In History we learned about the Punic Wars. They lasted over 100 years. It was wars between Rome and Carthage. In the end the Carthaginian general, Hannibal, decided to attack with elephants on land while the sea stalemate was going on. That gave the Roman a chance to make a push on the sea and attack Carthage while Hannibal ran away and committed suicide. We read seven poems about things like grasshoppers. Our science experiment was really boring we just put some slides in water.

I woke up this morning and groaned, “Another day of school.” No not really but time is really flying, Nutcracker is soon, dad’s 40th Birthday, and as all of those on my dad’s side know, Aunt Sarah’s wedding!!! It’s this Saturday, and I want to meet Uncle Matt sometime soon!!!

In LA I wrote a definition poem about ballet, here it is.

What is ballet?

Flying, soaring

Flexing, pushing

Stories, Music

Leaping, twirling

Happiness, acheivment

Passion, love

Happiness

Praising God

My life

We read seven poems about bugs, especially bees. In History we learned about the Roman Empire. They took the Greek gods and gave them different names like Zeus to Jupiter. Most of our planets were given names after the Roman gods. The Romans were the first to use concrete by mixing different materials. In Science we learned about the fossil record of flowering plants. The evolutionistic scientists do not know how they supposedly came from non-flowering plants. Out of 300,000 plant species 250,000 are flowering.

“Happy 1/2 price candy day!!!” Is what I would usually say today, but the candy wasn’t 1/2 price!! Oh the horror! It is usually 1/2 price because of Halloween, but it wasn’t this year, but we still found some candy on sale! Yay!!! Today is also the first of November!!! And I’m still in short sleeves, well that’s Arkansas for you. But dad’s birthday is in November, and only two more months until January!!! Wow, seems like it was just yesterday when the new year came, but so much has happened sense then… Speaking of things happening, last night I was thinking about something and they were having a conversation, they were talking about potatoes, and then mom said she couldn’t imagine not having them, at least that’s the part I heard and I said “You can’t imagine having potatoes???” Incredulously, not realizing until after that she was talking about us kids. We got a good laugh out of that one!!! And mom was acting frustrated and Adi said, “If your acting like this you need a nap!” And mom said “Yes I do, can I go take one!!! And Adi said “Once you get me on the computer!”

Today in history we didn’t read the same things in two different books, Yay!!! I think Romans are mostly Greek, they stole their “gods,” stories, and land. The Romans were very rich, and built a lot of roads!!! They had milestones, stones that told you how many miles until you got somewhere. They were the first to use concrete, and aqua-ducts.
