They Posted It! They Posted It!

Everybody here remembers The Crayon Project from The Sad Ballad of my Fingernail? Well, I recently sent in an article about the project which encouraged people to send crayons to me to our neighborhood newspaper. When the paper came to our house, I opened it to the 5th page and gasped. MY ARTICLE WAS THERE! I ran around the room shouting, "They posted it!" at the top of my lungs! Now those long afternoons might not be so long anymore- and we'll be putting them toward a good cause!

So, here's the question.....

What was the FIRST elected legislative body in America?

Good luck!

P.S. Special thanks to the person who made my Social Studies interactive notes, the source of this question.

Happy Birthday, Gigi!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GIGI.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really should be saying Happy Belated Birthday because her birthday was a few days ago, but I feel like it's her birthday today because we are coming over for a celebration!
Well, who cares about dates and times and things. I still will say.....
HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY, GIGI!

Our New Puppies

My little sister and I got puppies today!
OK, they aren't really puppies. They're just balloon puppies that we got at the dentist. But we are making them a home on a shelf. So far we put beds and food dishes in, but we aren't done yet! We might be adding some more furniture-and I might be blogging a bit more about this creative project!

Home At Last!

The last post I did before going off to Ohio and Maryland said that I would be blogging about all my adventures in each state.
Well, things didn't quite work out the way I planned. I did so many fun things on my trip that there was no time for blogging!
My cousins and I did a lot of fun activities together, such as playing Wii, watching TV, playing board games, playing outside, going out to eat, shooting movies, going to parks, camping, and more! When we got home, I began working on stories that told about what happened on our trip. Here is one of my favorites so far:
Day 2 in Maryland
6:30-Wake up.
7:00- My cousin S FINALLY wakes up. We shoot some videos together.
7:20-Head downstairs.
7:30-Another cousin, M, wakes up.
8:00-Another cousin, L, wakes up.
8:10-Play Summeropoly, a homemade family Monopoly.
8:30-Start my daily routine. Breakfast,brush,dress.
9:00-Play Wii.
12:00-Eat lunch and write a journal entry.
12:10-Blog a bit.
12:30-Head down to the basement with S to make a video game.
1:00-Test out the video game.
1:30-Take a break so we can take a hayride! WHEE!
1:35-Keep testing the game.
2:10- Do some major hayriding!
3:00-Keep testing- for a bit.
3:30-Uncle J comes home!
4:00- Play outside in the rain (it's really a hose) with M.

6:30-Come back out.
7:00 -Come back in. We'll be watching The Pink Panther.
7:10-Start setting up the room we'll be watching the movie in. We add pillows, blankets, and more!
7:30-Kill some time by reading.
7:40-Get PJs on.
7:50- A leaves- or so we think.
8:00- Get some more pillows.
8:01 Movie starts.
8:10- A returns! She'll be sleeping over!
9:45-Movie ends.
10:00-Brush teeth.
10:05-Bedtime!


Even after all my travels, I'm so glad to get back home!

Summertime Traveler

The biggest event of the summer is here....

The COUSIN TOUR!!

Where we'll be traveling through Maryland and Ohio using blogposts!

I'll be blogging about all the adventures I have with my family!

Now I've got to go. I promised Mom that I would go outside after this post. And I have to get my cousins off the Wii so they can come out with me. "We've been playing since 11:oo!" GRR......
