weird day

It feels as if I have experienced all feelings today. At school it was boring, and I had that feeling saying that I didn't really learn anything-but at drama and choir I had a good time. Then when I got home, I did homework which was driving me NUTS!!! so after that, I watched brady and of course after I finished holding him, I was in awe. Then Eliza wanted me to play with her outside. I was mad at that time because I was grounded-again- and not aloud to play with my best friend across the street. [I was grounded becuase I had an additude earlier that night.] When I had to watch Eliza, it made me even madder and I got really really mad when I saw that Sam and my best friends brothers [she was even there] and how much fun they were having. Now I was ready to explode with tears and anger and felt like running away. Just when I was about to blow, though this thought just came out of nowhere and it said to me, "what if the neighbors car came and didn't see me in the coldasac riding on this litle motorcycle [My brother lets me use his little motorcyle thats like 2 feet tall but goes really fast!] and hit me? So then I motored over to the side and while I was doing it, another thought came into my head-faster! Then once I got there, sure enough the car was there going pretty fast! Who knows if I would have gotten hit? RIght there I had a feeling the holy ghost told me. [For those who don't know what that is, the holy ghost is sort of like an angel that warns people who believe in Jesus Christ and have faith.] All my feelings went away then, and my brother came walking down the coldasac. He started playing ball, and once it accidently hit the motorcycles wheel, [the balls bigger than the wheel.] and the motorcycle was starting to flip forward, so I slamed on the brakes and leaned to the left to stop it from flipping and while in the process it would't stop and my knee was scraping hard on the road. When it finally stopped I just ran away from it crying letting all my last feelings out. Now I am much better and typing!!!! [Thank you holy ghost.]

hey everyone! My cousin nick visited us and here is one of his videos. YOU ROCK NICK!

Crazy hair day pics

interveiw of my family and more

YUCK! Brady just pooped on me!

Hey all you story readers! Here is my next 2 chapters for my book!

