Fun with Friends

But before we got puppies, Beanie Baby spent the night. We had so much fun we cooked pizza and bread sticks. After that we hung out and talked and made videos. But then after we decided to dye our hair. Me and Beanie Baby and Ticklish Princess went to the bathroom and I went first and I dyed the tips of my hair Vampire Red.
Then Ticklish Princess died her hair purple. Then Beanie Baby, who already had dye on her hair, put more dye on. After we were done, it was time to go to sleep because we needed to get up early for a Bible quiz. We didn’t  go to sleep; we were still talking and laughing and having a great time.
So finally we quieted down and went to sleep. The next day we were sleep deprived and we laughed at the stupidest stuff, but we had a great time. But we also did pretty well. After that we went to Beanie Baby’s house and hung out for a while and then went home.               

Puppies are Funny

On January 8, I and my sister and my dad went to church. Then after church we went to the pet store to get stuff for puppies. Then we went to get our new puppies. Our puppies are 25 % Shih Tzu and 75 % Yorkie or “Shorkies”.  We met the breeder and she had our puppies. She told us all about them and she also gave us special food for them. Then we got in the car and went home. 
When we came home we took them outside to go to the bathroom. After that we took them in our room and they ran wild. It was so fun to watch them. But then the night time came and we were getting ready for bed. We put the puppies in their crates and we turned off the light, and the puppies started barking. At first we ignored them but they were so loud so we couldn’t sleep. So the next night we put my puppy in the bathroom in his crate, and that didn’t work. So the next night we tried a different plan and we put my puppy in the kitchen and that didn’t work either.
So then I tried a different plan and I went and slept on the couch. Then I woke up and didn’t hear anything at all because my puppy was asleep. I did that for almost a week but then I had to go away for the weekend and my mom watched them. But the puppies missed us, and we missed them too.

My Teacher Came to America.


Last year my Russian teacher came to America. She came with a lot of kids on the hosting program. Me and my friend Masha went to meet her at the airport. We were in the waiting room for a long time. Then we saw them and my teacher was so happy that she was crying. Then I saw more of my friends from the orphanage and we talked and I translated for families that needed help. I was so glad to do the job because they will say something funny and you both laugh. That was the fun part.
Then the hosting program was having a picnic and I was invited. So me and my dad went and we had a lot of fun. We saw my teacher and I translated for her and a lot of other people. Then a lady came and said to tell my teacher’s friend that she is staying with her next week and she also said that I’m welcome to her house to translate. Then next week I went to that lady’s house. When we came she showed where I was going to sleep and she said, “Make yourself at home”. Then I stayed up till 5:00 o’clock playing games on the laptop and I had fun. Then on the next morning we went to some friends of hers and we went swimming in a lake that was 35 feet long. After that it was time to go home so we stopped to eat and I came home.
Then later in the week I was went to the mall with my dad and my teacher. We picked her up from the train station. Then we stopped and had breakfast and went to the mall. In the mall we had fun looking at the clothes and trying on funny clothes. Then the store was closing, but there were good sales and my teacher bought something for her family as a souvenir. It was so hard to take her out of there but it was fun. Then we ate and talked about how my friends were doing and what I heard was bad news.

New Years Resolutions


In Russia we kids didn’t do a New Year Resolution’s. The first time I did resolution was New Year‘s Eve 2009. Me and Ticklish Princess went to a New Year’s party at Beanie Baby’s house. After wards we spent the night there. We worked on a list of 100 things we wanted to do and change in 2010. We didn’t get to 100 because we ran out of things to write after 20. Then we were very tired because we stayed up late when we spent the night at Beanie Baby’s house. Then the next day we decided we wouldn’t continue the list because we didn’t have 100 things to put on it, so we crumbled it up and threw it away.
This year I’m hoping to change. It will be hard but I will try my best. I realized that I need to change or a lot of bad things will happen to me in the future life. One example is, I need to loose weight, or I might catch diabetes and I don’t want that to happen. The other thing I want to change my is attitude. I want to become even happier than I am already, and not look on the past life where evil was all around me and I couldn’t get out. This time I want to look on the plus side, not on the minus, and never give up. I want to stay on the right track and not let the devil mess up my life or win me over on his side.

Another thing that I want to become better at is helping my friends and listen to them when they want someone to listen to them. I want to be with them in rough situations with them and protect them from evil. When they are about to give up I want to be there and give them courage. One last thing is I want to become a better person in my family, which is very important to me. I don’t want to make my mom worry about me getting I trouble. I want to make my mom happy.
