We are going to Shenendoah (Grandma and Grandpa's second house) so I don't have much time to write.

We went to the Asian Buffet last night for Stephen's birthday. It was good. They have hand-dipped-by-yourself ice cream.

I have been working on Christmas presents, but mostly going on the computer. I wouldn't call it 'playing' because I am not playing games I'm doing other more important things. (Ha, ha)

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!!!!!!!

24 and a half out of 32 presents done!!

We had a nice Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

24 out of 32 presents done!!!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't have biology today so we got home from co-op early.

Only two more weeks til Christmas break!!



And plus, tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Conquered the World!!!!!

OK, I guess I just beat Johnathan in RISK, but pretty close, right?

23 and a half out of 32 presents done!!!

Happy Birthday Stephen!!!!

Stephen turned 17 today. Yikes! That's kind of creepy. We had lemon cake for dessert for supper for his birthday.

23 out of 32 presents done. Right after I am done with this I am going to take pictures of my finished and in the middle projects so I can post them on my other blog.

I forgot to say that Katherine and I were baptized on Sunday.
I am so glad we did, and we had a fun party afterwards.

The glory to God!!!!

I have been following a blog that has Treasury (On Etsy) Challenges where you have certain guidelines to follow to making a Treasury and then you can vote on which Treasury you want to win. Anyway on Tuesdays they have what they call a Tempt Me Tuesday Linky Party where you can add a link to the items in your shop to promote them. I wasn't able to do it last week and I was pretty disappointed but I did it today. Click on the link above to see it and they make it more clear in case you can't understand any of my nonsense.

I am doing pretty well.
22 out of 32 presents done!!!!!

We had our Roman feast for school today. It was fun!!!!
Most of the food was pretty good, even if it was supposed to be Roman.

Tomorrow Katherine and I are getting baptized and afterward we are going to have a party with our family so we have to get ready for it.

I decided I needed to write because I hadn't written since Monday.
I've been working on Christmas presents some.

An Etsy Shop

(Pictures by haveitconfections)

I was looking on Etsy and I found this delicious-looking shop called haveitconfections.
The marshmallows look so colorful and the caramels sound delectable. And plus, they are all natural.

We've been sick for a while and I had an earache yesterday. I feel better now, except I have some congestion problems.

I took this picture of a shelf in our mudroom that has peanuts, rice, cane juice crystals, couscous, and more on it a while ago with the intention of putting it on my blog because I thought it looked nice. (I don't care if you disagree with me.) I just decided I would do it today.

I loved watching the Phantom of the Opera. My favorite part of the play is the music and the songs. I like the song "Music of the Night", I really like "Phantom of the Opera", but my favorite is "All I Ask of You" or as I like to call it, "Say You'll Love Me"...la la la la la la la la la la. (That means I don't know the words :-)

I finished half a Christmas present, so that means twenty-one and a half out of thirty-two presents done!!

Mom, Stephen, Josiah, Katherine, and I are going to a Phantom of the Opera
play at a college. I can't wait. Mom borrowed the movie from the library so she could listen to the music before she went. She's listening to it right now, and so, of course, am I. She said she would enjoy it more if she could listen to the music.

Most of us are sick in our house so that doesn't make me too happy. Josiah has (or had) a terrible earache. I heard him say to Mom, "I feel like I am going to die!" But he feels better now.
Well, Mom wants me to wash some dishes.

I had a fun day.

We got to make cell models in biology out of a cookie and candy. It was a LOT of fun!!!! And then, of course we got to eat them. Also, I got good scores on a test and some homework so that makes me happy, too.

This is Exciting!!!!!!

I'm so excited!!!!!!!! I made an Apple Butter Day-Inspired Treasury on Etsy. (You can see it on the page on here named 'Etsy Treasuries') Well, in the Treasury I put a lady's cornucopia and she found my Treasury and put it on her blog. She also commented on how cute our shop was. Click here to see her blog post.

Happy Birthday Aunt Lydia!!!
