Small Update

I added some new music to my blog, and I'll be putting up a new poll soon.

Dad's going to a Dave Matthews concert at the Gorge today with one of his friends.

We started watching a new baby, Caleb, last week! He is 3 months old, and very cute. (He cries A LOT, though) I'll put a picture of him up soon.

School is starting soon. :( (BLEH!) It starts on September 10th. Ethan is thrilled, and can't wait to start, while Abby and I are quite the opposite. Ethan will be going into the 3rd grade, Abby'll be going into the 2nd grade, and I'll be going into the 6th grade.

I know my birthday is more than 3 months away, but I already know have a few ideas for the main things. (The theme, guests, etc.) I'm probably going to either have a Mexican fiesta, or a monkey party. (In terms of food, I'm leaning towards the monkey party, as I'm not fond of much Mexican dinners, such as enchiladas, taquitos, etc. But I do like quesadillas! And I do LOVE Mexican desserts!) I'd like to mix the two somehow, but how do you make a Mexican monkey fiesta?) I want a small party this year. (Only about 6 guests or so) And maybe if Mom lets me, I might be able to have 3 girls sleep over!

...And that's pretty much it. Ciao for now!

O_O

I was leafing through one of the schoolbooks I'll have to use this year in 6th grade, and I found a couple of sections that were totally 100 percent wrong. *Snicker*

The first one explains how Earth began. (It says that 15 billion years ago, a tiny singularity expanded, and at that moment, which is known as the Big Bang, space, time, and the raw materials of everything were created.)
The second one tells us all about evolution. It also shows pictures of how we supposedly evolved from ape-like animals. (Even I know that's not true, and I'm only 11!)

So, yeah. I know more about some subjects than the text-book does. It just amazes me how my school could even send me something that's totally 100 percent wrong! (Well, on some chapters, anyways)

Ay, yi yi. This is going to be a long school year.

Mini Update

I now have my own Toontown account! I am currently in the process of switching my Toon from Ethan's account to my new account. (It takes 1-2 days) It should be switched over soon, as I sent the info a few days ago.

I miss my twins! :( I haven't seen them in almost 3 months. (Their Mom's a school teacher, so we only watch them during the school year)

I'm currently in the process of editing The Adventures of Candy Girl and Monkey Boy, Volume 2, Mr. Healthy's Revenge! I don't know what I'll be selling it for quite yet, but I won't make it too expensive! (Hey, I have to make money off of it somehow, right?)

The Adventures of Candy Girl and Monkey Boy, Volume 1

Please note that downloading the book is NOT free; it costs $3.75.

Also, I have slightly edited the book, so it's not exactly the same as it was before.

Thanks, Patricia!

Warning: The next post in Mom's blog will most likely contain TONS of bragging because...

I had to take a CAT, (California Achievement Test) and my overall grade level was 11.3. (That's the 3rd month in the 11th grade)

My scores are as follow:

• Vocabulary: PHS (PHS indicates the approximate score to be expected if a high school graduate completed EXACTLY the same test)
• Comprehension: 9.5 (5th month of the 9th grade)
• Spelling: PHS
• Language Mechanics: PHS
• Language Expression: PHS
• Mathematics Computation: 4.8 (8th month of 4th grade)
• Math Concepts: 7.5 (5th month of 7th grade)
• Study Skills: 8.1 (1st month of 8th grade)
• Science: 6.7 (7th month of 6th grade)
• Social Studies: 11.0 (11th grade)

Not too bad, eh? Mom is SUPER happy, and she started busting a Joe Brogen (don't ask) on the phone when she was telling relatives/close friends about my test results.

Just when I thought school was over!

I have to do a silly test. And not just any test. It's the California Acheivement Test. It's, quote Mom, "to see where you are in school. You know, if you're above grade level, at grade level, or under grade level."

Yawn. Silly questions+a math test that doesn't let you use calculators=one bored soon-to-be 6th grader!

Abby Moment

This is one of the funniest Abby Moments yet!


"What did you do in Math today, Abby?" Dad asked her after she completed her schoolwork for the day, "did you do addition?"

"No," was Abby's reply.

"Then what did you do?" He asked.

"Pluses!" She declared.


And this concludes that in Abby-Land, addition and pluses are two totally different things.

Abby Moment

And now, what you've all been waiting for! *Drumroll* Another Abby Moment! Please note that this one is similar to another one Mom posted.

Abby and I were washing the dishes, (okay, I was washing them, and Abby was drying them, and putting them away) when she suddenly dropped a pan back in the sink. "You missed a lot, Sierra!" she declared.

"Missed what?" I asked her, confused.

"THIS!" She exclaimed, pointing to the black, non-stick coating on the bottom.

"Pookie, that doesn't come off." I told her.

"Yes it does!" She argued. "You're just not scrubbing it hard enough, lazy-butt!"

"Ay, yi yi." I muttered under my breath.

Weather, Babysittees, Ballet, and a funny story

Today's Friday, and it's supposed to be about 70 degrees today. YAY!

Rachel left a while ago, and Kelvin is napping.

Pookie has her first ballet class today! She can't wait!

The other day, when Mom told her that we would be getting her ballet slippers after Dad got home, she jumped into Mom's arms, and said "I love you so much!"

Quick Update

Allycat (Alison) has to have surgery on her eye tomorrow. :( (She has a clogged tear duct) Which means the only twin we'll have tomorrow is Baby Ethan. However, we will still have Kelvin and Rachel. (At least the boys won't have to fight over who gets to nap when, since we only have 2 playpens for them to sleep in)

Pookie's going to be taking ballet this summer at the local recreation center! She is absolutely thrilled, and is practicing with her Bella Dancerella Ballet Set as I type.

Ethan and I are going to be taking Tae-Kwon-Do this summer at the same recreation center this summer, but it starts after Pookie's ballet class ends.

And that's pretty much it for now. Ciao for now!
