More Recent Happenings of My Little Awesome Life!

Hey everyone! Allot has started going on this week. I suppose I must start on the bad news. 

I decided to write an amazing story with my fake Kindergarten writing skills for comedy reasons.

The Story About The Bad News In My Week

Once upon a time, a young girl and her family went to tractors supply and bought a bunch of chicks. The young girls name was Mae and she took a liking to a certain little chick. Now this little chick was golden, and so Mae named her Curry. Curry grew up fast as a toddler chick, and eventually grew into teenage chickenhood. Now based on the chicken stereotypes, Curry, being a teenager, was supposed to ignore her mother, and become grouchy. And that was exactly what happened. Now Curry's mother Mae, is in deep deep deep despair, and is desperately longing for the baby chick Curry once was. 

I cry every time I read this story because it is SO relate-able. May Curry's sweet child soul rest in piece, an may her evil teenage soul grow kind again. 

Now for the......

The HAPPY, GLORIOUS, JAZZLE-BEDAZZLED NEWS!

First of all... Today was my performance! I din't mess up one bit, and everyone seemed to enjoy it allot! I miss everyone so much, and I hope I will see them again soon! 

Also, I have an Audition Sunday (eeeeeek) for Anne of Green Gables the Musical! It is very unlikely I will receive a part since they are only accepting 8 parts for girls, but it's worth a shot! There is no harm in trying!! I'm nervous about my singing though.. I was thinking about posting a video of me playing the guitar and singing on here, but I don't know. Comment if I should or not!

Well that's all for now! Lots of love, and may all of your weeks be merry!

Chirping Babies!

Hello everyone!! My family has been very excited, because.... OUR CHICKS HAVE BEEN HATCHING!!!

This is the incubator my dad built from an old cooler! He did such a wonderful job, and it worked perfectly!!

It all started Tuesday morning, when we noticed small pips on the eggs. My mom picked one up to examine it and we heard chirping in the egg!! Over the course of the day we came down to our basement where the incubator is very often to check, and the holes in the eggs began growing bigger and bigger! 

Then the small baby chick, stretched out his legs, and popped the end of the egg off! It was very interesting, and exciting to watch! We then watched five more chicks hatch! Only one egg didn't hatch. 

OF COURSE the egg I named bacon, (It's a long story) was the only egg that didn't hatch. Just my luck i suppose.. But the rest are happy and very healthy!

We watched the chicks take there first step, eat for the first time, and drink there water. I will always remember this experience! 

The chicks are adorable and I hope they will grow up to be very healthy!

The proud mom and dad!

Do you guys have animals?!  Have you ever watched a chicken hatch?!

Current Happenings In my Exiting week!

This week so far has been super exciting!! First of all it's been snowing a TON! Today it was especially beautiful! All the trees and branches were traced out with the white snow.

It's been beautiful and we got the morning off in school! (Lucky Public schoolers got the whole day off)

I'm more of a warm weather person. Tea makes me HAPPY!

Another SUPER DUPER exciting thing that happened this week..... We got CHICKS!! Oh my goodness they are so cute! I sometimes put food in the palm of my hand and they will eat out of my hand and some of them sit in my hand and peck at my arm. It tickles!

Sorry for the bad quality, the heat lamp made the pictures red!

 This is my sister holding her favorite chick! We want our chicks to be used to people so that we can pick them up easily to check them out! So that means we can have plenty of fun with the chicks!

I have a performance this evening. I hope it isn't cancelled but it is snowy outside so it might. It will give me a little more time to perfect my lines though!

How has your week been?! Anything Exciting?!
