It is finally May!

Today, with the help of some of our friends. we took everything out of our playhouse and cleaned it. We swept all the dust out, and cleaned all the wooden furniture. We have a (wooden) stove, fridge, table, and counter in our playhouse, all the color yellow, except the table, which is white. Our webspace from TELUS is coming along quite great. Stop by and check it out, (link to the right). I( have no school tomorrow, (AKA Monday). Our playhouse almost looks brand-new.

Did anyone see Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, 2 Hour Special, Dolan Family. We watched it tonight, and that was a very extreme makeover. The father had been shot in a store where where he worked. The shooter shot two other people, who died, and he shot himself. The father was shot in the head, and did not die. Instead, he lost his sight in both eyes. He had to stay in the hosptial for a few months.

The house went up rather quickly. Go to www.ABC.com, keyword="home makeover", to see photos and more. On Monday at 8 PST, there will be an episode of EMHE: How’d They Do That? It is a behind the scenes show, on extras in the house, you didn’t see on the Sunday show. I hope you all tune in and watch.

I hace to do a writing assignment, and it is due Tuesday. The topic is, "If I Were a Fairy Tale Character, I Would be…" I chose Jack, from Jack and the Beanstalk,, because he was rich.

Monday is no school for us. We have all dayto play, and clean the playhouse somemore. It’s getting dusty already.

We are planning to go camping in May sonetime. We will go camping during the May long weeked, which is the 20-23. We usually go camping at Beatton Park. I enjy riding my bike around and around the loop.

Tests

Hello Everyone,

I have a number of tests coming up. In band, I was suppossed to have a playing test on Skaura, but that never happened. We have a final concert on Thursday, May 5th, at NPSS. In school, I have a math test on the 27th, and a currect events and spelling test on the 29th. I hope to do well.

I was listening to Moose Fm at about 9 pm today, and I heard a broadcast from Vancouver. It was weird to hear a program from Vancouver, called SprotsTalk.

I have really been working on the web-site at www3.telus.net/public/dms88/ we have but colors on all the pages. We also have a few photos of our fence project coming soon.
