Et cetera

Mary's coming home friday! We took her to Aunt Sue and Uncle George's farm so that they could mate her and she would have a kid. We had to do it now in order to have her kid in spring. While she was gone, Mom had me clean out her shed. So now it's nice and clean for her.

Mom's been teaching other kids piano, so about two days a week I come home and Mom isn't home. I kind of enjoy it. I sometimes go over to Allie's house. Sometimes from there we go to the park. Whatever we do, it's fun.

In social studies at school, we've been learning about Hitler. What a jerk! Today we played "Hide from the gestapo" where a small group of kids have to hide from the other kids, who try to find us. In less than a minute, we had to remove our schoolbooks, put our chairs on top of our desks, and get in the closet and in our hiding places. We hide behind some boxes. I find it pretty fun.

My mom just got home. Bye!

What Happened

Ok. First things first. Kittens. Allie's family adopted Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. I kept Grizabella and Mistofelilees. Only Macavity had to go to the pound. And the pound called me a week after I dropped her off, saying that she'd been adopted and named Crookshanks.

The family reunion. A TON of relatives came down from Canada. It seemed like there was not one kid that spoke English. They all spoke French. To further confuse things, there was an old grandmotherly lady named Joanna, and our names kept on getting mixed up. Then there was the food. My family brought a frozen berry dessert. But every single one of the relatives was allergic to strawberries! The food they brought was totally weird. The grossest things were as such:
celery, cottage cheese, and peanut salad; cherry-stuffed onions; peanut butter on a stick (be sure to roll in garlic breadcrumbs!); and something called "pear salad", made by putting a canned pear half on a lettuce leaf, adding a blop of mayonnaise, and sprinkling on grated cheese. They also brought a drink made with maple syrup, apple cider, and cranberry juice.
On the bright side, I won't have to go to another family reunion anytime soon.

I've started school. I'm in advanced writing and am the editor for the Sixth Grade Page in the school newspaper. It isn't too bad.

By the way, I'm starting flute soon. I hope to post again sometime within this month.
