Getting Ready Some More

We all went to a newborn care class yesterday to get a "refresher" (for Mama and Dada) and so that I could learn how to help take care of my little sibling.  I learned how to swaddle, change a diaper, take care of Mommy Laura, and hold the baby in a sling.  It was a little boring at times, but I'm all prepared now to help take care of Mommy Laura and the new baby!

4th Grade Science Fair Project

For this year's science fair, I built a Gauss rifle and tested how far numbers of ball bearings went. 

Girls in Sports Basketball

Mommy Laura had to work at the nursing home today so Daddy Pat took me to a special basketball day with other girls in the city through the Recreation Department.  We mainly learned drills (dribbling, shooting, passing). 

#goHillary!

The election was a pretty exciting time to be engaged in "Get out the vote" at the SF for Hillary Headquarters and lots of scholarly discussion at school.  Unfortunately our candidate did not win the electoral vote. 

Halloween Preparations

Imogen stayed over and we carved pumpkins, went out for Mexican, and created some rainbow loom bracelets.

Bye, Bye Chickens

Goldie, Nugget, and Fuzzy went to their retirement home today.  Mommy Laura drove them to a lovely farm north of Sacramento where they can graze with other farm animals on a large farm.  There were other chickens, rabbits, an ostrich, guinea fowl, llamas, horses, cows, you name it.  Each had their own story of how the woman found them.  The dog is going to keep our chickens safe and sound.  We will miss them (and so will the stray cat who frequents the back yard). 

Fang

I've decided the baby's name is Fang.
