Hi! I'm Alex, a 12 year old girl. Feel free to leave comments. I'm always looking for suggestions! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/alexbug/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Sat, 4 Jul 2009 12:00:00 -0500 Sat, 4 Jul 2009 12:00:00 -0500 What's up?!?!?!?! I haven't been doing anything exciting lately so I thought I would type. I still can't wait until Six Flags! I think we will be going soon. My goal is to ride every thrill ride there. I have a lot of work to do! Oh and  Happy 4th of July!!! I painted my nails red, white, and blue. They look so awesome! Me and my little sis are at my grandparents right now. She is still lovin' her new cats. They've gained a lot of weight so they're doing really well. Boots is as crazy as ever. Last night we watched a huge firework show. My grandparents have a party every year on the 3rd of July. The firework finale is so bright! It's like daytime! And to make it better there's lots of good food! This year we made cupcakes and sugar cookies. Sugar cookies are my favorite. Well I better get going we're about to have lunch, Alex http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/alexbug/705062/ Sat, 4 Jul 2009 12:00:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/alexbug/705062/ Today we gave our grandma her birthday present : a cat. Her name is Lucy and she is the sweetest thing. We picked out her collar and everything. Her name was on the tag and we gave the collar to my grandma. She opened it and said "Awww, you got me a collar for my pig." We had forgotten that she has a statue of a pig named Lucy. It was really funny. Next we brought out all the cat supplies including the litter box, toys, and about everything else. My grandma gave us this funny look and started saying "Did you guys really get me a cat?" "Yeah, grandma!" She said thank-you and thank-you over and over again. So she went home and then met us at the Humane Society at 3:00pm(opening time.) We picked out Lucy and then looked around. We saw this other cat(Kitty) and we imediately fell in love. He was 2 months old and really cute. So while my mom was filling out papers, we put the two kittens up to each other. Lucy hissed at first but then she was fine. One of the volunteers looked at grandma and she said "Let's do it." So now she has two cats for her and my grandpa. Kitty now known as "Boots" is absolutely crazy and Lucy is the snuggler. That is the story of "The 2 Cats instead of 1." OH, and another thing, my grandma's b-day is tomorrow so I want to see how many "Happy Birthdays" I get from comments! So what are you waiting for? START WRITING!!!     http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/alexbug/699384/ Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:57:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/alexbug/699384/ Well it's finally here, SUMMER VACATION! Is everyone enjoying it? I know I am. Camping, Vacations, Water Parks, Swimming and about everything else except school and homework. I love summer! Warm weather and snow are my type. Totally opposite I know! I love cold weather unless there's no snow. Then it's no fun! Can you believe that we only get 2 months!! I could go for a year! This summer we're going to do lots of camping, go see Mount Rushmore and Six Flags! I love rollercoasters, well really anything that makes you scream! I'm more of the "Just Do It," girl. Well, I really haven't posted in a while so I'll get you updated. Today we (me and my siblings) went shopping with grandma. My parents went out of town for the weekend so off to the grandparents we go! I love it there. They have a loft and they put three beds and let us decorate the rest. I put my old hawaiian bedding up there. Okay, right now I'm reading "Mistaken Identity." It's about the two girls who were in a car crash and one survived and the other one didn't. The surviving one was mistaken for the one who didn't and one family thought that their daughter was dead when she was really in the hospital being cared for by the other family who thought that she was their daughter. Wow, that was a mouthful. No really it's a great book since both of the families were Christians. I recommend it highly. Well I'll keep you guys updated... Talk to ya later!!                                                                http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/alexbug/698705/ Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:35:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/alexbug/698705/ Hi!
