My Week Schedule, a Movie and a Book

Hey guys! Like my crazy frog? He's actually supposed to dance, but oh well.

Not much is cookin' over here... Saturday night we went to the beach and it was absolutely beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better night. You can go to my mom's blog HERE and look at some pictures that she took! Saturday afternoon and morning were pretty quiet. We shaved Lucy and gave her a bath. She was thrilled, as you can imagine. ;) Sunday, Mom and I went shopping and Aly and Daddy went to go see a horse show of some sorts, but they canceled it because of Ike supposedly coming after Florida. So, instead, they went to watch people practice on their horses! They also walked some nature trails that were across the street in a park.

Monday we had Martial Arts which was so much fun! I have really missed it a lot over the summer. :) But poor Aly got sick so... not much fun for her. :( Tuesday, again, not much happened. I didn't volunteer because my back was really hurting me (it's better now) and I had schoolwork to do (which I got done, in case you were wondering). And Wednesday, today, was Martial Arts again! Tomorrow nothing is supposed to happen as far as I know. Friday we have a homeschool-support group park meeting. And Saturday I'm going to our homeschool-support group's pizza party for the teens. Sunday, I'm going to a Carnival sort-of thing. And that's my week! Exciting, no? ;]





To completely change the subject, my friend, NHS (don't ask why I'm calling her that, because you probably really don't want to know and it would take me a while to explain everything), gave me a movie to watch called The Princess Bride. Anyone seen it? Some people from Martial Arts have seen it and they claimed it was really good, too. But they're kind of crazy (not literally). So, who knows? I guess I'll just have to watch it!





So, now, I have decided to talk about one of my absolute favorite books of all time, Maximum Ride. Really, really good book, I highly recommend reading it. Basically, it's about a group of kids: Maximum Ride (or Max, as she's often called; 14 years old, the leader), Fang (14 years old also he's the quiet one out of the group), Iggy (14 too; he's blind though, so that separates him from everyone in the flock), Nudge (11 years old; the one who loves talking fast and for a long time and is also the one I'm most compared to), Gazzy (8 years old; take a guess why he's called that!), Angel (6; her personality and description of how she looks is so much like Aly, it's crazy), and Total (Angel's talking dog who is extremely funny and his description is something like Lucy). When they were still in their mothers, 2% avian (or bird) DNA was put into them, so they have wings, super light and strong bird bones, and other bird-like qualities. The book follows them around on their 'save the world' mission. Maybe my review made the book sound really stupid and weird - I don't know. But, trust me, every single person that I have recommended this book to liked it. So there you go. Read it.

Here's the Max Ride website, if you want it: WEBSITE!


That's about it for now. Have fun doing what you're doing and stay safe. Peace everyone!
