Hello everybody! I'm sorry I haven't written.Today we went to gymnastics from 9:00 am-1:00 pm. Then we went to a pool party from 1:00 pm-3:00 pm though me and Elisabeth got there 45 minutes late.The bathrooms there are flooded about half an inch deep and there were dead leaves everywhere. Disgusting!
Then we took showers and James and Daddy went to go get haircuts. Now I'm sitting at Mommy's desk
working on my blog. At the pool party Elisabeth did not go swimming because she did not want to risk changing in the bathroom.At gymnastics today we had really hard conditioning [ the way we get stronger].
It was leg conditioning.Now we are going to learn about Killdeer [a kind of bird].
                                                                Killdeer
Nesting place: Ground
Nest type: Scrape
Favorite food: Insects
                                                                Colors
Back & head:Brown
Forehead, chin & collar: White
Eye ring:Orange
Underparts: White
Legs: Pale

The Killdeer calls out its own name and,as with many other birds, that is how it got its common name to
begin with. Like many other ground-nesting birds, the young are precocial meaning that when they hatch
they are fully feathered. Precocial young leave the nest very soon after hatching and do not return.

    I would have made the same decision as Elisabeth... I don't like to take risks when it comes to dirty bathrooms! I have a question about Killdeer: What does scrape mean when you say they use that kind of nest?

    Miss you!

    A scrape is a kind of nest but I don't know what it looks like.

5 things you probably don't know about me

By
Brothers,  join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk  according to the example you have in us.  For  many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you  even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.   Their end is destruction,  their god is their belly, and  they glory in their shame, with  minds set on earthly things.   But  our citizenship is in heaven, and  from it we  await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,     who will transform  our lowly body  to be like his glorious body,  by the power that enables him even  to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:17-21 Once again, I'm so sorry for not blogging this past week. I was at D-Camp, which is a camp where my church and a bunch of our sister churches have a camp for middle-schoolers and we get to know each other and God more. The Bible verse above was actually the theme for it. Camp was super fun by the...
