Graduation Parties

     My sister's graduation party is coming tomorrow so we've been getting ready, buying decorations, and making food this week (and you can add last week too). My sister originally started with a pink and green theme, but it turned into a pink and green beach theme when we found a ton of pink and green beach stuff at the dollar tree. I did not know how it was possible to spend 80 some dollars at the dollar tree, but we did. (Dad only thinks we spent half of that, so shhh. (=  ) We bought a LOT of stuff but it looks really cool. 

    I've been helping my grandma with a lot of the food making. Yummy. My cousins from Denver arrived yesterday.  I haven't seen them in four years so that was really fun. Her party is going to be at a new horse barn that was built. The owners have a kind of house thing with it that you can rent for graduation parties. Its kind of hard to find the place though because its behind a row of trees. My mom and dad rented a bouncy house for the little kids. 

   A few of my cousins and me have hatched a surprise for my sister. It involves a song that we all sang when we were camping and stuff.  It will be fun to see what happens. Some of the adults will probably think we're a little crazy. =)   I can't wait until my sister's graduation party, it will be a lot of fun.

A Blank Check

http://www.sageapple.org/donate.html

   If I were given a blank check to spend on five things that would improve our school, I would


- Make Our School Lunches Better (because they taste terrible.)

- Get Better Air Conditioners And Furnaces (because they never work when their supposed to and you end up freezing in the winter and roasting in the summer)

- Fix Water Fountains (they have no water pressure so you cant drink out of them)

- Improve The Computers And Update Microsoft (because our computers are really slow, I forgot exactly why their slow; and our Microsoft powerpoint, documents, etc. needs updated so they have the better and improved things.)

book-review-scorpio-races-maggie-stiefvater/

- Add A Lot More Fiction Books To The Library (we used to have a ton of books, now we hardly have any)


Those are a few things I would spend the money on. What if you had a blank check? What would you spend it on to improve your school?

Golden Retrievers

http://www.funnyfunnypictures.net/golden-retriever-pics-865.htm

If I could be a dog, I would want to be a golden retriever.

• Golden Retrievers are:
• Friendly and fun 
• Lively and energetic
• Loyal and obedient
• Easily trained
• Eager to please

They also love challenges and tasks and they learn quickly, which is like me. I also want to please my parents and teachers. I think if I were a dog I would be a golden retriever. We currently have two part golden retrievers (Jet and Dolly). And we used to have a pure golden retriever called Coven. I love golden retrievers. They are my absolute favorite breed of dog. I think I would be a good golden retriever.

You can go to this website for some more on golden retrievers. (Of course there are more websites with more information on retrievers, but this one is a nice short and sweet summary.)
