~MONDAY~

Hello! Today is Monday, but it is super sunny and nice and warm. I wrote a special poem about sunshine awhile ago, so I’ll share it with you right now! Here it is:

 

SUNSHINE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bright as honey, warm and sunny

The sun shines down on a bunny.

 

It’s super yellow, like mac ‘n cheese

It makes people happy, especially me!

 

It smiles down it’s toothy grin

People frolic, and dance, and spin.

 

The air is warm, and smiles are big

It makes me want to dance a jig!

 

It’s super fun to play outside

And all the rain on the ground is dried.

 

But when the clouds come rolling in,

I’ll wait for sunshine to come again.

 

I hope you liked it! Comment what you think. This weekend it is supposed to be 90 DEGREES!! I’m so excited. On Thursday, I also got new brush pens. This past weekend when I went to Virginia Beach, so I was able to practice with them. Here are some pictures!

Anyways, this past weekend I went to Virginia Beach for a softball tournament. It was so fun! On Friday my team went out to dinner and then we got cold stone. We only won 1 out of three of our softball games, but we were playing really well. We were done by about 1:30, so we had time to go to the beach! The water was freezing, but one of our coaches paid us to dunk all the way under the water. I got $5! On Sunday, we lost our game, so we had to go home. But was so fun!

Well I’ll see y’all later. Bye!

~STORY~

THE WATER BOTTLE’S JOURNEY

By Faith

 

There once was a water bottle. His name was Steve. Yesterday, he had been sitting on a shelf at Target. Then, someone bought him! His name was Thomas. Today, he was ready for a new adventure at a place called “school”

As Steve got filled up with water, he felt energized he got placed in a little pocket of a backpack. He got picked up on the kid’s back. There, they walked outside and waited for the bus to come.

When the bus finally came, Steve was smushed between 2 other kids with backpacks. It was very uncomfortable. That made the bus ride seem longer.

When Steve got to school, he was so excited! “I can’t wait to see all the different people and places!”  Steve thought. But, all of a sudden, the pouch that was holding him started to slip. Steve was so uncomfortable on the bus, he was squirming a lot and the pouch started to not be able to hold him. Steve lost all control. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” Steve felt the cold, hard ground hit his body. “Ow.”

Steve layed there for what felt like forever. “Help!” he continuously yelled. About 2 minutes later, he started hearing footsteps. “Yay! He’s ba-” Steve stopped midway through his sentence. He felt a cold hand grab on to him that sent shivers down his spine. “ I have a feeling that’s not Thomas.”  He had a bad feeling in his stomach. As his eyes finally were able to make out a face, he noticed it was someone he’s never seen before. Usually, when he first sees someone he’s never met before, he wants to get to know them right away and become friends. But this person’s face was rock solid and not welcoming. “I think- I think it is the- the PRINCIPAL!”  Steve started to have trouble breathing “uh-uh-I don’t feel-” Steve was out COLD.

As Steve felt his eyes flutter open, he wasn’t in the Principal’s hand anymore. He also wasn’t with Thomas. “Where am I?”  Steve wondered. He was on a wooden table. He sat up, and saw a poster. Even though his vision were still blurry, he could barely make out the words ‘Lost and Found’. “OH NO!” Steve screamed. “I have to find a way out!”

 

THE END………… FOR NOW

(part 2 coming soon!)

I hope you liked it! Comment what you think. Have a good weekend! Bye!

~BIRTHDAY~

Hello! Today is Thursday. I’m so excited for my birthday TOMORROW!! I am so excited because I think that I am getting a lot of brush pens for my birthday! I think I may be getting them from 2 friends, and from my family. Tomorrow I will go to school, and then come home and feed Thor! It is his birthday too, so he will get a special treat:) Then I will probably watch tv. I love watching this tv show called “the middle”. My whole family watches it and it is SO FUNNY! Anyways, after that we will probably go out to dinner. I’m not sure where, but either at Outback Steakhouse(I love steak) or Sweet Water (I also love Chipotle, but I went there today). After that, PRESENTS! This weekend I am also going to Great Wolf Lodge. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!

