Thanksgiving Break

On the first day for Thanksgiving break I am planning on sleeping in. Then me my mom and my sisters Megan and Brooke are going shopping to Kohl’s and Old Navy to shop for clothes of what we want for Christmas. Then after we go shopping I might be hanging out with my friend Hannah after she gets out of school. 
On Thursday my family and I are going to make part of the dinner for the dinner. We make the mashed potatoes. Then around 5:30ish we go over to my aunt and uncles house. My mom, dad, my Aunt Chris, and my Uncle Dale finish up making the turkey, stuffing, broccoli and cheese, gravy, rolls and other things me and my sisters play with the dogs Jake and Teddy and its fun to play with both because Jake is much more active than Teddy because Jake is younger than Teddy. Teddy is fun to play with because he loves to give out licks and he loves to jump on your and tackle you when you walk in.  Usually Brooke and I pin Megan down so that Teddy licks Megan’s face. Then at like 6:30ish we eat. I eat mashed potatoes and some turkey and a roll. We have dinner together for about an hour. Then we clean up the dishes. After an hour or so we get pumpkin pie. Then about 9 we go home. 
On Friday I have to wake up at 5:20 to get up and babysit. I have to be over there by 6 so the parents can go Black Friday shopping. It was between Megan and I to go babysit and I chose to because they are fun to babysit (and they like me the best kind of).  Then after I am planning to have a sleep over with my cousin Jenna. She is my favorite cousin and she is the closest in age to me then my other cousins and we love to hang out together and talk to each other all the time If we end up having a sleep over we usually go to bed later than what we are suppose to because we always talk. Then the rest of my week end I don’t know what I am going to do yet because most of my friends that I usually hang out with are going away. That is my 5 day vacation.

Riddles

1. Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?


2. If the chicken says “Chickens are liar’s” is the chicken telling the truth?

3. There are two bodies on the floor. They are surrounded by water and broken glass. How did they die?


4. Dead on the field lie ten soldiers in white, felled by three eyes, black as night. What happened?

5. What question can you never answer?


6. There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which
rose bush was his wife?

7. Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

8. You are in a room that is completely bricked in on all four sides, including the ceiling and floor. You have nothing but a mirror and a wooden table in the room with you. How do you get out?

9. What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?
10. I turn Polar Bears white
and I will make you cry
and girls comb their hair.
I make celeberties look stupid
and make normal people look like celeberties
I turn pancakes brown
and if you squeeze me i’ll pop!
and if you look at me you’ll pop!
What am I?

In Ten Years...

A place I would want to be living in ten years would be Michigan or Florida. I would want to live in Michigan because most of my family is here and I like to spend time with them and also I love the seasons and how they change. The other place I would want to live in florida because its a good state to live in because they have fun waterparks and they have Disney and it is warm! I would want to be living in a two-story house if I lived in Florida then I would want it close to the water. I would get around by a car and the kind of car I want is a Jeep because I have always liked them. I would want to be be in school trying to be a teacher but if I wasn’t at school then I would want to be teaching kindergarden or first graders. In my spare time I would want to hang out with my friends.
