A Week In A Blog Post

I know I have neglected and ignored you. Seeing as I am aware of this fact I , guess what, decided to blog.

I am going to tell you about our week in BULLET POINTS, just to make it more fun.

• * Our school tends to do a lot of performances at the end of the
  school year. This year our class is doing a space play.
• * Currently, our school is in portables. On Thursday
  12 stressed teachers took 200 something half-crazy kids to
  a 3/4 finished school, where many machines were present that
  we could destroy. Everyone had a great time and the school
  looks awesome. Can't wait to go next year.
• * I passed out of fractions!
  Yeah! On to decimals.
• * I passed out of CCFWT (Crash Course For Writing Technique)!
• * Our class started to learn how to orienteer.
• * I got to spend some time with my best friends. Critical Reframers.
  If you don't know what these are go and find someone at
  Family School to tell you, because I'm not going to.
  (This whole bullet point should be read with very heavy sarcasim.
• * I spent SEVEN HOURS on homework on Saturday.
• * We went to the zoo with some friends on Friday.
  Peter and Laura have some friends in their class that we went
  to the zoo with them (I also happen to have one of their
  siblings in my class). We also took our piano teacher's son
  with us. So, in total, there were nine kids and three parents.
  I have to admit it. It was very successful with very little fighting.
• * We had the missionaries over for dinner.
  We have three great missionaries. There were plenty of
  laughs, and one of our missionaries played piano for us.

Here are some pictures of the trip to the zoo:

Here we are all playing and running around on a hill. In the background you can see a little girl holding my hand. Her name is Mia and she is the sweetest thing ever.

I have a couple other things to say. One, for a couple of years I have wanted to donate my hair for a wig for a cancer victim, my mom and I have looked for a place where I can cut my hair. And I can't wait because my hair is finally ready. Soon I will have very short hair.

The second thing I want to tell you was a song. In our play someone sings this:

(Sung to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)

I found the meteorite, the meteorite, the meteorite

And all of you did not

It must be because I'm so bright, I'm so bright, I'm so bright

And all of you are not

Our class loves this song, mainly because the person you sings it is so funny. We have pretty much already memorized it. We were singing it on the way to the new school.

One other thing I just remembered something else that I did this week. I blogged!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter filled with candy and stomach aches. No pictures to show you. 

Off topic- my blogging will become more frequent now that homework is becoming less and less intense.  

Spring Break

I don't really know what to blog about. Over spring break we didn't do much, due to behavior issues (Peter and Laura) so there is nothing to write about. We did inquiry. We read. Peter had soccer. We were ready to pull our hair out. What's new. In short, it was average and fun.   

I Can't Believe It

Today I stumbled upon another excerpt from The Last Olympian. I was really excited. I really quickly needed to blog about it. It's from  the final battle. Go here.   

MAX, MAX, MAX, MAX!!!!!!!!!!

It is here, finally. The fifth Maximum Ride book is here.

Max:

I learned that I had the date of the release two months late. Oops. 

Well, at the first Wal-Mart I saw my mom and I ran inside and found the book.

If you want to borrow it, let me know.

Now I must continue reading... 

Topper

Our mom is OBSESSED with old movies. So last summer our mother signed us up on Netflick and we watched a million old movies. 

List of Old Movies Loved By Solis Kids:

That Darn Cat (Family)

Shadow of a Doubt (Emily) (Remind me to tell you about that)

Swiss Family Robinson (Family)

Escape/Return to Witch Mountain (Family) 

Topper (Laura and Peter)

This blog post is about Topper and all the things that were caused by it. 

It all started when I tried to watch the videos for Skeleton Creek. 

Peter and Laura were watching Topper and I was watching the videos. Now, Topper is supposed to be funny and the Skeleton Creek videos are supposed to make you jump. Well the videos didn't make me jump once, because of Peter and Laura were laughing their heads off every time they saw a ghost. Well, you try and get frightened when you are yelling at siblings to be quite. 

I'll have to tell you about Shadow of a Doubt later on. That story was actually sort of scary.  

You're Tired of These Posts

I'm going to do another post about books. 

The big book this post is...

 

Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman and one of the best books  I have ever read. Just as good as Harry Potter. Gasp.  We all know that I love Harry Potter. 

Plot: Two friends have been forbidden to see each other, but a mystery holds them together. The mystery might just kill both of the friends.  Includes: ghost and possible terror.

Media: This story is told two ways- through the journal of one friend and the videos of another. The videos are the scariest part of the book for sure, but Peter can watch them so they must not be that bad. 

I loved this book. I read it and watched the videos and can't wait for the second one to come out later on this year. Patrick Carman can make a cliffhanger still be satisfactory in the most amazing way. I wanted the second, but I didn't drive my parents more insane.

 Off Topic: I saw a shirt to day that said: From zero to INSANE in 1.5 seconds. Thanks Rylee.

Mitchell read Skeleton Creek so I can talk to someone about it.

Logging off.
