We had a big storm during the night.  There was a tornado in the area.  Our electricity was out for 20 minutes but I was sound sleep during the entire thing.

I took my sack of recycling to school.  Last week was supposed to be Earth Day week, to help us learn about protecting our planet by "recycling, reducing, and reusing".  We are doing some of that unit this week.

We had some excitement late in the day.  There was a fire or something in the science lab, so we evacuated the building.  One police car and one fire truck came to the scene.  Oh, what fun.  No one was hurt.  I'm not really sure of any details.  ------ Oh, now we know, there was no fire at school, just the smell of gas.   
Papa flew in from Nigeria early this morning.  I hope I get to see him very soon.

Behavior = Red = Outstanding

 This was my spring school picture.  Mommy order some for everyone.

 My weekly report.

 I did a great job on recalling information from one of our books.

I was very happy to get an E and smiley face on this writing rubric.


I jumped off the bus expecting to see Mimz, but since soccer practice was canceled by today's rain and I wanted to go to swim team practice, she didn't come get me.

We babysat Alyssa for two hours after school.  I did homework and Alyssa helped me some.  She is a very very good reader.  I need lots of practice to become a better reader.  Alyssa and I played with Anna Kate and then we played outside with Tyler, a fourth grader.

When Mommy got home, I ate, got dressed in my swim trunks and waited for time to leave.  Alyssa and Cole came with us.  They watched me swim and then we played on the playground.  Back home, I played outside with them for thirty minutes.  Cole and I took off our shirts and I ended up with several bites on my back after rolling around in the grass.  I ate again, bathed, and did more homework, and managed to get in bed by 8:30pm.  It didn't take me long to fall asleep.

Barbara is keeping track... she thinks there are 23 more days of school.  I wonder why she is counting the days.

Cousin Lilly should have her baby boy (to be named Jett) this evening...maybe he is already here.
.................

Cousin Lilly had her baby boy before 9:30pm. Mother and baby are fine.   Jett Thomas R   8 pounds 14 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long.
Congratulations.

Aunt Kathy and her fifth grandchild.  That makes her have four grandsons and one granddaughter.


Mimz has been walking, trying to get in six miles a day.
