I love holiday weeks at school. We just had two days of class this week. Tuesday was really neat because Mrs. Lobao brought the class in TimBits from Tim Horton's, I won a prize bag for a reading contest and my dad got to come in and read to our class.
We didn't have school on Wednesday so I went to my Grandma's house to help her prepare stuff for Thanksgiving dinner. I peeled potatoes, cut the ends off the green beans and helped set the table. On Thursday we enjoyed a very nice dinner with Turkey and all the other foods you would expect. My little cousins (Shelby and Hunter) didn't eat too much turkey. They mainly ate rolls and waited until dessert for cookies. Taylor just drank her bottle.
I got to spend time today with my other cousins. We had breakfast with my Nana at First Watch. I had a big chocolate chip pancake and bacon. It was yummy. I played with my cousins this afternoon and now am home with my pajamas on watching QVC. Have you ever seen how much food they try to sell you????? My Mommy promised me that as soon as I get my braces off she's ordering some of those Mrs. Prindables chocolate caramel pretzels for me. Yum-O! I can't wait to get my braces off!!!!!!!!!
I'll have plenty to blog about in the next few weeks - a show by the Radio City Rockettes that I will go to with my best friend Rachel and her little sister Jenna, the Nutcracker with my Grandma it will be my 8th year. And a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony with my 4th grade classmates. We'll be singing Christmas carols.
Now, this weeks football picks:
Maryland vs. Boston College - I will pick Boston College
Georgia Tech vs. Georgia - I am pulling for the Dawggies
Florida vs. Florida State - I love my Dad so I will pick Florida
Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State - OU is favored so I will pick them
Notre Dame vs. USC - Not a hard pick here - USC
How was your Thanksgiving? Did you eat lots of turkey? Leave me a comment and let me know

Wagon Trains and Wolverines
Hey Everybody - I took the week off last week so I thought I'd get a new post up before the weekend. It's going to be a busy week here with Michigan coming to town.
Wagon Train
Last week we found out that our next project in 4th grade was going to be a pretend wagon train. My wagon train group is Zach, Dana, Maria, Alex F., J.T. and me. We are pretending we are a family from New York in the late 1700's. We are travelling to Symmes Purchase, Ohio. I am the "wagon master."
Our characters are named Norm, Betty, Marian, James, John and I am playing Lisa. I am the mother of John and Betty and I am married to Norm. Marian is the Grandma. James is a farmer who joined us for the ride.
There's a New Kid in Town
Last week we got a new student in our class. His name is J.T.
Extra Duties
This week has been busy. I got to be a DEAR monitor in Mrs. Fox's class. DEAR stands for "drop everything and read." I also had a student council meeting today. We talked about our next Spirit Day and a food drive that we will have before Christmas. We will give the food we collect to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank.
I also had our second meeting of our lunch time book club. Mrs. Edwards, our librarian, is in charge. We are reading Geek Chic. It's about a girl named Zoey. We haven't read much yet.
Dental Drama
I am excited that on December 15th (less than a month) I will get my palette expander removed. Dr. Marshall says my teeth are coming together nicely.
Pigskin Predictions
After doing pretty good with pro games a few weeks ago, I am back to picking college games this week. The games I am picking this week are:
I think they will be happy in Chapel Hill - North Carolina wins
Vandy sounds dandy.
Dad says Penn State is favored so I am going with them.
Texas Tech and Oklahoma? I don't know who is going to win this one. Dad says there is a "lot on the line." I think I'll go with the home team - Oklahoma in a close one.
I hope everyone who goes to the game this weekend - including my Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Kevin - all stay warm. I'll be in my Buckeye sweatshirt in front of the fireplace.
Go Bucks! BOO Michigan!!!

It's Cold...I'm Bored...It's Saturday
We just wrapped up a week of Indian Summer and the weather was perfect. We were able to play outside each day after school and I even wore shorts most of the week. Now the chilly fall weather has arrived and I don't like it.
It has been a busy week and it won't end until tomorrow afternoon with my cousin Taylor's baptism.
This week we had our Parent Teacher conferences and I had to lead the discussion. It was fun but I was kind of nervous. Mrs. Lobao was very helpful and my parents didn't ask me too many questions.
We also did our Indian power point presentations. My teammates were Alayna and Maria. It was about the Mingo Tribe that we have been studying.
I forgot to pick football games last weekend because I was recovering from my awesome trick-or-treat on Halloween. I ended up with 179 pieces of candy. I think my favorite kind is either Whoppers malted milk balls or Kit Kats.
This week I am going to try my picking skills with NFL games. Here goes:
Tennessee vs. Chicago
Seattle vs. Miami
Jacksonville vs. Detroit
Indianapolis vs. Pittsburgh
NY Giants vs. Philadelphia
I really like visiting the city of Chicago but I think the Tennessee Titans will like visiting Chicago too. I am picking the Titans to remain undefeated.
I will pick the favored Miami Dolphins
My dad says Jacksonville has been underachievers this year. They even lost to the winless Bengals last week. This week they play the winless Lions and the Jags will find a way to keep the Lions winless. I pick Jacksonville.
My uncle Jeff really likes Pittsburgh and my neighbor Jackie really likes the Colts. Family trumps neighbors so I will pick the Steelers.
I will go with the defending Super Bowl champion NY Giants to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia.
Okay, so we'll see how good I am at picking NFL games. Be sure to watch the games and then send me your comments on my selections.
