Watch this sweet video!

my toooth!!!

Okay, yes that's a kind of a lame title but hey it's the truth!

Yesterday Natlaie (only one of the cooliest people on the planet) was over at my house because she had spent the night. We had been having loads of fun when we realized that I needed to do my SALT job at church and she needed to get home before then so I told my mom. Mom had been on the phone with my dad and he reminded her that I had a TOOTH EXTRACTION SURGERY at 2:30!!!!! Okay, seriously how come I didn't know about this. Oh come on, how was I supposed to know that I had anything on the calender when I didn't put it there!!! We all rushed into the car and attempted to put in the address of the dentist into the gps but it wasn't working. Finally we called the office and they gave us the proper address. By the time we finally found the darn place we were 20 minutes late but that's not the point... I had to have a tooth pulled and I didn't even know when it was! Fortunately my mouth was numb when they pulled out the tooth so I didn't feel a thing but I had to have gauze in my mouth to slow the bleeding for a while. Now I get to eat smoothies, yogurt, ice cream, and other soft foods until the opening is all healed up. I was worried that my mouth would hurt and be swollen a bunch but it's not so I know for sure I'll be able to pig out on turkey day!

Yeah for Halloween!

As you should already know yesterday was halloween which might I add is an unofficial holiday even though it is printed on most calendars. Technically no one really celebrates halloween they do participate in it. This year I was going to be Toph from Avatar: the last Airbender(... DUH! ) but I neglected to actualy make the costume so I wasn't going to go trick-or-treating this year *gasp*. Then Ate Kelsey said that I might be able to go with her and her friends. That still didn't solve the no costume problem but I decided to be a jedi again but this time I used a cape with my outfit. Unfortunately this year I didn't recieve as much candy as last year mostly because I didn't go to very many houses but i still had fun. The only down side to the night was that I forgot to finish making my parachute for my bottle rocket project in school and ended up staying up till midnight :( Well till next time... TTFN Ta Ta For Now!

Oh and by the way I love fresh warm chocolate chip peanut butter cookies!

How about them Fires

Wow, it is truly devastating to see how much damage can be done from fire. Fire is essential to our everyday lives but when miss-used it can create a catastrophe. Just in less than a week more than a thousand homes were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people had to be evacuated. It just makes you think how much of our lives we are not in control of, God is. He can start or stop a fire in a matter of seconds and do so much more. His power is so great that not even an army of the strongest men could defeat a flick of his finger. We need to give God control of our lives and keep our faith in Him for anything is possible with God. No matter what God will always be by our side, even when it seems as if he's not.

Moms should get a kick out of this one!

It's been six years!

It's amazing that it has already been six years since the September eleven attack and although I was only in second grade it is still something I remember clearly. The other night on September eleven I prayed for the people out there who are still hurting from this tragedy. My Humanities teacher asked us to do a good deed and write about it on MyGoodDeed. Even though it doesn't sound like much but I made an extra lunch so that I could give it to someone who doesn't have one. Who knows maybe I could be saving someone's life! :0 I encourage you all to do something for another person, not just who are hurting but also those who just need a little encouragement or smile in their day.

Beach Clean Up

Today I went with my entire class of 8th graders to the beach. We did some cummunity service and picked up trash. It is amazing and devistating how many cigarettes are everywhere. It's like people think the sand is some sort of giant ash tray.
Once we finished cleaning up , we played games like tug-o-war, the egg on the spoon game, and a sponge relay race. Eventually we had lunch and played in the water. Me and another girl made a pretty sweet castle type thing. It consisted of a strong outer wall, a moat, an inner wall covered in shells, and 3 rock sculptures in the middle. When we finished it I wrote out "The SEASHELL GARDEN" using small rocks. I was quite satisfied with our work and wish I could show you what it looks like :(. Oh how I love the beach!
