A Well Spent 10 Dollars

     Over Black Friday,Molly and Gabe ordered their new iPods.  I got Gabe's old one,and only for ten dollars.  It was a very well spent 10 dollars.  There are 4 games on it, a lot of music, and some other pretty good stuff.  I was really exited!  It is pretty cool.  As you maybe know, a brand new iPod costs around 130 or 140 dollars.  I got a real good deal.  The thing is even still in pretty good shape.
     Also on Tuesday it is the real DMA so I'm a little jittery.  I better go!
      

How did that become gaga?

     On Tuesday it was a historic day at the George Family household.  Hannah threw away her last gaga (binkey) in the trash.  I even got a picture of it in the garbage, but that is way too gross to post on my blog.  Hannah has been sucking her  binkey since she was a little little girl.  Sometime when she was a little, little girl something clicked in her brain.  We kept on saying binkey.  She decided from then on that it was called a gaga,not a pacifier or binkey.  Ever since she has called it exactly that.  It took her till she was 2 months before her fourth birthday to give it up.  I have to admit, I got sick of them and eventually started to secretly throw them away.  I also have to admit that it was really cute when Hannah would flip it upside-down with her tongue and flip it back upside right with her tongue again.  Well, we love our little girl with a  pacifier or without.

Christmas is coming quick!

     Today I am doing all of my Christmas shopping.  I just want to get it done so that I will not have to worry about it.  I pretty much have an outline of what I want to get my brother and sisters.  I don't quite know what to get my mom and dad though.  It will be nice to have it out of the way.
     It is now 11:40 and I have done all of my cleaning for today.  Thanks to my sweet Aunt Jenny , I am now hooked on blogging.  I don't think I mind being hooked though.  I did two posts yesterday and this is my second post in 3 hours.  Well, at least I have something to do during my week off.  I'm sure that I will be blogging  alot this week.  Other than lounging, I'll be reading,and doing probably 4 or 5 posts a day.  How fun!  Today as our job we cleaned the baseboards.  It is very monotonous work,I tell you.  The same thing over and over and over again.  We also did all of our bathrooms and bedrooms on Saturday.  During the whole week I will probably clean.
     That is pretty much all I have to say( for right now!)

Week off =Lots of Lounging

     Well we get one whole week off from school!  Today and tomorrow are teacher workdays,and the rest of the week is Thanksgiving holiday.  Well, I figured something out.  Week off from school=Lots of Lounging.  At 8:01 ( which is usually when I am at school) I am still in my P.J s and slippers and as an added bonus I'm blogging.  My hair is not done, my feet are bare and I am rather cozy. 
     Last night for dinner we had a lot of food.  There was chicken,stuffing, cranberry sauce,mashed potatoes and gravy.  We ate and ate and ate.  It was delicious!  For desert we had peanut brittle.  And this makes it even better it was Grandma's peanut brittle.  We still have some and it is going away quick.
     It is SO cold outside today.  If you read my last post, We are covered in a LAYER (notice I did not say blanekt) of  cold cold snow.  Man , I am very glad I did not have to walk to the bus stop today.  I feel it in my bones I am going to be semi-bored all week this week. I am so glad that I got 3 books from the library.
    See you every one!  

A blanket of snow..........

     Today Amy  had to leave because it was snowing.  Snowing HARD.  Well as you guessed today We were covered in a deep,fluffy, COLD, pretty blanket of  white, sparkly, COLD,snow.  If you ask me I don't know why they call it blanket of snow.  Here's why; snow = cold and blanket = warm.  See snow and blanket are total opposites.  So really the phrase ' A blanket of snow' makes NO sense whatever.

Sumo Wrestling on Sunday

     Not very spiritual I know.  But it wasn't me who was sumo wrestling on Sunday.  If  I was to take a wild stab at it , I would have totally guessed Sydney.  But no!  The one who was wrestling was believe it or not was Molly!  Well it was a little bit of Sydney too. This morning while I was playing my piano, Molly and Sydney were chasing each other and ramming chests with the other.  My mom told me to go get my camera, to take a pic ture.  Molly was all wrapped up in blankets and she looked VERY fat.  Yep, I took a pretty good picture of her.

Yay! A Visitor!

     Hey Everyone!  I am very exited!  Somebody I LOVE LOVE LOVE is coming to my house today! Guess who?  It is the one the only lovely Amy Hatch!  This is the second time she has been here in 3 weeks, but that is no problem! We love her!  She is SO awesome. Hooray! Hooray!She is finally here. Well I am going to go talk to her. ( Eric We ADORE your cute sister! We love her! Your are so lucky you have got her)

     Bye guys!

