The Tomatoes Are Getting Bigger

It's Monday again and I spent my morning getting smarter! I did so much today work today you won't believe it. I kept focused on my goal of going to the pool, playing basketball, and getting to play hockey later. After I finished my work I checked on the garden. The tomatoes are getting bigger and the first zucchini is growing.

It's Been a Great Week

I've had a great week, completing a lot of work, going to the pool, and watching the World Cup matches. I also got to go to Cheesecake Factory last night for dinner because I met my personal goal for the week. Today I am headed to Kennywood because I met another goal by finishing all my learning work each day this week. After Kennywood, I am headed to my mom's for the week. I asked my dad to water the garden for me while I was gone. I'll be back here in seven days.

Today I:

Lots To Do Today

Yesterday afternoon we went to the library to return some books and pick up some new books that were waiting.

I have many things I want to do today so I got up early to do my work. Unfortunately my allergies are bothering me today and I had a very hard time concentrating on my work today. Now that I've gotten all my work done, I am going to go to the pool, then go to the pub a watch the World Cup with my friends, then go to Speech, and then have dinner at Cheesecake Factory!

Before we started our work we found this really cool looking beetle in our kitchen. (then we cleaned up the spilled coffee)

I'm carefully placing the candy sprinkles under the microscope.

Check out the candy sprinkles on my computer screen.

This is a piece of dog food.
You can see the dog food on the computer screen.
Now I'm looking at a purple petal that I picked from the garden a few days ago.
Later it stopped raining so I went to the garden and measure how tall the vegetable plants are growing.
The zucchini plants are 2 feet tall.
The bean vines are 37 inches tall.
The tomato plants are 2 feet 3 inches tall.
