I haven't posted in a while, so here we go. Recently for Christmas I got this ridiculous game, "Curses", in which you place curses on people and they have to do what's on the card. If someone catches them not doing what's on the card, you break the curse. If you break three you lose. Some curses are an invisible golf ball in your mouth, talk like Elmer Fudd, or copy the movements of the person to the right, or shake like you're in an earthquake whenever the person to your left speaks.
Also, my great Grandpa Ruel has been helping me every day with my math in home school. He's really the best teacher I've ever had. After math every day he also helps me with robots that I get for my birthday and Christmas and such. The most recent is the Moonwalker 2 robot, which required saudering, and Grandpa taught me how to sauder using his saudering gun. It walks for a few seconds whenever you turn off the light or make a loud noise.
We started a new family book, The Lightning Thief. If I tell you anything about the plot it will ruin it before you read it. Let me just say that it's one of the best books I've ever read. It's very well written. I also added a book list of 2009, and a book list of the best books I've ever read to my blog. They are near the bottom.
