Merry Christmas!!

During the Christmas season, I often find myself caught up in the presents, candy, and decorations. Reading the bible about the birth of Jesus and watching movies like The Passion of the Christ and the Nativity Story helps to refocus my strayed thoughts! Do you think it would help you? Just remember that the true reason of the season is the birth of Jesus Christ!!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

Today we're having a snow day!! I honestly have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do today, but some of my bright ideas are: playing in the snow, writing a story, or reading. It's amazing how much snow has come down! It's so beautiful but at the same time, the roads are really bad! So if you plan to go driving in this weather, please be careful!! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Outcome of the Egyptian Project


Nickie and I got an A+ on our Egyptian project!! It was so hilarious, for extra credit points, we dressed up in each of our mom's bathrobes and made some funny Egyptian hats! Let's just say we got some double takes and outright laughter. Lol! Anywho we worked really hard on the paragraphs about Hatshepsut, King Tut, and Ramesses ll. We found probably ten pictures and then we had to find pictures of maps of Egypt and the Valley of the Kings. Thanks to Amy for letting us use her cricket in order to make the titles and for showing us how to use it for that matter! Thanks for the support and the encouragement!

New Project!!

In school, we're beginning a new lesson on Egypt. We got the choice to do a project about any Egyptian subject we wanted! I'm doing my project with Nicole (surprise, surprise) and we're doing the project on the pharaohs of Egypt. The pharaohs we are researching are: Pharaoh Hatsheput, who was the first female pharaoh and she also created temples. We are researching Ramses the second who is known for having one hundred children in his life time because of his many wives (Creepy). Lastly we're researching King Tut, the only pharaoh to become a pharaoh at nine years old. He died at the age of nine-teen because of a broken leg complication. King Tut was not the most powerful or important pharaohs but he is as of now, one of the most famous. I'm really enjoying this subject and am excited to begin working on it!!
