Sebatian turns seven, or things i love about my bro

1: Sebi may act tough , but one of his favorite things to do is pick flowers with me. I love the exitement in his big blue eyes when I suggest we make a bouquet to surprise Mom

2: He is the most ticklish thing on two legs. He laughs like a maniac when you poke him in the ribcage, even if it was meant more to hurt than to get such a result.

3: His facial expressions. Even when Seb is trying to look cool, it cracks me up.

4: the way he looks:long, dark brown unruly "pelt" of hair, electric blue eyes and large front teeth. Don't worry Sebster, you'll grow out of having buck teeth, but until then, you have all the charm you need. No matter what you say.

5: Sebi's little cackling snicker, put to good use when he knows you are mad at him.

6: He's always so happy to see me when I come home from swim team, and will give me a hug no matter how strongly I smell of chlorine.

7: He is my brother. I couldn't wish for a better nutcase to share a last name and home with.

I still cant belive that seven years ago I was sitting in my kindergarten classroom, full to the brim with anticipation and watching the hours creep by before i could fly home and hear news of my new baby brother. I love the crap out of him, and no matter how old and tough he gets, he will always be my baby brother.

School

Yes, I am still alive, at least partially. School is amazing for the most part, but i am ready for it to be over. to give you an idea of how the year so far has gone:

Term 1: School is right up my alley! I am rokin the GT program that allows me to go to High school as a seventh grader, acing my classes, especially German, making new friends, teachers yet to reveal their true colors, swim team same as ever, I can do this!

Term 2: Oh, countdown until Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, preparing for end of semester, German class takes a downhill turn, friends amazing, still acing & loving most of my classes.

Term 3: Dropping German for Ballroom, just keeping my head above water for grades, summer looks so far yet not far enough, life's a party, but my brain is in the preliminaries of summer shutdown, some friends doing not-so-smart things, but still surviving

Term 4 thus far: SUMMER! WHY CAN'T YOU COME SOONER?!

Well, that pretty much explains it. Summer is looking amazing, with girls camp and a trip to Germany, but why must it be so far away?

Summer at my house

Things are pretty crazy here now that we are out of school. No, we aren’t shleping ourselves and a load of luggage over to Europe, but while that means less hassle, it also means more house to clean up (and more swim team for will & I). So, this is a typical (crazy) day at our house:

6:00ish:Mom and dad wake up and take turns jogging/ making sure godzilla doesn't eat us in our sleep or something.

8:00ish:will, seb and I wake up. We then make our beds & get dressed (don’t get too impressed. That's how we earn breakfast) and go eat breakfast.

10:00 : sebi goes to basketball. Will and I babysit Joss.

11:00 : Sebi goes to swimming lessons

Most of the time 'til 3:45 we play, do chores, work in the garden, etc

4:00 : Will and I go to swim team

5:00 will's level ends

5:45: mine ends

6:00 ish we eat dinner.

Until 9:00 we do more crazy stuff like we did previously

9:00: we go to bed and mom& dad start watching west wing.

11:00ish mom& dad go to bed
