Boardwalk

Alrighty. So. Yesterday (Saturday) the fam and I headed down to Santa Cruz to have a wonderful time on the Boardwalk. Kinda like a birthday thing for me. Tilt-o-whirls, bumper cars, ghost blasters bla bla bla. Also, The Giant Dipper, of course, and Rock-o-plane. Rock-o-plane is like a little ferris wheel but the car things you sit in are cages and you can do flips or just lock the car and go around upside-down... yeah. It's fun.
After the rides (it wasn't really warm enough to enjoy the beach) we ate pizza and went home. I would have pictures, but my camera is DEAD and my b-day isn't till Wednesday and I'm getting a new one then (I just know it!). So....... no pics. Sooooooorry :P
Other than that, next Tuesday or Thursday, Padre is taking me out to a sushi place to try... You guessed it! Sauerkraut! No, j/k. Sushi! Also, in like two or three weeks, Kyle Shelby and I are testing for our Blue belt. Yup. That's pretty much all.

B-day, comin' up!

So, like usual, my birthday totally snuck up. It's in like two weeks, already! Yay! 16! Yay! BUUUUT... I have to go to the orthodontist ON MY BIRTHDAY. Awwwwww... Plus, I have no idea what I'm going to do to, like, celebrate. And, it's my 16th! I need to start thinking...

Allergies

Okay, so like my allergies are not very fun. Yesterday I was mowing the lawn at church (killing the unfortunate ladybugs, so mean) and spraying weeds (killing the sourweed the kids like to eat, aren't I just terrible?) and my allergies were FINE. But today is just not good. *Sniffle*
Anyway, tomorrow, we're going to put some boards around the floor in the highschool classroom, to complete the room's amazingness. And I'll try to take some pictures to share, because I know you want to see how it turns out. Or, maybe you don't. But you'll get to see anyway! Tada!

Music and paint

So, like, now when you come to visit my amazing blog, you can listen to my amazing favorite music! Tada!

Anyway. Today, the Youth painted our classroom, a lovely beige-cream-off white-tan color that looks much better than the hideous green it used to be painted. We did an excellent job, I think. And Kirsten thinks. And Meredith. And Andrew. And Kyle. And Nathan. And Enrique. And also Bryan. Yeah. Amazing.

Kirsten and Mer going at it (ferociously, I might add)

Yep, and here's some random bad news. I took an amazing vid with my camera of Kirsten and Mer painting and Bryan walked in and the things they said before they knew I was filming were HILARIOUS. BUT... I forgot my camera has NO SOUND while it takes movies. BUMMER! Oh well, no big deal.

More disection

Ugh. So like today, I dissected a crayfish, and I was paired with Kirsten, and the crayfish we got was kinda squished. SHE had a big dent on her carapace (body-looking part) and her insides were all jumbled up. We ripped her legs off to make it easier to pin her down to open her up. Not much learning happened as a result of her mashed guts, though. So, it didn't go that well for us. Or the crayfish. We named her Kelly. Rest in pieces, Kelly.

No disection

I didn't have to disect the worm with Kyle because we were all sick and didn't feel up to it! Yay :P
