The weekend. By: Emmalee

(written Easter weekend in her journal at school)

This weekend I thought it was wild!

So, on Saturday morning I went to Blake's soccer practice and had to play on a dumb playground. Then at 1:00 I went to a 100 Easter egg hunt. But I didn't get the golden egg. But at 2:00 I went to my grandma's house for a Easter egg hunt. But I mostly got toys. I got a couple eggs, a stuffed animal, a bag with erasers, a golf course, some candy, bubbles, a little back-flip bunny, and that's pretty much all. I got bored on Sunday so I made a boring course. So you start on the table, jump onto the chairs, jump onto the cabinet, then run on the couch over Addi and her barbie dolls, jumped onto the next couch, jumped onto the tredmal, and onto TV to the table. (illustration below)

(It's interesting to see your kids' perspective of things. I loved that she HAD to play on the dumb playground and was so bored on Sunday that she had a boring course. :) She failed to mention a special treat of lunch out with the family at Carl's Jr. where they have a fun playground. And my wonderful Easter dinner that I prepared so willingly for my family. Weird that she could forget THAT but name every single thing that she found in her Easter eggs! (total sarcasm there)  Also love that Addi is a part of the course. So glad that they make her a part of their activities.)



Here's the next weekend:

This weekend got my bike fixed. But the brake is still hard to pull. On Sunday I went outside. When dad was looking at a place I call the spider pit. Dad saw some legs of a spider. He wanted to show me and Addi the spider. So he got a stick and moved the spider. But then dad noticed that that spider was not like any other. It was a huge female black widow!! Mom took some pictures of it. Then I so wanted to kill it once we were done.
Then we went into the car. When we were at the church Blake had forgotten his shoes. And so dad had to take him back. As dad was leaving he almost ran over a goose.
At primary we got a bag of some treats because we filled the jar with marbles. On Fri. I went to the library. I got 26 books. Oh, and on Sat. was good. I didn't have to go on the dumb playground while Blake was playing soccer.
