Testing

Today and tomorrow, the kids are testing. 

Mickey: "It was like going to school." 

Minnie: "Hmm...I don't know. It kinda took a long time." 

Chip: "Nora's lunch was just really good. Amazing. One of a kind."

Twinkle: "I only finished the sections ahead of everyone else twice. [sad face]. Okay, I just had a homeschooled moment. Excuse me."

This one is for you, Mom! Love you!

a random dialogue that twinkle and chip 

randomly came up with...

at random, 

randomly

Chip: X-Men stands for "Xaviers Men"! Hahaha!

Twinkle: Random. 

Chip: It's true.

Twinkle: I'm tired. I biked, today. In this oven of a desert. 

Chip: So did I. You have nothing to boast about. Ha-ha-ha. 

Twinkle: Are you packed? 

Chip: Should I be?

Twinkle: Thank you Captain Obvious! We are leaving tomorrow! 

Chip: Really, surprise, surprise...I didn't know that.

Twinkle (aside): That wasn't very funny. Say something better.

Chip (aside): I'm all out of words.

Twinkle (aside, again): Just because I beat you in a word-fight doesn't mean you have to act like a clam and shut your shell.

Chip (aside, again): What were we arguing?

Twinkle: I don't even remember anymore. RUINER!!

Chip: I understand it's all my fault. Right.

Twinkle (with a dramatic sigh): Farewell, cruel world! My brother has driven me to exhasperation! Farewell...and please serve chocolate cake at my funeral.

Chip: A-ha. So funny. Random. 

Twinkle: Almost as random as you saying that thing you said about X-Men. Random!

Chip: Oh, did you know that X-Men stands for "Xavier's Men"? Hahahaha.

Whoot!

This morning at a local highschool, I took my AP English Language and Composition test. 

Hooray for Peanut M&M's!

Whew. 

Congratulations all fellow AP-ers!

Girls Go To California!

This past weekend, the J girls, the Mom, Minnie, and me (Twinkle) took a trip to the sunny state of California. A friend was hosting an open house for her business and the Mom invited Mrs. J to come. 

We girls came along for the beach and the strawberries. Yes, you read that right. Strawberries. We all got a tan (or a burn), watched movies (like Pride and Prejudice), had GREAT conversations (on the beach, of course), shivvvvvvvvered underneath the towwwwwelll (yes, it was that cold), and ate some delish food (except the burritos, right, Van? :)) 

Mrs. J convinced us to make a quick pit-stop to get some California strawberries. No, we were not brave enough to pick them ourselves, but we did buy a flat (which is about 12 containers). Yes, we ate nearly all of them.

Huge. Juicy. Delicious. And pure nectar. Need I say more? 

Boogie-boarding. That water was FREEZING. At one point (actually, many points) my fingers were so cold that they were burning. Then, they turned into ice cubes. And that was no fun.

Mom and Mrs. J attended the open house in style!

Aunt Janet, the Mom, and Reeree. :)

Our last night, we ate at a Mexican restaurant. Yuuuuummmmmyyyyyy goodness! (This picture was taken after a day at the beach--notice the red cheeks!) 

Little Women - revisited

Here is a youtube video with highlights from Twinkle's participation in the Command Performers' version of Little Women..

Lots of exciting things

First, I finished math. (high-fives all around). As many of you know, this year's math has been a...trouble. I now declare that I am finished. (more high-fives).

And, today, I went to sign up for classes at the community college (freak out!). Crazy. As of this fall, I am a "Concurrent Student". Very official. Very unique. Very special. You get the point.

Thus ends my announcements.

Thank you.
