Salad at a great price

On Friday I was using a slicer to slice up some carrots for a salad. It was one of those slicers that works like a cheese grater, but you can change out the blades to grate, slice, etc. Anyway, as I was slicing, my hand slipped. I cut the tip of my right thumb. Boy, did it hurt! I had to wear butterfly band-aids on it until today. It is still a little tender, and it is quite inconvenient not being able to use my thumb! :)

So here is a tip for salad makers: Be very, very careful with slicers!!!!!! :)

Jumpaline!

Today we went to Wal- Mart and purchased a trampoline. We used to have one but we sold it a long time ago. Joshua (14) and Caleb (13) spent the afternoon setting it up. The trampoline part was not that hard to set up, the cage we bought to go with it was the hard part. The younger ones were very anxious to get on the 'jumpaline' as Jacob(5) and Samuel(2) call it! They had a great time playing on it when it was done. Samuel was a little intimidated at first, and only wanted to jump when everyone else was still. He would say "It's my turn." when he wanted to jump. He was sooooo cute! I will post some pictures of them on the trampoline later.

I PASSED!!!!

Today Mom, Bethany and I went to get my permit and Bethany's liscence. We drove up to the place to get the driving tests done. First I needed to fill out some paperwork, then I took a vision test. I also had to get my picture taken, scan my finger prints into the computer, and scan my autograph into the computer. Then I took the permit test. I was literally shaking while I took the test, but I passed! WHEW!

The other picture is when we went to the Children's Muesum in Seminole. They have all kind of different setups like a Doctor's office, a grocery store, and lots more. This picture was taken in the Courtroom. Do I look innocent? :)

Reading Test

In order to get my Driving Permit, I had to take a reading proficiency test. So this morning Mom and I went to a highschool to get it done. I was quite nervous before leaving. When we got there the principal got me setup to take the test. I had a booklet with the questions and a sheet to answer the questions with. Half the questions were vocabulary questions and the other half was reading comprehension. It took awile to finish the test, as there were about 80 questions total. After I finished the principal checked it and................................................... I PASSED! Whew! :)

I plan on getting my permit on the 26th. That's when I'll be 16. In Oklahoma, you don't have to take a Driver's Ed course to get your permit if you wait till you're 16. Then after you have had your permit at least 6 months you can get your liscence. I don't think I'll be ready that soon, though!:)

Faster than a speeding bullet...

Today I was playing with Samuel and I dressed him up as a super hero. We call him 'Super Sam'. He ran about the house in the costume with me running behind him holding up his cape (So he wouldn't trip). He is just the cutest little boy.(one of the cutest, My 4yr old brother Jacob is the cutest too:)

The other picture is when my 13yr old brother, Caleb, dressed him up another time.
