To Alaska We Go!!!

We are on our way to Alaska. Well, our Flat People are going to Alaska. If you have been following my Mom's Blog, then you have read that we are doing a Project called the "Flat Stanley Project". The reason we are off to Alaska is because they are having the is annual Iron Dog Snowmobile Race. An Iron Dog Race is like a Snow Dog Race except with a snowmobile. To find out more about this race go to http://www.irondog.org/. When we arrive in Alaska, we are going to get our own snowmobile team. The race will start on Feb. 10th and will end on Feb. 16th. When the race ends, we will be sent home with a picture of our team. I think it will be so cool to see what our flat people did while they were in Alaska. More to come on our trip to Alaska soon.

Sickness

For the past coupled of weeks, we have all had some kind of virus. On Monday, my throat was very scratchy and sore. It kept me up most of the night. On Tuesday, my Mom took me to the doctor. Mom was praying that the doctor would give the whole family medicine. This way she would not have to take the rest of us to the doctor. It turned out that I had Strep Throat mixed with a virus. The doctor told us that if our tongues looked like a strawberry then we most likely had Strep. Thankfully, he gave the whole family medicine. When we got home, Mom checked Andrew and Hannah and sure enough they had Strep too. We are not quit sure if Mom and Dad have it but they still have to take medicine. I do not like being sick especially when I have been running a fever. Oh, the joys of being sick. Thankfully, no one else has been sick this bad. Hopefully, we all will be better soon.

Snow Pictures

Last week, I blogged a post and said that I would post some pictures of the snow. Hope you enjoy them.

A beautiful snow morning. (Mom took this picture) LOOK PAPA, MOM SAW THE SUN RISE!!

My favorite picture of all. I think it does not even look like our little Hannah-Faith.

Our First Full Day of School

Today was our first day of school since Christmas break. Hopefully, we will all learn a lot this year including Mom. This year, I hope to excel in every subject. Andrew and I have started a new project called the Flat Stanley Project. Based on the book "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown. To find out more about the Project you can check out my Mom's blog http://www.lifeandhomeschooling.blogspot.com/ .She will be posting a lot on our project on her blog. Lately, my Mom has been working on writing up a schedule and a chore list as I like to call it. She put some of the schedule in action today and everything went really well. I am looking forward to the schedule (maybe not the chore list). I think, during the school year, our family really needs a schedule or we will not do anything. To check out our schedule, you can go to my Mom's blog.

Check It Out

My Mom now has a blog of her own called "Life and Homeschooling". CHECK IT OUT.

More Snow!!

This morning when we woke up, we had about an inch of snow outside. Around 10:00, my Mom let all of us go outside. When we went outside, we made snow angels, threw snow at each other, and just played around. Last year, Hannah did not like the snow much. This year, she played outside for almost an hour. She had a lot of fun until she got really cold!! Then, she had a melt down and started screaming. Andrew and I had fun too. Hopefully, I will get some pictures posted of the snow soon!!

IT IS SNOWING!!!!!

Today, about 8:00 it started to snow. It is so pretty.
Andrew was the first one to see it. He told my Mom and then
came running down stairs to tell me. Our local weather man said
that it should snow till tomorrow afternoon. I hope it snows a lot
more tomorrow. Hopefully, we will have enough to go sledding.

Happy New Year!!

Hi everyone,

Today, I just want to wish you all a Happy New Year!!
I hope you all have a good day.
Today, I asked my Mom if we were doing anything special today.
She told me that it was just another regular day. Of course, we are having New Year's dinner!!
My Mom is fixing Collard Greens for my Dad. She is also fixing Mac and Cheese, Lima beans, Pinto beans and a fabulous Pork Roast (yum). That is about all we are doing.
