Did you see the rainbow?!!!!

We went to Rhylee's house today.  Braeden got dedicated - that's when you take your little kid to church and stand on stage and the preacher prays for your kid and you have to be really quiet and 

Braeden cried for his Momma.  Then, we went out to eat and I had a soft taco, and rice, and beans, and sprite.  After I ate I played with Rhylee and two of her friends and we ran and ran.  Then, we went to Rhylee's house and me and Rhylee played cars with Braeden and then we came home.  When we got home, there was this big rainbow in the sky - with two rainbows!  Did you see them?  Mana told me about the story with Noah and the big ship and that God would never flood the earth again.  Do you know that story too?  Mana can tell you it if you want her to. 

Last night we finally did FIREWORKS and I helped Papa light them.   Chester was acting silly (Mary's dog) because he kept trying to bite the fireworks.  Papa said we should let him learn a lesson.  

I like Saturday and Sunday!

Today is Saturday.  I didn't have my soccer game because we got lots of rain and my soccer field was full of mud so they cancelled my game today but it's okay.  Me and Papa and Mary played and wrestled for a little bit and when Mana got home from work, we went bowling!!  Papa said it was because I was good and I didn't cry for four days at school!  My Momma, and Mary, and Papa, and Mana all came with me bowling.  We ate hotdogs and coke and played some video games too.  Mary got me a red and blue football from a grabby machine thing.  

We had to stop at Sears so Papa could get his glasses fixed and while we were there, Momma buyed me a vest jacket - it's cool.  Mary buyed a dress and a football shirt.  I was not happy when my Momma wouldn't buy me a football shirt and then Papa said no too.  I didn't have an attitude long though.

We are at home now and Papa is playing my football game with me.  I was watching a movie that was boring (Gulliver's Travels) so Papa turned it off and we are playing now.  I am winning but I am fussing at Papa because he's not playing right - Mana said he was winning, but he's not, right?

On Friday...

I didn't cry at my school today!!  Today at my school, I had canteen.  Do you know what that is?  It's a place where you can buy candy and snacks!  Papa asked me if I was going to cry today and I said 'no' so then, Papa said 'if you don't cry, you can have a dollar for canteen' and I said 'ok' and I didn't!!  I buyed 6 things of candy and it is in a brown paper bag.  Mana let me have two pieces on the way home!  I ate chocolate candy and some star bursts.

There's this girl named Rhythm in my class and she said she was going to marry me.  I don't like that.  She's not going to marry me right?  Mana said don't worry there'd be lots of girls that would want to marry me and I don't want that either! :(      Papa just laughed.

Eye Doctor

Today was a good day!  I didn't cry this morning and walked into school with my teacher.  My momma came to my school and picked me up early but we didn't do carpool because she was late.  Me and Momma went to Barnes & Nobles for lunch and then we went to see the eye doctor.  Guess what?  I don't need glasses.  I really wanted glasses but the doctor said I have good eyes.  I had to get drops in my eyes and they stung really bad and I cried.  My eyesight is 20/30.  I want braces too.  Then, we buyed a water gun and me and Momma played and then we went to Sonic for dinner.  I didn't fuss about my homework and I finished quick.

Carpool

I LOVE carpool.  Do you know what that is?  That's when you get your bookbag and lunchbox and stand in line and then get in your car and you get to go home.  It's before lunch time.  Mana came and got me at carpool on Monday and we went to the Fire House Museum, Finlay Park to the playground, to McDonalds for lunch and to the library.  I got fire books and me and Mana played puzzles and looked at all the stuff in this big doll house.  Then we listened to some cool books there too and then we picked up Papa and went home.

I had too much homework too.  I had to do 5 pages and write letters and color too much pages. I cried some, but Mana helped me get it done.

I like to play Simon Says with Mana.  Tonight we played Simon Says and I had to pick out what number Simon says to find - like Simon said to find the number 15 and I did.  We have 20 numbers down and I am practicing learning what they look like.  Tonight I learned that 13 - 19 all start with number 1 and 13 and 15 are a little bit tricky because of the way they sound.  I am getting really smart and I am practicing writing and my letters are looking great!

My cool weekend

Well you already know about the soccer game on Saturday.  In the afternoon, we plucked chickens and I held some of the guts.  It was weird.  Everybody had to help pluck the chickens and then we cleaned up the feathers and stuff.  It was cool to see what a chicken heart looks like.  Mana said my heart is as big as my fist.  Did you know that?

Today, I helped Papa and Mana in the garden.  We planted lots of broccoli plants and I took the little plants out of the cup and gave it to Mana.  Then, I helped Papa put down this white stuff (fertilizer) and then we turned on the sprinkler.  I want Papa to light my fireworks but Papa said it's too dry here - that means we didn't have no rain in a long, long time.

After that, I helped Papa split some wood and we made a little fire on the deck in this little fireplace thing.  I sat in a chair and ate corn on the cob and Papa let me put sticks and wood on the fire.  I know how to light mattresses (matches) too.  You take one out and strike it on the box.  But the rule is, I don't get to touch them unless an adult is with me.  I like doing that.

Tonight, Momma took me to see my friend Landan and her friend too.  I already finished my homework on Friday so I don't have any to do!

My first soccer game...

When I got to my game I didn't want to play.  I cried a bunch and didn't want to practice either.  My Coach Gary kept asking me to play and help the team but I said no that I wasn't ready yet.  Papa said we were going to watch the game and then my friend Jackson played (second half) and I finally went in.  Mana stood at the goal until we started playing.  My team lost though.  I have a blue jersey, black shorts, and blue socks.  I had fun at the end of the game.  Papa said maybe next time I will do better.  I'm not scared of the ball and I'm a really good kicker.
