Tomorrow is..........DECEMBER!!! I am soooooooooooooo excited and happy about what this last month of the year will bring! Presents, parties, 3 weeks off and sleeping in! Oh I am so happy. This weekend I have lots planned. Every weekend I try and make a list of fun things to do on my own time. This week I have a lot planned. I plan to, paint my nails/toes and remove the chipped nail polish on them, organize my room and backpack, go through clothes and pick out unwanted things, go shopping, go to the movies, by Christmas presents, and make Christmas list! I (sadly) also have some homework, but if I get that done today and before everything else, I'll have at least 30 hours of my own time!
     How about I check one of those things off the list right now? The Christmas list! This year I want a iPhone 5, some J Crew clothing, some new jewelry, and a new iHome speaker! I really hope I get the phone though, it would be my first phone and I have worked hard for it! Even if it is my only Christmas present, I'd take it! Joy to the Katie... the phone has come! Ooh I'd be so excited and I'd take really good care of it and not stay on it 24/7. I'd let my siblings play on it and keep it nice and not spend hours texting or on Instagram! 
     I hope everyone's Decembers are great and joyful! Hopefully everyone has a happy Christmas break and an even better Christmas day!  Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!
 
      Happy Friday everyone! I hope you enjoy your Friday and Thanksgiving Break! It's kind of weird to think that we are already at Thanksgiving! I am excited though, because I have so many things to be grateful for!
     One things I am grateful for would be freedom. I mean, imagine, what the United States of America would be like without freedom and rights. I can't imagine! I love my family, church, and am able to enjoy those things all becauswe of freedom. Antoher things i am grateful for, is my family. I love my family and all my friends and thank them for all they have done for me. One last thing I am thankful for is my house and its A.C and heater and all my house holds and supplies for. A long time ago, people didn't have those things and had to survive on food being cooked over a fire. Now, we have stoves, microwaves, ovens, fridges and much more. 
    A lot of the times, we get jealous because someone has something we don't have... I do that all the time! Just... we need to realize that we are so lucky to have what we have and be proud of who we are! So happy Thanksgiving, and if you get the chance, take some time to think about what you are grateful for and what you have.
 
    One of my aboslutly favorite months is November. There is not a lot to do, the weathe ris nice, and outside it is so colorful.  November used to be one of those months I hated. Now that I've grown, I find it beautiful and nice. One thing tht is noce about November for my family is it's my brother's 7th birthday! We are all so proud of the sweet boy he is and how special and talented he is as well. Another thing about November I really enjoy is knowing Christmas is one month away! It's so exciting! It's also fun to know that Thanksgiving is on its way! One last thing that I enjoy about November is the colorful surroundings outside. I love the leaves and the rain. It's always super fun for my family and I to see that it is raining or its nice outside! 
     Thanksgiving we all know is a time to give thanks to loved ones or to realized how lucky we are. One thing I deeply and thankful for is the oppurtunity to be free. We don't realize this but there are so many countries out there in need of help. They don't have what we have, especially a free country. I am lucky to live in America with my family, and I try and realize that a lot! 
 
     First of all, happy friday!!! Isn't it great to know the weekend is in our fingers!? We get to sleep in, relax, play, no homework. Sometimes that is how we wish it always was... well, not me. This weekend, I don't even have time to breathe. First of all, I made a "Must Do" list. Even thought the list is just for fun, I am deterrmined to get it done. I've never had a list like the one I made, and if I have, I haven't completed it. So I am really determined to check off everything ont hat list! I hve a few things on the list I can recall, like painting my nails, organizing my money, shopping online, work on my book, and make monster book marks. Even though I have a lot more on the list I still have things not on the list. I still have things I need to get finished. One, I have to clean my room. It's a mess! Second, I have a birthday party, and third, I have to babysit some kids.
     You might think I'll have some times to relax...well I don't! Plus, the birthday party goes 'till 11:00pm. That's not super duper late but still on a weekend where you wake up at 5:45 every weekday (except Thursdays,) you just want some peace and quiet and a comfy mattress. I'm just hoping I can be one quick bunny and hop through it all! And have a little time to breathe.
