At School

I have told you about softball.  Now I will tell you about what is happening in school.  I have a report on one of the planets that is due soon.  My teacher told the class to write a report about any planet.  My friend and I chose Mars.

Two Outs

In my last entry, I told you about how much I love softball.  This time, I’m going to tell you about my latest game.

It was the 5th inning, and my team was on the field.  I was playing third base.  The first batter up for the other team struck out.  The next batter hit the ball, which was on the ground, right to me.  Out!  The next batter did the same thing.  Out!  I got the two outs when the ball was hit, and the other one was a strike out!

I Love Softball

I play softball, and I love it!  I’ve improved my throwing and catching so much, and it’s great just to be out on the field and playing the game.  I have so much fun.  My dad is one of my coaches.  If  you  were to ask me if I like batting or  fielding better, I probably couldn’t choose.  I  like to bat, but fielding is exciting too.

The Worst Part of My Christmas Vacation

In other words, I had stomach flu. It only lasted for a day, though (thankfully!) It was the day after Jammie Day. We woke up to Maggie’s radio’s alarm, and I started feeling sick. (I had thought that the alarm made me feel sick!) Well, you know what happened next. I was over it by 5:00 p.m. My nose was still clogged up on and off until January 2.

Jammie Day

In our family, we set a day aside after Christmas to relax in our pajamas and play with our new toys.  I made lots of cards with my card kit. (Later, I used them for thank-you notes.)  We played a game that our Nana and Pap-pap had given us, Coo-coo the Rocking Clown.  You try to balance as many wooden cylinders as you can on Coo-coo’s arms, feet,and head without making Coo-coo fall over.

Christmas

As soon as it was 6:00, my sisters and I raced downstairs to open our stockings.  We got lots of presents, including toothbrushes, pens, pencils, and so on.  Our parents came down at 8:00, and we had breakfast at 8:30.  It was cinnamon rolls.  Then we went to open presents under the tree.  I can’t tell you everything I got, because it would take too long, but some of my favorites were a scooter, outfit, and a kit for making cards.  That afternoon, we went to our grandparents’ house.  My favorite present there was a watch.

Christmas Eve

My Nana and Pap-pap came over at 5:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve.  We talked for a while, then we opened our presents.  We got lots of wonderful presents.  Then we had dinner.  My mom usually uses paper napkins folded in rectangles for the table, but this time she used linen napkins folded in triangles.  I had a great Christmas Eve.

Holiday News

I had so much fun over the holidays. I’ll start at the beginning, otherwise known as December 21. Our school does a Christmas program every year. Each class is divided into usually two parts, and each part recites a passage from the Bible. The school choir, which I am in, sings some songs, too.

Each day, I’ll tell you about one day that was important for me over the holidays. It’ll make them last longer.

The Last Part

This is the last part of my jingle. It’s a conclusion, so it’s short.

But the toad,toad,toad

Went down the road,road,road

And was never seen again, again,again

Except by a hen,hen,hen.

The Car and My Mom

On Saturday night, my mom went to a “Cookie Exchange.”  She took our new car.  As she was driving, she hit a deer.  She was all right, but the front left side of the car was all smashed up.
