Can't Really Think of an Excuse...

Yeah, I dont even know why Im bothering to post now... Go figure, I really havent been up to anything that interesting, as most of you know.  For those of you who cant really make that assumption, Ive been doing magical things like school, dance, and torturing those whom actually wanted to watch and enjoy the super bowl!  My fingers just really feel like typing and typing fast at this very moment. Maybe its the temperature right now, for some strange reason its like negative-who-knows-what out side, and in our house even, and I am wearing a t-shirt.  :P   Its cold outside, and our whole back yard was pretty much an ice skating ring there for a few days.  And that concludes this completely useless post!  :)

Oh! and the weirdest thing that I did today was probably putting on makeup. Like, not my normal amount of make up, like foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow...  Not quite sure why I did that....

Burning Sugar

Technically, this is Wednesdays weirdest thing, but its just so weird its worth going back for.  So on Wednesday me and Olivia got together to do science, or chemistry.  The first experiment we were required to do was to fill a test tube with sugar, and place it over a flame in a holder.  Then we were supposed to leave it there till the WHOLE tube of sugar melted , or rather burned in to a solid black, nasty lump of burnt sugar.  And let me tell you, that's just what it did.  It took about 15 minutes for the whole thing to pop a little un melted sugar our of its top and start burning.  Fact: It smelled like burning marshmallows.  Maybe that's because marshmallows are pure sugar too...

any who, after 48 hours of soaking there is still a test tube in the kitchen with permanently stuck burnt sugar at the bottom.  :) 

Attempting to Recoginze "The Christmas Song"

Although this wasnt really that weird, it was an adventure to finally discover/remember the title of (what we now we know as) "The Christmas Song."  I asked my mom yesterday what the title of the song that starts "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" she could sing most of the song but had no idea what the title was.  This evening I asked my dad, he could sing the entire song from memory, and still NO idea what in the world the title was.  And as soon as we asked faithful Google what it was we came up with "The Christmas Song" and everyone whent "OOHHHHH! YAA!" 

just a snippit of how stupid and pointless most of the time spent sitting around my house is....

like you care....

the two brothers standing behind me are convinced that this is the stupidest thing I could ever dream about posting, but you'll have to live with it because nothing else interesting happened today.  

Spanish Christmas Songs...

Yep, probably the weirdest thing I did today was sit with my spanish teacher for an hour and a half and attempt to sing almost every Christmas song imaginable, in spanish. It was either that or making little cheesecake things that were supposed to have a whole Nilla wafer at the bottom. But the catch was that the mini cup cake tins were too small and the regular sized ones where NO WHERE to be found (when I say no where, I mean disappeared).

Weirdest Thing I did Today

I figure that because I generally have such a difficult time actually posting that I will cut down my standards a ton and just tell the weirdest thing I did today was. I got this idea yesterday when for probably the hundreth time, I said "This is the weirdest thing Ive done today" So now Im just gonna tell you what that moment was because I have a tendency to identify it anyway.

And today the weirdest thing I did was clean out my closet, actully HANG (this is huge for me, there havent been real clothes in my closet for months) the clothes up, and heres the great part, I hung them in color groups like the rainbow! and thats the weirdest thing I did today.

Just Another Thursday

Some of these following pictures represent me practicing my photography skills. This plant that we were given lifts my spirits every time I see it. Its just so bright and cheerful, and large and healthy, I have so many things to thank God for, especially flowers, pumpkins, and little brothers.

I'm really going to have to learn how to adjust the flash on my camera.
Ben is one if a kind.

Don't ask, because I don't know :)

Our Mae-Belle~ Yes, she is taking a nap in my 17 year old brother's pants that he threw on the floor.

Delaware!

Yes! I finally found my camera cord, so here comes the long awaited post, WITH pictures! My camera got wet, and temporarily would not work, so sorry, I only have a pics of the first day or two.

What we did most of the way there, got people to "Honk for Homeschool" It was great fun :)

Hannah Bears, she looks like a puppy...

WE like to ride with the windows down... dont know if Emmas hair does.
Rachel looking kind of like a dog too.
Me looking tired.
We got a laugh out of these port-a-pottys while we were stuck in traffic, all the time in the car was beginning to make us all a bit slap happy.
We had a fun time wondering why in the world there were random "Bobby's Pottys" along the side of the highway.

A boat on the huge bay. The REALLY big, long bridge.
