Hello all my readers!  I am SO sorry, I have failed you in my promise of family updates and daily posts.  So, family update.

Today we are sending out our yearly newsletter, with information about our move and all that.  Of course, that is what I am doing, and I am doing it faster, but I guess for Mom and Dad sending it out in super slow 'real' mail is way cooler.  (???)
I have decided to start two small businesses in Texas, Study Corner (research foundation) and B-B-Gun Incorparated.  Lol, Skoshi shook on it, it is officially Incorporated.  B-B-Gun Incorparated's actual name is Bug-Be-Gone Incorparated, but I shortened it.  For those of you who live in or near Grandbury TX, and have grasshopper, katydid, or cricket problems, me and Skoshi (employee) are on patrol.  If you wish to participate in a poll, just comment, and results will come out sometime here.
The current research going on is: do boys break more bones than girls?  Please comment or it won't be very accurate research!

I'm pretty sure all of you know that my Dad is going to Honderas to command for a year, and in result we are going to move to TX.  Yay.

  Just got home from homeschool art class. Did a HUGE pic!  BFF Elena is at my house right now, we are having SO much fun!  Will post later, kind of busy.

  I have recently found I really enjoys stuff like puppets and claymation, and well, stuff like that.  I'm surprised you don't find stuff like that at an art contest or something.  By-the-by, does anyone know why people call LA 'language arts', but don't actually call it an art?  I am very puzzled.
  As I was saying before my un-focused mind wandered.  I have found that if you take your hand and find a flat surface, so just the tips are touching, you have yourself a little playmate.  Just lift you middle finger to make a head and boom!  A small, scurrying animal to play with!  :-)

  I just thought of a contest!  All of you reading this, take a picture of your Christmas tree and decor.  Post it as a comment, and we will see who has the best.  (results will come on Christmas eve).

  I have recently quit doing KungFu, so now Mom and Dad have started our own PE system.  Running on the treadmill (difficulty: fainting {10} ), Homeschool PE (difficulty: fainting {9} ), and jumping on the trampoline (difficulty: panting {6} ) all count as PE ( total difficulty level: 8.3333[....] ).  I can't say that DAC (Department of Approving and Control) approves in this case.  }:-(

  I have recently gotten my Mom to repaint my nails, this time red and silver (they were pink).  I looked it up, and here is what I found for "Christmas Nail Polish Designs".  Seriously, those are just TOO fancy to have been hand painted.  I seriously do NOT like those sticker nail thingys.

Having an iPad is very helpful, I fully suggest it.  Imagine having a cacularor, a movie theater, games, a notebook, your emails, your BLOG, your photos, and your  contacts in an object smaller than a clipboard and thinner than a quarter of an inch.  It's an iPad!

Some apps that are simply must haves:

TED,
iShoot lite (2)
Pitfall
BrainPop,
Minecraft PE (available for iPod too)
iFighter
And DragonStory

I totally love having an iPad, it means so much less STUFF for me.  Everything except lipstick and food, boom, right there.

The reason I like being an 11-year-old is I'm not 'a kid' anymore.  I am a 'tween'.  I've divided people into groups:
0-2: baby
2-6: terror (aka toddler)
7-10: kid
11-13: tween
14-18: teenager
18-25: collage kids
25-59: adults
60-...: older adults
I have finally reached the age of tween.  Hooray!

Just two examples of the kind of art I do.  My favorites are clay, sketchy ink drawings, and oil pastel.  The only kind of art I DON't like is paper mache.
