Today I woke up at about 9:00 Am and went downstairs. Then my sister babysat a very cute, 2 year old boy named Cason at our house. He really thought that the wii was scary when I was showing it to him. Then I did school. I finished my Writing Practice, part of a worksheet and a lot of other stuff. After that I had my friend\cousin Austin over to play. We played with legos for a long time, we watched American Idol (a singing competition on tv), we played a board game, and we had a competition just like American Idol only with rocks to find out which one was more beautiful.
