Oh Becky!:D

This is my little sister Becky, CORRECTION : this is "one" of my little sisters. She is cute and funny, but she can be very annoying. In this post, I'm going to be typing about her humor.

Apparently, a family from England has recently moved in, and the children are going to the same school as my sisters. One of them apparently is in 2nd grade; in my sister Becky's class.

So yesterday, Becky had been paying close attention to this British boy, and when she came home off the bus and told us about him. We said that was very fascinating. Her reply was..... "actually mom, he's not very smart and he doesn't like to talk, and the worst thing is, is that he doesn't even know the Pledge Of Allegiance!"

When Becky told us that, my sister Emily and I laughed a lot, then Becky curiously said... "WHAT?"

Its Time For Bed!

Persuasive Writing For Homeschool:

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know that both of you are very smart, and that there is no reason why I should try to persuade you. Except for this reason.

I think my bed time is just right; I like it a lot. I like it so much because I get just the right amount of sleep, to where I'm not tired in the morning... except for the part when I wake up. I'm not good at waking up, as you know, but after I'm done getting out of bed, I'm not at all tired. Although I think most people are still a little bit tired after they wake up.

In the morning, when I see Emily (my older sister) all grumpy and moody, I think about how great it is to have my bed time. I think about that MOSTLY at night when no one wants to be by Emily because she can get super moody. That's something we've all experienced in my house.

So, Mom and Dad, thank you for setting up my bedtime. This letter was to try to ~persuade~ you to NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, change my bed time. I like 9:30pm... it works for me.

Good Night!

Love, Karin

Did I mention it snowed on our last day in Bransen?

This was our Cabin

Yaaay! I got a camera!

Catherine... didn't want to see Santa

Winter Break

Winter Break was a lot of fun, of course getting out of school is what most kids can't wait for, and with out a doubt Christmas is what NO ONE can wait for!

My Christmas was perfect I got just what I wanted, one of my posts was a Christmas list, that was a long time ago.... and I changed my list a lot. So don't go read it and think I got ALL that. But it was definitely a good Christmas, I actually got some thing that weren't on my list, and those things I would never thought of, but I LOVE them anyway!

One of my favorite gifts was a family gift.... the gift was that we were going to go to Bransen that following Monday! When I said we were going to Bransen, I didn't mean like "Silver Dollar City"... I meant we were going to go to a vacationing spot, called "Big Cedar Lodge". And was it big or what! We rented out our own private cabin, it was really nice we had a great view of the lake and everything. It couldn't have been anymore perfect.

New Years Eve was great, we stayed up 'till the ball dropped, we had a great night, except for the part where I stubbed my little pinky toe on the vacuum cleaner. It was stubbed so hard that it was dislocated. :( Now its swollen and purple. It doesn't hurt anymore though... except for when I poke it. :)
