...

I haven't posted in a while and I probably won't that much during the summer, but here's what's been happening.

It's summer time!

 

 


 

 

Yay! However, I have to admit that  there's not much to do. I don't know why, but it feels like it doesn't DESERVE to be summer yet. I don't know why, but it feels like I could hold out for a little longer than this. Now, don't get me wrong, it rocks!!!!!!

Fifth Grade... I'm actually looking forward to it. I hope me, Angie, Shalii, (and basically everyone else I know) are in the same class....

It seems like it getting hotter by the minute.......

Today, my brother graduated from 8th grade (or as they said in the speeches, "going from a big fish in a small pond to a small fish in a big pond). Despite the fact that it was burning hot and lasted for two hours, it wasn't that bad! In the beginning, one of the speeches, (since my brother is a wrestler) they mentioned his name kind of like this.

"And the wrestling team this year was great!
The district, league varsity champions : name, name, brother's name, name !!!"

Also, when my brother went to go take a picture with the principal (remember, there's 500 kids ) and he said (and I quote) "Come over here wrestling champ!".

In non-sibling-related news,
TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

Obstacle Course

So, today Mrs. W's class came over after the assembly and we did an obstacle course.
Of course, me, kat, and Shalii, did the course together, but basically it was a sheet of paper that said things to do.
Like "Do 20 sit-ups" or "do 15 jumping jacks" etc.
It was pretty fun. After that we went to Mrs. W's class and she gave us popsicles! Yay!
Of course, me and kat got the same one (red and white) Tongue out.

Shuffling home with groceries

So, today, my dad came home with some groceries (pineapples and stuff)
and handed me a small white box.
"Open it."
As soon as I took the box, I noticed a small silver apple and a
gleaming silver object. I gasped. My mom and brother rushed over,
curious.
"A Shuffle!!!"
Sure enough, my dad happened to be the 5,oooth customer and WON AN
iPOD SHUFFLE just for buying groceries!!!!!!!!!
So, I just downloaded my entire iTunes library onto the tiny (about)
inch and a half mp3 player. More about the teeny phenomenon later.

Pool Party

So, I just have to say that the pool party was AWESOME!
First, we walked to the pool ( the walk was almost as fun as the swim!) .
Next, we swam, which was fun!
And after swimming, we had some snacks, ate pizza, swam again and had some cake.
We walked back again, hot and sweaty to class and watched cartoons (no, really!).
So, it was an awesome day.

Swim Party!

Yay!
The end-of-the-year swim party for our class in on Friday!
Two Days!
Exclamation!!!
Last year, me, Shalii and Angie were the only third graders in the party  (I'll explain later) and what's funny is that Mrs. W's class's swim party was with Mrs. R's class and Mrs, R's party ( ours) will be with Mrs. W!
So get it? Mrs. W was a combo and had six third graders (three, boys, three girls) and Mrs. R's class was all fourth graders. Last year, we only played with each other, and a few fifth graders, but this year, we'll have a bunch of fourth grade friends!!

School will be over in A WEEK AND A DAY!!!!
I can't believe it. It feels like it's only been two months, and you can check our blog for evidence, we've been BLOGGING since November.
