Today it was raining so we stayed inside. We made wrap skirts for ballet, I couldn’t get mine to fit so I am going to add on a button at home. We got a bit of candy and played a joke on her brother. We gave cards and stuff. We are making a ballet. Our parents should be in Cozumel tomorrow.

I did all of my school before lunch today although I am at a friend’s house because my parents are out of town. Walt (my friend) goes on a walk for PE and I went with him but we were followed by the trash truck making it’s rounds so we had to run in the end.

In Bible we read about Israel blessing sons and dying. They went back to Canaan to bury him. In History we learned about medieval art, architecture, science, technology and war. We also learned about knights and reviewed castles. Guilds were like business government. We read six patriotic and about bird poems. In Science we learned about the Skywalk which is a glass walkway over the Grand Canyon. You can get motion sick in a skyscraper because of the wind rocking it.

Tomorrow is the day. Tonight my friend who I am staying with is going to come over here for a sleepover. Tomorrow we are going to point class together, we are in the same class. Then we hang out until when we have to head over to her house, we pack up a car, (our van has broken down and the car is at the shop, so hopefully we will be able to get some sort of transportation because her house is an hour away.) Some how we will get there, we will get shown the house, (none of us not even I have seen her house and we have been friends for about a year now) then will will settle in, (we are bringing the cat too.) And then mom and dad will leave, if we ever get all that figured out then I will; A. Have an awesome week with my best friend, B. Have an awful week missing Mom and Dad, C. Have and awful week taking care of and cleaning up after Adi, or D. All of the above. Please vote on which one you think is most likely going to happen, I am hoping and praying on A. But B, or C seem way more likely. At least I’m almost done packing!!! Don’t forget to vote by putting your opinion/letter/other in the comments!!! We value your opinion.

We read about Israel blessing and telling the future of his sons. I thought he died yesterday but I was wrong and he died today. Most of his sons had awful futures. Joseph has now died, there was a lot of Dying in our Bible today.

In history we learned about the crazy idea that non-christians have of religion. It is sad, so so so very very very very sad. I don’t want to think about it any more. We also read about the arts, it took forever to make books, wow mass production is really helpful but it also cuts the value of it by 100. Everything used to be made of wood, that is sad because wood burns way to easily. We saw a picture of the Hagia Sophia. it is so amazing. The Chinese invented fireworks, clocks and discovered magnets.

In Bible the people of Egypt ran out of money to pay for the food in the famine so they sold all their cattle and the next year sold all their land and themselves into slavery. In History we learned about the feudal system, castles and Song dynasty China. We read nine poems about hills, the sea and rivers. In Science we learned about magnets and space.

Wow only two days, I really need to pack today. Last year I started packing weeks ahead, it is overwhelming when I think about how long and at the same time not very long ago that was. I remember it like it was just yesterday but at the same time I have grown so much sense then. I should better go pack.

Today Reed told us a really funny play on words joke that had to do with Islam and Buddhism. In Bible we read about more of Joseph’s life. He has now bought all of Egypt and everything else in Egypt for Pharaoh. And Jacob died. Tomorrow we are going to finish Genesis. Mom started to read extra Field guide, even though we read through next weeks yesterday.

In history we learned about old English, it is crazy confusing. It was nothing like now-a-days English. We stole a lot of words from other countries, why can’t we make up our own? I wouldn’t like living in a feudalistic society. We learned about Magyars. They were fast, and they used that to ride around stealing things and killing people. It was awful, and nobody could catch them. Until finally a king conquered them. People have very odd names and nicknames in the world. There was really a King named Louis La Fat, how embarrassing!!! History is pretty much impossible to pronounce name person started a war, conquered, over through, or fought against impossible to pronounce name person. The Seljuk people had a “Friday” mosk, isn’t that crazy.

Russia was named for the Vikings living there who were called the Rus meaning red-haired. We read five poems including the famous one about Paul Revere and the others about the sky. We did Cool Stuff 2.0 today. In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we learned about John the Baptist, Jesus’s baptism, his temptation and his ministry. The wine in Jesus’s day was 1 part wine with 4-10 parts water. In normal Science we learned about currents and current diagrams. The longer the wire the more resistance and the thinner has the same effect. We are working ahead in Together Stuff this week because Mom and Dad will gone next week. We might do three read-alouds later but Mom’s throat hurts.
