February Fun

I have been working really hard preparing for my Ohio Heroes project. Annie Oakley is really coming together. My costume is done and I just finished my poster. I'll be "in costume" as "Lil' Sure Shot" for our 4th Grade Wax Museum on Thursday night. I am sure that Mom and Dad will take some photos so we'll post them here on my blog next weekend.

Last month I turned 10!!!!! My family went to the Blue Jackets game against Detroit. Most people in Columbus don't like teams from Michigan so it was a fun game to see Columbus beat Detroit. Rick Nash scored three goals which is called a "hat trick." People threw their hats on the ice. I got a free hat from the Columbus Blue Jackets as a birthday gift so I didn't throw my hat on the ice. We had awesome seats thanks to my Grandpa. :-)

Last Friday I celebrated by having a few girlfriends over for a sleepover. We also got to go to a salon to get manicures. That was cool to be pampered like that. Now I know how a Princess must feel.

Friday at school we had a math test, and a economics test. We also had a party! We passed out Valentine's to everybody in our class. Thanks to everyone who gave me a Valentine.

Saturday my family celebrated Valentine's Day. My mom cooked a great dinner.

This week in gym class we have to make up a jump rope routine. My group is Rachel Drobny, Rachel Dinsmore, Kelly Williams, and Maria Caradonna and me. Coming up this Friday Dana Turtle from Channel 6 is coming in to talk to us about weather. Man I have a busy week.

Send me your comments and let me know if you're excited for Spring to get here. I am tired of cold wind, gray clouds and snow!
