Like Lauren, i did not see all of these snow days coming! And it looks like tomorrow is another one :/ I do like sleeping in and having all day to do with what we like, but despite having grand intentions, we haven't done too much. We did go sledding at Columbia hill on Tuesday, but the subsequent days have been too cold. Both Lily and George shoveled snow on Tuesday. They got the whole driveway and walkway done! But on Wednesday (yesterday), they came in all red-cheeked and could only do half of what they did Tuesday. I think Lily's eyeballs and mouth were frozen because when I asked her if she was finished outside, she just stared at me and couldn't answer. I never knew you could get hypothermia in your face!

When I'm not breaking up fights between Lily and George, I enjoy reading, also. I just bought The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion at Half Price Books - one of our favorite places on earth. It's the sequel to The Rosie Project and my book club book for next month. I'm also reading Choose Your Own Autobiography by Neil Patrick Harris for my OTHER book club. Lily and I are in a mother/daughter book club, too, that meets in the summer and on Christmas break. She's already read Through the Looking Glass for June and I haven't yet, but I have some time before we'll meet and discuss that. Sometimes I think I'm in too many book clubs, but it keeps me reading and also exploring books I might not normally have chosen for myself. As for writing, I am in a Monday Morning Writing Group that meets every week at Joseph Beth Booksellers. It inspires me to write in order to have something ready for everyone to read. We critique each other's pieces and it makes us better writers. I've decided to write an autobiography. Yikes! Wish me luck...

Thank you for including parents on this, Mrs. Mueller! I really enjoy reading everybody's posts on kidblog when I have a few extra minutes. I feel like it has helped me get to know Lily's classmates better. You really have a varied and talented group of kids!

Mrs. Mueller! The thing i regret about all of these

snow days is not having Lang. Arts!!! So, I have

been reading a lot. I finally read I Totally Funniest,

which is the 3rd I Funny book, which by the way is

one of my favorite book series in the world, and it

was AWESOME!!! I also read Dear Dumb Diary:

Am I The Princess or The Frog? To be honest it was

kind of dumb, but it was really funny. I am STILL

working on Harry Potter #3!! I have it as an e-book

on my kindle, and today i got it in paperback

at Half Price Books. While I was there I got the

graphic novel version of The Sea of Monsters,

#2 in Percy Jackson, Which IS MY FAVORITE SERIES IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So

you can tell I was pretty excited to get that..... I also

read City of Light, City of Dark by Avi. It is a graphic

novel, and was very intense. Not in a bad way, though.

Anyways, I am excited to come back to Language

Arts!!!!!!!

I was so happy when we got all these snow days! With all the time, me and my siblings played the Mario Kart that my sister got for her birthday. It's really fun! Also, I finished reading the second book in the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire. And I immediately started Mockingjay. Plus, over the weekend, my family bought a two-day movie rental of The Book of Life in honor of my sister's birthday. We loved it so much, we bought the movie today! Now we can watch it whenever we want! Oh, and I almost forgot, I've been writing chapters on Kidblog of my book Chasing Moonlight. I think you all would like it! You should check it out! So obviously, I had a pretty cool time off from school, but of course, I miss coming to Language Arts class! Even so, this was a well needed break!

# data[].attributes.body
Over these many days off of school (woot-woot!)

I have only played in the snow once, but today I

went to see a movie with my grandma and my

sisters. We saw Paddington and I really liked it!

I also got a new ipad mini case which is a really

cute pink pig!!!!!! I LOVE it!!! I have finally made

myself read Wonder (I never got around to it before)

and I love it so far! I am currently in Jack Will's point

of view. I honestly have loved having all this time off

school (with no homework) and truthfully don't want

to have it tomorrow. It's like I'm trying to get a longest

streak off of school! All in all, I'm lovin' this long

weekend and I really really really really REALLY don't

want it to end!!! ;D

(I also really want to keep reading Rump soooooooo

soooooooooooo soooooooooooo badly!!! :( WHY do

I have to wait!?)