Chapter 4 Building with Mr. SmithThe couple gasped but were soon relieved. In the doorway stood the man. ''There you are. I am sorry we haven’t got your name!'' Luke said. ''Guess.'' Was his reply.’’”Um Mr. Thomas?'' Lucy asked. ''Nope''. ''Uh...Mr. Cummings?'' Luke asked. ''Nope''. ''Mr. White?'' Lucy asked again.’ Still no, look if you want dinner then you better get it right.'' He said. ''Ok, I know it is… Mr. Smith?'' Luke asked hopeful showing in his face.’ Finally! Yes it is! Now let’s have dinner.'' He said. He led the kids to the small table. Then he asked if they could maybe sit on the floor for dinner. They understood so they answered yes. While they were eating small portions of chicken wings, the children suddenly stared at the chicken wings and thought to themselves, where did he get the food? Mr. Smith must have understood what they were thinking because right then he said,’ you might be wondering where I got the food. I can tell you if you promise never to tell another person what you might hear next.'' The children nodded to show that they would not. Then he began again.’ I went out the door and down the steps and use the key that the king had used to lock me in to get out the tower. Then I stayed behind the bushes to not be seen, and waited until someone put some kind of food onto the table beside me. Then I would take about a quarter of the food, Put it in-between my arms, and quickly but quietly I would sneak back into the tower.'' ''Wow, all that work for food? And what if you got caught?'' Lucy said in a loud voice.’ I know but I need to live.’ He said quietly. The small family were finished eating so they headed up the stairs to get a lesson in for building. When they were in the room with the wood and unfinished work and spinning wheel, they all sat down around the table. Then, Mr. Smith began his lesson. He lifted up a long piece of wood and put it onto the table. ''First you need to fix two chairs for you to sit in for dinner, lunch, and breakfast. To make a chair you will saw 4 straight legs, a round circle just larger then your bottom, and an oval larger than your back. When you’re done with that, tell me. So they all went to work. Luke and Lucy working on chairs and Mr. Smith working on a larger table. There were a few problems for Luke and Lucy. First, Lucy had cut a big cut on her hand from using the saw. Then, Luke had got large splitters from the wood. Next, Lucy's circle had broken in half, and finally Luke lost his wood for a leg to the chair. But Mr. Smith seemed to know what to do for every problem. He had used a napkin from dinner to wrap around Lucy’s hand and he had found some skinny, long rocks that looked like chop sticks to pull out the splitters. He used the wood from the old table as a circle for Lucy’s chair, and he had extra wood for Lukes leg to the chair. When they had all finished the first instructions from Mr. Smith, the next step was to cut holes into the wood by the screw driver he had found outside the towers big enough for the leg of the chairs to stick in and for the oval to go into the chair. This time there were no problems except for a few blisters. They had completed their job. They jumped up and gave their sister or brother a high five. ''Alright!'' they shouted. Now they were very tired and decided to go to bed. But when they looked through a crack in the towers they saw that it was already morning! But who cares? They just want to go to bed. So they grabbed a blanket from the box and a pillow from the couch and fell asleep on the floor. ''Wake uppppp. Wake uuupppp. WAKE UP!'' Mr. Smith shouted. ''Ahhhhhh!'' Lucy screamed.’ I had the worst and I mean the worst dream of my life. It was that we were locked up in a tower and there was a house and, and the.....''She paused and looked up then her face turned pale. ''That wasn’t a dream was it?'' She asked Mr. Smith. He laughed.''No!'' ''Pinch me'' she murmured and got up to change. Then she realized she had no choice. She had no clothes to change into. ''Uh...Mr. Smith do you think you can teach me how to make clothes on that spinning wheel? I really need some.'' Come on.'' He answered with a smile. Lucy kicked Luke and ran upstairs to the working room. ‘‘O.K. ok I’m up.'' Luke said also now heading for the stairs. He entered the room just as Mr. Smith and Lucy sat down in front of the spinning wheel. He joined them just as Mr. Smith started the lesson. Soon, they both had 4 new pairs of clothes. Lucy’s clothes were pink and purple. Luke’s was blue and green. When they had changed, they went to the table and had left overs from last night. When they were done they went into the room with the rocking chair. They sat down and the two kids played checkers. Luke won. Lucy declared a rematch and she won that time. They became bored. They asked if maybe Mr. Smith had any ideas. He said they could try to build something up stairs with the wood or the spinning wheel. They raced each other upstairs and headed for the room. They soon built a rocking horse and blocks to build things with when they were bored next time. Then Mr. Smith went down stairs for lunch. While they were waiting they played with the blocks. They had built a huge palace because they were wondering what it looked like below them inside the palace. Soon they heard Mr. Smith’s footsteps down stairs. They ran to him, gave him a hug and sat down at the table ready for lunch. He pulled out noodles with butter on them and piled them into there our hands. They ate it quickly and then showed Mr. Smith what they built. When he saw it he said ''wow sure does look like it. You have a very good picture in your minds.’’ He smiled and turned around to head back down stairs and take a nap.
Gone for good
Chapter 5 When he was walking downstairs, Lucy and Luke were thinking about what Mr. Smith just said. Did it really look like it? SWEET! But then they saw some problems with the castle. It was slanted, and some of the blocks were uneven. They went to work on it. While they were working on it, Mr. Smith sure was busy! He wasn't really taking a nap. He was actually planning. ''Think, think! I need to get rid of those kids before they take all I have! But what should I do? Throw them down the stairs?'' He sat down in a chair he had stolen to think. In another 20 minutes he had an idea! ''HAHAHAHAHAHA! I got it!'' Upstairs Lucy and Luke were almost done. ''One more block to even up!'' Lucy said as she handed the block to Luke. ''Mr. Smith is going to be so proud! I wish mother could see this. Man, do I miss her. Don't you think she would have noticed that we were gone by now?'' ''Duhhh." She notices every thing.'' Lucy replied. ''Yes! I am all done with the block. Lucy, if this really looks like the castle, then I want to see it!'' Luke shouted. ''I bet Mr.Smith wouldn't notice if we just headed down for a couple of seconds. I mean he has only been asleep for about 25 minutes. Should we go down? We would probably have 35 minutes to look around and come back up. Please......'' ''Well okay but lets make it quick.'' Lucy said. ''YES!'' He is still sleeping!'' “SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” ''Sorry! Follow me.'' Luke took the key from the table and opened the door to the steps. She crept down with Luke following her and walked step by step down the stairs. When they finally got to the door, Lucy pushed the key through the key hole and turned the knob quietly. The door slowly opened. ''Ready?" When I get to three, we run through the door and to the bush ahead. 1, 2,'' He gulped. He started to shake. '' 2 and a half..... 3! '' They rushed to the bush after shutting the door. ''We made it!'' Luke said. ''Okay what next?'' Lucy asked. ''Wait till nobody’s around then us can go to that door marked dress closet and get disguises. After that, we could walk around the halls and explore with out getting caught.'' Luke said. ''Good plan.'' In the next 2 minutes they were off. They sneaked into the closet and got changed. Lucy had put on a nurses costume and Luke had on a robe and beard. ''1, 2, 3 go into the hallway!'' Lucy decided. As they were walking there were lots of pictures of famous people like George Washington. There were also lots of doors marked weird names like King Dorkus and Queen Amadofus. After the remaining 33 minutes of exploring they headed down to the tower and shut the door. ''WOW! It really did look like our castle shouted Lucy. They ran up the steps and opened the door to their prisoner house. They were in for a big surprise. All the stuff in the living room where they had built the castle had been replaced by the two chairs. ''What... AH!'' Lucy had been head first shoved into a potato sack and pushed over to a chair. Soon she was tied to it. '' LUCY!'' cried Luke, but soon the same thing happened to him. They are going to black out! In less than 30 seconds, they had.


