August 10

Sorry that I haven't posted for a while, but I've been sick. Now I'm getting over it, but my older brother is sick!

My little brother had a birthday two days ago, on the 8th. I got him a huge, rainbow umbrella. I didn't realise just how big it was until I saw it stretched out, but it really is huge!

My little brother and sister and I have rediscovered one of our old favorite TV shows: Recess! My little brother doesn't really remember it that well, but my sister and I do, and we are loving watching it all again. It always amazes me what you can find on YouTube.

It is really windy here. The guinea pigs don't seem to mind that much, but I do. Whenever I go outside, I freeze!

August 1

It's a brand new month! The year sure is passing by fast. We're two thirds of the way through already.

My little brother has his birthday in exactly one week. I already know that I will buy him an umbrella, I just have to get around to doing it! We made a deal that if he buys me an umbrella for my birthday, I would buy him an umbrella for his. He came through, now I have to as well.

My sister has been sick today, and slept most of the day away. I hope she feels better tomorrow, because tomorrow is the school Athletics Day! This year my older brother and I are in the pink group. He doesn't seem to mind, and I like pink, so I don't mind either. It's kind of fun to meet up with all of the other homeschoolers, but I don't like having a huge crowd there. Last year was weird, yet also cool. I was one of only two people in my entire grade! The other was a boy, and as almost all of the awards are divided into boy/girl sections, I won first place in practically everything! Best I've ever done at an Athletics Day.
