Yes, a changed household it is. Noah had an accident yesterday( Sat) on his skateboard. He said that he stepped to far one the back end of his skateboard,and fell. He said he heard a pop,and Mom said he hollered for her. He basically broke both of his bones in his forearm. Mom: " They are both broke, but the radius is separated." There you are. Mom saw the X-ray, so I'll believe her.
Noah went to the ER,and Mom said that they were let out a little bit after 9pm. He has temporary cast, and will get his real one in a few days.He also has his arm in a sling, which I think is super cool. From what I can tell, he's getting better at eating with his left hand. I did have to help him with pouring ketchup...for lunch...but besides that, he's OK. But, Mom's helped him the changing clothes, and that thing. When he came inside( after it broke), it sorta looked like a banana( believe he told me to put it one here!). Here's Noah in his words:
" It's very annoying when I'm itchy under the cast. It hurts when I move my arm to fast. I got an IV and it felt weird. I liked the ER, and watching the nurses and doctors do stuff on my fingers. I really want an orange cast, and my friends will sign it. I liked the help I got from the people. I even got carried into the bed...that was really nice! The cast feels really weird. They put me to sleep when the set my arm. Please pray that my arm will heal well, so that I may go back to playing with my friends, and doing things I enjoy."

He made a deal with me: He'd say things for the blog, if I'd watch an episode of Sponge Bob Square pants with him. Oh, well.:) I like that silly creature too. By the way, Sponge Bob is a sponge, his friend Patrick is a starfish.
Sponge Bob time!

p.s. I have SATs tomorrow! I hope I do well!

Burial at Sea
Yes, a burial at sea is what happened today. Wondering who died,and is now in Davy Jones' locker? Not Noah, VJ, Mom, or Dad, or any relatives, only my two poor fish.....Carly, and Goldy. They died last night or at least Goldy did; Carly had been dead since yesterday morning. I ended up pouring them down my toilet, trust me, I would have been even more pleased to pour them ( with all my fishy sick water) down Noah and VJ's toilet, but that big medium size bowl is WAY to heavy to carry around the house. I'm planning on getting ( this Friday/tomorrow) and beta( BA-TA), which is what Noah has, and is so much cleaner. Just need my allowance! Well, I'll probably need to use a lot of my allowance to pay off my library stuff that is WAY over due!
Just for y'all who have/have had fish, they stink when you have to pour them down the toilet, or just feed them( their food stinks worse).I put my nose to their food( when I had to feed them for the first time) and practically dropped it!
I hadn't really "bonded" with them, so it wasn't like Noah and VJ had to hear me wailing from every corner of the house. I held my breath instead. One of the reasons was that I petted them. And the other reason( for Goldy) is that when I was going to put him/her the new cage, I put the twist tie, on the table and held the bag with he poor things on the bottom of the bag, not near the top. All that water made the bag tip over, and Goldy and A LOT of water spill out onto the floor. ( Carly was okay. still in the bag). I screamed for Noah to scoop the poor thing up, and he did and plopped him in the tank. I, not risking another spill, dumped Carly and the rest of his dirty( already in the bag) water into the tank. Then came the messy job of cleaning up all that dirty fishy water. Eww! Anyway, I lived through that, and may of y'all can see, as I'm posting. Mom thinks that that might have terrified him, a bit,and the fact that I was petting him like an dog. The weird thing is that you don't know how long they've been in the pet store, and how long they already were when they came to the pet store.
Anyway, after all that bad stuff there is a very good part. Mom and I have finished painting two walls , and I hope we'll be able to finish filling in the cracks tonight. By the way, we stayed up past 10pm last night!....SWEET!!! :)
I guess that's it. No more.....yet. I'll see if I can get more pictures of Noah and my betas. I'm not sure how it' exactly spelled, but I believe it's close enough.

Spring Break....yaaa! and boo.....
Spring Break! Wow, spring should be just around the corner.........at least I hope so! It seems that winter has been trying to hold on for a while, but spring will defeat it! The "ya!" part is that I'm getting my room painted a nice "aqua haze", and that there is time to play. The "boo" part is that we have to do school. It'll be a tight squeeze this year, but next year, my school won't be at squished..at least I hope so! I'll have Study Hall in LCA next year, Lord willing, so I can do my math in there, along with spelling and whatever else that needs to be done. But we are only doing math and test prep for me, and math and phonics for Noah. VJ has been missing preschool. He asked Mom yesterday, " We go a preschool today, Mommy?". Mom feels sorry for him, but I'm, sure she's missing it, herself, as she really enjoys having him away for four hours. Preschool will be here soon, to VJ and Mom's great enjoyment...but that means SATs for me ( next week) and playing in a room for Noah. One good thing about SATs is that is I do really well in the spelling part of the test, then I won't have to do spelling next year; I'll do Vocabulary in Greek and Latin prefixes instead. Only one subject out and another to take its place.
Also, today, Noah and I each got at least one fish. I got two goldfishes, and Noah got a Bata. i have this medium goldfish bowl,and Noah got this kit( it happens that he only spend $27 something, and I spend over $30) that has a little tank, food,cleaner, gravel, and fake plant. I ended up buying( not choosing a kit) a medium tank, two goldfish, food, and a 5 lb bag of gravel. I have the little things in my room, on a table under my window. When my room is painted( and neat, for Mom), I'll take a picture of it, and then a close up of the fish. We're thinking of putting the tanks in the laundry room so the fish don't get cold, in a house that has me cowering under my covers cause Dad turns it down to 62 degrees or whatever. It'll keep them warmer; it was Noah's idea. Pretty good one.
Well, I guess that's all the news. Tytus is doing fine, so it Aunt Stephanie. I'll email her and see what's new!

