Well, Christmas is officially over. It went by fast. Way too fast. I wish that I could have had more time with my family, especially with my family from Pennsylvania. Though I am sad that Christmas is over, I am excited for New Year's eve, when I get to stay up until midnight. I was originally going to have my two best friends from school, Lizzie and Veronica, come to my house for a sleepover, but Lizzie told me that she was going to Veronica's for New Year's eve.

Oh Well.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

We had our church play last Sunday night. Cooper and I, along with a bunch of other kids, were sheep. One of the sheperds set down her staff while she was saying her lines. Coop got sight of the big long pole and evidentally thought that it would be a blast to play with. He got up from the floor and picked up the staff, swinging it wildly around while screaming "Hy-Yah" several times. I almost broke out in crazy laughing from where I stood behind a whole bunch of toddlers dressed in fuzzy white hoods and shirts. Oh Yeah... sheep costumes are not only itchy, but hot. While I was almost laughing to death, I was sweating bullets also. I just thought that I would give you a report on the best Christmas Pageant ever.

:D

a year ago yesterday, I first met a little boy whom at first my parents called,'Cooper the Super Pooper'

Hey everyone! I just want to say that yesterday was the day that I first met my awesome little brother Cooper. If you are wondering why they called him Cooper the Super Pooper ( Bailey and Kaylee, you already know this because you guys called him that too, (; ) is because he had Giardia ( a sickness caused by polluted drinking water) and it gave him horrible diaherra. It is kind of funny because it feels like he has been in our family forever. Update on my mom: She is doing better; she doesn't have to rest on the couch anymore, but she is really tired, especially around six or seven o'clock. Part of that is probably natural tiredness like you and I and everybody gets at the end of the day, but she has been falling asleep right after supper, and she usually dosen't do that. Our Christmas play at our church was postponed until next Sunday because of a blizzard that hit our area ( no, not a Dairy Queen Blizzard, but that would be awesome!). See ya later!

Our Church Play

We are having a Christmas play at our church this Sunday. I get the awesome job of being a sheep... pretty cool, right? I also get to sing two solos: one in the song "The Friendly Beasts",which is about the animals in the stable and what they gave up for baby Jesus, and one in "Away in a Manger". My dad is making my sister and I listen to the sound track of the play while we are laying in bed so that we will know the songs better. I would rather listen to Adventures in Odyssey. Anyway, I know that you have probably heard somewhere that sheep costumes are itchy. No, I don't know if they really are itchy, and I don't know if i'm going to enjoy finding out.

On the other hand, there are only 15 days until Christmas! We always have our Christmas at our house early, what with going to my grandparents two nights before actual Christmas, so that would be 9 days away. Oh yeah... My mom has been having a sore throat lately. She went to the doctor, and they said that she had an infection on one of her tonsils. They gave her a shot of antibiodics, but if that doesn't work, they may have to take her tonsils out. It would be awesome if you could pray for her to get better. I will pray also.

Not Your Typical Wednesday

It was a typical Wednesday afternoon... ok, not really. The whole day was pure serendipity. I knew the day would be fun, but I never dreamed it would be this much fun. I was going over to my friend Lizzie's house because I was going to Awana (a Bible verse club) with her. I was so excited that I probably looked like I had terrible sickness like malaria that was making me go crazy! Of course I didn't, but still it might have looked like it. At the zenith of my excitement, I dreamed of provolone cheese at lunch as I drank my pasturized milk. My tongue burned because the night before, I got it stuck on an ice cube that ripped off some skin.

Lizzie and I hopped on the bus and chatted about our favorite Christian songs and somehow started talking about the story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible. In the story, desperados rob and beat the main character. However, a good Samaritan entered the debacle and showed the man great compassion by treating his wounds and setting him up at a nice inn. This story reminded Lizzie and I of the doctrinaire truth that we are to show love to everyone we meet.
When we arrived at the church, Lizzie served as my liaison, introducing me to all her friends. After we played some games, we researched some verses about the 12 disciples. The leaders of Awana told us to mark our calendars for next week because we were to dress like pilgrims. On the way home, a buck jumped out in front of Lizzie's mom's car. I wondered were he got his license.

I guess being so excited caused fatigue to set in. At the end of the day, I wished that I could have a back massage, macadamia nuts, and a steaming cup of oolong tea. The M&M's that I got that night looked just like a bag of confetti as I daintily popped one after another in my mouth. Ooh they tasted good! The whole evening exceeded my expectations.

(This was a school assignment involving my spelling words... don't think I'm crazy or anything!)

B-O-R-E-D Bored

Well, you read the title. I am bored out of my mind. My little brother Cooper was sick with diarhrrea this morning ( I know, gross right?) and was up at five. He is super tired now and Carter, Carlie, Hayden and him are watching a Rescue Heroes movie. The only thing that is keeping me from complete boredom is writing this. I just love writing on here, but I haven't been able to do it in a while because I forgot the adress of my blog... I know... silly of me to forget! Well, anyway, I am pretty tired myself and there is nothing interesting to do. Maybe after this I will draw or something. But for right now, I am signing out... B-O-R-E-D Bored :)

Football Game... AGAIN

Today I am going to my brother, Carter's, football game in Marshalltown. My grandma and grandpa are going to the game with us. I'm not too excited about the game, except that we will probably, most likely, go to Dairy Queen for blizzards and/or shakes afterwards. I will probably get either Georgia Mud or Chocolate Cheesecake. :)

Middle School... ( 6th grade)

You know, I really wasn't looking forward to Middle School, but after a good seven or eight weeks i've discovered that it isn't that bad. Right now, in my favorite class (Social Studies), we are learning about the ancient Eygptians and the Pyramids and Pharoahs. I think that it is very interesting. In other news, I have made a new best friend. Her name is Bailey Bowers, and she is so kind! I have been E-mailing her and found out that the other night she was playing dark tag outside and instead of opening the door, she accidently stuck her hand through a glass widow. She was taken to the E.R. and recieved a ton of stitches. Please be praying that her wound will heal quickly and without a lot of pain :).
