A Fun Day

Hey everyone! Charlotte here! Today I will be talking about a really fun get together I had with one of my bestfriends Marida! I went over to her house at about 2:00PM 'cause my mom had to drive my older brother back to collage and my sister wanted to go too but I din't so I went to her house instead!!  Anyways shortly after I got there we started working on writting a story for school and it took about three hours 'cause we kept having to change the topic but we finally decided on the day that I got to meet Scotty McCreery! For those of you who don't know who that is he is a country music singer who lives in the same town I do! (which is the town of Garner) Anyways after we finally managed to come up with the whole story we did a little more school but after about 45 minutes we went to go get dinner and frozen yogurt! It was my first time ever having frozen yogurt but I really liked it! By the time we finished the yogurt we were VERY full!!! On the way home we started singing to country music songs on the radio!! (so fun) Then when we got back we listend to even more country music!! You can probabley tell that we REALLY like country music!!! Shortly after that my mom came to pick me up ): I was sad to have to leave but I really hope we can do it again soon!!!

Movie Night

Hey! Charlotte again here to talk about the movie night that we had last night with our church!! Yesterday we got to the peoples house at about 3:30 (earlier than everyone else) so that we could have dinner with them and play a board game called Risk which takes a LONG time!!! And we didnt even get to finish the game but we got about half-way through! Sadly I didn't win!! But I didn't care I still had an awesome time!! After the game we went outside into the peoples backyard where we were going to watch the movie "Up" but unfortunately after we got about 20 minutes into it it started to rain so we all ran as fast as we could into the house!! We got to visit for a little while but we left right when the rain stopped so we didn't have to get into the car in the pouring rain! Then on the way home we had to stop at Walmart to get some stuff for my older brother Wesley who was going back to collage the next day (today) by the time we got home it was pretty late so i went straight into my bedroom to go to sleep!! Despite the rain it was a pretty awesome night!!

A Busy Week

Hey everyone! It's Charlotte here again. Today I thought I would post about a practicum that I went to this week for my Co-op! It was in Pinehurst and it was a 3 day practicum! My family and I all helped with it and I got to help with the 3-5 year olds which was SO much fun!! The guy that led the camp that i helped with and his sister stayed with us during those days because they live in Greensboro! It was awesome to have them stay with us we all had a lot of fun together!!! For the first day I had to stay home 'casue I had some stuff to do! But the 2nd day I got up at 6:300 AM!! But luckily I slept most of the way!! Once the kids started arriving we got to do alot of coloring and Play-Doh (which was alot of fun!!) and then after awhile we went outside to the playground where it was extreamly hot!! So we only stayed out for about 15 minutes 'cause all the kids were saying they wanted to go inside since it was so hot!! At 12:00 all the kids got picked up and then we all got to have a little break to eat lunch but then after an hour it was time to head back to the classroom before all the kids started arriving again!! At the end of the day right before the kids parents came back to get them  we got to watch a movie!! After the practicum finished that day we had to go to the orthodontist where my sister Natalie and I found out we would have to get braces in September!! Then when we finally arrived at home my dad and brother and the guy who stayed with us named Grayson went to play basketball while us girls stayed home and played card games and visited!! Then yesterday morning once again we got up at 6:30 and drove to the church where we were having the practicum for the last day of it!! One of the other helpers and I had a blast chasing eachother around trying to mark eachother with markers!! (who knew that could be so much fun?!) Anyways I had a lot of fun at the practicum and I hope all the kids did also!!

Beach Trip

Hey girls! Its Charlotte here to talk about my trip to the beach with my family! We were there to visit some friends of ours who went to our old church! They have four kids Caroline who is 14 (almost my sister Natalie's age) Grayson 13 (exactly my sisters age) Molly 9 (a year younger than I am) and last but not least Owen 4 (cutest little boy EVER) So we arrived at their lovely house on Friday around 1:30 or 2:00 PM and shortly after that we loaded up and went to the beach for the day! It was a lot of fun! After we came back from the beach we all took showers (most of us got to take one in the outside shower they have) and then we all got to hangout and visit! It was so fun for me because I was a baby when we went to church woth them so I didn't remember then at all but it was very fun to get to know them!! It worked out really well for Natalie too 'cause her and Caroline will be going to camp together in a week or so!! (Sarah Shope will also be joining them at camp) On this trip my brother Wesley and his girlfriend who is also named Caroline  got to come with us which made it even more fun!! Owen, Wesley, Caroline, the other Caroline, Natalie, Grayson, and Molly all went on the trampoline and I got to watch them!! After that we got to cook out hot dogs and steak and vegtables!!! It was SO good!!! While all the parents were talking us kids went down into the bonus room and played just dance and watched a movie!! Then it was time for bed so Natalie slept with Caroline, Wesley slept with Grayson, I slept with Molly and Owen, and Caroline slept on the couch in the bonus room!!! Before we went to sleep Own, Molly and I listend to Adventures and Odessy!! The next morning we woke up and had bagals, and watermelon and other fruits!! It was yummy!! After we finished eating we all got our bathing suits on and headed to the beach!! After awhile we sent my brother and his girlfriend to go and get some sandwhiches! We stayed at the beach almost the whole entire day!! But after awhile we had to go back to there house where we had pizza and YUMMY donuts!!! After dinner we had to pack up all of our stuff, load up and drive home! ): It was sad to have to leave but I am sure we will be seeing them again very soon!!!

Fourth of July celebration

Hey girls! Sarah and Charlotte here to post about our Fourth of July Celebration! Sarah and Lindsey arrived with their family at around 6:00. Our parents were laughing because we immediatly started playing our two favorite card games called kemps and spades! About an hour later we had hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. It was delicious! After dinner we happily went back to our card games! A little while later we roasted marshmellows and made s'mores! After that we shot beautiful colorful amazing magical fireworks into the dark night sky!!! Along with that we threw magical magnificant miraculous poppers onto the pavement! Then we went inside for some yummy cake!! :P After the Shope parents left all of us girls ( Lindsey, Sarah, Charlotte, and Noodle as Lindsey calls her) went upstairs and goofed off until 1:00AM when things started getting crazy!! So all of us except Natalie decided to go brush our teeth at the same time and we called it our 1:00AM moments! Where we took random videos and pictures of ourselves  it was lots and lots of fun!! Then we decided to head back into our bedroom. When all of a sudden, Phoebe came bounding into the room and attempted to sleep right next to Sarah who slept on an airmattress with Natalie! Eventually she left and decided to go sleep next to Mr. Walker who was sleeping on his bed! It was quite a funny site! Then we all went to bed.
