Harry Potter all over again

Oh I'm devastated.

This isn't fair.

It can't be true.

WHY!!!!!


         Okay I have pulled myself together and I'm ready to tell you what has happened.  So you know a post or two ago when I was talking about that amazing book and movie Flipped?  Well I don't know if I told you that Aliese started reading it aloud to us.  We spent two or so weeks in heaven and than died all over again when it was done.  First Harry Potter than Little House on the Prairie and than Disnyland.  We were lost and troubled souls.  But than the book Flipped pulled us out of the depths of despair and we were saved!  We got the movie and oh how we loved it.  Than rather suddenly and without warning mom took it back to the library and what were we left with?  Nothing.  Me and Gracie through a tantrum.  Than the heavens opened once again and every day we escaped into the world of Flipped.  For to weeks we had something to hold on to.  And than . . . . just the other day . . . . didn't even have the book.  We fell down down down down past the depths of despair and into nothingness.  When the movie was gone we would say " At least we have the book" but than we didn't.  What do we do know?  What do we think about? What do we have to look forward to?  The only heaven we have these days is when we are watching Avonlea.  Yes.  I suppose that does mean that we are holding on to something.  But we don't watch it everyday.  So . . . . we are left in the depths of despair.

Oh this world of ufortunate events.

 Oh this world of disappointment.

Oh this world of lessons to be learned.  Even though I wasn't taught a lesson because of this.

Weather forecast and some other things

        Maybe a week ago I was getting out of bed with a blanket and robe, I was starting to get hopeful thinking that it is finally going to cool down.  Well my friend I was wrong. 
         Mornings are okay and mom says "It feels great out here!  You should go to the park!"  Not me.  Nope.  By ten o'clock the sun is burning and you are sweating.  I can't imagine getting up with a blanket anymore.  Last week wish was canceled because it was 106 degree's out there, and our building is hotter inside than out.  Can you even imagine?  All I have worn to wish at all is skirts, skirts and the shortest shorts I can find(witch really aren't that short) but mainly skirts.This new weather forecast is driveing mom insane!  She comes back from the grocery store and what do we hear . . . "Oh, it is SO HOT out there!!!"  just what we want to here, she's basically saying we can't go to the park today.  It's like we're snowed in.  We only go out side when we have to.
          Now for some other annoying stuff.  She's seven, she has brown hair and blue eye's . . . . ding ding ding!  Gracie.  She hasn't really done anything wrong it's just super annoying.  Her cloths.  Oh boy it bugs me big time.  Gracie chooses a church dress and tap dancing shoes to wear for a week or so.  Yep.  She wears the same church cloths every single dirty day of the week.  She eats, plays, sings, dances, plays in the dirt with the same cloths.  Oh man, they are dirty, they are super dirty.

I'll try to hold on till she grows out of it, love you.

Flipped over flipped

You know what I'm talking about?

Probably not.


Flipped(sigh) is an unbelievably awesome book.  And movie.  It's about a girl who has a huge crush on this boy who hates her cause she is so annoying . . . but things change.  Anyway, Aliese's friend let her barrow it cause she thought she would like it.  So . . . Aliese read it.  And loved it.  And in three days she finished the 212 paged book and started mopeing about the house like me with Harry Potter(but not as bad)  she looked to see if the library had the movie and after finding out that they did she couldn't stop saying "Oh I can't wait!" or "This is agony!" or "I can't wait much longer!" sounding like me when I have to go to the bathroom during the dishes.  Aliese reminded mom to get flipped millions of times before she went to the store, and when she got home we're like "Where is it?  Where is it?"  and she forgot it.  When she was gone me and Gracie got excited and anxious too.  Than when mom got back she made us wait a half hour till we watched it because she would be gone.  So we waited a stupid HALF HOUR!!!

Mom left.

There was no silence.  As soon as mom shut the door Aliese climbed down from her loft, I shut the computure and Gracie shut her mouth. We ran to the couch put the DVD in the DVD player and press menu.  There it was . . . . the menu . . . . we listend to the music for a sec than . . . . we pressed play.
        After about ninty minutes of laughing, sighing, crying, admiring, even yelling it ended.  Than we listened to the theme song "pretty little angel eyes" from the fifties(that's when it takes place) and danced to it.  Than it went back to the menu.  All was still.  Than me or Gracie asked if we could watch it again.  "Do you really want to?"  me and Gracie nodded.  So . . . . we watched it again!  It's the kind of movie you can watch over and over again and never get tired of.  It got better and better.  We probably have watched it eight times in five day.  I'm not kidding!  Plus the special features that we watched just as many times.  So we are really obsessed here.
       We quote it all the time.  And the actor who plays one of the main characters is from austrailia but he can talk with out the accent.  But in the special features he talks with it and I quote him all the time with the accent and Aliese laughs every time.  We have gone one whole day without watching it so that is pretty impressive.  I hope we can watch it at least one more time before mom takes it back.  I even had a dream about it.

Well got to go.  Love you!

