I Did It!

Remember when I asked for money to buy a water buffalo for a needy family? Well, I did it!

I donated $250 to the Heifer Project to buy a water buffalo, which we couldn't raise enough money for in second grade. But now I've done it! I raised money through ChipIn, and I owe thanks to:

Mom, who gave a lot of money
Big Pain, $10
My grandpa, $10
Daisy, $1
Dashery Jewelry, $10
iPentimento, $5

And I want to say thanks! I couldn't have done it without your help.

On Memorial Day

Remember those who died like you'll remember this image.


PS: Happy almost summer! School's out on Friday for me, and on Thursday, for the end of year party, we're having a CARWASH! (Only teachers and parents, tips go to the 3rd grade teachers.) (It was my mom's idea.) On Friday, I get to throw Froot Loops at the 6th graders while they do their graduation procession. (Best part of the year!) Sadly, Big Pain did not stay at my school for 6th grade, so I do not get to throw Froot Loops at him.

My Mom's Coming Soon!

Yes she is! But not alone. *Sigh.* Big Pain and my cousin who is another Big Pain are coming too. They were and are all on a train trip in Flagstaff, Arizona. I hope they come soon!

Has This Ever Happened To You?

Are you ready for some fun? Well then prepare for a bundle of laughs. These are 3 LOL stories.

Here's the first one:

It's winter. It's cold. There are those times where anything will freeze. Except computers. Those freeze in a different way. On to the story, anyway. Big Pain was pouring water out of his window in the car. It froze in 3 seconds. Ms. Witty and I tried it. It worked! So all of a sudden, the day was off to a good start, just because of a fun discovery.

THE END (of the first story)
PS: We had a picture of it, but we can't find it.

And the next:

Let's move to a different setting: summer. It's hot. You're bored. You decide to fry eggs on your driveway. That's exactly what Big Pain and I did. We cracked them. And guess what? I won! Mine fried first! That's how you can brighten up your own summer day.

THE END (of the second story)

All right. You need a break. Get up, wash your hands, go to the bathroom, eat a snack, make sure the house isn't burning down, then come back. There's still one more story.

Are you ready? OK.

Last story, coming up:

It's winter, about ten years ago. (I wasn't alive. This is Ms. Witty's story.) But anyway, it's winter, about ten years ago. Ms. Witty heard the weather people saying that it was so cold that you could walk outside with a hot cup of coffee, throw the coffee up in the air, and by the time it came down, it would be frozen. Ms. Witty tried this, and it didn't work. Maybe because she was too chicken to go all the way outside, and not just stand in the doorway.

THE END (of the last story)

Let Me Tell You About Wagons West...

Since this year I'm in third grade, I have Wagons West. Wagons West is the study of westward expansion. We read books and do big projects. We've just finished Sail America. (Don't ask.) It's going to be fun and I can't wait. I think it will be awesome. Big Pain did this, and it went great. He even dried fruit like the pioneers did. It was really cool. Soon my winter break starts, then school gets back on my birthday. When school gets back, we're gonna start on the real projects.

I can't wait!

...Happy Birrrrrrrrrrrthday Tooooooo Youuuuuuuuuu (Cha Cha Cha!)

Not my birthday, no. Not Big Pains either.

Ms. Witty's.

She doesn't want me to tell how old she is today.

Let's celebrate!

Go over to http://blog.feefifoto.com to wish her happy birthday.

Thanks!

My New Webkinz: Stan The Manatee

Yes, and it was all my idea. Ms. Witty's and Big Pain's suggestions were: Paul Newmanatee, Speed, Dash, Manny Tee. Anyway, this is my new Webkinz, Stan the Manatee. I thought that was pretty obvious. He is an underwater pet. That is very cool. I was aiming for an underwater pet. I asked for Ms. Witty's and Big Pain's advice. I had the choice of a Bottlenose Dolphin, a Blue Triggerfish, a Fantail Golfish, a Clownfish, and of course, a Manatee. They liked the manatee. I went with that.


I like Stan!

Almost Wordless Wednesday: It Says "Here Lies Cheese." Why? I Don't Know.

This is Big Pain. He had his friend make an outline of him. Ha ha ha. Tee hee hee. *Giggles*.

Is This Some Kind Of Joke?

So, have you read about my experience with oyster crackers? Well, if you haven't, you're in for a surprise.

Now go read about my oyster crackers and don't come back 'till you've read every single word!

