Service

This Friday I went to the house of a family in our ward for a day just to serve. First, we went outside, took a whole bunch of junk out of their car, and I vacuumed it. Then we scrubbed it for a while. It looked like a fairy godmother had come and transformed it.
I can't remember the exact order of things I did, but at some points I kept the kids busy, I helped the girl that's one grade younger that me clean out her clubhouse, swept the stairs in the backyard, tried to help a bit with lunch, went to DI with them, played on their Wii for a while with them - and I had a lot of fun.
I also got to know that family much better. They will be moving soon and right now they are really busy so I'm glad I could help them. The sad thing is, I feel I got to know them so well that I started really liking them, so I'm going to miss them when they move. I hope we'll meet again sometime.

I love serving. I'm glad I could take a day to really help someone out.

This is an awesome movie! I was amazed when I saw it.

Summer!!!

It's finally SUMMER!!! I have lots of great plans. Our family is going to Puerto Rico (more about that afterwards) - I'm so excited! I also have my other plans, like going through all my stuff (toys, books, clothes, etc.) and doing arts and crafts and hanging out with friends --- it's gonna be so fun!

Sad thing - during the summer you're usually home more than during the school year. That means messier house which means (ugh) more chores. I'm NOT excited for that part. All well!

Oh, I also plan to earn a lot of money this summer doing lemonade stands, working in gardens and such, mowing the lawn, doing extra chores, etc.

I love summer! Don't you?

SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 4 days left of 5th grade! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!
