Moooving to Mass!

Hi everybody!  Last Thursday, my family and I and a few friends loaded up a 26” inch U-Haul.  Then, Friday we started on the short journey to Massachusetts.  My Dad got a job at a farm in Hadley, Massachusetts.  It took a lot of loading and lifting, but by Friday night we all had a bed to sleep on.

Now it’s Tuesday, and I still have to dig through boxes to find clothes every morning to find clothes, but we’re mostly moved in. Toodooleo!!!!!!!! 😉ryleigh-iditardo

God is so awesome sauce!!!!!!!

God is so amazing in the way that he shows us things.  Right?

On Palm Sunday, I stayed home from church with my mom and sister because my little brother was sick and my dad was working.  We watched a video about when Jesus said, “If the people won’t praise me, the rocks will.”  Then, later that day I went on Google and there were rocks in the Google logo picture.  God was saying through that, people won’t praise me on Palm Sunday, so the rocks on Google will.  If that doesn’t show that God can work through anything, I don’t know what does!

Mini Homeschool Lesson

Did you know that parts of the delicious rhubarb plant are poisonous?

Many plants that we eat every day have poisonous parts.  The rhubarb’s stem is super yummy, but its leaves are poisonous if eaten. That’s why it is considered one of the most dangerous garden plants.  Also, only 1,000 of the 38,000 are edible (you can eat them).

God tells us that our bodies are temples for the Holy Spirit. That’s why I have a hard time thinking that people put tobacco in their bodies. Tobacco contains a harmful poison called nicotine that can cause lung cancer and heart disease.  So remember always ask before you eat any wild plant!!!!!!!!

Thoughts on I Corinthians 13

I could give the poor a million dollars,

But without love, it would be nothing.

 

I could be a martyr for Christ,

But without love, it would be nothing.

 

I could have nothing,

And have love,

And I would be something.

 

So let the voice of love be heard.

Don’t store it away or hide it.

Let it guide you on your journey home.

Let it make a difference in this world.

Be something.

Let your love be something.

 

I give you these–

Faith, hope, and love.

The greatest of these is love.

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

(Well, I guess dear dirt that I’m scratching.)

Anyway, dear diary, today I caught a worm!  Henpen and Rusty did, but mine was the juiciest.  I also got a bath today.  (Chicken definition of bath:  warm water, soap scrub, pick up, salty vinegar, scrub, pick up, warm water, pick up, dry off with a towel, blow dry.)

Plus a skunk tried to get in.  It’s been a full day!  TTYL (Talk to you later).

Dear Diary,

(Well, I guess dear sawdust that I’m scratching.)

I guess my day to say goodbye has come.  Goodbye Rusty, Henrietta, and everyone else that loved me.  Especially, Gymnast.  Something is happening to me.  It doesn’t hurt; I just know that soon I won’t be here with my friends and my girl.  As my last entry before I pass, I want to say have fun, Hen and Rust and Gymnast and her family.  Do what I did!  Live life to the absolutely fullest!  Do not take life for granted.  Never, ever.

Goodbye,

Oreo

Spring Ping

I’m ready to Par-ty

Cause I’m green spring!

Bring on the happy children

And crisp blue spring skies

And my bright PING grass.

No one can stop me

Cause I’m spring

And I’m here to stay.

I’m full of emerald grass

And cartwheeling, handstanding,

Get-out-of-jail sky.

So don’t even try to stop me!

Fitness Commercial: Yogurt Choices

ryleigh-health1

 

To show all that I’ve learned in our health unit, I created a commercial to share with my class.  I researched different brands of yogurt, comparing the protein and sugar in each.  Did you know that some yogurt has more grams of sugar than a twinkie?  I shared a play and some  of my research, and then we sampled some yogurt with our family’s special healthy granola sprinkled on top.
