Japanese School

There is an AWESOME Japanese school in Sheridan, for 4th to 12th grades.
They hold some Japanese traditions there, like wearing slippers or socks inside the building instead of shoes to keep the building clean. 
It is like a Japanese school with modern adjustments. 
They do not only speak Japanese ( English is their fluent language ),  but the teachers know it, and the students are taught it. 
I went there for a tour.
It was SO FUN!!! ( and I mean so,so, SO fun!!!)
 I have a friend who goes to school there 5 days a week named Emma Jaegar, who is in 4th grade.
The 4th and 5th grades combine classes, so I got to be with her.
This was my classes' order:
Spelling, Exercise P.E, Math, Snack Break, Social Studies,  Lunch, Playing P.E, Science, Japanese, leave.
I want to go to school there someday...

Turning 10

So sorry everyone, I have not posted since June!
I turned 10 on July 15th.  My party theme was "Harry Potter."
We did a bunch of fun things.
First we all got "Sorted" by the "Sorting Hat"(a sparkly plastic party hat).  Mom was the voice of the Hat.  I was in Ravenclaw.
Then we played Pin the Glasses on Harry Potter.  My Aunt Mary drew the picture- she did an awesome job!

  Jacqueline and Athena tied for closest- no one got it exactly.

After that we played "Spell Tag."  Then we played pretend Quidditch.

Then we had "Potions Class" with Professor Snape (a.k.a. Dad). We made glitter glue, and a potion with melted gummy bears.                                      
Then-  Dinnertime!   We had lasagna, green beans, milk, and crusty garlic French bread.  Yummy!
After that was cake. My cake was a golden snitch!!!  I designed the white wings.  My Mom made a chocolate cake and frosted it with yellow vanilla buttercream frosting.    
                                              
After that, present time!!!  I got so many awesome presents!  I got lots of books and stuffed animals.

Then was a movie.  We watched "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Then we slept on our hide-a-bed.

Sleepover/ Emma's B-Day

The Bassetts had a sleepover at our house, Friday, 3/25/11.
Me and Athena, after awhile, were going to Emma's B-Day party.                       After a while, Emma's mom came to pick us up.  The other people in the car were: Fiona, Hava, Juliet and Emma.
We went to the Kroc Center. First we rock climbed, then we swam in their pool. We went home after that.
Then, at home, we played with Play-Doh.
  We helped mom set up for dinner. Dinner was home made hamburgers & French fries.
Then we watched "The Princess & The Frog.  It was a good movie.  Then we went to sleep.