Beetles , DWAs, and Thanksgiving

     Well two Wednesdays ago we did a practice for the DWA ( Direct Writing Assessment) and had to wirte about a bug.  I know right?  A bug?  Sounds like fun huh?  The scores you can get are a -1, 1, +1, -2, 2 ,+2 etc.   4+,being the highest, is a REALLY good score.  Now on this particular practice, my teacher traded the papers from us to another school.  This teacher gave me a 4+! here is the story I wrote.
                                                                   Hannah's Beetle
     Do you have a younger brother or sister that loves every bug they see?  I certainly do!  My little sister has loved lots of bugs,but I remember this one best.
     "Lacey!  Come look at my beetle!" my youngest sister Hannah yelled.  "I'm coming Hannah!" I yelled back.  It had been an awesome Thursday.  My uncles had come to help my mom, who had broken her wrist, paint our house.
     As I walked into my three year old sister's bedroom, I immediately saw what she called me for.  In a small plastic lunch baggie there was a small, shiny, ugly, black beetle.
     I like bugs, so I asked Hannah where she got it." Me and Micheal and Scotty found it outside!" Hannah said, loving the prospect of having a new pet.  Her cheeks were still rosy from being outside. " That is really cool Hannie!" I replied.
     The next day was Friday.  It was a very typical, normal Friday. The routine was the same as ever. Get up, get dressed, go to school, be bored all day, come home.
     After a (very boring) school day,I was in Hannah's room helping my mommy.  Hannah was playing with her (almost dead) beetle.  Apparently the beetle was not doing what she wanted it to because Hannah started to squish her beetle.
     " No Hannah! Don't kill i......" I said but I was too late.  Hannah had already killed her bug.
     This was one of many bugs that Hannah has loved. Well, at least I thought that she loved it.

Well, that is my story .and by the way Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who reads this.
     P.S. I'm still tyring to get my Birthday Pictures up! Be patient!   

Melelueca

     Today our class went to the Melelueca Distribution Plant.  We learned all about Melelueca and how far it came.  It was very cool!  We saw all of the boxes being shipped out and how strict their policy is.  If bottle of pills does not have the right amount of pills in it there is a machine that can detect a weight difference that small.
There were a TON of conveyer belts. It was awesome!
     Also I would like to put out pics of my Birthday.  Be patient!   I will get them on as soon as I can    

MY BIRTHDAY

Today is my birthday! I turned 11 years old. It is Monday, and it was really fun and exiting. Yesterday was my daddy's birthday so my George grandparents came for a two-in-one visit. My aunts also came. Since they came over yesterday, I opened my presents while they were here. My Grandpa and Grandma George gave me a 14 karat gold necklace. My Aunt Liz and Uncle Jay gave me a REALLY cute sweater that I wore to school today. We ate my daddy's birthday cake and talked and laughed and had an amazing time. My Grandma Syndergaard and Aunt Julie were also among the party goers.
My dad got the movie "Up"(which is a total hoot, you should SO see it if you have not!) My dad works in Logan during the week and he comes home on the weekends. It wasn't 5 minutes after he came in the door on Friday night when my smaller sister Hannah spilled the beans.
"Can I tell him, mommy?" Hannah said to Mom.
"Well," Mom said "Its not his birthday, and I think you should wait, but it is up to you." When I asked my Mom what she had said, she told me that saying "its UP to you" was her undoing.
After Mom said this Hannah covered her mouth, shaking with excitement. " We got you 'Up'!!!" Hannah shouted, not being able to hold it in any longer.
It has been a pretty awesome birthday day!Today since my papa has to go to Logan, he took
me out to breakfast. We took Sydney too. We were missing school so my dad started to tease us about being caught by a truancy officer. Once Sydney (my stinker of a little sister) pointed out the window and said "Look ! There is the truancy officer!" Well, it is natural to look when somebody says look. So obviously I looked. I got teased about that for the rest of breakfast.
Before we went to breakfast, I opened my present! It was exactly what I wanted, a red Canon digital camera. Also, after school my adorable, awesome Aunt Jenny( I love ya Jenny) called me and helped me set up this super fun blog.
Tonight we are having roast beef and mashed potatoes ! Grandma Syndergaard came over and gave me her present, an adorable watch that matches my favorite church dress.
Well, that pretty much recaps my birthday.
