Well, I thought it was about time I posted an update on my life and now seems as good a time as any.(This is Allie)

Caleb’s new favorite movie is Despicable Me, and he goes around quoting it constantly. I caught him talking on a play cell phone, repeating an entire conversation Gru has (the one about cookie robots, where he hangs up in frustration, you know?) and  I actually got him to do it on video.

School is not exactly fun. We are doing a project where we basically choose a “persona” with certain aspects of colonial life to research, then develop that character in a historical fiction piece. We finish our research and then my teacher interrupts the flow by making us do a totally unrelated essay contest. On the third day of writing for this contest (it was a friday), about halfway through the class, she tells us the rough draft of the colonial paper is due monday. I had been told this was coming by my friend who had had the class earlier, but most of us had no warning.  So I had a ton of homework. I had to play in a concert Friday, so I couldn’t do homework then, and I don’t do homework on Sunday. So my entire Saturday was spent writing it. Ugh. I also had to type up the essay contest paper and ended up exceeding the word limit by 200. UGH.

I got new glasses too, but I am more blind than Camryn and so my glasses have not come in yet. I am really worried, because I have no idea what they will look like on me. Without my real glasses on, I have to be about two inches away from the mirror and by then its hard to tell what anything looks like on you. So I hope I picked well.

Well,  I don’t have much left to say. If I think of something, I will post.

Bye!