I have one quick thing to say-if you have any ideas for what my title should be, comment!

VIDEOS COMING SOON!

VIDEOS COMING SOON! P.s. at middle school today I opened my locker! YEAHHHH. Turns out the school gave me the wrong combo lock. Oh and a tropical storm from the hurricane hannah is hitting us tonight. Can you say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

FIRST DAY OF MIDDLE SCHOOL-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so today was the first day of middle school, so the 2 top pictures are showing what I wore on the first day of school. This day was so crazyyyyyyyy! First, I got my schedule, and I noticed that it didn't have my locker number on it, and my 2 elective classes weren't there and instead there was different classrooms. I also found out that my homeroom teacher did seem just a little strict, but not mean. When class started, the girl beside me said hi, and so I played on and soon we were friends! So after that, I went to science, and I found a girl I saw in my last class and decided to say hi. By the end of science I had a another friend and I loved my science teacher. Next, I found out I went to 7th grade math and had a little trouble finding the classroom. When I did find it, the classroom was crowded! But after a little talking from the teacher, she mentioned that a teacher wanted her to just say the rules for the home room that was in there-so most of those kids weren't acually in that class but following their homeroom and meeting teachers. I didn't really meet any friends there, but I did try!! [she was too shy!] After THAT the teacher led us to the lunch room [wayyyyyyyy crowded!] and the princeable decided that we should sit with our homerooms. Now that was a little hard because I had to ask a bunch of kids at tables which table was my room. When I found it, I sat next to the girl I met at science, and she introduced me to her friend. Soon we were friends, and walked together to the next classroom which was history. We couldn't find 2 seats together so we had to sit next to "strangers" [just kidding!] The teacher seemed a bit strict so I am glad the classes are only 45 minutes! We did have time to interview a kid so a girl came up to me and we introduced ourselves. [I am not sure if she is called a friend yet though.] Next we had something called advisory which was in the home rooms, where the teacher answered any questions we had. Finally it was time for our electives. THey actually got the first elective right, so I followed that since it was a A day. I went to art following my teacher. But it seemed that I wasn't on his attendence roll so after class he sent me to guidance [the class was fun, because the teacher was really nice.} At guidance they messed up my schedule 5 times so that took a while and made me miss my other two electives [I didn't care though because I didn't like those 2!] but that gave them time to fix my problems and I found out that I wasn't on the art teachers rool becuase the class was too big and they put me in laton instead of that [but that is semester 2 so I don't need to worry about that!] and so now I am in drama, and choir on b days! now it was time to pack up [ui had trouble finding my bus] and sooN i WAS HOME!

GIRLY GIRL CLUB!

OKay so this weeks activity will be... parting your hair to the side. Or if you don't want to do that, paint your nails rocker blue!

Middle school open house

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ONLY 4 MORE DAYS TILL MIDDLE SCHOOL!
Ok so I went to my middle school open house last night, and it was CROWDED! I found out that I have a nice home room teacher. The cafeteria is pretty large, and the gym even has a rock wall all the way to the ceiling. I will be in drama class so I checked the stage but it was smaller than what I thought. Then when they were talking about health class they mentioned that I get to go to this awesome room with bikes, weights, small trampolines, bouncy balls, and even a WII!

Next two chapters of my book!

