its July tenth, and that would be the day my Mom was born twenty seven years ago (*wink wink she has a fifteen year old son really.)
It was a pretty normal day for us all, Mom went shopping, (for her birthday meal of course!) We went outside, a pretty average day. It started seeming like someones birthday when she asked me to make the seven layer salad, which is a delicious salad with lettuce, celery, onions, cheese, mayonnaise,bacon, pepper and sugar. (there must be something I'm missing, it is TEN layer salad after all...) I cooked the bacon while Zach chopped up everything else. After the bacon was done, I went downstairs with my grease smeared, almost burned hand, and went to cheezburger.com, which is a website with a bunch of pictures and you can put labels on them to make them funny, and made an e card for Mom. Pretty soon it was time to eat. we had chicken, and watermelon, and of course, seven layer salad. After which we sang to Mom, (very off tune I might add) and ate brownies. Mom said it was a good Birthday because it was relaxed, and no one was overreacting, so it all ended up to be a great day.
this is me! welcome to my life, my world, and my blog! This is where I'll post my latest poems, pictures and other things, so welcome to Ivy's world!

The Swing
This is one of my favorite poems that I wrote, I hope you like it!
swiftly, swiftly, I fly through the air,
in a world of wonder,
without a single care.
higher, higher,
so fun it could be crime!
with the wind in my face,
a new adventure every time.
harder, harder,
I push, push and push
for I must touch the sky
I'm flying soaring, WHOOSH!
simple, simple,
and yet so fun between
the ground and sky and seat,
I'm flying on this swing.
Crazy Days and Crazy Nights!
Okay so we have to babysit for a 14 year old and an 11 year old while their parents are on a motorcycle trip, and let me tell you, it has been one heck of a day! to have one crazy teenage boy, and one crazy preteen boy at your house for two days is not an easy chore. First of all, let me give you some background on the maniacs.
Austin
age 14, is really mean sometimes, and thinks he's better then everyone else, especially girls.
Brendan
age 11, is obsessed with Lego's, and the computer, is fun to be around sometimes, but is kinda like his older brother. He is my little brothers best friend.
so the day started off when I woke up. I wont tell you how late, but it was late and that's all I'm goingto say:) I saw them in the living room and (big surprise) they were huddled around my older brothers laptop. I ignored them and went upstairs, but it was so late I just skipped breakfats, so I went downstairs to check on my Shelfari (like Facebook kind of but its centered around books.) Account. I must have taken longer then I expected, because it was almost lunch time when my Mom asked me if I wanted to come to her doctors appointment and go shopping. I said yes, because by this time everyone was yelling and being boys. I asked if I had time for lunch first, but we were already late. I waited through a half hour doctors appointment, and shopping, and finally ate at 3 o clock. (food was so good then!) this is when it got crazy.
When we got home, we sat around, read a book, boring boring blah blah blah, and then we ate pizza for supper. The pizza was good, and after supper we all went outside, and Brendan found paint on his bike! Of course he blamed it on my 5 year old brother, and I had to stop him from freaking out, and then we went to jump on the trampoline. It was a big mess. My baby sister got hurt when she fell down, so I took her inside, but I forgot her shoes so she was bawling. (I swear she's 3 going on 13!) I went back to get them, and when I finally started jumping again, they had started playing dead man. It was fun and we had a blast, but then they started wrestling, and my other little sister, (she's seven and very sensitive) got hurt. we all went inside, and then Austin my big brother and I went down to play a video game. Okay people, before I tell you this, let me say, we told Brendan and Ethan (my little brother) we were going to play a video game downstairs, and they stayed up there, and I got there first! so I got one level done when they come down and make me leave. I take it away again, (not literally take it, they give it to me somewhat grudgingly) and my brother tattles on me! So that's why I am on the computer tonight, and why they are asleep, and I am awake. I hope tomorrow is just as fun...
