Super Reader

At Barnes and Noble bookstore, there was a reading challenge, and you would get a free book if you completed one of the forms.  I did two, so I got two free books, but we pretended one was Anna's, because you couldn't get two free books at once.

At the library, there was a reading program, too.  You had to read 18 half-hours and you would get little prices, like free stuff or tickets to stuff, but if you finish all of the program, you get a free book.  If you finish a half hour, you get small stuff.  But if you finish five, you get a prize out of the treasure chest, and if you finish 10, you get a prize out of the treasure chest.

I finished the whole program, and then I got to go on to a challenge program.  I had to read a new non-fiction, a classic, and books that I don't normally read.  I had to read a historical fiction, but I always read historical fiction, because I'm always reading Magic Tree House, which is historical fiction.  I finished the challenge program, so I'm going to go to the library soon and see what I get!

Swimming Test

I passed the swimming test!

So now I can go off the diving board!

I was practicing when my dad was in the baby pool.  And my dad went in the bathroom when I passed the swimming test, so I surprised him.  Then we went off the diving board.

I had to swim 25 yards to pass the swim test, without touching the ground, touching the side, or taking a break.

Grandma's House

I went to sleep over at my Grandma's for a week with my sister and my cousins, Laura and Adam.  Adam is six and I'm six and a half.  And Laura is 3, a year younger than Anna, and Adam is a year younger than me, because I was born in 2005 and he was born in 2006.

Every morning we played inside.  Then after lunch we played with the water slide, pool, and slip and slide, and splash pad.  Then when we came in, we changed and had supper.  Then we took showers, but we didn't go to bed, we watched a movie.  Except for Saturday, we went and got pictures taken and got new shirts.
