It's Been a Long Time

Sorry it's been so long. I've been really busy.

This week was one of my better weeks. It was really fun. One of my friends spent the night with me and we had lots of fun. We watched one of our favorite movies from when we were young. Peter Pan. We were in love with it. And one morning, we cooked noodles, poured paint in plastic bowls and threw them at pillow cases and sheets!! It was A LOT of fun.

On Saturday, my family went to a dinner in Deepwater. The chicken was fit for kings, the entertainment was not. When we were leaving the building, we heard music and it sounded Irish to us, so I started "dancing". Mom and Seth were laughing, Dad was talking. So we walked over to the outdoor stage and listened. The next song was really bad. Dad was still talking, so we still listened. It got worse. The next song started out "Well, she's a big fat woman and it's an itty bitty bottle of wine." I tried not to laugh, but they kept singing it. I couldn't help it. So after that song I texted Dad, " We are going to leave this song slaughter and go to the truck." On the way home (I don't know how it came up), Dad asked what language they spoke in the Netherlands. I said, "Dutch, but I was about to say Norse, for some reason, but that's crazy because that's some sort of code." Mom looked at me and said," That's Morse code. Not Norse." I still haven't heard the end of that one.

On Thursday, we went to the new Warrensburg pool. It was fun. Amy and I stayed in the Lazy river about the whole time. We were in the pool all of 10 minutes out of about 3 and a half hours. We went down the slide 2 times and we swam about 5 minutes and we sat and watched 'divers' and rated them. This one kid was meaning to dive but he accidentially ran off the end of the diving board. We almost fell in the pool because we were laughing so hard.

We had another tournament this weekend. We won our 8am game. We lost our 9am game. We won our noon game. Then we had our Home Run Derby. And other events. Then there were fireworks. I wasn't there. Then the next day, we played at 3pm and we won and went on to the championship. We won that by 1. Some of the parents were keeping score also and they thought we were tied and then the game ended and they were confused. We all got medals and each team chose 3 people that they thought played really well and Jess, Emma, and I got one. Emma pitched really well, and Jess made some really nice catches at first. I made a good catch at center and a good stop but I didn't think I would get one of those medals.

Then we all went to Applebee's. There was 9 of us at a table for 6 maximum. It was a little crowded. It was Chandra's birthday so we told the Applebee's people and we were SO LOUD!!! It was fun.

Our next tournament is in Basehor, Kansas. It's the MOKAN State Tournament. I won't be at the World Series because I will be in Washington D.C., which I have already ordered my books for.

I ordered:

Night of the Soulstealers- Joseph Delaney (Book 3, The Last Apprentice)
Attack of the Fiend- Joseph Delaney (Book 4, The Last Apprentice)
Lunatic- Ted Dekker (Book 5 , Lost Chronicles)
Elyon- Ted Dekker ( Book 6, Lost Chronicles)
City of Bones- Cassandra Clare (book 1, Mortal Instruments)
Hunger- Michael Grant (Book 2, GONE series)

That's all I bought, but not all I'm bringing.

Well, I think that's it.
