So, if all goes well I will post when I get back. Bye!

I have somethings to write about though. Well, this morning I was cleaning up my room so the window cleaners can wash my windows. I was taking something out to the garage, and Laura was my, so to speak, " door opener" . She was opening the laundry room door when she looked down and found an ant nursery. There were proboally 100 ants, and 300-500 larve. It was neat and gross. Neat because we just learned about ants, and how each one has it's own job. But it was kinda gross to know that my mom saw them there yesterday, and there were no larve. So, either they brought the "queen" there, or made our laundry room their new home. YUK! So, here comes the sad part. we had to dispose of them right? Now, for you animal lovers, please do not think that I enjoyed doing this or did it just to be mean. God made ants to live outside, not in my laundry room. My mom went and got a can of lysol and sprayed them. they literally died when it hit them.  We are ant free for the day. And one other thing. I would never do this if the ants were where thay belong.   OH, about a week ago, my family and I went on a walk to a creek behind our house. Jake and I used to go and help out Laura's daycare, and we would take the kids to this creek(the daycare was in-home, and about 2 blocks away). We went there last week to do science. It was so neat. You could really feel the presence of God. There is a BIG open meadow, and little yellow flowers. The creek was flooded though. Jake and I diddn't hesitate, we went right through the water and got our feet wet, if you will. Siince it was flooded, mom and Jesse stayed behind and played. The flooded water had created a "waterfall" into the creek. It was so pretty. Then we did science. Which brings me back to the ants. That is part of what we learned about. How each ant has it's own jub, and how each one has a duty to protect the others.  Well, we're going on a "hike" tomorrow, and it has a big creek. i gotta go, And oh, check out my new blog from time to time. bye!

I spent the night at a friends house last night, and then had to get up early to go to the buildabear party(bleh). We went to old navy, target, stein mart, then the party, then trader joes, and then costco. It was a packed day. sorry bout my capitalizing, i just am not in the mood for it! the build a bear party was weird. it was so ceremonial, like when u put the heart in, you rubbed it over your ears, eyes, tummy(as they say), hands, and it was just weird. you did all of those to make sure that your bear could heare, never be hungry, and it was , strange. I have nothing wrong if you like it. i don't. allthough, laura jo always hates it when i have to leave. so i thought that the bear could be a "Sisse Bear" so that when either one of us goes away, we can keep the bear. idk. ttyl.

Bubbles and Birthdays. Well, we've been "STUDYING" bubbles. Not as in school. But on our own time. We used empty electric wirl cases, like the stuff that encloses the wires, and twisted them into circles and dipped them in homemade bubbles. We made a couple of bubbles that were a foot around! And, well the first three days of may have b-days. My dogs is may 1, papa's may 2, (today) and tomarow I have a birthday party to go to at build a bear workshop =(. I have nothing against going except for the fact that the girl whose b-day it is, is almost 3 years younger than me. And, I really don't want to do build a bear. I am spending the night at a friends house tonight, and then it is time for errands in __________. (I can't say) TTYL. PLEASE! help me get to 50 comments!

Yup. Daddy free for the week =(.  This is funny. But today I got a mini bag of candy. It had a tootsie roll, a piece of gum, a starburst, and two hersheys kisses. I have a complaint, though. The hersheys had the flavor of the gum. I am like my dad in that way. I have very strong tastebuds, and can taste the slightest trace of anything. like when my mom puts a drop or two of vanilla in the french toast sometimes, I can sniff it out like a hound dog! I am a lot like my dad in odd ways like that. We both have very strong peronalites, which means they clash,and when he gives me a lecture, I, unfortuneately have to hold thet personality back and shut my mouth. I think that is one way God is testing me. To be a follower at times, and to be the leader at others. I am a definate leader in Church. I am what you call a Teacher Helper. I am given bigger responsabilites, and have to take them like a BIG GIRL! LOL!, I gotta finiish my laundry, so by by!