Chapter 2: Inside that clearing

They did not dare breathe a word. ''Lucy, am I dreaming or do I see it too?" ''You tell me'' was all that she could say. It was silent. What they saw was a beautiful castle. It had towers and towers all painted in pink and white. Glass windows, doors that shined at least a mile away, and Paintings of princesses and princes! “RACE YOU!” Lucy was off leaving poor Luke stunned. He quickly came out of it though because he was getting nervous about just barging in and knew he had to save his sister from making maybe one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. He soon caught up with her and told her to stop. “Lucy! I suddenly thinking that safety is telling me we should not go in there.'' '' oh you’re such a baby! I say we should go in it. Besides I am hungry and I bet they have tons of food. I DARE YOU!'' Replied Lucy. ''Well I would feel safer if we tell mom first. Maybe she would come with us.'' Luke said. ‘‘But it would take forever to go there. Now let’s go'' But before Luke could answer her, they were pulled of there bikes and they were expertly blinded, gagged, and roped with twine. Suddenly they heard a thud and there heads felt foggy and heavy. Then everything all around them went black.
Chapter 3!
Kidnapped!!!!!!!
''I can not believe it!'' Lucy exclaimed. ''For the 10th time would you stopped saying that!'' Luke said with anger showing in his face. ''I just can’t believe that we are in a huge tower locked up, with nothing to eat, drink, or sleep on!'' Lucy said. ''Well Look on the bright side, we have plenty of room, found out what we wanted to, and we are still alive. Plus it’s not my fault!'' Oh so you’re saying it’s my fault!'' Lucy yelled her face reddening. She was so mad; she raced up the tower steps getting away from her brother. ''Fine be that way!'' Luke said. He started banging the bars but was interrupted with a scream! ''Lucy?'' He raced up the stairs afraid of what he might find. ''It sure is scary up here'' he said aloud. The walls were crumbing, the floors dusty, and the railing was broken. He ran faster. Where is she? I'm almost to the top he kept telling himself. I think I can I think I can....He headed for the last turn in the tower stairs. ''WOW!'' he said. Right in front of his eyes he saw a huge house! He headed for the door. While he was running, he was thinking what could be in there. When he stopped at the door, He decided to push his luck by ringing the doorbell. ''Ding, ding, ding’’ Each time getting into a lower note. The door slowly opened by itself. ''Hello?'' He called as he steps inside slowly. Once he had stepped only 5 baby steps forward and into the house, something caught him by the arm. Now he screamed! The arm lead him into a dark room with a shagged couch. The arm shoved him onto the couch and let go of him. He felt he was going to faint. The door shut, and down went his hopes of escaping. Then out of his corner of his eye, he saw his sister. ''Lucy!'' he Shouted relieved to see her again. Now that he found his sister he was so happy he forgot where he was and he sprang off the couch running to his sister to give her a big hug. But when they connected arms, they saw the man that had pulled Luke. They stared at him wondering what to say but before they could say a word, he went to the couch and asked, “who are you and what do you want?'' Luke gathered enough courage to answer, ‘I am Luke and this is my sister, Lucy.'' She curtsied. '' Are you a prisoner?'' she asked her eyes widening. “ No, I am just a man locked up in a tower that has been here for 10 years. OF COURSE I AM A PRISONAR!” But seeing the frightened look on Lucy’s face must have done something because then he said, ''Sorry. Why don’t you just sit on the couch and I will tell you my story.'' They obeyed and soon they found themselves sitting on the couch with a stranger who appeared to be in their 40's. ''It all started when I was about your age, 10. I was walking to school and I noticed a path. I looked at my watch and saw that I was already 5 minutes late. I thought for sure the path must be a short cut. I was a fast runner at the time, and decided to take the path by running. 20 minutes went by and I still had not got to my school. While I was still running, I thought maybe I should go back. When I was about to turn around, I saw a clearing. I ran to it this time sure to find my school. But when I saw that it was a castle, my curiosity grew. Before I knew it, I was ringing the doorbell to the castle. A king answered it. His face was red with anger. He had a beard long and gold. He even had a long red coat and a red robe full with jewels. When I was sure his face could not get any redder, He asked me,’ well what do you want?'' In a stern voice. I answered shakily '' I was looking for my school, and I got lost but when I saw this palace, I decided to see what was in it but I guess it was a mistake. I am sorry I bothered you. I will leave now. But when I started to turn around to run off, he said with an evil grin,’ you want to know what is in it? Here let me give you a tour. He led me into the house. ''This place I am going to show you first is just around the corner.'' He said. When we went around the corner, there was a huge door. He took a key from his pocket and put it in the key hole. Suddenly, the doors opened and I was pushed in. The door was the tower that we are in now.'' He finished. ''That evil king!'' Lucy said.’ Was this house here when you came? Or did you make it?'' Luke asked. ''I made it'' he answered proudly smiling. But then his smile faded away as he said slowly,’ If only I chose the right path! But at least now I have company.'' ''You will let us stay here??'' Lucy asked. ''Consider me family'' He said smiling. ''Cool! Let’s explore the house!'' Luke said jumping. He ran upstairs and disappeared.'' Sorry about my brother’s behavior. Want to go with me to see what he is doing?'' Lucy said. ''You go ahead and explore the house since you will be living here until we escape.'' He said while making himself comfortable on the couch. Lucy smiled and raced up the steps. When she got onto the upstairs hallway, she saw her brother in a big room lying on a bed. She went into the room and jumped onto the bed. ''Comfy'' she said out loud. ‘‘Let’s see what’s in the other rooms.'' Luke said bouncing off the bed.’ Last one out is a rotten egg!'' Lucy yelled and off they went. They ran into the hallway and entered a large room. ''Wow! It’s so large!'' Luke almost whispered. Inside the room, there was a couch, a spinning wheel, wood, and half a table. ''I guess this is where he makes the stuff. I wonder where he got the wood.'' Lucy told Luke.' Already got tired of looking at it, come on lets look at the other rooms!'' They ran into a bathroom. ''He’s a professional!'' Lucy exclaimed. ''I agree with you.'' Luke answered back. Then they headed for two rooms with nothing in it. ''This one is mine!'' Lucy called from one room to Luke who was in the other room. '' Cant wait till he teaches us to build'' He called back. '''It will take a lot of work though.'' She said walking back into the hall. There was Luke waiting for her. ''Now let’s see what’s in the other rooms downstairs.'' Soon they were downstairs in the kitchen. There was a small uneven table for two with one chair. Then there was a secure box in the corner of the room.’ Interesting.'' said Lucy heading for the last room. In this room, there was a rocking chair, Checker board, table, and a wooden box with blankets inside. When they went back to the first room where they started, the man was not there in the couch.’ Where are you? Oh please come out.'' Luke and Lucy yelled. Then the door opened.