I am one of those people who will enjoy a day off , but I don't know about a seven day break. It has been WAY too long. It's pretty much like spring break, but it's cold. I've actually been more productive then I usually am on day's off I've been reading a lot (almost done with the Book Thief and I've ordered Champion the third book in the legend Trilogy.), I attempted to bake cookies (When I say attempted it's because my cookies literally "melted" and almost caught our oven on fire. I've learned that baking powder is not the same thing as baking soda and it's important to use the correct amount of butter. Let this be a lesson), also I have been writing a few drafts for the March Slice-of-Life challenge were we have to right everyday since I always have a ton of things going on I thought it might be smart to do them a head of time so I can post one each day and not have to worry about writing them. I have been super bored though because their isn't a lot to do because it's so cold! I have been playing with my dog though and watching old movies. Hope that everyone had a great 7 day weekend.

Over Winter break 2.0 I've been reading

the book Danny the Champion of the

World. It's by my favorite author Roald Dahl.

Aside from reading I have had friends

over and earlier today went to a friends

house. I have also been gaming a lot.

I recently started reading a book called Nightmares by Jason Segel and Kirsten ?????. It's about a boy named Charlie Laird who lives in a purple mansion with his brother, stepmom, and dad. It's a really good bo

For this wonderful 7 day weekend I have mostly stayed at home. But on

Monday me and my friend went around shoveling peoples driveways. We

made $65! It was a lot a fun!

I'm tired of the snow! I was NOT excited for another snowday...

I get so bored! But, that just means more reading time, which

I was totally okay with. I recently started reading Prodigy, the

second book in the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu. I wanted to read it

so badly after I finished Legend, which I was required to read for

our dystopian-literature-themed-literacy-contract. Reading Prodigy

was not a requirement, but I wanted to because the first book was

so good! It was full of action and packed with suspense... it even had

a little romance! After a lot of reading, I crawled into the warmth of my

bed and watched Netflix for and unpleasant amount of time. I say

unpleasant because I wasn't proud of how much time I spent cooped up

inside. After that, I went outside to play with my neighbor. We played snow volleyball- it's just like sand volleyball, except in the snow. Then we decided it was too cold and went inside and made cookies. That's basically been my pattern everyday, except I didn't bake cookies everyday, and Sunday night I was sick with a stomach bug. Call me crazy, but I bet I'm not the only one who

would be happy with going back to school!

# data[].attributes.body
I recently started the Lunar Chronicles series, and I am reading the book Cinder and I really enjoy it! I would recomend this book for anyone who loves science fiction and Dystopias. Have a great snow day! - Ellie

# data[].attributes.body
Hey everybody! I hope that you are all reading and writing during these cold inclementary days!

I haven't done much this weekend because of snow. Well, I've shoveled snow a lot. There are these two humongous piles of snow that are taller than I am! I worked on a Slice of Life that will be posted soon. I also started 're-reading Forge and Half a Chance. I recommend both of these books. I hope I can pick up some more books to read at school if we have it tomorrow. I hope everybody is enjoying their seven-day weekend! :D -Katie

# data[].attributes.body
It's like a second winter break! I have been reading

a book called THE HIDDEN GIRL. It's a Holocaust story.

It's pretty good but not as good as NUMBER THE

STARS.

Two days ago I played outside and tried to build an igloo

with my sister, Lily. We got tired of it and flopped onto

the igloo, destroying it.

# data[].attributes.body
I did a couple things over the break but one of the best was..... Sleep. Normally I Down sleep much because I freak out about homework, but I could sleep in peace with no homework.! The book I am still currently reading  is one I downloaded onto my tablet. It is called Turned by Morgan Rice. I also tried to read a book called Moby Dick. But about 30 pages in to it I realized it was not about a giant white whale and gave up. Sorry Mrs.Mueller! I also play Crossy Road. If have played the game you know what I am Talking about. Well anyway I unlocked unihorse and the three makers of the game. So yeah that was fun. I cant wait to see all of you at school, but I also don't want to go to school because I am enjoying my break. I step dad is supposed to teach me how to play guitar hero so ya I will tell you how that will end. Anyway Happy reading everyone. Ps. I have spent many hours on my tablet

Hi! I'm tired of not having any school. I am so ready for spring. However, I had fun when I went sledding down the hill at Columbia for the first time on Tuesday. We have 2 sleds, and whenever one of us rode the red sled, it would turn around 1/2 way down the hill and we had to sled backwards. Our other sled cracked. It was made of really thin plastic. Yesterday, Katie finally got the jaw/mouth expander she needed. She just started complaining about it a while ago. I've also been playing a lot of Sims Freeplay on my tablet. Does anyone else play Sims?

