Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! I know it's a bit early, but you never know what you'll be doing on Sunday, so I like to post a bit early sometimes, if I think I need to.
I hope you enjoy Valentine's Day, and writing Valentine cards to your family! I've written all mine, except a couple, which I'll be doing before tomorrow. I can't wait to pass mine out!

Happy Valentine's to you!
Happy Valentine's to you! 
Happy Valentine's everbodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Happy Valentine's to you!

Now, this song can go to any tune you want, as long as you like the tune. It can go to the tune of 'Happy Birthday', too. That's actually the way I sing it.
Well, again, Happy Valentine's Day!

Sleet... and SNOW!!!

We had sleet yesterday! We called it snow. Christie came up yesterday and said to me, "Molly, it's SNOWING!!" I didn't believe her at all. I followed her outside, and there it was, snowing. Christie, my younger brother Sam, and I each got a round sled and played slip'n'slide on the trampoline. Sam called it 'Penguins and Polar Bears'. We made the game by saying you had three lives. Each time you fell, slipped or stepped of your sled, you lost a life. The polar bear was the person who lost all his or her lives. He had to make the somebody else fall off and lose all their lives by bumping their sled with your sled. No shoving or pushing.
Today, it sleeted, and then REALLY snowed! Nothing stuck. Still, we went on the trampoline again and made up another game. It's called 'Astronauts and Martians'. If you fall of your sled, you're the martian. You come up and try to bump the other person off. It's real similar to 'Penguins and Polar Bears' except that you get one life.
Up in Hattisburg, our older brothers had 4 or 5 inches of snow. Joe, the oldest brother at home, said her made a snow-angel and got soaked. His feet were soaked too, from all the snow. Joe and Dan, (Dan is the second oldest at home) had a snowball fight at 2:00 in the morning.
Well, we just hope it snows again! Hopefully it will tomorrow. That's all for now! If anything new comes up, it'll be posted as soon as possible. Which might be tomorrow. Which  might be any day. Who knows?

Doughnuts!!

We made doughnuts today! They didn't turn out quite right, but we lived. They were delicious! Especially dipped in the glaze. We didn't glaze all of them, but we will soon. Christie made them, and I helped a little bit. Christie said she thought it was the yeast and she didn't do something with it quite right, but anyway, we thought they were good. Well, that is, I thought they were good. Don't you like hot doughnuts for breakfast with milk to go along with it? Milk goes very well with it. It goes with cookies real well, too.

I'm still working on getting my posts better than they are. They're kind of hard to do, especially when you don't know what to write. I can show you my poem I made up!


If I were a bird, I'll tell you what I'd do.
 I'd fly around the world with a little coo.
I'd eat my seeds from people's hands,
And fly across all the lands.
I'd sleep on a bed made of twigs,
And eat off branches,a lot of figs.
I'd alight on top of people's fingers,
Then I'd join a group of singers.
I do not know what I'd do next,
Which leaves me a little vexed.

I hope it's all right. I wrote in a story. It's actually my first best poem I've really done. The others are O.K. They're not really good. Well, I'm out of words now, so I'll write later! (I don't know when later is, so don't count on it being too soon.)

We woke up this morning to find a cold cold world! When we jump on the trampoline outside, we just freeze.

This morning Joe and Dan came home for the weekend.. with a box of doughnuts!! They were deliciously (we say were..) They called before they got home, and I handed the phone to Christie. Dan told her that they were on the freeway and should be home in about 45 minutes. Then he yelled at Joe to slow down, and added that with the way Joe drove, they might be there in about 2 minutes. Then they started yelling and Dan hung up the phone; and then they walked in the door.

After that, Joe took me and Christie to the Hymn Festival, where we played a hymn for a judge. We don't know how we did yet, but Ms. Delila will give us the judge's comments on Tuesday, our lesson day. I think I did all right. I played "He Leadeth Me," and Christie played "Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus," and also an arrangement, "Be Thou My Vision."

Well, I hope it turns warm soon!! Post later,

Molly for the both of us

We have ice in our fountain! We had some yesterday on our pool slide, and in our birdbath! It's just kinda hard to believe that we have ice in Louisiana, when it's supposed to be a warm state, though I do wish it would snow. The cheerful thing about it being really really cold here, is that you get to have a hot chocolate, and sit by the fire, and get a blanket and a good book and you read it by the fire.