Okay, have you done it? Good. So, let's get started!

Okay, here's a hint:


Okay, now do you think you know? Let's put it together. Sprite+My oyster crackers adventure=Uh-oh. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yes, you are good.

Here's how it happened:

So, Big Pain was at school, and he bought me a Sprite. We got to his school, and he ran. With the soda in his backpack. You see where I'm going with this, right? Yup. I think you're smart enough to see the problem. So, he got in the car, and said, "Hannah Fanna, I got something for you." I replied "Oh cool, thanks!" And out he pulled the bottle. Dun, dun, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. I opened it. But this time, it didn't go BOOM. It went the way that always happens. Tsssssssssssssssss. I was soaked.

Why am I cursed?

PS: Big Pain kept on apologizing.

My List Of Complaints

Big Pain started middle school today. I'm bored. Big Pain started middle school today. I start third grade tomorrow. Big Pain started middle school today. I'm lonely. Big Pain started middle school today. I'm hungry.

Oh! And did I mention that Big Pain started middle school today?

School

School, school. Mine starts tomorrow. 3rd grade. Big Pain starts middle school today.

Do YOU have school yet?

So, Last Night I Was Over At Rockstar's House, To Watch...

...The world premier of the Cheetah Girls One World movie. So, let me tell you about our great night:

First, I went up to her door and rang the bell. Rockstar, closely tailed by her 4 year old brother, who says he will be 5 on September 42nd, now known as Him. Well, anyway, they came running to the door. Big Pain carried around Him for a minute or two, and then Ms. Witty and Big Pain left. After they left, Rockstar picked up a ukulele and began goofing around. We played on the computer for about a hour. Then we ate dinner. Then...

THE MOVIE STARTED!

Rockstar's nanny brought us popcorn. Then, for a bit, we were throwing up popcorn and catching it in our mouths.

What a night.

Wordless Wednesday: Mmmmmmmm...

...Welcoming home Big Pain can be delicious.

Guess who?

Yeah! Me! I'm back from camp. My favorite thing was tubing. It was awesome. I loved it. I took some pictures I'll show you soon.


Because I really want Miley Cyrus's new album, (Breakout, but Ms. Witty won't buy it for me,) here are 7 things about camp:

1. There was a pool and a lake.
2. I was in cabin G-3.
3. I enjoyed the food.
4. I had a top bunk.
5. I had Hannah Montana sheets. (Cool!)
6. I sent Big Pain an empty envelope. (Ha ha!)
7. Ms. Witty sent me a 3 pounds of Laffy Taffy.

There! 7 things! See ya!

I'm Going To Camp!

Yay! I'm going to Camp Sabra, in the Lake of the Ozarks. I've never been to sleep away camp before. Big Pain goes to Thunderbird in Bemidji MN, and Big Pain II and Mr. Tall go to
Timberlane in Wisconsin. I've always been the one who helped make "Welcome Home" banners for Big Pain. But this means I'll be off of my blog for 1 or 2 weeks. Ya got that?

Okay! Bye! (For one or two weeks!)

Aloha!

I'm going to London for my supposed-to-be-9-year-old-trip. I'm not even going to be 8 and a half.

Yay me.

Okay. I'll tell you what a 9-year-old-trip is.

When Girl Cousin (my oldest cousin) was little, she told Hold The Glass (my grandma) and Mr. Coffee (my grandpa) "You're always out of town. I want to go with you." Hold The Glass said "Oh, don't worry. We'll take you to Paris."

That was the start of the 9-year-old-trips.

The middle cousin, (hereafter known as Mr. Tall, because I say so,) went to Alaska.

Youngest cousin: (now Big Pain II) anyway: London.

Big Pain: San Fransisco.

I'm the last one. Okay! Drive careful! Bye!

*Moan.*

Big Pain is somewhat sick. Too bad. This morning I had a bit of a fever. Oh well.

Braces? Anybody? Retainer? Anybody?

I found out last night that I need a retainer. The orthodontist said I have Ms. Witty's teeth. I think Big Pain isn't so keen on the idea. It only looks like he has bad teeth. This might mean I'll get braces before him. Yay me!*clapping a lot.* I'm kind of excited! I'm going to get it in two weeks. It will be sparkly pink, and sparkly silver. They had to make a mold, and I had a nasty tasting flavor: fruit punch. I gagged, I coughed, I spit. Because... It was nasty. I never want to do that again. Ever. Notice the emphasis on "EVER."
