Spirit Week

This week at Hamilton Middle School, is spirit week. We dress up differently every day ( accordingly ) to show our spirit and encourage our high school football team. Monday was disco day, but I didn't dress up ( I know, party pooper, right?). I did dress up for tacky Tuesday with some sixties glasses, pj pants and a retro headband. I didn't get a prize, though not quite as tacky as other people. Wednesday was disney character day, and again I didn't dress up. But, today, twin Thursday, my friend Savannah and I ended up being twins when we both showed up for school wearing sport sweats and hoodies. So, we were twins for the rest of the day. Tomorrow is Spirit day , I'll probably dress up. The stupid thing is, that actually, there is no homecoming game tomorrow. Anaconda copperheads had to forfit. Nineteen of their players have swine flue, so they gave the win the Hamilton. I'm happy that we "won", but kind of upset about it. Anyway, the week has been fun, and I had a good time:).

Cardinal Basketball

So, this year , of course I've joined the seventh grade basketball team for the Hamilton Colts.I've been playing the positions euro and wing. Though, I feel like I do better on defense then I do on offense. My coaches say that I am real good at boxing out, so what the heck, I'll agree with them:). Our season is almost done, and so far, we've been undefeated. Our last game is against Stevensville on Monday, which of course I'm not nervous at all about:). I'm really (actually) kind of excited! My number is 32 ( which is totally different than all of the other numbers I've had for sports: 4, 12, 7. I never get the same number). But I really think that our team is good, but needs some work if we want to make the eighth grade cuts. Because so many girls went out for basketball this year, hamilton had to make two seventh grade teams: Cardinal (me), and Silver(not me). Throughout the whole season, neither team has gotten beat once. So, they might want us to play each other. I guess that means that we have good coaches (great coaches). Mine is Coach Jessop, my friend Carlie's dad. The other coach is Coach Anderson, Hagan's P.E. teacher. They are both really nice, and I'm sad the season is ending.

Haeli's Bridal Shower

So, for the past couple weeks, Katie R. and I have been planning Haeli's bridal shower. It was hard work, but it was fun. I made these really cool invitations, but didn't get all of them out untill a week before the shower. Even though I sent out like forty invites, a good twenty-five or so of the people showed up. The food was good, the games were fun, and the conversations were great. Everybody had a good time, and Haeli got alot of cool presents.
All in all, it was great and everybody was happy.

Fire

Well, a couple weeks ago when Max came home for the weekend, my mom woke me up at about 1:00 in the morning. I followed her down the hall and walked into the living room. She opened the front door and I followed her in awe. 20 foot flames were flickering in the feild right across from the house. How scary!!!!
It turns out that our neighbor was washing her dishes and saw the field light up. She called the firemen and by the time we were out there, they had already came to the rescue. Everybody was up, standing outside watching.
Vixen, our little puppy, was the one who had woken my mom up. She was wining and so my mom was going to get up and take her out. When she walked out the door, she saw the fire.
Nobody knows what started the fire, but we all have a feeling that it was a cigarett butt or something stupid like that.
Thank heaven that we were all kept safe, but it was still a thrilling adventure.

Chalk Fest

Well, yesterday was "Daly Days" here in Hamilton. So, to celebrate we went to participate in the, "Chalk Fest". All ages get to pick a sidewalk sqare and draw anything they want with the chalk provided. Well, me in square number four, decided to draw a rainbow ballerina. It turned out good, I was pretty proud. Two squares over, Bohni drew a radio flyer wagon that was almost 3-D because it was shaded so good. Three squares over, Hagan drew an awesome pencil, with a matching earaser and sharpener(he labled the pencil, made in china:). In sqare number 23, my mother was making a masterpiece. She had the mountains drawn even more beautiful then they actually are:). Though, in the proces, while shading and blending the colors, mamma wore two bloody spots on her fingers(luckaly none of the blood got on her art work) and are still really sore.
We came back later to look at all the drawings and to hear the awards cerimony. I won first place in the 8-12 catagorie with a scetch pad and a cool pack of oil pastels. Bohni won a scetch pad with a pack of nice drawing pencil kit. We all thought for sure that mom would either win the adult catagorie or best of show, but some lady who drew a giant flower next to me won the adult prize, and a primary sea scene won the best of show( who the heck was judging?!) but at least we had fun doing it.
Surprisingly, about three hours later, it rained enough to make the streets look like little creeks! We rushed down to look at the drawings, wich were smeard and washed away to smitheriens! It was really pretty though:)
All in all, it was a fun experience, and we're looking forward to it next year!
