Sports and a Cold (WK. 8.3)

Hi everyone! Today was a pretty good day. When I woke up I had some chocolate peanut butter pie which was supposed to be for our dinner party tonight but our friends got sick and my uncle's flight got canceled. :( After breakfast we hung around a little bit and then we went to watch my team play a soccer game. Luckily, I am getting my crutches off soon!:) My team ended up losing 4-3 but we got really unlucky and none of our shots went in! After that we went home and had some lunch. For lunch we had pasta with meat sauce. It was awesome! Then, we went to watch my team play another game! They won this time! YAY! After that we just hung around like all afternoon and my throat began to hurt. Next, we made some dinner. We had flounder, asparagus, and macaroni and cheese. After dinner I got ready for bed.

It was really good! Especially the salad...Next, we went upstairs and played fashion show. It was fun! After playing fashion show we did fitness/ gymnastics. It was really fun and we worked out a lot! We had to wrap up stuff that hurt so I wrapped up my ankle and had to wear a boot. It was sprained I think... Sadly, around 10 they had to go home! It was really fun! Now I am getting ready for bed. Bye for today! See you tomorrow!

Next, we went to Staples to pick up some envelopes. That didn't take to long. Then, we went to the grocery store and got the ingredients for dinner tonight. Alex and I were planning on making chicken enchiladas using Laura Vitale's recipe. After the grocery store we returned home. At home we roller skated outside for a little bit and then went inside to make the enchiladas. After our enchiladas were in the oven we helped Katherine and Joy sell Girl Scout cookies (I did girl scouts last year) and we played basketball together. We only got to play for a little bit because then my mom came home and we ate the enchiladas. They turned out really good except next time instead of enchilada sauce I am going to use tomato sauce since it was a tiny bit spicy. After we ate Alex went to basketball practice and I went to soccer. Tonight at soccer we scrimmaged the whole time and it was fun. When I got home I completely forgot about my blog so I have to type this quick even though its late and I need to go to bed. Bye for today! See you tomorrow!

Cheerleading (WK. 4.3)

Hi everyone! Today was a pretty awesome day even though we had to leave Arlington. :( When I woke up I didn't really eat breakfast, instead my family went to get brunch around eleven. I got a biscuit with egg and bacon in it. It wasn't that good and I only took like 2 bites of it... Anyway, after that we went back to the tournament. Even though we're out of the tournament we went to watch the championships for the girls first. The girl's team that we were cheering for won and it was good. Then, it was time for the boy's championships! YAY! My school's boy team was in the championship! I did some cheerleading at the game and it was fun. The boys won the game but this tournament was a double elimination tournament and the other team hadn't lost yet so that meant the boys had to play that team AGAIN! I still did some cheerleading at the second game but sadly they lost! :( At least they came in second! After the games we had to drive back home. :( I didn't want to leave but we had to. On the way back home we stopped at this AMAZING Vietnamese restaurant and got dinner. It was SOOOOOOO good! I got fried rice with chicken and it was huge! Alex and I both brought home some of our food in a box since we couldn't finish! So, then we drove back home and unpacked. Now I am in my room typing this and then I am going to bed! Bye for today! See you tomorrow!

Hi everyone! Today was an awesome day! When I woke up I had a banana bread belvita. It was good. Then, I went to school. At school it was a half day so the whole middle school did this science and math activity where we had to build an invention. We were in teams and the best team's invention won a pound of chocolate. Building the invention was fun and in the middle I auditioned for my school drama play, My audition went good. My team didn't win the chocolate bar but it was okay. Anyway, after that activity we had an assembly. This bird guy came and talked about birds. It was kind of boring. Next, I got picked up from school and went home. At home I ate lunch which was eggs and bacon and then packed my bag for Arlington. After lunch my family went to Arlington. The trip was kind of boring but eventually we arrived. First, we got some pizza with my family, my aunts and uncles, and Grace's family. The pizza was good and finally it was time for our game. We lost our game sadly but I was still really happy since I got a three pointer!!!!! I was so shocked! After the game I went to my Aunt's house and got ready for bed. Today was a fun day and I can't wait for tomorrow when we have more basketball games. We still have a chance to win our tournament though but we can't lose another game. Bye for today!

Then my mom came home and we made dinner and ate it. We had penne a la vodka which is like pasta with sausage and this sauce. It was SOOOOO good!

I had to wake up at 7:30 and have a banana bread belvita again. Then, I got ready and went to school. School was okay.

Hockey! (WK. 2.3)

Hi everyone! Today was a pretty fun day even though the weather wasn't very good and I have to go to school tomorrow:(! When I woke up I ate a banana bread belvita(a belvita is basically a soft cookie thing). Then, I hung around, now that I think about it, I said hung around a lot. We were pretty bored until lunch time when I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a slice of leftover pizza. My family then went to a local hockey game. It was the Washington Chargers vs. the Florida Panthers. I live in Mecklenburg, VA so we went to see the Chargers and cheer them on.  Luckily, the Chargers won, 3-4! It was awesome and I got popcorn after first period! After the game we went to Harris Teeter and got some food. That was kind of boring. But now here I am on my laptop waiting for our meatless lasagna to cool off so we can eat it for dinner. It is meatless because we forgot to leave the meat out of the freezer. I decided to go ahead and blog because we should be going to bed after dinner since we have school tomorrow! :( Bye for today! See you tomorrow!

His team lost, but then with my friend Grace we went to Which Witch. I got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich  and a rice crispy treat. Next, Grace and I had our indoor 3 v. 3 soccer game. Our team lost too. :( Afterwards, our family went back home and we waited until 3 when Katherine and Grace would come so we could go to Sky Zone trampoline park. It was AWESOME! I was really excited because I finally did an aerial on the trampoline! When we were done with our time at Sky Zone we went to Menchie's and got frozen yogurt. I got cake batter with peanut butter and hot fudge. I know, boring! But I'm boring at frozen yogurt places. It was really good! Next, we had to leave Katherine and Grace and go home. I took a shower and then we had hamburgers and waffle fries for dinner! Yum! That was pretty much it for today! See you tomorrow!

Bored Day (WK 2)

Hi everyone! Today was a pretty boring day. I woke up and had a piece of cheesecake. After we went to BJ's to look at trampolines!!!! We found a pretty good deal and hopefully we can get it.

New Years 2015 (WK 1.7)

Hi everyone! Can you believe it is 2015? WOW! I had a great New Years party last night. There was pork, asparagus wrapped in bacon, risotto, chicken, escargot, fish, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, and oreo cake balls! We did sparklers, played a Vietnamese New Years game, and did fireworks. It was really fun! Now I will tell you about today. So we stayed at Katherine's house until 1:30 and we went to bed at 2:30 so I woke up at 12:30 today! When I woke up I took one bite out of a cookie and then didn't finish the rest. Next, Alex and I made a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake with a brownie base. It was for our New Year's meal later on. After, we went outside, did some gymnastics, played on the playground, and then went inside. I started coughing really badly after the cold air got in my lungs. Next, I set the table (it was like 5 by now) for our New Year's meal. This was our only meal today but surprisingly we weren't that hungry. We ate lentils, greens with pork, and rolls with ham and cheese in them. For desert we ate the cheesecake which was really good! Now I am writing this (well, actually after Alex and I made a presentation about why we should get a trampoline and watched bratayley) and tomorrow I have no idea what I am going to do. So bye for now! See you tomorrow!
