SNOW!!!

     We got out of school at 1:45 on Friday- an early release, because it was supposed to snow!! It started snowing at like 5:30-6:00. I was at Taylor's house, because she was having a party. We made pizza, because she had dough, and I put Alfredo sauce then cheese, then pepperoni, and then cheese, and then pepperoni, and then more cheese! When they were done, it was soo good! When it was almost time to go, we went sledding at a hill behind their house, that had 2 hills- one in front of the other. It was soo much fun!
     The next day, Saturday, my basketball game was cancelled, so we had to shovel off the driveway, but instead started an igloo! The boys took the coolers and stuffed the snow in it, and then poured it in my arms, and I would place it in the igloo shape! Then we went sledding by our house, and met up with the Jarvis' and went to a park that had a HUGE hill that was really wide, and so we all went sledding there. Pete and Kent went off the jump, Kent went only once, and Pete went lots of times!! I went up and down the hill the most though! It was amazing, and then we went to the Jarvis' and had Domino's Pizza and played Blurt! Then we went home and watched Up!
    Church was cancelled, so today, we continued with our igloo (which still isn't done), made a jump, and went sledding. The Jarvis' are coming over at 1:00, and we are going to play games all day!

Yeah!

Ooh, I won at knock out! AND I got the best basketball player in our class out! Woooohoooo!

The SAT, Briixx, and Loco for Coco!

I have no clue why I am taking the SAT in 7th grade. Oh well, it is over now and....I survived! It was easy but gradually got harder. It was soo long! We got to Grimsley High School at 7:45AM and we started at 8:45AM. One hour of waiting in line (in the cold), and in an auditorium. Once it started there was an essay, then language arts and math switching off and on. There were breaks scattered in between, where you got to eat snacks you brought, and go to the restroom. It was eventually over at 1:15PM.

When the test was over, I went out to eat with my parents at Briixx Pizza or something. The pizza, pasta, and salad was AMAZING! We got 4 kinds of cheeses and pepperoni on the pizza, and shrimp Alfredo pasta! We had Ceaser Salad, which was delicious!

Soon after (although we were stuffed) we went to the Loco for Coco store right beside the restaurant. That store is a place designated for CHOCOLATE! We bought like 7 pieces of chocolate, and chocolate bacon. The different types we got were: chocolate covered orange peels, chocolate chip cookie double dipped in chocolate, 2 chocolate covered oreos, 2 dark chocolate covered almonds, chocolate covered cherry, and the chocolate covered bacon! The chocolate orange peels weren't really orange peels, but you got an orange taste. The 2 chocolate almonds were a cluster of almonds covered with chocolate!! All together it was $17! It was an outrageous price, but it was delicious! (We haven't tried the bacon yet!)

Then, my mom and I went to Edward McKay, and was there for an hour and a half. There, we bought a series, another part of a series, and some really good looking books. We bought $30.50 worth of books, which used up exactly the amount of money in store credit that we had. Today was a good day (although I had to wake up at 6AM for the SAT)!

I love pandas!!

FRIDAY!!.....brings SAT

Today is Friday! What a relief! Except for the fact that I have the SAT tomorrow, starting at 8AM. I have to be there at 7:45 though. 5 1/2 hours of torture! Wish me luck!
