Can’ t Wait

I’m sick. Great. Well anyway yesterday my mom and I went to see a movie. The movie we saw was “ Bridge To Terabithia ”. It is a pretty good movie. Though it is a bit sad, at the same time it is happy. I do like it a lot though. A couple days ago at school we had a science test on the human body. I did well, I got an A plus. Now back to me being sick. My throat hurts quite a bit, and my head hurts just a tiny bit. You have no idea how hard is to swallow. It hurts too.
You know sometimes I like winter and sometimes I don’ t. I do not like the cold, but I love the snow. I also really do not like the dull, gray and plain look everything has. I mean even the trees look like they are old weak and tired. The wood on our deck is even dull looking. I can’ t wait till spring where everything is young , fresh and new looking. When it is also my birthday! I just can’ t wait!!!!!

In THE GAME

Today ( Feb 13) I had my school volleyball tournament. We unfortunately did not win any games, (there were 6 games) . We just could not win any. Our school hosted the tournament. We did have fun though. We got to miss school almost all day. I am such a winner 🙂

In school we are studying Ancient Civilization in Social studies. In science we are studying The Human Body. It is a bit gross though. In language we just finished Poetry. We are now doing a project on poetry.

Huh????????

Where's the food?
me in my grandma
&Grandpa’s kitchen How To Make Rock Candy!

Things you will need:
-hot water
-white sugar
-pencil
-glass
-20 cm of string

First you must fill the glass up halfway with hot water. Then you must put about two(I put about two) teaspoonfuls of white sugar into the hot water. Then you take your pencil and wrap the string around it so that there is hanging down to reach the bottom of the glass and have a bit sit on the bottom. This is important to make sure the sugar collects on the string properly. Next you knot the string around the top of the pencil so that it will stay in place. Finally, wait. The next day you should see a few crystals forming on the string. Wait about a week if you want them all to collect into rock candy. If it’s not big enough wait a little bit longer.
Today I started this experiment. I added blue food dye to make my rock candy blue. You can add any colour and the candy will turn that colour. This is a good activity on a boring day where you have nothing to do. Yummy!
I’m looking forward to eating it!

P.A. Day

On Friday afternoon I went sledding with my two best friends. We had no school because it was a PA day. We went sledding on a really good hill. On Thursday we had gotten some new sleds. It was a really good day for sledding, just the perfect amount of snow. We got a magic carpet and a skidoo. We even connected our sleds to make a train, but we fell off a lot. Sledding is really fun. I think we should do it more. I really love winter. After we finished sledding my friends came over to my house. We had hot chocolate and cookies that I made. We played many games like Kerplunk. One of my friends helped me make a big Littlest Pet Shop town out of my twenty-eight littlest pet shop animals and little buildings.

The next night my family and I went skating at an outdoor public skating rink. I am finally getting better at skating. After we climbed on some snow mountains from the zamboni. They were really high. I really loved those snow mountains.

I am looking forward to getting more snow than we already have!
