Beginning another year of homeschooling

Finally, another school year! I hate to disagree with my peers, but I must admit I am beyond ecstatic that school has begun. For the first few weeks summer vacation is fun, Lake Hudson, trips downtown, sleepovers, seeing friends again. Then it turns to just plain, nothing to do. Technically, I don't start school until my things get here, but my time is mostly filled with reading books, then writing reports about the books, and drawing/painting. Right now my mom is in New Hampshire visiting my Aunt Tricia, she comes back tomarrow. While she was gone, and my dad was at work, my grandparents stayed with us. The first night Isabel and I kind of had a sleepover in the basement. My dad was sleeping in my bed (he was leaving for work in the mourning) so we slept on the basement couches. We watched "Blades of glory" then "Gilmore Girls, then we recited Bruce Lansky poetry to each other while we acted it out and wrote in our journals. Finally, we went to bed. The next mourning we slept in late, then had waffles. It was hot outside so I read on the trampoline, then went and read in my room. That night Isabel and I played night tennis. By night tennis I mean, the lights were out so I stuck my racket out and guessed where the ball was, it was fun though. When we got home we went to bed at maybe 10:00 after having taco scoops, which are everything you would find in a taco on a tortilla chip in cup form. The next day was filled with reading again, as well as New Albany tennis with Charlotte and John, recently they have not gotten along! Charlotte then had a private lesson so John and I just hit for a little while. When I got home I had Chinese food from early that day. That night I finished my book "Bronx Masquerade" the next day we went to the library and I got a new book called "Angel Isle". Now, I'm exhausted...Goodnight to all!
