Dissection

Of course, for Biology we have to have labs. I did Biology two years ago, and waited to do labs until my younger sister did Biology. She has been doing Biology this year, and we just dissected the earthworm and the crayfish.

Obviously, the crayfish received considerable damage. I've asked my brother to catch me more crayfish, because I would like to do him again. :)

Coconut Custard Pies

Now these are for the enjoyment of food lovers everywhere... Sorry, we ate them all. :)

Ice Storm III

As I told you before, I had trouble uploading all the pictures from the ice storm, but I did like them all, so I am uploading the rest... (however long it takes. :/ )


Mom took us on a little drive to see all the ice covered branches and the tree damage... I was snapping pictures right and left. ^.^

 See the ladder contraption the home owner used to keep the branch up? Pretty smart. :)

Sledding?

A very interesting thing happened last night. We went sledding.



Okay, so it wasn't just that. It was that we 'went sledding' by sitting down in two long, homemade sleds, and were pulled around for around an hour behind a tractor. It was a very fun experience, to say the least, and I was surprised, because I never thought I could do such a thing before. As it is, I learned something new - when you don't have any hills around in sledding weather, get your tractor to pull you around!


So we sat there in those sleds in the dark of the night, and threw snow at each other. That was also the fun part... If you want to have fun, get some people who can have a good snowball fight (or in our case, snow-chunk fight... the snow was either so powdery or so stuck together already that we either had to be careful not to hurt anyone with the big chunks of frozen snow, or we had to just throw armloads of powdered snow. I haven't had a real snowball fight in a while, so that was fun. :) ) and go on a sled-ride around a farm in the dark.


At first it was just my two sisters and a girl-friend, but then two of her brothers came out, too, and sure enough, that was when the snow really started to fly! We piled up the powdered snow in our sleds, and threw it wildly. I don't recall how many times I had to apologize for getting it in someone's face. ^.^


Oh, and did you ever try to hang on to the end of the sled while it's getting pulled around? You should try it. Besides it being quite enjoyable and fun to try to hold out as long as possible (and try to pull yourself back on), you get bootfulls of snow.


It's fun.


Really.

Ice Storm II

The trees... Why? The poor trees.... I could cry - all those trees heavy laden with ice, pulled downward until their spry branches - cracked and maimed for life. How horrible. It was so awesomely beautiful, but so sad!

My snowman was encased in ice.

So were the trees.

And our house.

Oh the trees.... it broke my heart to see them falling over. The encasing ice was so ethereally beautiful but so cruel....

I have more pictures, but I cannot load them all!

Tea Party

 So my friends and my sisters and I had a tea party the other day with our siblings. It was very nice, and I have a few pictures of the tasty edibles. :)

PBJ cut-outs. Cute, but gross.

 

The cupcakes were cute, but not gross.

 

 I'm not sure what those were called... some chocolatey, butterscotchy things. Good.
