Lightsabers

 For Christmas I made Abby, Daniel, Tim, Ben and Joanna light sabers.  There not flimsy plastic ones either.  I used 2' of 3/4" thick PVC piping with 2 layers of installation wrapped with duck tape and then used colored duck tape, regular duck tape and electric tape to make them look like light sabers.

My book review

Just last night I finished book called The False Princess by Elisi (A-lish) O'Neal.  Its about a girl who thought she was a princess, only to find that she isn't the real princess.  The real princess was taken to a convent to keep her safe from murder.  Right before the princess was born the King and Queen went to the oracle of the nameless god.  The prophecy they are told is that the princess will die around her 16 birthday.  And so the King and Queen switch her secretly for another baby at birth.  But a distant relative of the King and Queen is after the throne and puts her daughter in place of the real princess.  Its end is awesome.  If you want to find out why its awesome read it.  You'll love it.

School

I' m home schooled (Yes, love it) and I do lots of different types of school work, but the one thing I always do is math. My Mom found a cool math site (Khan Academy) that I go on everyday. Its mostly about math - they cover arithmetic, Pre-algebra, Algebra and Trigonometry. But they have videos on a ton of other things - Math (of course), Art, Brain teasers, Money/banking, Science, Test prep (preparing you for tests), History and talks'n interviews. The best thing - Its free! So you can get help with your schooling and not have to pay anything.
I also journal. Well, gotta go do my math instead of post on here, Bye.

Family life

So at the moment we have my four cousins staying with us, not sure how long they'll be here. Four kids added on to a family of eight kids and two adults = full house, attitudes and (at times) fun/war. Its interesting living in a house of 14 peeps. Not much breathing room (figure of speaking). We have to redo chores, fun time, punishments, etc. Just a thought does anyone (personally - not the Duggards) know any families that size or close? I know a family of 12.
Pray for my other cousin as well - he has two types of cancer and the doctors say he has about 2 months left on earth. His father - my uncle - lost his wife to cancer two years after my cousin was born, so pray for him to get through this tough time.
