My laptop's death warrant is practically signed. As soon as possible, I will be getting a new computer. I'm looking forward to it. I have never had a new computer. For a while I shared a computer with my sister, then my dad gave me his old laptop, but now I should be getting a new computer all my own! I really am blessed.
My sister has taken up knitting. It is so funny to see her sitting there with this gigantic ball of wool, knitting away. It is the biggest ball of wool I have ever seen, probably the length of a ruler, and bright purple. She hasn't told anyone what she is making, except possibly our mother.
My birthday is exactly two weeks away! I'm really excited, but I'm worried that most of my presents will be IOUs. No one seems to have bought me a present yet!
We have all been really busy with schoolwork. Today my older brother and I found out that an assignment that we didn't even know about is due on Friday! My little brother and sister have their teacher coming around in two weeks, and the teacher for me and my brother is coming around next week.
Does anyone agree with me that it seems so weird to say or write 'my brother and me'? For example, which makes more sense, 'the teacher has come for my brother and I', or 'the teacher has come for my brother and I'? 'My brother and me' is grammatically correct, but doesn't sound write. My sister summed it up nicely. "The one that doesn't make sense is correct"!

April 18
It's my sister's birthday!!! We've spent the whole day singing on SingStar. She loves to sing, so that's what we have done all day. She even roped our brothers into it. They aren't very good, but it's fun. My sister and I are the best singers, so for the team games we split up into me and our older brother, and her and our younger brother. Mostly we got ties.
My sister liked the present my little brother and I got her! It was a miniature hat, that had special significance for us. It would take a lot of explaining, and it's kind of personal, so I won't explain, I'll just say that when she saw it she burst out laughing.
Square dancing last night was fantastic! We caught up on the new moves pretty easily. It was so funny when the caller called my sister out into the middle of the ring so that everyone could say Happy Birthday. The only problem is that my mother has said she'll do it for my birthday as well, and mine will be worse because it falls on the day, not the day after! She's talking about a cake!

My sister is playing on the keyboard. Her birthday is just over a week away, and her party is a few days after.
My little brother and I put our money together and bought our sister a present today. It's a little odd, but it has significance to the three of us. It's a reminder of something we used to do a lot, but don't have much time for now.
My older brother planned ahead this year, and bought our sister's present in January. The first time he told me, I thought he said July, and I was amazed that anyone would buy a present so far in advance! January is sensible though.
This post seems to be all about my sister! Well, she's the only one I have, and she has a birthday soon. I'd love to say how old she'll be, but instead I'll just say that it is an important birthday.

December 23
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. AAAAAH! I don't want it to come that fast, and yet, I do. I want to open all the presents under the tree, and watch everyone else open theirs. So I guess, I do want Christmas to come. It's just that it's coming faster than I thought.
My mother, sister and I had a girls afternoon yesterday. They painted their nails, and then we put on crazy makeup. My sister and I had never pained our nails before, and I still haven't. My sister looks unusual with bright pink nails, especially when playing the keyboard.
My older brother just accidentally whacked my younger brother in the eye, so he may have a black eye for Christmas! Hopefully not.
My brothers and sister are washing our guinea pigs. We have quite a few. I'm pretty sure we have 10. They get kind of dirty in the rain, and it was raining last night when we were looking at Christmas lights. They need washing, and their houses need cleaning and re-haying.
I have beaten my sister, at least temporarily, in the token competition I wrote about yesterday, . I have 45 hours, 50 minutes worth of reading, and 2 reviews, bringing me up to 11 tokens. My sister has 43 hours, 20 minutes worth of reading, and 1 review, so she only has 9 tokens. My older brother has 2 tokens, for 11 hours, 30 minutes worth of reading, and my little brother hasn't read at all, so he has no tokens. We are getting the tokens so that we can win an I-Pad, except my little brother is in the running for an iPod touch, being younger. The more we read and review, the more tokens we get, the more chances to win an iPad!
I may not be able to blog tomorrow, as my siblings are leaving at 10, and my mother and I are leaving at 3 to go to our grandpa's place for Christmas. If I can write tomorrow, it'll be the last post of the year. If I can't, this is.
So, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

December 20
My older brother and I just finished putting up Christmas lights inside, and it's hard! I don't usually stand on chairs, especially not ones that move! It's scary when it starts moving under you.
There is an rather large amount of presents under our Christmas tree. I believe it was 22 at last count, and more are yet to be added. Well, with a big family, lots of Christmas presents are the inevitable result. I have 2 of the biggest, and I think one of them is actually a small thing in a big box, but I have zip idea of what the other one is. It's lumpy, so it might be clothes.
Our house looks like Christmas time. Lights up inside and out, a Christmas tree with lots of presents, songs playing most of the time, if not on YouTube, on the keyboard. What about you, what do you do for Christmas? Do you even celebrate it?
My loopy little brother told us this morning that he would finish his breakfast before any of us. My sister beat him out, even though he had started his breakfast first! He takes a long time to eat. Sometimes, we've finished dessert while he's still eating mains!
Does anyone else have a reading program at their library? Our library has an online program this year, and I signed up. One of the prizes is an I-pad. That would be cool!
I think my favorite Christmas song this year is His Favorite Christmas Story. It has a beautiful story to it.
Well, Merry Christmas!!!
