A long awaited update...
Well, seeing that I have not blogged in almost a month, I think I am due.
So...let's see...
I am not quite sure where January went. I think we spent most of that month recooperating from Christmas. We did stay up on New Years Eve until midnight, watching "WALL-E" and "Prince Caspian". And we celebrated my Dad's birthday on the 28th...well we started to celebrate it anyways. That day, before we could do much celebrating, five out of seven of us got sick with the stomach flu. And Gracie had already gotten it two days before, so that made six of us down. Dad did end up getting it minorly a couple days later. So it was a full house for almost a week. During that time, because of the nature of our sickness, we let our stomachs heal by fasting for about two days. So us five kids all played "What's in your Fridge?", deleriously naming all the foods we wished we could eat. It was ridiculous.
This month, we had Gracie's birthday on the 6th, and we were, thankfully, over our sickness and I was able to satisfy my terrible pizza craving. I'm sure I was driving my HSA friends nuts with my moaning about pizza, and even "singing" Larry the Cucumber's "Pizza Angel" song to one of them. :P I made Gracie a really cute birthday crown this year. It's a family tradition that every person gets a paper crown on their birthday, and I was tired of the plain, boring ones we always make. So this is what I came up with:
It's made entirely out of paper. (She's taking to Dad on the phone...he called from work while she was opening her presents. :D )
Next week, I am going to attend an official Homeschool Alumni get together!! And I am thrilled to bits! I've never gone to an HSA event before, and I am going to get to meet at least three of my online friends, plus a whole bunch of other people! We're going to have lots of fellowship time, go sledding, ice skating, do some English Country Dancing (!!!yippee!!!), eat good food, and lots more!
In March, I am volunteering at a local homeschool curriculum fair and setting up an HSA booth. One of the girls from HSA, Emilie C., is going to come up and help me with it! I'm really excited about that! I love book fairs of any kind, and this is the first one that I have actually been able to help out with.
So it's been crazy around here, though fun as always! We lost our electric all day yesterday, not that that was fun...more like crazy. We still don't have hot water, because our basement flodded and our water heater got wet, but we probably will tomorrow.
Plus, I finished an article for a friend's magazine, am working on another novel, and got to watch "Fireproof" last week! Talk about a totally awesome movie! That is definitely going down as the best movie I have seen all year, even though the year pretty much just started, because I doubt I will see a better one. "Facing the Giants" was last years best movie.
Well, that's about it for now. I'm sure I will have more later!
Love, Hannah
