Today I did more FLL stuff. We went to the local nursing home and took some games along. When we arrived there were already some residents waiting for us. Four people from our group went to the nursing home, one of us (my friend Nicholas) went and played checkers with one of the residents, while the rest of us played sorry with a few other residents. It was really cool how much the residents opened up and started talking! The residents were really getting in to the games. The lady playing checkers with Nicholas had a "less than clean mouth". And one of the ladies playing sorry with us had no fear of cheating! if she did not like the card she drew she would just draw another one!
It was a really fun experience.

Today I smashed walnuts.

Earlier this summer we picked up a bunch of walnuts from our yard and took them to the basement. They sat in our basement for a few months and dried. Than I took a hammer to them and smashed out all of the meat.                              WHAT FUN!!!!!!!

Homeschool Play

Over the last few weeks I have been participating in the homeschool  4th - 9th grade play. The play that was done was "My Fathers Dragon". The play is about a boy named Elmer Elevator who finds an old alley cat out in the rain, they start to talk and get to the topic of flying. Elmer says he would do anything to fly and the cat suggests a way that he could fly when he is still young. The cat used to go exploring and happened upon an island called " Wild Island " a dragon is being held captive there and the cat says that if Elmer were to rescue him the dragon would fly him most any where. So Elmer goes to "Wild Island". He meets a bunch of wild animals but in the end he saves the dragon.

We would pack shoe boxes with toys and toothbrushes and toothpaste and other stuff like that, we then put them in a big Cardboard box, than they are shipped to kids all over the world to all the kids who do not get Christmas gifts. It was a really cool experience.
