This week: Halloween

Sorry for not posting last week, I was sick all week and it would have been super incoherent, so its better that I waited! Quiz bowl was super fun! We had two teams and we placed 5th and 6th after the 4 teams from the top school that participates in quiz bowls. My team had a lot of answers that we new right away and some that we used our amazing teamwork skills to figure out the answer!
So this is yet another crazy week! Middle school quiz bowl that I am timing for on monday, then Wednesday I have a HOSA meeting all day, and then Thursday...... well that is super exciting! Halloween and I am going to murder mystery party! I am super excited because last year I went and it was super fun, but I got killed first so I didn't get how it could be scary, and then we played again and I got scared but it was short. I am really hoping I survive at least a few more rounds this year! And then Friday is going to be a short co-op birthday party and then the monster mash! I promise there will be pics of all this! And then Saturday I am 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so crazy I can't believe it!
Please poke me to post more it really helps me remember! Thanks Nicole, love you!
Glory to God for all things!

It is really fall!

Fall is here and I am enjoying it! The colors, the weather, everything! Yesterday I decided to decorate the windows with paper leaves and a few pumpkins, this short easy project turned in to a long but none the less fun one! I cut the leaves and Badness drew the "veins" on them and then I redid them on the other side with sparkly gel pen! We also determined that we could not stick them to the window without washing them so we did that!
                                          Shoot they're sideways another thing I have to learn how to do!

                   
I am not completely ready to be done with summer so I decided that I will post some of this summer pics.

 
 broomtree pics!

 Shakespeare camp



This day we went to a state park in Minn with a lake!
                                         Lots of fun!






 Only two days till quiz bowl! I am super excited! We have good teams and I think we will do really well!
I got amazingly awful dress today and a couple of weeks ago we went on a shopping spree and bought a ton of stuff including a Dalek dress, pics this week!
Engineer sister and I also babysat on friday and we taught ourselves and our babysit-ies how to make fudge it is super delicious and easy!
Thats all for now!

Glory to God for all things!

A birthday and fall

 So Brother the Bean had a birthday this week, he turned eleven! It is very hard to believe! He is my first sibling I remember life without, but really I am not sure what life was like! Very different that's for sure! Bean is very excited to have received a nice flash light, I am not sure what he intends to use it for but he has it! We drove to Omaha to visit grandma, it was a lot of fun although I didn't do much other than catch up on sleep!
In Omaha we attended a western right orthodox church, which is based off the Anglican mass and has the same saints and feast days as the rest of the western church. They also use gregorian chant and hymns like the western church and it is very beautiful and very familiar because we converted to orthodoxy from an episocopalian/Anglican parish . On Sunday it was the feast of Saint Micheal the Archangel, so happy name day to all the Micheals, I know at least one, and as we say in orthodoxy many years! We actually say that a lot we say it for birthdays, name days, anniversaries and some other things that I am drawing a blank on.
We are back doing school this week in someways it is better because we have a schedule that we have to loosely follow. We also had our first HOSA meeting and I think that it is going to be a great year! I am going to try really hard to get to nationals and it is not just because it is in Orlando Fl... Okay it has a little to do with it ;)
Fall has arrived! I love the colors and the cooler weather! I am not getting used to the dark by 8 o'clock and it only gets worse from now on :( but in the fall all of the TV shows movies I have been waiting for come out! Dr Who and Sherlock are nearly killing me! There just aren't enough trailers!
Speaking of dr who, engineer sister and I turned into complete fan girls and bought TARDIS and Dalek dresses! we have new favorite outfits and a haloween costumes! I am still going to be Clara but in her Oswin Oswald form, as a Dalek and I am still going to wear my amazing hat because it is tardis blue and really how could I not?!?!
I have been felt very random in the car on the way home from Omaha and put my new sunglasses on Totes Bro and he can totes rock aviator sunglasses!

Glory to God for All Things.
