Pulley Time!


My Dad and I installed a pulley system from our deck to our tree house today. We used two pulleys, 200 feet of rope and a bucket! We installed it so that a deck dweller can send things over to the tree house dwellers!

If you pull too hard on the rope everything in the bucket will fall out into the yard and then we'll have to go down and get it! That's definitely NOT the point of this contraption! You see, we wanted to be able to send stuff across not have to go and get it!


So far it's working perfectly!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone! Happy 2009! That is my little brother, Will, wearing 2009 glasses that used to be 2008 glasses! We had a fun night at the Mincer's home. We stayed up until about 3:00 am! That was a late night for some of us, like my brother.

While we were waiting for midnight to come around, we played the Wii. When it finally came around, we watched Disney Channel and we watched the last episode of 2008, and the very 1st episode of 2009!!!!

Hair paint day!!!!!!!

Yesterday my sister and brother and I got pink and purple hair paint. Here I am with pink & purple. Here are my brother & sister with paint in their hair, too.

My hair was cool! People kept saying that they would know that we belonged together because we all had pink and purple hair.

My Egg Drop

On September fifth, 2008 the 5th grade did an egg drop where you have to protect your egg enough so it will not break. Each kid has to design their own special container to hold and protect it so it will not break as easily as it would when just a plain egg would have been dropped. The teachers dropped the egg drop projects from the gym roof.

We had to think of a hypothesis and then how to solve it. My hypothesis was when an egg is dropped or crashed it breaks. I thought I solved the problem by putting my egg in a little water bottle and then putting the little water bottle in a bigger bottle. I should have made a cushion for my egg because it broke even though the parachute worked perfectly.

I named my egg after Amelia Earhart because Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly. I named my egg Amelia Eggheart because it was dropped which is sort of like flying!

Here is me after Amelia crashed, how my contraption looked when it landed, and the teachers on the roof.

Nim's Island

Sorry I haven't posted in a while!! I've had a busy week. This week we took care of our friends' chickens. I watched Nim's Island the other day with my sister and my brother. I am going to tell you about it.


Nim is an 11-year-old girl that lives on a remote island in the south pacific with her dad because her mom got swallowed by a blue whale. When her dad leaves her alone for a couple of days while he searches for protozoa Nim, the bad Buccaneers come but only Nim knows. But Nim uses her imagination to fight them off. I really like it and I think you would like it too! If you like adventure you will like it.

Violin



Last night I started violin lessons. They are for 30 min. every Tuesday night. My instructor's name is Richard Baritaud. I'm looking forward to learning more (I only know part of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star). Here is a clip of me playing notes. If you listen closely enough you can hear my 5 yr. old brother yelling at me to stop making noise!

Beach Time!!

We went to the beach on the 20Th (Emerald Isle). On Monday it was rough (red flag) so my brother, my dad and I went down to the beach to see how it was. The water was really rough so we could only play in the sand that day. But the next day it was calmer so we went in the waves.

On Saturday it was my granddaddy's birthday so my aunt, sister, and I made a cake for him . Here are a couple pictures of the beach...
