Lots of Stuff

It's the end of the summer. Already. Wha? I'm not so sure how that happened or how I feel about that.

I've been very kinda busy lately. I really do keep meaning to put stuff on here, promise. The first thing I have been meaning to put on here is our trip to Minnesota. It was really awesome. We stayed at my aunt and uncle's house. The weather couldn't have been perfecter. Boating and tubing on the Mississippi & St. Croix rivers was quite nice. The water was really clean and there wasn't much of a current. There was a nice little island with sand and cool rocks where we stopped for awhile. After leaving their house, we stopped at grandma Pat's in Wisconsin and stayed a few days there. The fun thing about that was that we went to Circus World, the awesomest circus I have ever been to. It's got a really great circus and also several museumy things, the coolest being the circus wagon one. It has like 70 old and really beautiful circus wagons from when there were like travelling circuses and stuff.
Something you may not know is that my family lived in Minnesota for like three years. It was very nice to see old friends and tour the neighborhood where we used to live.

The day after we got home we decided that it would be a good idea to move my bedroom on the second floor to the basement. This turned out to be a really good idea and it is quite awesome now. Like, really. Awesome. It was a lot of work though.

Okay, so the day that we moved my room my aunt and cousin came to our house and spent the night and the next day I went back with my aunt to have a very nice weekend with her.

AND THEN when I got back I did more work on my new room.

AND THEN this week there were some awesome things at school, although we still havent gotten back to school yet, that starts on monday. The first one was an open house thing where we got to meet our new teachers and that was very awesome and it got me very excited to go to school becaue the classroom is really awesome and I think I am really going to like my new teacher. My teachers this year are, well, here's the thing, it's very difficult to explain things somethimes when you're using pseudonyms becasue then if people reading actually know the person to whom you are referring things might become rather confusing and I'm kind of starting to really dislike using pseudonyms so here. Sometimes I'm going to use them, sometimes not, sometimes I'll use an initial. If you have a pseudonym on here you likely know who you are anyway to I will probably keep using that, for instance Bree, Fiona, Abeliene. Okay? Okay. Okay, now. Ms. Eileen and Ms. Amy are my teachers this year. I'm still not totally sure how all of this is going to work out because I think Mr. Rouse is doing social studies and yeah. I'm really excite for math, which Ms. Amy is teaching so I hope I don't miss Mr. Rouse too much because he used to be my math teacher and I really liked him.

So the next day after that there was a ribbon cutting ceremony thing at the awesome new building of our school since it's new and awesome. That was fun.

But yeah. This summer was filled with a lot of awesome and I'm sad to see it go so soon.

But yeah. I'm also glad school is staring monday because I think that if this summer was much longer I would get very bored very fast.

HOT

It is so hot here the birds don't even sing in the morning. Really, they don't sing that much at all lately. I don't blame them.
It is so hot here that neighbors don't sit outside in the evening and chat. We don't go to the park very often. I don't blame us.

It hasn't rained very much. The only reason I don't say "it hasn't rained" is because it did rain this morning. But it's just not enough. It's being classified as extreme drought and my uncle (a farmer) says it's the worst drought in our area since the weather people started keeping record like 90 years ago. Everything is brown and the leaves on some trees are literally turning brown and falling off. It looks like fall already. Only it doesn't feel like fall. It. Is. So. Hot. Bleh.

So we sit. And watch the Olympics and eat ice cream.
