This is my everyday life. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:29:00 -0500 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:29:00 -0500 Hello everybody.  It's been a long time since I have blogged.  I am in Boy Scouts now, and I have grown out my hair, but then buzz cut it yesterday. Before:   After:   Big change!  I like it because it feels I've lost a load (of hair).  I think I now weigh 2 pounds less than I did before. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/522720/ Sat, 26 Apr 2008 11:29:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/522720/ Last  night  was  my   birthday,  well  not  my  original  birthday,   it  was  my  scout birthday.  A  scout   birthday  is  when  you are 2-4 months away from  bridging over from  cubscout to boyscout .   For my present, I got to play a game and eat a snack.  I also got to make a fire with the older boy scouts, although I did want to go with the younger ones since I knew alot of them.  The game was that the first one to burn a rope to the top won.  We had to use the earth's elements and only 2 matches.  The other team won because they used pinestraw.  The younger team didn't even start their fire until the other team won.  Our team took second place.  I will bridge in January.  Until then, I have to get my Arrow of Light award.  I have to get one more pin, the Outdoorsman.  I also have to go camping with the boy scouts one time. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/202827/ Fri, 15 Sep 2006 11:08:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/202827/ Only 10 more days until my BIRTHDAY!!!  I can't wait to blog then. I got a new GameBoy and we got two games to go with it.   Those games are Spiderman and Donkey Kong.  Donkey Kong is for GameBoy Colors, but you are able to play it on GameBoy Advanced which is what mine is.  My friend has an SP.  They call it an SP because you don't have to stand in the light to play.  The GameBoy Colors is cheaper, but it is really old and they die really fast. Yesterday we went swimming for a really long time at my friends pool.  His brother got a new kick board which was fun.  The bad thing was that when he was trying to surf he fell down and the kickboard was still attached to him.  We had to help him get up before he drowned!!!  Luckily, he survived.  That is why you should never use the attachers unless  you are on the ocean.  We used the attachers as a rope  to pull us after that which was much more safe. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/186220/ Fri, 18 Aug 2006 12:35:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/186220/ I am sorry that I haven't blogged in a long time, I have been doing lots of stuff.  I have been reading my Redwall book, it's the first one of the series.  I got a new dog named Oreo.   We called her Oreo because she is black and white.  She is about 3 or 4 months old now. My birthday is coming up at the end of the month!  I will be 10 this year.  I might be going to the Laser tag center for my party.  I hope that I will be able to. This summer, I have been swimming alot!  We have also been going to Gymnastics and it is getting easier.  The bad thing is that I won't have the same teacher this year because she left since she hurt her leg really bad.  Three or four weeks ago,  I got a new game for my GameCube.  It's called Medal of Honor-European Assalt.  It is fun, but it isn't as hard as the other Medal of Honor-Front Line. I can't wait for hunting season this year, my Dad might let me shoot this year.  I am hoping that if I am able to, I will actually shoot something. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/182204/ Fri, 11 Aug 2006 12:20:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/182204/ Today  I go to  gymnastics.so  does my  brother &  sister.  I just joined and so did my sister.  I really like it! We have been studying in History, Ancient Greece.  It is one of my most favorite subjects.  I learned how to make pottery like the Myceneans.  I think we will do more today.  The people before the Myceneans were the Minoans.  They lived in the island of Crete.  They were great shipbuilders.  Some of my favorite things in History is listening to some of the stories that they told. Next year my Mom is going to be the school Support Group leader so she had to answer some questions about my favorite subjects.  I chose Reading and Science. The thing I like about Reading is that my Mom lets me read whatever I want as long as it is at least on my grade level. The best thing about science is that we get to do fun experiments.  Hopefully soon we will make a volcano.  We are about to grow crystals this week.  Last time we grew them, Andrew shook the holder and it all crumbled. Spy-Ty, over and out   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/123984/ Tue, 25 Apr 2006 12:32:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/123984/ I have pizza every Wednesday night when I go to my friend's church.  I love going there because they have fun and games and we get to play cool games like Bible Trivia  and Chinese freeze tag and cartoon freeze tag.  When you play cartoon freeze tag you have say  a phrase of the character that you are when you get tagged and if the person doesn't guess who you are then they are automatically tagged! I ALWAYS know who my brother is because he only chooses SpongeBob or Patrick. We go to a P.E. class on Wednesdays.  Yesterday we played a cool frisbee game, but we had no idea that we were exercising at the same time.  My little sister gets to play with her friends each time we go.  Next year she will be old enough to participate with us. Next week we are doing the Shuttle Run and that will be it for P.E. for the year .  I can't wait for it to start back next year. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/113482/ Thu, 6 Apr 2006 11:59:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/113482/ This is me and my Dad and my baby brother.  We are sitting by the fire at our campsite.  The temperature felt like it was below freezing almost every night and day!  There were big woods all around us.  We would go to gather firewood and sometimes we would just go out for fun.  It was the greatest time of my life.  We got to stay with four of my best friends Luke, John Pierce, Caleb and Garth .   At nighttime it was super-cold, but we would make a fire and roast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate to keep us warm.  I like my marshmallows burnt.  Sometimes you need to stop the fire or it will melt straight away.

Today, I am looking forward to looking at some dead skin from my foot and some hair from my head.  We also have some slides that are already prepared like a feather and we will be looking at some more of those today that belong to our neighbors. I really like my microscope, I am really interested in all of these things that I find. I also have my own telescope.  We are going camping this weekend and I am looking forward to looking into it at night.  Most of my friends might come too! SpyTy~over and out http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/103721/ Tue, 21 Mar 2006 10:55:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/SpyTy/103721/ A few day's ago we went on a couple field trips.  The first one was a cookie factory.  I got to see how they made the cookies and when you go to the stores to buy them, the mini-cookies are only $0.99!  We were able to sample cookies just out of the oven.  Next, we went to one of our local news stations.  It was very big and since was the first time I ever went, it was quite a surprise.  We got to meet the sports reporter and he gave us free footballs (the little plastic kind).  Then we were heading down to where they do the news, but they were doing a commercial so we  had to go down  to where the sattelites were and wait.  It was outside so we played football while we waited.  It took about 15-20 minutes to finish the commercial.  That was good timing for a good game.  When we went back in, we got to see the studio and meet our weather guy.  Below is a picture of us on a TV screen doing the weather!     What you see on TV is not the way it really is.  It is really just a big wooden green wall and the weather guy uses a projector to show the places, but he can't see them.  He can look at the TV screen that is in front of him which shows him what we all see. On another subject, I do guitar practice on Saturdays.   I am still learning the basics, but it is getting easier and easier every week.  It is fun, I can already play a song, it is just not that well yet, but I am getting the hang of it. Now to the Hobbit like I said that I would.  I just finished the chapter Flies and Spiders,  I am going to tell you how the journey begins.  It all starts out with a plain old hobbit called Bilbo.  He has a wizard friend named Gandolf.  Bilbo is told he will be a thief for this adventure.  Him and 12 dwarfs have to go on the journey to stop the dragons smaug and to go through many riddles and to find many weird creatures like Gollum.  If you ever read the book, I hope that you have a good time.  I love it!  Oh, yes, and when you get to the Elven Halls, it is really funny.
