Shark Dissection and Politics

My boys went with their dad the other day to dissect a dog shark, and they had fun with the other kids in their co-op.  While dad did this, I took my two little boys to the lake to catch butterflies and dragonflies.  We also found some mint leaves, and nibbled on them as we watched the planes take off.  It was a fun day.

I am a delegate for my political party, and am finding out alot about politics.  I am beginnng to think it resembles dissecing a shark.  I am trying to find out (before I vote tomorrow) who is slinging mud, and who is telling the truth.  I am dissecting a shark in a way!  LOL

So, this is what I am doing.  As soon as this is over, I intend to concentrate on getting my book published.

How is everyone else?

I'm not dead.Just a little busy with school,riding,pathfinders,babysitting.....

Longest entrie ever!

Hey every one!Its ROBYN! No,I'm not dead, don't worry!I've been soooo busy with school and riding and pathfinders (In canada instead or girl scouts we have girl guides and in girl guides there are sparks, brownies,guides,pathfinders,rangers,etc.Each ones for different age groups and they are in the order I put them) and friends and...well yeah, you get the point!So I will tell you a bit about what happend while I was gone.Ok so lets see I'll star with my lessons.Since I last posted I have been off the lunge line and honey/Sparky spooked a few times.Thats about it with the lessons cause I had to miss the last two because of my pathfinder camps.I made ukranian easter eggs with Jenna.They were really hard!You have to put a small hole in the top of an egg and a bigger one in the bottom.Then you need to blow the egg yoke and stuff out of the egg,rinse it and make a pattern.We drew our patterns on our eggs and decide what colour would be what etc.Then if you want part of your egg to be white you dip a pin into hot wax and cover that part of the egg with it.Then you dip it in yellow and cover the parts you want to stay yellow in wax then you go to orange then, green, then turqoise, then blue then purple,and finally black and you cover all the parts you want to stay that colour along the way.You do the colour from lightest to darkest.Her is the ingrediants for the dye.

3/4 cup of warm water

1 tablespoon of vinager

1/4 teaspoon of food colouring.

You need to leave your egg in for 15 minutes for a dark shade or your colour.So It took us like 3 hours to do our eggs and when they were done, they wern't as nice as we thought they'd be....so yeah!Then I went to our pathfinder winter camp.It was a cold and rainy day!So we set up our tents...in the rain and yeah.After that we went into our tent. we just talked.Then we made grilled cheese for lunch.We went for a hike and met the leader of a group of cubs (boy scouts around 8 or 9) that were staying there.There leader challenged us to a game called cans,but we used bottles.SO what you have to do is they're are two teams.Each team gets a side or the feild/gym.One each side they're is a box of bottle/cans and a jail.You have to gaurd your bottle.If people from the oppisite team come to your side they will try to steal your bottle.Your need to try to catch them, and take them to the jail.If you just tell them to go to jail they will get away.You alo need to get there bottles.Same rules go for the oppistie them they need to get you to there jail before you can steal there bottles.Its really fun.The game end when the person gets all the bottles or when you get fed up of playing!I couldn't belive how funny these kids were!They came up to us and said "were gonna murdur you!" OR "wE ARE SO GONNA KILL YOU!" and other stuff.I'm like "these kids are 8!" in the end we won.They invited us to there camp fire so we went and sang songs and did skits.It was fun.After we had supper and played some games and had our own camp fire.Its was a really fun camp.Then I went to my auntie Sarah's house.We got our nails done and made more ukranian eggs.They were easy-er cause my aunt does them differently.You don't take the yolk out of the egg it dries up (doesn't smell!) and she had special tools to use and every thin so It was more enjoyable.They just this weekend my pathfinder group went to niagra falls. We stayed in a hotel! We went behind the falls and we saw a movie and we went to ripley's 4D movie adventure and we went to an awsome bire aviary (that was soooo sweet!) and we also went to a butterfly conservitory.Its was soooooo fun!Today I made a story for school and I had to write the viwes of a pencil, so here it is!

I AM A PENCIL

Hello.My name is penny.I'm not a human, I'm a staedtler 9705 0.mm pencil.I have a beautiful silver pen clip and a eraser cover. I have shiney green crome and a black hand grip.I'm a rather attractive pencil at that! ARRRGGGHHHH! Robyn's using ME to write with today. I personally hate writing because it hurts when people grip me and it wears down my beautiful led. I also hate when people  write all messy.It gives me a bad reputation!Also sometimes people throw me, snap me , use my eraser, and break my led!Its unbelivible!The life of a pencil sure is hard!

The End