Okay today I got up around 7:3o to go to the doctors office. I found I had to get 3 shots {the measeals, tdap, and chicken pox.} and that prick thing. They didn't hurt that much, and Eliza was happy because she got a sticker and spongebob sticker. Then we went to get our haircut and I got my hair in layers. When we got home, we did a water balloon fight and tried to put up a tent but failed. Then my mom found out that our cousins uncle died because of cancer that morning at 2:00 am so the rest of the day has been sort of quiet. Good night!

My book.

I loveeeeeeee to read, so I just started to write a book. I figured I could post it on here, so here is the first chapter! Chapter 1: Metting Luke and Lucy.
There was once lived a boy and a girl. They were twins. The boy’s name was Luke. He was smarter than most boys and was going into 5th grade. He loved tackling things and was planning on joining the tackle football team that year. His sister’s name was Lucy. Lucy was a petite girl and was into gymnastics. When they were born, their mother had noticed something very strange about them. The girl had a strawberry mark on her belly that was shaped exactly like a heart and would sparkle when in the Sun. The boy had the same thing except that it was shape something sort of like a… well a fire ball! Of course the mother was very worried that she was going insane! But in a few days it was gone and she forgot all about it. They grew up to be very active and strong. And when you held them you would always feel comforted. But Soon they were both 10 years old and on Summer vacation. It was a nice day. So good of a day Lucy thought to ride their bikes on the path they found last week. They wanted to ride down it on a day like this because the path was sort of a gold kind of color and it was long and smooth. Once they got their helmets and bikes, they raced to see which one could ride their bike to the path faster. “I’m in head of you!’’ Lucy shouted. “Not for long!’’ Luke pedaled even faster and was soon ahead of Lucy. Lucy was so shocked that she stopped pedaling and just sat there amazed. “Come on Lucy” Luke said. “Lucyyy.” “LUCY!” Well that sure snapped her out of it! She started pedaling with Luke again not remembering the race that they just had. They finally saw the gold shimmering in the light. They started down the path. The wind was still perfect. About 30 minutes passed and they were still on that same path. When they both were about to give up the search, their wonders were rewarded. Just ahead of them was a small clearing. They stopped riding and stared at the clearing wondering if they should go and find out what was in the clearing. Their minds raced. What could be in there? A city? A club? As they thought more about it, they heard loud, clattering, steps. They froze afraid to turn around. 10 seconds later, they heard a man with a deep voice shout at them. ''Move!!' He shouted. They ducked into the bushes at the last second. They stared in disbelief as a white with gold rims cart pulled by a horse went into the clearing. They knew now that they just had to find out what was in the clearing. They grabbed their bikes and pedaled downward to the clearing. Luke thought it was the longest time of his life and found himself drooling! They were getting closer ,closer, closer and finally they made it in. Lucy gasped. Now if you liked that, I will be putting on more chapters soon, so check often!
