In the car on the way home from a play rehearsal today, I heard this conversation between two seven year-olds. They are both home-schooled, and their older siblings are in some of my classes. They are friends and have been for years, (as are their families) and I thought it was especially funny because of that. I thought it was super cute, so I wrote it down.
Little boy: I feel bad for my dad sometimes; do you ever feel bad for your dad?
Little Girl: Why would I feel bad for him?
Little Boy: Well, cause he works all day, then he comes home, and the house is a mess, then he gets all frustrated. Does your house ever get messy?
Little Girl: Yes sometimes it gets really messy.
Little Boy: So does ours. Then we clean it. Do you ever clean your house?
Little Girl: Yeah, we clean it a lot and put our toys away, but then we take them out and it gets all messy again.
Little Boy: Is your car always this messy?
Little Girl: Yes, except when we clean it. Do you clean your car?
Little Boy: Yeah, we clean it. First we get a big box and put all our stuff in it. Then we vacuum it.
Little Girl: Do you like vacuuming?
Little Boy: Yes, it’s my favorite part because it is fun.
Little Girl: Oh, that’s good.
Love it!

Cousins!
On my post about the New Years Eve dance, I said that my cousins visited us. It was a lot of fun, and I'm so glad they could come. Here is what we did with them:
Sunday: They arrived at our house right after we got home from church. (we beet them by about thirty seconds) They had stayed at my grandparents house the night before, and happened to get to our house right as we did. We watched a really good movie called EverAfter (I think) and then we goofed off for the rest of the day. We also played cops and Robbers that night. Its a tradition that we play it, and we usually play for at least an hour or to. We went to bed and the older two cousins and I played The Worst Case Scenario game for an hour till about 11:30.
Monday: My cousins family, me and my little sister went to a beach about an hour away from my house. we were there till mid afternoon. That night we played Cops and Robbers again and watched about five of the original episodes of "Get Smart" (the 1965 version, not the new-ish movie) We also played "Clue" till late that night.
Tuesday: We went to the same beach, but this time it was just my cousins family an I. They brought Inflatable Kayaks with them from Utah, so we went kayaking in the ocean with them. It was really fun kayaking, but it was scary when ever there were big waves. That nigh, we watched "Prince Caspian" and I stayed up late with the two older cousins playing "Spoons"
Wednesday: It rained and was supper cloudy, so we went to the movie theaters and saw "The Princess and the Frog" It was a supper cute movie, and we all really enjoyed it. We stayed home the rest of the day, watched more movies, and goofed off (we do that a lot with our cousins) That night, starting at about 10:30, my older two cousins tried to teach me how to dance. I didn't do so well (come on, it was late:) but we managed to go to bed right before midnight, still laughing.
Thursday: New Years Eve! We went to a different beach this time, but it was supper cold. We went kayaking this time, and it was the only time something really bad actually happened. Here is the story of it:
I was out in pretty deep water with my two older cousins (who are both girls by the way) So pretty much, it was a 15 year old, a 14 year old, and a twelve year old battling waves that were taller then them. (dramatic, aren't I :) We were trying to get back to shore, when a huge wave came. We were side ways to the wave when we saw it, so we quickly turned, and we ended up facing it. when the wave hit us, my 12 year old cousin flew out of the kayak, and the wave went over her, also pulling the kayak on top of her. By the time we could see her again, the wave had pulled us about 20 feet away from her. We tried to stop the kayak any farther away from her, and I stuck out my paddle which she eventually grabbed when she got close to us, then we dragged her back on board. We were really scared because she was breathing super fast, and her eyes looked weird. I just kept on patting her on the back, while my other cousin paddled back to shore as fast as she could. We got back, my uncle came and took my younger cousin back to the place we had chairs set up, and we started to drain the kayak out. (It was full to the brim with water from that wave) We left the beach about twenty minutes later, and my cousin was fine. I think her main problem was that she was just really scared. (I would have been) luckily, I think that that was the worst thing that happened during their visit, so it turned out to be successful. We went to the dance that night, everyone else had fun playing and watching movie at home. I can't wait to see them next time!
Here is a picture of us playing "Mexican Train" together. Its really fun, and we love playing it together. Here are some pictures of us kayaking.
This picture is of right before our kayak compleatly flipped over (dummping us all out in the prosses.)
Happy New Year!

Disneyland (Finally)
As I mentioned on an earlier post, I went to Disneyland with my Girl Scout troop on Monday, spent the night at a hotel Monday night, and then went to California Adventure Park on Tuesday. It was so fun! On Monday we met at my Girl Scout leaders house at about 8:30. We then drove to the hotel we were staying at. The people at the hotel were extremely nice, because they let us put nine people in one room, and they let us park the cars at the hotel all day the second day even after we checked out. We got to Disneyland at about 11am, stayed there all day, and had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe. It was a fun but busy day! The next day we went to California Adventure park, and had a blast! My favorite ride was California Screaming, it was so fun, but before we went on we were all really, really scared! I kept my hands up the whole TIME! (although, my brother argues that when it went upside down, my hand were down:) Here are some of the pictures from both days below.
Here is my troop right after we arrived at Disneyland. We were all so exited!
The first Disney character we say was Cruella De Vil. She was super funny!
In front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle.
Eating the treats my super-nice leader bought us.
Alice and the White Rabbit On the Its A Small World ride at Disneyland.
While we were walking around Disneyland we saw Eeyore. (is that how you spell his name?) My Friend Jenna Really likes Eeyore, but there was a long line to get your picture with him, so she said it would be ok if we didn't go see him. But, before we left I asked him (Eeyore) if he would smile for a picture (there was no one in front of him right then) so he was very nice and waved and smiled for a picture! I love you Eeyore!
This a picture of the Ferris wheel at California Adventure. There is a big surprise if you go on one of the special Cars, but I wont tell you!
The last picture. This is me standing on the "L" in California in front of California Adventure Park. I had a lot of fun and I hope you enjoyed my post!

Cute Potatoes
These Potatoes are SO CUTE! I know, you think I'm crazy for thinking potatoes are cute, but..
when real potatoes are only the size of jelly beans, they are cute!!!
My Mom and my sister were digging in our garden,this is what they found! None of them are more than 2" long! I think that they are all really cute, but these are the smallest and my favorite!

6 Things I Like

Candle making, Cycling, and Carbon Ink
My friend Katie and I made candles. We had a lot of fun. Both of her brothers joined in to! We used real beeswax with old crayon pieces melted in to add color. Also this afternoon, we (me and Katie) biked and unicycled (I was on the bike) around my neighbor-hood. Katie also taught me how to make ink out of carbon, to make it all you do is hold a large METAL (don't use a wooden one) spoon over a candle to collect carbon. You'll know your getting some when the spoon turns black above the flame but don't worry, it comes right off. You may have to experiment with different candles before you get the right effect. when you have collected enough carbon ( the black stuff) then just scrape it off (we used a toothpick) and mix it with about a drop of white school glue. How much you need depends on how much carbon you have. If at first you don't seem to be getting any carbon on your spoon try holding it closer to the flame. Just be careful around the fire! Have fun!
The finished candles. They turned out really nice, the lighting for the picture just wasn't great.
