End of Atheletics Season
I've been REALLY busy with sch wk recently, and (as you all know!) haven't taken the time to post.
Hopefully I'll have time sometime soon to do a nice long post, but I thought I would stop by quickly now and tell you all the depressing news that tonight was the last night of athletics for the 2010-2011 season =( lol

Bike to Breakfast
Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while...
Well, anyway, on the 15th of February a group of us homeschoolers (only Jarrod and me from our family) (homeschoolers are awesome, by the way =)lol) met at the Rakete's house (at 7am... =( )and we all rode to Manukau City together, for Bike to Breakfast...basically you ride there (all the way from the carpark in one family's case lol!...) and they give you free food!! =) [oh and this year-free (thin though) backpacks with various things like punture repair kit, slap-band, drink bottle, etc in them] This year they had various cereals, yoghurt, scones, muffins, fruit, and possible a couple of other things..sorry can't remember... AND...they had a coffee van!!! Unfortunately they weren't able to supply Esther's Cappamochahotchocolate (pronounced Cappa-mocha-hot-chocolate!), so we all decided hot chocolates would be ok instead. =)
After most of us had finished eating, one of the people running it asked to take a photo of us, so we all got on the grass with our bikes (shhh, don't tell, we might get in trouble!! lol) for photo 1, then photo 2 was all the girls, and last of all, photo 3 was the guys, which seeing as I obviously wasn't in it, I got a photo of (after the main photo had been taken, that's why there's a couple of other people in it =) ) -
And, no, us girls weren't showing off like this in our photo!
The clown in the above pic (Jingles I think his name was), had brought along some unusual bikes - a large unicycle, a very small unicycle, and another one that i won't try to explain, so you'll have to wait for the photos - I'll point it out in one of them =)
Jingles also juggled fire and knives. Some pics:
View these two pics together - say goodbye to your hand, Alan!
Sometime later (after the organisers had left!) we all went back to the Rakete's, where Jarrod's bike tube was changed as it had a puncture - check back again soon as I will try to get a picture of this!
And J and I arrived home about 10am, tired, and not at all feeling like doing school work!
Well dinner's ready, so I better go...

This Week...Part 2
Hey!
Thursday we did our friends the Rakete's paper run, as they were also at the tramp, then the others went to Drury Christian School for Monique's violin lesson, and Danielle's recorder lesson (both for the first time), then to Dad's work, while I (once again!) did school work.
Friday we went to my orthodontist appointment at 11:45, which is why my teeth are so sore now, I had thicker wires put on, power chain, and rubber bands going from top to bottom on both sides of my mouth ouch! =)
Then to the Warehouse, where we sat in the car, well I did anyway, Jarrod took the street surfer/s-board/ripstick onto the footpath, terrorised the others, and...well suffice it to say that by the time Mum came back, their were a few screaming children, and most of them jumped out of the car to go see her (when they know they must stay IN the car!)
After a llllloooooonnnnnnnggggggg lunch, Mum took the others to do the Rakete's paper run again, so I some un-interrupted time to concentrate on school work.
And today..we had GKGW (Growing Kids God's Way) course, along with another very exhausting childrens program, which was organised by John Sonneveld - cousin to my friends. This week they learnt about the Good Shepherd, the memory verse being "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want." Psalm 23 v 1.
The first craft - glueing a fabric cloak to a piece of paper, and drawing details like the head, arms, legs, clouds, sky, grass, etc...and sheep. They had three cotton wool balls they split in half and stuck on to the sheep.
And the colouring picture was of a shepherd with a sheep.
And tonight..my teeth were too sore to eat the Lamb cassorole that Mum made, so I had scrambled eggs, and will have a cup o' soup soon.
And Dad and Uncle Pete have been to work for a few hours, and just got home.
I've also been reading a book caled "How To Stop Your Kids From Going Broke" by Sylvia Bowden. Although I didn't hear her, she spoke at the Brain Conference I went to early last year.
It's a really good book!

This Week Part 1
Hey!
Monday this week we started school (at home!). It ended up being a full-on day, but still not managing to get all my work done =(
Tuesday was more school, while the others went to Drury Christian School to see if a violin they had was the right size for Monique (it wasn't).
Then going to my 3:30 flute lesson, before getting ready to go to athletics at 5:30.
I only had one friend at athletics that night [ =( ], as quite a few people were away tramping (I hear they had heaps of fun!). We had Discus, 200m, High Jump (which I skipped), and 800m.
Wednesday the others went over to KBB Music in Epsom while I did school work, oh, and started a cheesecake, and put the dough on for chelsea buns.
Then we went to athletics training that night.
