Fingers Crossed

After Sambo recovered, Princess got the flu. But, nobody's sick to day, and we're thinking we may be done with sickness. Hallelujah.

I Feel Bad For Sambo...

'cause he's been sick since last night. :(
Unfortunately, he's not just queasy, and he can't even keep down water.
He recently told Mom, "It doesn't feel good to throw up."
Sorry this post is kinda scattered, but Get Well Soon Sambo!!

Summer is here...

:) and I am happy :)

The Book of June 4

1. After many days of impatiently waiting in the Academy of Summit, the day was finally here, when I, Jogus, could officially declare Summer.
2. Nevertheless, it was a fun week. There was much partying, excessive rowdiness, the dissection of the frog, and general pleasure and merriment.
3. So anyway, I was excited.
4. And there was much giddiness, possibly fueled by the grade's partaking of donuts.
5. So, we did gather in the classroom, with sugary fried-bread pleasing our stomachs, and many were beholding there yearbooks.
6. And also, there was the viewing of the report cards, which caused much excitement and groans among the pupils.
7. And Miss Curtis did read to us, while many hopeful messages were written with magical permanent sticks.
8. And many asked "Wilt thou sign my yearbook?"
9. After Miss Curtis enlightened us with the Games of Hunger, we were free to merrily frolic among the school, with yearbooks in hand, and Yea, joy was abundant.
10. For many did write very kind and thoughtful things and many numbers of all shapes. If you were anything like me, however, you would write weird and random things which may cause much humiliation in a year or two.
11. After many signatures were collected, everyone did journey into the auditorium where there were many people of all grades.
12. And in this manner did we continue for the space of many minutes. And after Kefif and Dwayne did desire to leave the Academy of Summit, we did heed to the rule that claimed, "Thy may leave the Academy of Summit whenever thy may on the Last Day of School."
13. And so, we did leave The Academy of Summit and headed to the House of Jogus to participate in many things that are meant for summer.
14. And the awesomeness thereof was exceedingly awesome.

Skiing with Grandpa

SPRING BREAK AND SKIING WITH GRANDPA- IS THERE A BETTER COMBO?
Princess, Grandpa, Dad, & I had one-on-one time to go skiing with grandpa. We had a rough first run, however. The line was ridiculously long since two of the main lifts were closed due to power problems. We then decided to try a harder run to kick things off. Princess, Dad, & I had done it before, but today it wasn't groomed. Thursday had brought a lot of new snow, so we were dealing with 3 feet of powder. It was difficult to navigate through the powder, and so falling was common. This wouldn't be too bad, except for we (Princess and I were the ones with problems) almost always lost our skis. By lost, I really mean lost. We had to dig through the powder to find them. The snow was too deep to put the ski back on, so you either had to get help or go without skis. Since I was far from the group, I started to hike down. (Mother Nature was on the floor laughing by now.) The skis kept falling back into the powder. Finally, Dad was able to help me. (Dad rocks.) Somehow, we managed to get onto the groomed runs and make it back to the lift. Luckily, we were all less grumpy seeing the lift line had shrunk considerably. (The power came back.) We then stopped to gorge ourselves at Alf's. The rest of the day was so much fun. We stuck to groomed runs, and had a ball. Grandpa gave me some great tips, and I can honestly say my skiing is a heck of a lot better. We were able to get in about a dozen runs the whole day, all of which were in perfect skiing conditions. Beautiful sunshine, glittering snow, white piled on the pine trees. There was just enough powder to make it fun on groomed runs. This was probably the best spring break skiing ever in the history of spring break skiing. (I would know this because, like most Americans, I have memorized the history of Spring Break skiing.) After the lines got bigger, and we were all perfectly exhausted, we headed home. We were all inflicted with nasty sunburns, but we were to tired to care. Mom made an awesome dinner, and we slept fully and happily ever after. :)