Anyways, I wrote this story called “The WaterBottle’s journey”. It is not a serious story, It is more a children’s story. It is about a water bottle who gets lost, so he has to escape the lost and found and find his way back to his owner- without getting caught! I’m sorry, but I don’t have it with me right now so I can’t share it! Tomorrow I will post the story. Anyways, I wish you all a happy Friday! Bye!

~FAVORITE WORD LIST & NEW POEM~

Hi! Today is Thursday. It is almost Friday! I am so excited for my softball tournament this weekend. Last weekend we were supposed to have a softball tournament, but then it got cancelled for ‘snow’. It didn’t snow AT ALL. So, this weekend will be our first softball tournament! It is supposed to be SUPER NICE so we’ll definitely be playing. Also, I don’t have to wake up early! Our first game is at 3:30. Anyways, in english class the attendance question was “what is your favorite word?” I said that it was sizzle. But, that inspired me to make a word list of my favorite words! Here it is:

-lavender

-smooth

-slice

-spread

-ruffle

-moisturize

-silky

-thin

There are some more, but I forgot. Also, April is poetry month! I made a poem about the color navy. I don’t really dislike it, but it flowed with the poem! Here it is:

 

|| NAVY ||

 

I do not like the color navy.

It isn’t really the color of gravy.

It is not bright or happy or fun,

It doesn’t make me want to lay in the sun.

It isn’t really big or bold,

It isn’t shiny like silver and gold.

So if you ask if I like navy,

I might pull off a big shavie.

 

I really hope you like it! Comment what you think. Bye!

~APRIL~

Hello! How are you? I’m very good. I’m so sorry that I haven’t posted in FOREVER. I had the flu, so I couldn’t post then, and then it was spring break (and to be honest I wasn’t really thinking about school), and then my week was busy. But, I’m glad that I can blog now!

This month is April! It is my birthday month. I am so excited! I really hope I get this pack of brush pens that I really really really really really really really really want. It is 96 brush pens! I want it so badly. I think I may get it! I have been begging my parents for this. But, it is really expensive, so I’m not sure. here’s a link: https://tombowusa.com/dual-brush-pen-set-96-colors.html . The reason why I want it so badly is because I can have a better variety, and for blending. I can have all different shades of pinks, purples, blues, greens, and a lot more!

Anyways, I’m so excited for my birthday! It will also be Thor’s birthday. I will probably give him a special treat, like an apple and a carrot! He will be so happy! Tomorrow is Friday, which I am very excited for. I don’t know what I love so much about Fridays, but I just love them! I have a tournament this weekend, and it is our first one. We may have to play in the snow, which would be so cool.  Anyways, I have to go. Bye!!

~MARCH MADNESS!~

Hello again! Today is Monday. My softball team got our new schedule, and it turns out I have practices on Mondays and Wednesdays. So, I don’t have Mondays free anymore. But that’s ok because I’m used to having stuff on Mondays so it won’t be a big change.

This month is March madness! So far my bracket is doing pretty good. I have Villanova winning. If you made a bracket make sure to comment below (or above) at let me know who you have winning! In case you don’t know what march madness is, it’s the big end of season college basketball tournament. Our family is big Wildcats fans!(University of Kentucky). Anyways, for spring break I didn’t know what my family was doing. We originally weren’t going anywhere, Then last night my dad said that if Kentucky makes it to the final four, we can go to San Antonio, Texas! That is where the final four is this year. I’m not sure if he was joking or not, but he seemed pretty serious. And my mom said that if he goes by himself, my mom, my sister and I would go somewhere else. And if he made that promise for real, that is a good thing because Kentucky is the highest ranked team left in the southern conference! So, it looks like spring break is actually going to turn out really well this year! Bye!

~BRACELETS!~

Hello again! Today is Thursday. I do not have much free time today, because I have self defense and softball. But it is almost the weekend!!!!!! I’m so excited. I don’t think I have anything this weekend so I can relax!

Anyways I LOVE bracelets! My goal is to get a bracelet from every state in the US.

