March: by the KIDS

AURIANA
I had a choir performance called the BLAST. We did the show four nights in a row and it was really fun. Isaac finally persuaded me to read Harry Potter. I started it a week ago and I’m almost done with the third book.

ISAAC
Enoch had a game day and I helped out and even though Enoch lost at all the games, he had a great time. I went to my friend Cody’s house and played until 8:00. For my birthday I got this really cool iron wood carving from Mexico and it’s really cool. And, my mom gave me a real arrow, and something to put all of my scout achievements in. Someone pushed me down in the hall at school and I got a really big carpet burn on my forehead.

NATALIE
I had two dance recitals for Irish dancing. I took third place in the school spelling bee and got a trophy. I’m excited that soccer is starting. My favorite thing to do is jump on the tramp. Right now I’m reading Junie B Jones.

ENOCH
I started soccer and I had a game night with my friends. We played Spoons and Sorry Sliders. We ate gummy worms and pizza. I turned six and a half.

MIRIAM
I like to play with Natalie’s Minnie Mouse. I like ice cream. My favorite story is three bears, because they shiver and get scared. Tomorrow is my birthday. I’m going to play games!

ELLIE
I play with googles (Natalie’s little pink ball with eyes). I play with toys. I do my greens (chores). I go to the bathroom a lot by myself. I play with my friends. I hit my head right here. I hope that I will have a birthday again and I hope that Santa will bring me presents and blankies. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