I got to go to Perfect North yesterday.

I almost fell of the skis, but it was still

pretty fun. The only other thing I did

was read, I got finished The Matteo

Alacran series (House of the Scorpion,

The Lord of Opium)

This break I haven't been able to really do anything other than sit on the couch because I broke my leg. Obiously I've had a lot of time to read and I've read eight books. Here they are. The Zodiac Legacy, Artemis Fowl, The Extraordinary adventures of an ordinary boy, how to survive middle school and monster bots, Attack of The Growling eyeballs, Perfect game, Falcon Quinn #1, and falcon Quinn #2

I enjoyed them all and can't wait to start another

I got to go sledding with my friend Noah at his house after playing video games for awhile. All I have really been doing is plain video games not reading, I feel evil not reading.

I just finished the fourth Harry

Potter book. It was AMAZING.

I can't wait to start the next one.

I hope I can get it at school ( If we

have it.) tomorrow! I also finished

a book called Killer Pizza The Slice.

It is the sequel to the book Killer

Pizza. It was really good. I got three

new books for Valentines Day and

I will hopefully start them soon.

Right now though all I want to read

is the fifth Harry Potter book.

I hope everyone is having a great

7 day weekday.

Over the weekend my family and I went to

Kentucky. While I was there I finished the

4th Harry Potter book. When we got back I

started The Wonderful Wizard of Oz . I

like it so far. I went sledding with my friends.

In Kentucky we didn't see any horses, ( I wanted

to) but we did see a lot of horse statues. We

went to see the 3rd Night At The Muesum. I

wanted to go back to school today so we can

work on our book trailers some more. I can't

believe we missed a whole week of school!

I've played outside 3 days in a row. I've written a chapter or 2 of my book "The Egyptian Princess and I've stayed up really late for a few nights.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't believe we have a seven day weekend. I just started Rules by Cynthia Lord. Over this long long weekend I played outside with me two little brothers. I stayed out there for about 10 to 15 minutes because it is way to cold for but my brothers stayed out. I hope every one had a wonderful Valentines day. I had 2 basketball games. I had one in Lebanon at 9:30 in the morning. Sadly we lost. I had another basketball game at Columbia at 6:00 at night. The one at Columbia was pretty awesome. We went into double over time. We started with 8 players and then 2 had to go to a soccer game. So that left us with 6 and 1 player fouled out so then we only had 5 players. Sadly we lost again. But on the bright side we had another game on Saturday at the Mason Community Center and we won that game. That is kinda a brief summery of my long weekend.

I did not see all of these snow days coming🌁!! I am going to start reading Reached by Ally Condie today. It is the third and final book in the Matched trilogy. I have not played in the snow at all. I am not a big playing in the snow kind of girl:) But the weird thing is I love to sled but that is about it when it comes to snow. I hope everyone enjoys their 7 (seven!!) Day weekend!😊

I finished a young adult novel called

All the Bright Places by Jandy Nelson.

It's definitely for high schoolers and is very

sad.  I also finished Lynda Mullaly Hunt's new

middle grade novel, Fish in a Tree.  It reminded

me of Absolutely Almost by Lisa Graff (who's going

to be at the Dublin Lit Conference that I'm attending

and presenting at on Sat.).  It was about a girl who has

dyslexia and struggles in school.  She has an amazing

teacher, Mr. Daniel, who recognized her difficulties and helps

her read.  The theme of the story is that we all learn differently,

and the key is to find what works for each one of us - we can

all be successful and learn.  One of the chapters is called

"Great Minds Don't Think Alike."

I'm starting How I Discovered

Poetry - a novel in verse memoir - by Marilyn Nelson next.

I've also been blogging on my own blog a lot.
