Way to Go Jasmin!

A many month project completed all on her own time by her own initiative with no parental input at all.  The only incentive/help she had was through JAM.

Way to go, Jasmin!

Wondering what's next to come from her "pen"...

Aiden's Birthday by Aiden

I wake up and reach out to read my Bible
I come out the the living room and I listen to My Side of the Mountain until Mom woke up
I at cereal for breakfast on my own
And did some morning list things
Mom says, "Happy Birthday"
I do some world puzzle and wait on the couches.
Jasmin wakes up. Soon after Grace gets up.
I do some music practice
Then it is time - I call Imma on Skype
We have a talk a bit first, we see Selah do some tricks.
Then we add NiNi and Yea Yea to the call.
Mom gets the cake ready and Dad fixes Skype so we can see everyone.
Birthday cake "breakfast" on Skype with NiNi and YeaYea and Imma.
Imma had her cake too - apple cake with ice-cream "o)
We had Chocolate cake with a layer of cheesecake in it - yum!
Then I open presents and got:
New Lego, 2 puzzles, 2 foam swords, and the promise of a fixed iPad
After we finished on Skype, I did puzzles with Grace, and some Lego building all together
Then lunch time and Mom and the girls had to go out.



Jasmin had a tooth pulled out, and then a trial violin lesson
Grace had a trial voice lesson
While they were gone,
I waited
I worked on the puzzles
Played with Lego
I waited
Had a sword fight with dad
I waited

And then - the beach!
Dad and I took the water in the bike basket
When we got to the beach and helped Grace and Jasmin collect firework
I went down and dug a little hole
Collected things with Grace
We all were digging the hole  and we asked Dad to be the fence to stop the water
When Mom came, she and Dad went for a cool down swim
We kept digging and playing and swimming
We had to work hard because the water kept making our hole fall in.
Mom called us to eat supper
It was meat bombs, hot dogs, and s'mores, marshmallows... yum!
By the time we finished supper, our hole was all gone! The waves had washed it all away.
So we began again, making it a game.
We made it so deep we were getting water coming up from inside.
By that time it was getting dark.
Mom had to make us come home even though we wanted to finish
We got home after 9pm, and had to take a shower to get rid of all the sand.
I was so tired but happy.
When Mom put me to bed she said I still had sand in my hair.
What a good birthday day it was!