4 thing to talk about

1.  I love the flute.  Partly because it's so easy, and I love the sound of it . . . I'm really excited!

2.  School is going great, I know I'm going to sound like my mom but I'm excited for this year.  We are lots more organized then we were last year.  We had our second week of wish a few days ago, I loved it, band lab is my favorite class I don't know why but it is.

3.  I have been writing a lot of stories lately, just the beginning but when I go down the list there are only a few I want to finish.  Every time I write a story I show it to Aliese and she gives me a big fat glare, and than she says "Another one?" so thank you Aliese you really know how to make someone feel loved.  I finished mom's favorite just the other day.  Most of my stories are fantasy  or love stories but the one I just finished was a children's book.

4.  The Walton's!!!!  Our new Little House on the Prairie!!!  We all love the characters and watch them any time we can, even during the dishes when I feel like my life is coming to an end I say "the Walton's" or "Harry Potter" over and over and over and over, and it really helps.


    It's late and I'm tired but I thought I should tell you what I have been up to.


   Love you

Green eggs and orange juice

   I have to take a big breath.


All right.  I just got done chasing Caleb up and down the stairs . . . why?  I will tell you.


      Me, Aliese, Gracie, Nathan, Caleb, Seth, and Luke were all watching a movie when Diane was making lunch(pancakes) The visiting teachers came knocking on the door.


Pause.


Nathan walks out of the room and into the kitchen, Diane opens the door and says hi, I pause the TV and walk out of the room.  Everyone eventually makes it into the kitchen.  Nathan was in charge of the pancakes and we all stare at him.  The boys say stuff like . . . .

Hurry up Nathan!
Gross now the other one's dirty
Did you sneeze on them?

While me and Aliese are saying . . . .

Good job Nathan!
You can flip it now.
Wait a little longer.

 Anyway, Diane comes and takes a picture.  We all eat.
"I want an egg."Caleb said

So he makes an egg.

"That'sway to much salt"
"Did it break?"
"Will it taste good?"

 It looked good and he said it tasted good.So I asked if he would make me one . . . surprisingly he said yes.
"This is the first time I'v seen you do something like this Caleb!"  Gracie says
    "Thanks Gracie that makes me tingle inside."Me and Gracie laugh and he starts to make the egg.  I don't eat . . . I'm to worried about what I'm going to put in my mouth.  So while everyone is eating I was wondering what would most likely happen after I eat the egg.  Well, the egg was done and on my plate . . . this was the big moment, my options were to eather runaway and say I have to go to the bathroom or be nice try the stupid egg and move on.  Well it just so happens I choose to try the stupid egg and move on.
     Wait.  Salty . . . . . rich . . . okay I like it.  The yoke poured all over my plate.
"This is when you do this." Caleb said and he picked up my fork and dipped it in the yoke.
"Grose!"I screamed when almost shoved it into my mouth, I flew arms in the air and nearly fell over, the fork flew in the air and landed on the floor in a goopy, eggy, and soggy mess.
"Your cleaning this up!" I said and he said the same thing, abra cadabra an argument.  It lasted about five minuts everyone staring at me and Caleb yelling at each other.

Remember. The visiting teachers are in the next room.

"Guys! Caleb, if you get the paper towls downstairs you don't have to clean up the mess!"
"Why can't I get them!"
"You can."
       Me and Caleb looked at each other for half a secent befor we darted for the stairs.  It just so happens the visiting sisters are blocking the stairs.  Caleb finds a way to get pass them while I was standing there looking stupid tempted to scream move old ladies!

Anyway, their was yelling,and there was running, and there was toilet paper and there were thanks(only to Nathan cause he ended up cleaning up the mess)but there were no I'm sorries in this story.

We have a new member in our family

I am so so SO sorry to say this(I guess I'm not SO sorry)but I hate it when Aliese sits on the piano bench. Do you know why?  Because when she sits on the piano bench she starts to play the piano.  Do you know what happens when she plays the piano?  A monster controls my body.  Do you know what that monster is full of?  Hate.  Don't get me wrong I don't hate Aliese I hate the song that she plays.

                                                                   It is called . . . .

Paparazzi.  (shivers) The song from Lady Gaga, well Greyson Chance(eye roll) Aliese's sun, star, life, and future husband(in other words she is head over heals) has made up his own version on the piano and Aliese learned it, and when she played the song on the piano for the first time in her life. . . . she never stopped.  It is the song that I hear when I'm eating breakfast, it is the song that I hear when I am eating lunch, dinner, when she is sad, angery, happy, or anything, it is the song that I play over and over again in my head at night!  Of course when that happens at night I concentrate more on things like. . . well I usually whisper things like. . . 

 Why?
 Should I put something in my ear so I can't hear?
 How is Aliese going to get married?
 WHY?
 Harry Potter
 I'm going to bed

So ya I hate the song a lot.  And here's the bad part, she doesn't just play it she(shivers) sings it.  Oi.
 So when she starts singing. . .  . well you know(I do not want to mention the name) so when she start singing you-know-what I start humming the Harry Potter theme song. Sadly, it does not work.
                 Well I'm going to look on the bright side now, I am learning the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song and I LOVE it so it is time Aliese gets a taste of her own medicine.



good luck Aliese.
