Glass Blowing

So today we went to Urban Glass in Brooklyn. I've been waiting a long time for this. First I want to say that we did not get to make any glass, BUT it was still amazing to watch! It looked like glowing honey.Our instuctor made a bead, later on we watched two artists making a bowl with a clear glass fish. It took a long long long long long time to make the bowl it was sort of purple and red and with the fish it was a work of art :)

This photo is the small ball of lava.

They have to keep twirling and blowing to keep it's shape. Then they keep reheating and shaping, and blowing. It is about an hour process.

This photo is of the finished bowl with the glass fish melted onto it. We couldn't get a good picture because they had to run off and put it into a 1000 degree oven to cool. THe fire they were working with was 4,700 degrees!!!! While we sat and watched our faces lit up and the fire made our cheeks red, like a sun burn. We wore protective glassses to protect our eyes. This was an amazing experience. I can't wait to make my very own!!!!!!!!!!!

A Fun Day at the Park (^ o ^)

Today my mom, little brother and I went to the park my amici were there.
My friend Melissa was teaching me German at the park, so now I am learning to speak it! She is the BEST German teacher I could ever have!!!!! She gave me homework, which is to memorize some words. I'm confused now, I want to learn German and Mandarin at the same time!! I have to remind my mom to get me a German book from the library. I'd like to go to Chinese school and German School with both of my friends and I like learning new languages. IF my mother teaches me Spanish too, I will know 4 Languages!!!
Our other homeschool friends came and played in the park with us. We always have fun.

Later on Joe (my amicus' husband) taught me how to play baseball (not really I felt like I've done it before) when that was done we were relaxing until I met up with my brother's friend, Jonathan (he's a boy from cub scouts). THEN we had to leave because I have to go to Track'n Field. Mom is feeling sick and I don't really want to go so I think I will tell my dad to take me with him and my brother to Cub Scouts.

Tomorrow we have GLASS BLOWING. OMG!!! I can't wait to make something!!

Well I will write again today or tomorrow. See ya!

Rainy but fun night out...

I went to GirlScouts tonight. We had a pizza party!!! Also, we made Mothers day bags and inside we filled it with Lavender,Vanilla and Winter Berries. When I came home, I surprised my mom with the bag. Of course she loves it!!

We also discussed online safety at our meeting. My Scout leader said she has younger children in her class (she is a teacher) have a Facebook account, I think that young children should not have a Facebook account because Facebook has a rule that children under 13 cannot have an account.They have that rule to keep us kids safe from dangerous people, and from giving information like telling where you live and when you were born.


SO BE SAFE!!!!

I'm extremely excited about our next trip with my scouts, we are going to Ripley's Believe it Or Not. I remember going there with my mom a long time ago, but don't remember much. I can't wait to hang out with the girls. One of the Girl Scouts is one of my homeschooling friends, and I like meeting up with her.

Let's see if anything exciting happens tomorrow, I will post it right away!!!

Goodnight and God Bless <3

Geography + Mythical creatures = HAHAHAHAHAHA

I invented this cool geography game with my brother.

We have to find the location for each creature, and once they are all in their place, each person takes a turn telling each otther to which creature to move and where. It isn't a game about winning we just like to see who knows the most countrys and who can move them fastest. MY MOM STILL NEEDS TO FIX THE DATE ON THE CAMERA!!! MOMMA IT ISN"T 2008!!!!!!!!!!!! You can try this game out it is fun. It's like our Where IN The World is Carmen Sandiego game.

Rainy Sunday

My Track & Field meet was cancelled today because of the rain. Earlier this morning I threw up the McDonald's I ate for lunch yesterday. NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EAT MCDONALD'S!!!!!!!!!! My mom always warns us :(

We watched a bunch of movies today. And I watched one of my favorite shows, Deadliest Catch.

So when I go to College me and my family are planing to move to the Bahamas so I can learn to Surfboard.

So do you believe in mermaids?What talents do you have and where are YOU going when you finish College?

Hi :-)

Hi,this is my first time on here so I'm going to start by telling you about my love for Mythical Creatures.These are just a few... MERMAIDS!!, Banshee(Ireland),Centaur half man half horse(Greece),Elf(Scandinavia),Fairy(Scotland/Scandinavia), Hippogriffs (Greece). There are many more, but these are a few of my favorites.

I want to let you all know that I am part of the Mermaid family. And one day I plan on turning into one (If you do not believe me ask my mom!) :)


My family and I had a fun week. From Latin, to walking the Brooklyn Bridge to swimming, we always have good days. My brother and I spent the night at my Nani's house because my mother had a Mom's Night Out with her other homeschooling "ADULT' friends. I love going to Nani's house because she let's us watch tv and we do what ever we want :) She is a cool Nani.

Next week is going to be really fun too. We are going to do our usual classes and go on two trips 1. Insectarium (in Philadelphia) and 2. Glass blowing. I've wanted to make glass since last year when I watched a documentary on glass blowing.

Well that's all for now, maybe I'll post again tomorow.
