The Next Day

The next day we woke up and had pancakes and bacon. we made a rubber band bracelet for Joshua because we were going to his birthday party. His birthday party was at Jumping Jacks. After we made his bracelet we got Cayla ready to go home. We gathered all her stuff and then we took her to Joshua's birthday party. Jumping Jacks is a big blowup bouncy castle place. It has one bouncy castle, Three bouncy slides, two huge basketballs and a basketball hoop, and tunnels with obstacles in it. We played tag and "Hit Mr. Herzog( aka Joshua's dad) with a basketball." It was lots of fun. after that we ate pizza and Joshua opened presents. We got him a wolf puzzle because his favorite animal is a wolf. After the party was over, Cayla's dad picked her up.

Sleepover!

Yesterday my friend Cayla  came over to my house for a sleepover. we have been wanting her to come over for a long time because we finished a book called Eragon there is a movie that goes along with it so we have been wanting to watch it. We also have been wanting to make rubber band bracelets with each other. After school Cayla and I walked home from school to my house and we went downstairs to shoot my bow. after that we got our snow gear on and Cayla and I walked to Trinity to play on the snow hill. We brought sleds. After awhile at Trinity we went over to Russell. We didn't do much because it was already almost time to go back home but we did play on the dinosaur slide that Cayla has been wanting to go on. After that we went home and had some dinner and then went hot tubing. We played doctor in there. After that  we had a cup of hot chocolate and watched Eragon. The movie wasn't that bad except it didn't really follow the book. Look at my next post for details about the next day.

Don't Forget....

For all those people that forgot to turn their clocks forward last night here is your reminder! Spring forward!

A New Kid

Our class has been hearing that we were going to get a new kid in our class. Mrs. Braaten said it was going to be a boy. All the girls were sad because we only have six girls in our class and we had nine boys. Now we were going to have ten boys and nine girls. It is terrible! We figured out Keaton knows him. his name is Teegan. he came to our class Wednesday. He really liked our school. He came from Peterson. He came to our school the following Monday. After he settled in we figured out we were getting another boy! He came to our school in second grade and in third grade but he left last year. Now he came back. His name is Kyler. Now the girls are really outnumbered with 11 boy and only six girls! Now we just hope that we get more girls!

Ice Fishing

On Thursday our fourth  grade class went ice fishing on Peterson Lake. They carved 60 holes for us to fish in. We used maggots for bait. I had white ones. Some of them were still alive! It was hard to bait the hooks. We had to put about 4 maggots on the hook. Once we got them on we would put the hook in the hole and swing the barrel down and wait till the hook dropped all the way down. Once it dropped all the way down you swing the barrel back up and reel the line in only half a turn and wait until you see the tip of the rod wiggle. Once you see it wiggle you reel it in and see if you have a fish. Everyone caught at least one fish. You could keep however many perch you wanted. We kept all of the perch we got. Only the big ones we took home for eating. We kept the other ones for dissecting. Some day we are going to dissect them. I caught one fish. It was about six inches. The ice was about one foot thick! They said they try to keep it ten to a foot thick.

Cute!

This is soooooo cute!  Do you think Willy would carry the chick?
