Tim Hawkins

We recently found a Christan comedian named Tim Hawkins who makes fun of songs.
This my favorite:

the reason I love It is because I don't really like the real song.
Some of the other songs that he has made fun of I really like the original.
Such as I can only eat Margarine (I can only Imagine)
he has a lot of other funny songs one of my other favorites is the home school family.Every time before I here the music I start giggling.

Yea!

After all that work, I finally found two words that mom didn't know!
1: corroboration, (noun) :to support with evidence or authority, to make more certain. synonym: confirm
2: profligate, (adj.) :wildly extravagant, completely given up to dissipation and licentiousness

So now mom owes me two dollars!

vocabulary

A couple of years ago my mom made a bet with me and Doyle that if we found a word in the book that we are reading that she didn't know and we looked it up she would pay us a dollar (unless she looks it up first).
I am reading Pride and Prejudice and have found a bunch of words that I don't know such as lieu, tumult and scrutiny, but unfortunately mom knew all of those words. The one word she didn't know was caprice. I asked her what it was and she said she wasn't sure so we raced to the computer we both tried to type it in at the same time. When we finally got to the Merriam Webster Dictionary we were both trying to cover each others eyes while we read it out loud. Mom got it first.
Ever since then I've been at the computer looking up any word that I don't know then asking mom if she knows it. No luck yet but my vocabulary is growing.

Visits

Tomorrow Grandma and Grandpa Poole are coming to visit (I can't wait to see you Grandma!)
It's been getting colder and harder to get up out of bed in the morning.I normally wake up at around 7:00 and get up at 7:20. Now that I've finished my science book I usually get done with school at about 11-12.