G.O.L.F., Marriage and Children.
We got home from church today, and when we stepped inside the house, Noah goes,( it's not exactly but it'll work) " Mom, do you know what ' GOLF' stands for?"
Mom said " No."
And Noah replies," It stands for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden."
I said," Your kidding. Mom, I think he made this up."
And Noah says, " No, my friend Andrew told it to me.
"I said , Maybe he made it up,"
And Mom said," Just let him be.".
I still don't agree with that, but it'll work for the men's bathroom, and possibly Noah's bedroom door....( haha). Guess I've got to think up something for my bedroom door.
To the marriage part: We were in the car, and headed for the gas station, and then to church, when VJ started reciting ( Noah taught him this by saying it over and over) the marriage part of The Princess Bride. He goes, " marriage a dream" ,and then says , " marriage and a fun!" The car became a laughing party, and Dad said that will be a FaceBook worthy quote. I said it'd be a blog quote, and here it is. The real quote, for those of you who haven't see that movie( it's pretty good, execpt some gruesome parts), is this:
' Marriage, marriage is what brings us together, today. Marriage that blessed arrangement as a dream within a dream." The guy, who plays the old man who " marrys" Buttercup and the prince, has this old toddler-like voice, and says things wrong.
Children: Well, church's sermons and our chapel @ LCA are a bit alike. Mr. Swinny( our LCA chapel teacher) said that when your parents discipline you, it because God instructs them to, and because they love you. He said that when you misbehave, that must take the rod and put it to the seat of knowledge. He told a couple of stories. I'll tell you them, the way he told us( act like I'm him):
" I had a bee-bee gun. . Once, I accidentally shot my brother in the back( ouch).
One day, I was carrying the gun in my hand, and I went up to my mother, who was on the couch. She said,' Make sure that thing isn't cocked.'. And I said, ' Nah, it isn't.' My mother said, ' Point it at the ground, and do not pull that trigger.' I didn't listen, and said, ' It's not cocked, Mom.' I pointed it at this big mirror, and pulled the trigger.The bee-bee flew out, and went straight into the middle of the mirror. It didn't shatter, and today you can still see where it went in. I remember running and hiding behind the TV, when my dad came home."
Well, in church today, we were talking about Eph 6: 1-4: " Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother for this is the first commandment with promise', that you may live long in the land. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
He started with the kids, and had first the oldest kids raise their hands( including me), and then the ones with older siblings, and then the ones with out any siblings. Dad was the only one who was a only child....amazing. Mr. William Plott ( our pastor) said that verses 1-3 are commands not optional. You are supposed to obey your parents. When you obey your parents , you are obeying God.And Mr. Plott said that he's not just speaking to the children, everyone is a child, a child of God is they know/believe him. ( By the way, this is the first sermon that I've really listened to, usually I'm play tic-tac-toe,a or something with a friend). For verse four, he said this verse is a do-not and a command. I can't exactly remember all of this, but he said it pretty clearly.
I guess that all. Noah went to District, but didn't win anything; he and Dad haven't see the results yet, which are on the website, or in an email. I'll see if Dad can load up a few of the pictures, and I'll put them on here later.
See y'all! Sorry, Mom, if I'm acting southern....:)

PJ Day! ;)
VJ had "PJ day" at preschool today. He got to wear his cozy red-flannel rocket PJ's, and I think he's really enjoyed wearing them. Tomorrow is "pj day" again, for the Mon. Wed. Fri. day kids.Don't I wish I could wear my nightgown all day.....I think I'll try that out on Mom either Mon. or Wed. this next week. I can't wear it Sunday, Tuesday( BSF), Thursday( dance) or Friday( LCA).
Well, I guess that's it. Just felt like posting something. Well, one more thing. I am liking math better( than before). I think Dad's going to like that. And for y'all who don't like math, or anything to do with math, it's not all that bad. Once you get to the difference of that area of a parallelogram, and the area of a triangle...there's a real difference between those two!! I'll tell you...to find the area of a parallelogram, take the base and times that by the perpendicular height....but to find the area of a triangle, take the base,and times that by the perpendicular height, and then divide by 2.
A real difference. Mom and I had gone over that about 5 times, and I still missed it on a test.
Oh, by the way, I have SATs coming up .....I think Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I'm not sure.

Eye Appointments.
We had eye appointments yesterday. Noah went too; Mom wanted to make sure that nothing was wrong with his eyes, besides his reading problem. I'm getting my prescription changed( in case you didn't know, I'm near-sighted), just a little bit( who knows what it going to be changed to...).
Anyway, I think that's all. Mom is in need of some help, and I don't blame her...she's had a hard morning/afternoon( homeschooling wears her out, completely...in my eyes).
VJ got a hair cut, and I'll post those pics later.

Tytus Nathaniel Barton.
Tytus Nathaniel Barton was born March 2nd at around 2:30 pm. He was 7 lbs. and 13.9 ounces, and 19 1/2 inches. Congrats, to T-Bone and Stephanie!
+030210.jpg)
Tytus, and Mommy ( Stephanie).
+030210.jpg)
Warm and smiley.....
Stephanie ended up having a C-section...something about her cervix not opening up well, and the medicines they gave her to start contractions, made Tytus' heart rate drop...all nurse stuff.....
Anyway, he's home now, and fine. We have a cuzin! ( I know, I spelled that wrong...sorry Mom... ;) ).
If I can get a video on here( didn't work last time...perhaps I did it wrong), then I will. I'll ask Dad later.
Big news:... Noah and I each are probably getting a goldfish. Mom and Dad are fine with it..( cause we're buying it), and Noah and I have always wanted one.
I guess that's all of the big news....I'll see what other things come up...
T-bone took more pictures, but couldn't load them up till he got home( he took the other ones with his cell phone.). When we get some, I'll post them.
