Aug. 20, 2007 - Broken Computer
I wanted to let all of you know that our computer is broken and I haven't been able to blog for a while. I am typing this on my dad's laptop, but I don't get to use it every day. I am still reading your blogs when I can and I will post as often as I can as well. I will answer the tag from booklover as soon as the computer is working again! I'm so glad you tagged me! I miss blogging so pray that our computer is fixed soon! Thanks!

this is the first chapter of the story I'm writing
It was a windy saturday after noon Elizabeth came out the back door now it was a warm day but the wind made Elizabeth chilly so she went inside. Her mom was in tha office typing hey mom Elizabeth said may I bake some cookies? sure honey as long as you put on your apron said mrs. Harper okay mom. While Elizabeth was geting out the ingredients the phone rang it was Elizabeths best friend Emily. Hello said Elizabeth hey Liz what are you doing? baking said Elizabeth baking what? cookies oh what are you going to do when you're done? I don't know hey do you want to come over? asked Elizabeth (Elizabeth had made the cookies while she talked) sure the next thing she heard was the knock on the front door(Elizabeth and Emily where next door neighbors) Elizabeths mom answered the door hello mrs.Harper hello Emily Elizabeths in the kitchen when Emily got to the kitchen she asked are you going to make a another batch?(Elizabeth usually made two batchs) yes anwered Elizabeth do you want to help? sure answered Emily but I have to be home in an hour to make dinner okay said Elizabeth. When the cookies were done the girls went outside two eat them I love baking don't you asked Emily yes and it would be even more to have a bakery.

Jul. 19, 2007 - Art and Swimming
I'm sad swimming lesons ended to day but on the bright side I past and instead of passing level 3 which is the one I was signed up for I pasted level 4! And I got my dive and surface dive perfect. We did four laps across the pool non stop today first we did the front stroke then the back stroke then the breast stroke (frog) then last but not least we did the elementary back stroke.
In the hall way to the living room we have an"art gallery" it is things that that my brothers and sister I have drawn or colored. My faverite that I have drawn is the statue of liberty maybe next time I write a post I will show you some pictures of my art work

Jul. 13, 2007 - Summer Fun
I have been taking swimming lessons! Right now I am learning how to dive. I have also been practicing my back stroke, front stroke, frog and elementary back stroke. My favorite is the frog. I am not very good at diving so I'm glad that the class isn't over. I have class for one more week.
I've also been reading from the summer reading list my mom and I made. I've read two books from the Sophie series and Ellen Tebbits. I have eighteen more books to read. I got more Sophie books today from the library and two Mrs. Piggle-Wiggles. I got three different kinds of cook books.
I love cooking. I wanted to see some new recipes. I may be having some friends over soon and we're going to make Turkish Delight. I've been making banana bread this summer and muffins with strawberry jam cooked inside.
I've been trying to practice piano, but it's too loud and disturbs people. I am learning to play You're a Grand Old Flag. Sadly, our piano is out of tune.
It's been raining a lot where I live. We haven't had storms, just peaceful rain. I'm glad it's keeping the temperatures down, but it makes the water cold when I go to swimming lessons!

Jul. 5, 2007 - Miss Potter
If you haven't seen Miss Potter then you need to go see it! It is an excellent movie it inspired me to work on my drawing and writing. It made me laugh because of the silly animals and it made me cry because Miss Potters fiancè dies. I had to keep reminding myself that it really happened. It is a wonderful story I highly recommend it.
If you would like to read about Miss Potter's life I recommend

Apr. 18, 2007 - The Toymaker
The Toymaker is a web site that I go on when I want to do a craft. I print out what I want to make, the last thing I made was paper furniture. You can print out the same furniture, the Toymaker calls it fairy furniture, but I only use it for my paper dolls! All you have to do is print out what you want and cut it out (for some of them you may have to glue) and you have a new toy!
