SNOW!!!!!

we got snow today! we drove through snow taking VJ to preschool, but we didn't get hurt. :)
When we got back, and before we left, Mom said that she hoped that preschool wouldn't be closed. And it wasn't.
Thank the Lord for the beautiful snow...... and I didn't have to miss my favorite past-time!: swinging on on swing connected tot he swing set, and listening to my MP3 play, and daydreaming!!!

Discovery Middle Shooting Post number 2

The poor boy shot in the head died today. I feel sorry for his family. The school went into
emergency procedure they hoped they'd never had to use. The other ninth grader that shot Todd Brown in the head in still in custody..... and I hope he will learn his lesson.
must go,

Discovery Middle School Shooting

Discovery Middle School had a shooting happen today in one of their hallways. A ninth grader shot another ninth grader in the head. The shooter is in custody,while the other boy is at Huntsville Hospital in serious condition. I heard about this from Mom when she asked Dad if he had heard about it. Nobody else was injured in this, except the boy shot in the head.
I looked ( on my turn on the computer) it up on the News Channel 19 website, and it said all of this ( after I heard Mom ask Dad if he had heard about it.).
One of our friends from church, goes to Discovery, but Mom read on Facebook that she didn't go to school today.

Dinner time! i wonder what Mom has cooked up for supper......

BSF night......thank the Lord!!!!

Tuesday! BSF night, at last! I've always liked going to BSF. BSF stands for Bible Study Fellowship. Mom and I carpool with one of her nursing buddies. Mrs. Julie has 3 kids, and do I enjoy chatting with them! We take turns riding in each other' s cars... you know, split the gas.Jonah, and Nathan ( Nate) have plenty to tell me about DS' and video games. They are pretty shocked to know that I don't have a video game, but they are staying with it that Noah used to have a little pirate one. But, god news, I'm not the only girl in the car! Paige is a girl, and girls understand girly stuff ( I DO NOT mean romance ( maybe when I'm older) but stuff like boys are very hard in the terms of being their sister). Tonight I'm bringing my MP3 player, and then we can sit in the back ( as not to interrupt the moms as they're talking) and then sing along with our music.

Sorry, I need to go. We have to take Noah to karate.

School

Oh, my! You should see how hard school has been these past few days! It's not a favorite for me, but I guess I can't back out of it. And it's no backing out of math, in our house. Whew! Dad's little motto thing ( for our school) is " If you can't do anything, do math." He's that serious about math! But it's getting easier on me, too. If I learn it, the other stuff gets easier, because the thing I learned before, some how ends up in the thing I'm doing now. I also found out ( funny because I just found out a few weeks ago) that if I don't complain about my school and chores, it goes by faster. That's been helpful, and God's help, too. If I think wanting to go outside and play, and then that I have to finish school, then I can make it go by faster by not complaining. I think that piece of info is really motivating.........don't you?

Good news: Mom's drawings really help in my health book( we are going back to my science book, though, cause the health book, is hard a bit for me) . She drew this little heart ( my health chapter was about the heart, blood& bloodstream what all of it does), and traced with a pencil how the blood flows through the heart, gets oxygen, comes back to the heart, and then pumps throughout the body. I think her drawings really help! They are super cool!! I guess I need her to teach me to draw!

Need to go! Sorry!

rest of the pictures

Here are the rest of the photos I haven't been able to put on here:

Noah looking at a train.

Dad and VJ, very interested.

Little boys do get tired, but this little guy

thought it would be easier to lay down to play

with the new toy.

That's it. I really liked that train thing, but I didn't really want to admit it because...well.. trains aren't my thing.

By the way, we are getting over our sicknesses. VJ still has a virus or whatever. Noah and I were well enough to go to LCA today( Life Christian Academy). It's great, but you feel like you are in a real school( like Columbia or Horizon Elementary). I get homework in Art, Alabama History, and Chorus, those are my classes. Noah gets homework too.

Got to go.

Sick,sick,sick

A sick house is what our house had been. First of all, VJ had a fever and what Mom thought was a virus. Then last Sunday, Noah got it; and it was really sad for him because he couldn't go to the U.S.S. Alabama with Dad on his Bear Cub Scout trip. Then, Sunday night I felt bad, and I was feverish( along with Noah) tired, and it was plain that our house was a sick house. Now Mom thinks we had the flu. So on Tuesday( we didn't do school cause Mom needed to finish up records for a check- which had a mix-up), Mom sent VJ to preschool, but he came home at 1pm and his teachers had said he had green stuff out his nose, and sure enough; Mom checked his temp: 103.00. We went to the doctor's on Wednesday, Mom got VJ in and then my ears were hurting and she got the doctor to look at me too. Our appointment was at 10:40 am, but our doctor is very busy, so we ended up in the room at around 12 or so,( we had waited in the car, because of all the sickness of other kids in the waiting room.). Dr. T said that VJ has a virus and to just wait it out( just the thing Mom could have done, but we really want to have him in preschool). I have an ear infection. Mom told me afterwards that we had gone to the doctor's for nothing, but I said no, my ear infection.
Dinner time!
