Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Oh, the wonders of what can happen on a long weekend. Thank goodness we have today off from school.

Harrison left for Utah yesterday. At eight in the morning, all six of us crammed into a five-person car and drove two hours to the Charlotte Airport. It was... a chance for us to be close.

We made it to the airport on time and said our goodbyes, then we took a picture with the gnome. It was kinda sad, my oldest brother leaving home permanently. I just hope you'll stay in touch, Harrison!

We found out that orchestra was canceled that day due to "snow". A few flakes floated around in the air, that's it! It didn't even stick. Oh, well. It's supposed to snow tonight. Like, a whole inch! Whatever are we going to do? Good luck Harry, in Logan!

When I got home, I finished sculpting my school project and today I finished painting it. I made a model of the first steam locomotive out of Sculpey Clay. It took me three-and-a-half days to finish it! I hope my hard work shows for it, even though my picture taking skills are down-the-drain.

my sculpture














McKenzie is moving into Harrison's room, so she and Mum decided that they'd clean it out. They started with the closet. Big mess. She's got a while 'til she's movin' in.
