This week we were busy with the puppies. Annie (our mamma dog) pooped in the house a lot because she is eating all day and all night, and after the first few nights my mom stopped getting up with her every hour to let her outside. Annie is a good mother and nurses her puppies all day and all night long. The littlest puppy has gained a few ounces every day. We've decided that we will keep her. My mom's best friend had been asking to keep Maggie, our six year old Golden Retriever, and Mom finally said yes. Then we can keep a puppy without it being too crazy here, with too many dogs. It will be difficult to housebreak the new puppy. We need to name her soon.
My brother John came home from college this weekend. He hasn't been home in a month, so it was great to see him. Whenever he is home, Mom cooks his favorite foods. We had macaroni and cheese and KFC too. We'll see John again over Thanksgiving break.
On Saturday, we went to Taekwondo all day. We went to a mixed aged class, and to sparring class. I sparred many times. There is a tournament coming up, but we are probably not going to go because it's expensive. I'm a red belt now. I will be black belt in another year or so.
I go to Taekwondo four times a week. I've been taking lessons for three years now. Taekwondo is my homeschool gym class!
I am getting good at reading. Last night, I read my brothers their bedtime stories. Only a year ago, my dad had to read to me. Lately, I've been having a great time listening to the audiobooks of the series 39 Clues. The audio books are easier than reading regular books. I tried to read the 39 Clues series, but it was too difficult. When the narrator reads the book to me, I can understand it better.
I read other series of books by myself, such as, Geronimo Stone and Magic Treehouse. Tuesdays I get to read all day long, unless we have a field trip. That reminds me, I better go to the library today to get books for tomorrow!
