My Day

Today I got up and finished my chores then I ate a chicken salad sandwich for breakfast. After I ate I started on my school work. Ashley and Ricky dominated the math program so it took a lot longer to finish. Later I walked to the cemetery, which I do like everyday. I came home and got ready for church. I wore a black skirt and shirt and my black boots. After church I watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy! I listened to music and went to bed.

So today I woke up and did my school as usual. I had a light day so I finished around 12. Then I went to the cemetery because that is where I go to walk. I walked over 5 miles! I came home and played with Lily for a few minutes, went out side and listed to music for a few hours. I came inside and took a shower. Then I had mom straighten my hair and then I went to bed.

Our Christmas Tree

So we went to get our tree. We took Danielle and Kelsea because their dad has allergies and they can't get a tree. We also took Noah because Kyle wanted to bring a friend.







































We went to pick out our tree. The highest it was suppose to be was 7 1/2 feet but we liked one that was a 8 footer, we figured we would just cut the top off. It was so funny! We had such a hard time getting the angel on top.
This is me holding a goat. They were pretty easy to catch and the one I caught was really friendly. I still don't really get why they have goats at a tree farm but I guess they have a good reason.

This is Lily holding a goat.She is so cute. I love the face she is making! I was very surprised she was so brave and actually willing to hold a goat.Kyle and Noah were scaring the poor goats half to death!
Lacey just adored the goats .I think she liked the goats more than getting the tree. She went over to play with them like two or three times.

THE RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL

We went to the Renaissance festival Tuesday this is a pic of me, Lily, Danielle, Kyle, Kelsea, Tessa, Lacey, Ricky and, Ashley. None of the grown ups had to take a picture and you can see how happy I was about having to.

This was a jousting we went to see. I was really impressed. I half expected them to come out on fake horses, plastic looking lances, acting all big and tough. It was great! They rode out carrying their lances and hitting each other. It was a real medieval experience. The only thing that was unimpressive was the sword fight, it was too fake.

This was a play about a servant trying to serve two masters and a girl trying to marry a prince everybody ends up falling in love with someone. This guy is the fool. I actually missed the plays but I hear they were very funny. I can tell you that they have a lot of STORES!

This is the rock climbing which I don't really see what it has to do with the whole medieval thing. But it would be fun. I guess it is a good way to make money!

There was a bunch of people there wearing medieval costumes so it would be just like you were there in that time period. You could not turn down a street with out seeing like twenty people in costumes. It was very educational.

THE DAY I GOT SHOT

I told you I would write about my gunshot scar so that's what I'm doing now. Me and my friend Danielle,I mentioned her in my home schooling blog, were just sitting around on my trampoline We were just talking (being perfect little angels yeah right) lol. All of a sudden she starts yelling at me saying "Donna your knee is bleeding!" I looked down and sure enough my knee had a couple of drops of blood. We went inside my mom was like what happened? We told her we were just sitting there and I started bleeding. So she cleans it up and she notices something in it. She gives me a choice- we either go to the emergency room or she would try to get it out herself. So I walk (more like limp) Danielle home. And we go to the emergency room. The car ride was so BAD! I was terrified. I prayed like the whole way there. When we got to the emergency room my mom ran in all panicky and tells one of the nurses that I was just sitting on the trampoline when suddenly me knee started bleeding. She looked at my mom like she didn't believe her. My mom was mad! So they x - ray me and found a 22 bullet in the tissue of my knee. The doctor said if it would have gone less that an inch farther I would never have walked again. So I hate hospitals for this reason I was covering my eyes and crying when they started taking the bullet out. The nurse tells me "if you don't stop crying you'll get a headache". I'm like getting a bullet cut out of my leg and she tells me not to cry! The doctor was just as bad. Really what kid wants to know that they have been shot and has to get stitches! It turns out that the whole being shot thing was because of a bunch of teenagers playing with guns one of the run away bullets got me. This is like the only scar that is not my fault! This has been an all Kristin story.

MUSIC

Music

Music is a poem in many of ways

The beauty, the rymes, the perfect pleasure.

It gives you joy and brightens all your days

It is the most beautiful of all other treasure.

Music is happy and sad

It is sweet and it is mad!

Love songs with their lively tunes

Kiddy songs with the silly goons.

So money and gold is worth a lot

But my treasure makes it seems like not.

Because where would you be if you had all the money

But had no music? Then your life just wouldn't be sunny.

So you can keep your worldly gifts, have your gold

I have something that will not get old.

Hold onto your riches or it will be gone

And I'll be the victor singing my song.

I have music and that is all I need

To live very long and peacefully!

me and my sister

This is me holding my

baby sister Lily.
