October in Review || Hello November -- hiking + the state fair + I got a letter from the white house + lots of funnies

 

HAPPENINGS


 

Daddy took Kristen and I hiking! It was a BEAUTIFUL day to be outside!

 

 

We went to the STATE FAIR and met some friends from church up there!

 

 



My goal is to be finished 12th grade by February. I started in September and I've been working SO HARD to finish up early. I'm almost half way!! WOOT WOOT!!!

 

 

 

I went to a concert with some friends!!! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!

 

 

I got a letter back from the White House! THE WHITE HOUSE!!!! Maybe I'll do a post on that soon!?!?!

 

I FINALLY had my piano recital (I had it at my piano teachers house)

Daddy and Mama surprised us kids and gave us each one of these books! THEY.ARE.ADDICTING.

Our heat stopped working and while we are waiting for it to get fixed, we have to use our woodstove! Nice and toasty!

 

Kristen, Ben, and I walked around the whole lake and then spent the rest of the afternoon on the dock soaking up the sun. IT WAS SO RELAXING!!!

I WON BRI'S GIVEAWAY!!!!!

FUNNIES

 



ben: After doing connect the dots before bed. *sleep talking* "108. 109. 110....."

 

 

 

me: *talking to Kristen and a friend from church about Kristen in a teasing way* "She's a weird breed of potato."

friend: *wont stop laughing over "breed of potato"*

 

Being sick and thinking I was extremely weak after trying to pick up a bench I had easily moved before, and then realizing there was a crate full of magazines on the built in shelf under the bench.

LIKE WHAAAAAAATTT??????

 

 



 

 

ben: *talking to Kris* "Have you grown?"
kristen: "No. You dont grow when you're 23."
ben: "You wanna bet?
kristen: *in sad voice* "No."


*during dinner I hand Ben a roll* ben: *singing* "When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there."

Funnies

 

*kristen and me laying in the bed getting ready to go to sleep*
me: *starts singing a random song*

kristen: "Don't sing that. It makes me want--want to eat potato chips."

 

 

kristen: *says something funny*

me: "When I turn 18, I'm going to adopt you."

kristen: *won't stop laughing*

*walking out of the tasty freeze and smelling manure*

kristen: "It smells like P.A. here."

me: "You mean it smells like P.U!"

(I actually love the smell of manure! Maybe I'm weird?)

*a little boy at church runs up and shows me his toy*

little boy: "Do you see this?"

me: "Wow. That's neat!"

little boy: "Don't touch it. It's priceless." *whispers* "I got it out of a toy machine."

 

 

kristen: *singing* "I fixed my bookmark because I'm sooooo amazing."
