The Christmas Sweater

The other day I was out of things to read, so I explored my mom's collection of books. I found Glenn becks 'The Christmas Sweater.' I thought it might be a little out of season but who cares right? Anyway I started reading that night and I finished the next night! I couldn't put it down! My first opinion of the main character was 'What a BRAT.' Well, once I finished the book I absolutely LOVED the book! It's about a boy who's dad died when he was 9, so he lives with his mom and is struggling with their finances. The mom couldn't afford the bike that her son wanted so badly. His mom made him a sweater instead, hoping that he would understand. Instead when he got it he threw a fit! Then it all goes downhill for him. If he hadn't thrown a fit many things wouldn't have happened to him! If you want to know what happens you'll have to read the book! I hope you love it as much as I do. Try to FINISH the book because the ending is the best part!

SPRING BREAK!

Well, as you all know this week was spring break. I just want to tell you about some of the things that I did over the break. To start the week my family woke up Saturday morning and the Easter bunny had come!!! After we had opened the eggs the bunny left, we decided to color REAL eggs for Easter dinner the next day. This is one that I did. It is a face with curly hair.

Here are a few that the family made. (Can you find the egg that I showed you first?)

Here are ALL the eggs the family did. We turned our eggs into deviled eggs which we took to our grandma's house for Easter dinner. We played a fun game at our grandparents house, where if we rolled doubles we got to choose a prize from the basket in the middle of the table.

Later that week my family went to 'color me mine'. Where we went to paint a piece of pottery. (It's a fun spring break tradition.)

This is the cereal bowl I made this year. I'll show you the finished product when I get it back in a few days. (After it has been fired.)

This is the bowl my mom made.

After we had finished painting our pottery we went to the old spaghetti factory. (Ha Ha, my uncle is making silly faces.) My little brother insisted he sit next to uncle Mason!

On Friday my friend, Kayla, and I went to my house and made necklaces. This is us making them.

This is us with our finished jewelry! Sadly, spring break has come to an end. But I made it worth while!

April fools day

So, every year my mom plays this big, elaborate trick on my grandpa for April fools day. This year we went to Leatherby's. My grandpa thought he was just coming to meet his sister because she said she was having problems she wanted to talk about.

So, when he got there we said 'Yay, it's a nice April fools day!' Not!

When our food came my grandpa's food wasn't what he had asked. We had talked to the waiter before he came. We asked him if he wouldn't do whatever substitutions grandpa asked for. When his food came he said pointing to his food 'uh oh! uh oh! uh oh!' when the waiter came back and asked if everything was OK, grandpa said no. he said that he asked for this, this, and this which he didn't get. My mom asked for the same thing and she got what she wanted. When the waiter said that they couldn't give sub's grandpa asked to see the manager.

This is grandpa talking to my mom about what had happened. It was funny because he didn't even notice all the pictures being taken of him.

This is him complaining to the manager. She said that they couldn't do substitutions and that she was sorry, and that she would see what she could do.

This is him right after she told him 'Happy April fools day sir!' She had to explain that it was a joke. After that he was quite embarrassed.

This is him laughing and STILL eating the ice cream he didn't want.

This is my mom showing with her fingers that this is year eleven that she has gotten him. Wouldn't you think that after eleven years he would be careful during April fools day?
