Today was Earth Day, and to commemorate that my GS troop did a nature walk. It was really fun! I have a few pictures for you...
Bre made this album about it... there are a few more fun Earth Day shots. It also has pictures of this other girl Molly's birthday party, which was going on right around the time I climbed the tree. I wasn't invited... But whatever... Girl Scouts was fun today for once.
Oh, and Quinn asked me to thank you all for the advice about her birthday! She's still taking suggestions, so if anyone didn't see the last post, you can still leave her comments if ya want. =) She'll (hopefully be posting again) to let you know what's going on in her life... I know you don't all wanna hear about everything second hand. ;)
Earlier, I heard my sister Sarah arguing with my mom about this tiny skirt she wanted to wear out this evening. Mom wouldn't let her out the house... and she definitely wouldn't if she knew she was trying to go out with some boy. Even though they're 16, the twins aren't allowed to date yet, but they secretly do. (These girls have such exciting lives...) Well, the only reason I know all this is because Beth and Sarah got into it with each other, so Beth was actually being nice to me. They're always both nice to me when they fight with each other.
Well, I guess that's about all for now. Talk to you again soon. =)
Until next time,

Hey everyone! It's Quinn! Wendy is letting me post sometimes now too. This is my first official blogging, second if you count the one I wrote when Wendy was sick. I'm gonna try to come on here every now and then and talk to some of you... Wendy has told me so much about ya'll I feel like I know you too.
What I need opinions on is my birthday! It's coming up on June 1st, and I don't know what I wanna do. For my party, I mean. I've been given some options...
A. Have a sleepover. Would be fun, but we do that a lot!
B. Have a barbecue. Again, would be fun, but Wendy doesn't eat meat!
C. Have a picnic. Weather permitting, this would be great!
D. Go to a restaurant. I just think that might be too expensive...
E. Go to see a movie and out for pizza. Fun, but it's honestly been done before.
They'd all be great ways to spend my birthday, and that's probably why I can't decide! Which sounds most fun to you?
Love, Quinn <3
I'm sleeping over at Quinn's tonight. Right now! But we're a little bored... we were in the front room having an all-night movie marathon but her mom came in and said we had to go to bed! We're in Quinn's room now, but we don't wanna go to sleep. We're doing everything we can to stay up and have fun... Quinn even put on some music and started dancing around the room like a crazy person. (You should have seen her... it was so funny =P) A while ago we actually went into Ben's room to see if he had any games to play. We played my Twister game earlier, but it's way more fun with more than two people. A few minutes before I started writing this, I found my sisters on myspace AND facebook (even though our parents say they aren't allowed to have either). They were set to private so I couldn't snoop. I can't even rat on them or they could tell about my blog, and I'm not really supposed to have this. Shhh...
A while ago we heard Aunt Linda sneaking in. She was out on a date with some guy... guess it went well. ;) Quinn asked her to go on a late night junk food run for us so we at least had lots of snacks.
We're gonna watch a dvd on my laptop now. Tomorrow night she's staying over at my house and we're gonna do it all over again. =)
Until next time,

Today our class put on the play I was telling you all about in my last post. All of the kids who weren't in the play (me and several others) got to have "backstage" jobs. I was in charge of the curtain. Claire, our Anne Frank, wasn't able to memorize all of her lines, and neither did most of the other kids. There were so many "ums" and "uhhs" on that stage. Our teacher was turning red, blue, green, and purple. Then, one of the other kids ran into me backstage and I fell, pulling the curtain down. A few parents in the audience began to clap, and the principal didn't let them go back on to finish the show. It was so sad.
Then, when the principal was handing out the awards, she called Claire up to get her perfect attendance certificate. When she was going up the stairs, she tripped on her shoelace and fell. She hit her face and got a bad nosebleed, and started crying. When we went back to class after the assembly to get our stuff, I tapped her on the shoulder and told her she was such a big baby. She grunted and stormed away... and it felt so good.
After school, I went with Quinn, Ben, and their mom to see a movie at this theater downtown. They have what they call the family matinee, which is always an old Disney movie. Today we saw Dumbo, which I hadn't seen since I was a really little kid.
But the really big news is that I'm now officially on spring break!! Yay!! Are you all on break too or did you already have it?
Until next time,

We've been talking about World War II in history for the past week or so. I've always found this a pretty fascinating time period and I like studying it. (That's a big part of why I like Molly.) Anyways, our school is having an assembly for the academic awards this quarter, and our teacher volunteered our class to put on a play. And since we're studying WWII, she decided on The Diary of Anne Frank. The assembly is this friday, right before the break starts, and a lot of parents will be there. Because my teacher is really scatter brained and crazy, we didn't start rehearsing the play until today. (No, that wasn't a typo. Today.)
First thing this morning, she assigned parts. I was chosen to play Anne Frank. I was really honored at first, and then I realized I had been a) type cast, and b) completely bamboozled, as that part has A LOT of lines.
Well, before we started rehearsing, to give the class some background on the time period and what-not, we watched this film about the Holocaust. It was SO sad. I didn't mean to, but the film really upset me and I sorta started to cry a little. Not like bawling or anything, but still. This girl named Claire who sits next to me noticed and leaned over and called me "a stupid, overly-sensitive baby." And I wiped my eyes, and kinda without thinking accidentally called her a stupid little... well, I won't repeat the word, because it was kinda bad. And of course, I got in trouble. I didn't even mean to say it... I guess it's something I picked up from my sisters, since they jokingly call each other that at least 10 times a day. The punishment? Lunchtime detention for two days, a call home, and I lost my part in the play. The ironic bit? The new Anne Frank is CLAIRE. Whatever... I didn't want to be in a play anyways.
The good thing, I suppose is that my parents didn't get too mad. My mom told me to watch my mouth from now on (which I promise I will *angelic smile*) and my dad took one of my comics. (And that was only because he wanted to read it.)
Until next time,

It's been surprisingly Spring-like here lately. Where I live, it's really dry so the plant life isn't as pretty or healthy as we'd like, but we still try to enjoy it.
Yesterday, on Saturday, Quinn came over to play and we had planned to spend the whole afternoon outside looking for lady bugs or dandelions or even four leaf clovers. But instead, my mom told us to sit down on the porch and be still so we wouldn't sunburn or anything.
And that proved to be... really boring. So after a while, my mom found sun block, drenched us both in it, and allowed us to leave the shade. We went in to the lawn and searched for ages for anything fun, but all we found was grass.
We did notice that the buds on my mom's rose bushes looked like they'd bloom soon, but she doesn't allow anyone playing near her flowers (lol). After we got bored outside, we came back in and watched the movies Harriet the Spy and The Parent Trap. We made popcorn first, and I felt a bunch of energy so I started doing cartwheels and somersaults in the living room. Then my mom kinda yelled at me, but I didn't really care. LOL. If I took it personal every time she yelled at me, I'd have left home when I was like three.
If you happened to notice my new avatar, that's where it came from. =)
Until next time,
