Grandma departed.

Baby Birthday!

Today is Baby Brother's birthday! He's turning 1! It's so exciting! Sadly dad has to work today, so Baby Brother hasn't opened any presents. Except that yesterday I had dad bring home some boxes so we could cut them up for birthday boy to crawl through, so I drew on the box where I wanted dad to cut it, and afterwards I had to vacuum up little shaving of cardboard, but mom finished vacuuming. I put little furnishings inside, and gave it to Baby Brother today as a present, he really likes it, so does Little Brother.

Happy Birthday Baby Brother! (though there's really no way he can read this)

Cherries & Summer Nights

I love cherries! We got some yesterday but we ate them all quickly, they are devoured very fast... Anyway, last night I went outside, it was warm and cozy, a bit dark but very nice. I love summer nights, they're almost always great...
So today grandma came over--because she couldn't come, and we couldn't go visit on her birthday--and we hung out and had fun. So far summer has been nice...Happy Summer to you!

Birthday Month

(Well I tried too get a post up with a few pictures of me I took with my camera...but it failed so I couldn't get it up...I'll try again later--back on topic now) This is the month of birthdays, the fifth was moms birthday, a friend had a birthday on the twelfth, this is grandma's birthday, and in nine days it will be Baby Brother's birthday. The second half of the year is overcrowded with birthdays!!! Anyway...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU GRANDMA!


And thank you to those who have still read my blog after my unpredictable pauses!

THANK YOU

My Birthday

I would have posted this sooner, but I was a little busy and lazy.



So here I give you my rushed birthday post!

Anyway, my birthday started out where I woke up at 7:00 maybe? Anyway, I had to wait about an hour before mom and dad woke up (because they had had to stay up late to finish preparing for my b-day). When they did, I opened a few presents, which were: A suit case that came with a backpack and some sort of bag from mom and dad, The Sims 2 (a game by Electronic Arts) Free Time from Galaxy, The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff from mom and dad, a pink toiletry bag, and I read a card from my grandma and grandpa (who weren't there), and a card from Galaxy and a very cute one from Little Brother (he even wrapped it in wrapping paper).
After that we ate breakfast which was waffles with berries, syrup, whipped cream and chocolate chips. Then I got some not wrapped presents, which were a bunch of foot covers which I had been wanting for a while. Afterwards I played the Sims 2 until it was time for lunch. For lunch I had Two Bean Chili and bread, and we ate a few cherries. Then I played Sims for a bit more until Nana and D arrived. I had dad take pictures of me and then I worked on a song I had written a while ago, it was a spy themed song so I thought it would fit the mood. I didn't get a good recording before the guests arrived, when they did we decided our secret agent code names and took pictures and thumb prints for our ID cards. My secret agent name was "So Secret I Can't Even Tell YOU!", S.S.ICETY for short. Then, we played secret agent themed games like: Double Agent (which is like Old Maid only it's a double agent instead), a game where we pass around a "bomb" and try not to let it explode, target practice with sleeping darts (small Nerf guns), and pin the disguise on the agent.
Now we had mission briefing at A.A.M.C.C. (American Agent Master Control Center), and then the real mission began. During the mission I got a Swiss army knife, and something to hold pills. For dinner we had pizza and spaghetti, and I got the rest of the presents from mom and dad which were: nail clippers, a picture framer, glow in the dark silly puddy, ear phones, and a small pink case. Then we had cake and ice cream and everyone left, I played The Sims 2 and we watched stuff, and afterwards we went to bed.

Today Is My Birthday!

Today is my birthday! I know I didn't say much about it, but I didn't feel like it. I'm having a spy themed birthday party, and I'm exited! I'll post more about it on the 15th, bye!

Back From The Trip

We got back from the coast yesterday. We had a great time! It began where we arrived at our hotel, we got into out room--it was wonderful! There was a balcony and a kitchenette, there were comfy couches and pillows, there was a bathroom with a shower tub and two sinks, there was a king size bed (we brought also a blow-up bed), there was a jacuzzi in the main room and a dresser and mirror. We only had enough time to eat, put down our suitcases and use the restroom. We then went out to go on a trip on a boat for three hours with other homeschoolers, mom stayed at the hotel with Little and Baby Brothers. It was cool because the ship was a re-creation of The Lady Washington, and that re-created boat was used in The Pirates Of The Caribbean as The Interceptor, and that was cool. The boat ride was disappointing but I had some fun. A bunch of people got sick, we did a bit. We all got cold and sopping wet, and I was glad we had a jacuzzi in our room. We hung out in the jacuzzi when we got back to the hotel. We did a bit of unpacking and then dined out at Cafe Mundo. I enjoyed the food, but the wait was a little long and they played music while we ate, and I don't really like music when I eat. After eating we went back to the hotel and swam in the pool. Afterwards I showered and we hung out a bit. After a while we went to bed. The next morning, we ate and then went down to the beach. We played a bit and then I combed for seashells then went into the water, but no further than up to my knees. At first the water was cold, but then I became so numb that I couldn't tell, then some of the water felt warm. When we were done we went back to the hotel and I showered off a bit then hung out. Then we went down to the pool, but Baby brother got upset so mom left, then the rest of us left. after a while we were hungry so we left to the store which was supposed to have a deli. But the deli was closed so we got frozen food at Fred Meyers instead. We also picked up some waffles and strawberries. We ate and then watched a movie we had brought. Then we went to sleep. The next morning we had waffles for breakfast, we went down to the beach and played for a bit. We all showered and then went into the jacuzzi, then we started packing. We checked out, and then stopped by the candy shop and got some salt water taffies. We went to a different restaurant to eat, but they were on vacation. We then went back to the store because the deli was open that day, but they didn't have anything there. So we left. I fell asleep in the car. We were going to drop off Galaxy at ballet, but she didn't have her ballet gear and we didn't have enough time to go home and get it and she was sick so we picked up food at nearly normals and went home. We had a GREAT time! THE END. I'll put up some pictures in the next post! Bye!

I Think We'll Be Healthy Soon!

Mom is feeling better, Little and Baby Brothers seem to be healthy, my nose runs like crazy, it doesn't seem Galaxy or Dad will get sick, so I think we're almost healthy!

The Phantom Of The Opera Is Stuck! Inside My Head.

Last American Idol (a show on Fox) episode, they were doing songs from someone who wrote a bunch of musicals, one of which is a version of the musical "The Phantom Of The Opera". Anyway, some of the contestants did songs from it, and then family wanted to search on youtube for the ones from the musical, we listened to the 2004 version and loved it. Now everyone wants to watch it, and I can't get those songs out of my head!!! So, The Phantom Of The Opera Is Stuck! Inside my head.

Today

I'm just getting ready for bed tonight and I had a fun time! We had friends over to do a TNG mystery thing. I had fun, but it was a little hard to follow. Now, it's about time to wind down and stuff, people are gone and it's getting late. Goodnight!
