Valentines, McKamy, Two Tests. Oh My!

Yesterday we had  a  Valentines Day party. We also went to McKamy Middle School to see what musical elective we wanted to do. I, personally, would like to be in Choir. My friend, Emma, wants to be in Drama. Drama is my second choice, Computer Literacy is my third. I am definantly going to get in to Choir, because they take as many people that want to be in it. There is no limit. However, in Drama, Computer Literacy and Art Apreciation, they can only take a certain amount of people. So maybe Emma will get into Choir with me (it's her second choice, Computer Literacy is her third, just like me!) but I still want Emma to get into Drama so she can like her elective.

Now, about the Valentines Day party. Nothing strange happened like at last years party. But we did a lot of talking and eating these little heart shaped brownies and popcorn. Everyone made little heart shaped soaps out of these HUGE-NORMOUS blocks of soap. We had a scavenger hunt looking for Valentines with certain things on and/or in them. An example would be... 'Find a Valentine with a Cartoon charecter on it'. I found everything except the one that wanted a sports equipment item on the Valentine.

We also had two tests. The two tests was the only work we did all day. We took a spelling test (which we do weekly) and a math test about volume and customary and metric capacity. I think I aced both tests except on one question on the math test. This was the question (or something like it)- 'Martin built a miniature stair case out of 12 cubes. It has 3 steps. How many steps would there be if Martin used 35 blocks?'. It was really hard because on one step in had 2 cubes showing and on the next step, it had 3 and then the next step had one. It was not easy also becuase 12, 3 and 35 could never be used in the same fact family and make sense. That was the only problem I think I missed. 

I bet you're wondering what 'strange thing' happened at last years Valentines party. Well, here's a little story: Once upon a time, it was a normal Valentines day party. Or so we thought. We had gotten cupcakes and we got to decorate them. The room moms set down a rather big  can of sprinkles. Emma reached for the sprinkles and started shaking it onto the cupcake. You would've thought 2 or 3 shakes would be enough. Nope. She kept on going, past ten, past 15, and a little over 20 shakes of sprinkles, Emma's cupcake was the new national monument, 'Sprinkle Mountain!'. Emma licked of all the sprinkles and grabbed the sprinkle shaker and shook some more. Emma went through almost half the jar. If that isn't weird enough for you, check out this story.

It was the same Valentines day party, sitting next to my two best friends, Emma and Victoria. Victoria had finished her cupcake and so had Emma (finally). Emma pointed at Victoria's cupcake wrapper.
"Are you gonna use that?" Emma asked. Victoria knew Emma, she gave Emma a suspicious look and at last said, "Nooooo."
At that, Emma grabbed the cupcake wrapper, and started licking all the crumbs off. Moments later, she stuffed the wrapper in her mouth and  began chewing! Victoria started gagging so much there were tears in her eyes, ready to stream down her face. After Emma stopped chewing she swallowed and opened her mouth to she Victoria, her mouth was empty! Emma ate the cupcake wrapper! How's that for weird?