If you’ve seen me, you’ve probably seen me with a lot of bracelets on. I am obsessed with these bracelets called Pura Vida bracelets. They are wax coated bracelets (which means they are waterproof) that are handmade in Costa Rica. I have a lot of them! The money goes to Artisans who don’t have very good jobs. Here’s a link to the website:/

Anyways, I have a lot of them. I get them for holidays (like Christmas, Easter, my birthday.) I’m probably going to get a lot for my upcoming birthday (April!!) and Easter. I am begging my mom to join the Pura Vida monthly club, where you get three braclets each month. I really hope I convince her!

Anyways, I love bracelets and I try to wear them all the time and as much as I can! But I have to go. Bye!!!!

~BRUSH PENS!~

Hello! Today is Wednesday. Today I do not have much free time, but that’s okay because I have Mondays and Fridays free because volleyball is over! Yesterday morning I got a filling in my teeth. They put this numbing gel on my teeth that felt so weird because it also was on my tounge and my throat! Anyways, let’s talk about brush pens!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE BRUSH PENS!!! They are absolutely amazing. In case you don’t know what brush pens are, here’s a picture:

Image result for brush pens

Brush pens are special pens that helps you do calligraphy. If you know who I am, you’ve probably seen me doing calligraphy before, or you’ve seen Mrs. Haseltine’s name in her classroom. That was done by me! I have the primary color brush pens. Here’s the ones that I have:

I’m hoping to get more Brush pens for my birthday this year! There is a 96 pack that I really want, but it is very expensive. But, since it will be my birthday, I may get them!!

I am creating my own calligraphy company, called creative calligraphy. I make monograms on canvases and coasters. But, I haven’t had the time to work on it since my schedule has been so busy! Since volleyball is over I’ll probably have some more time. I’ll let you guys know when I’m finished.

Well I could talk about brush pens for a long time, but I don’t want you to get bored so I’ll have to go. Sorry for the long post here is a picture of guinea pigs eating a watermelon.

Bye!!!

~WEEKEND!~

Hello! Sorry for not posting earlier this week. This week was VERY BUSY. On Monday I had volleyball, on Tuesday I had pitching practice, on Wednesday I had a church activity (from 5:30-9:00), On Thursday I had self defense and softball, and on Friday I had volleyball. Today I had a volleyball tournament, but sadly we lost all our games. Also, our season is over:( My main sport though is softball. I play for a travel team called Loudoun Inferno. I play centerfield, short stop, second, and pitcher. I usually play centerfield. I recently got a new bat that I love! It is the Louisville Slugger LXT. Here’s a picture below: I’m so happy that it is the weekend! Since I had my volleyball tournament all morning, my family and I are just relaxing at home. I also played a lot with my Guinea Pig this morning! I play this game I call “Lettuce Scavenger Hunt”. His favorite food is probably tied between red peppers, lettuce, and timothy hay so I just used lettuce. What I do is I hide lettuce (I pretty much just lay them mostly in plain sight because he is not good at finding stuff), and I let him go on the carpet and find them, and as he finds them he gets to eat them as a reward. Now he is tired and sleeping. Anyways, I have to go. Bye!

~THOR!~

Hello again! Today i am going to write about my guinea pig- Thor! If you can’t see the picture I posted at the top, Thor is mostly black. Half of his face is black, half of his face is white, and there is a little brown by his eye. On his body, there is a big brown spot and a little white strip that looks kind of like a belt. He has a HUGE CAGE! He also gets a lot of attention:) His favorite food is probably lettuce and peppers, but he also loves hay. We give him pellets, but………. He ends up flipping his bowl over to get pieces of hay. He is VERY picky about the pieces that he eats, so he probably only eats 60% of the hay that we give him. He LOVES running laps around his cage, and he also loves it when we let him run around on the carpet! We made him a little tunnel out of an oatmeal cylinder, and he loves it! He always walks through it. We also got him a Thor tsum tsum for Christmas! It is one of his friends. Here’s a video of him to end off this long post. Bye!

*note: in the video, that is not his current cage. Also, It was from a while ago. Thor is much bigger and fatter now.
