We haven't been blogging for a long time! Over the next week I am going to try to get caught up from the last month.

This is a school essay from Ilea, called Claire's that I thought I'd share (including her spelling):

The mall is a wonderous place. Espeicily after its been re-moulded. After such a thing, me and my family were exploring the mall. We sampled ice cream and the best cinnomen rolls in the world.
Then we came across a Claires. Mom said if I got my ears peirced, we could have ice cream. I agreed imediatly. So we went in.
I chose which earings I wanted. I ended up with clear crystal.
Then I got in a seat. It was reddish-brownish. I held my parents hands with my hands, and a teddy-bear in my knees. It was really soft.
A girl put cold liquid on my ears, but not befor she marked them with markers.
Then clip! It was done! It hurt a lot, but that dident matter now.
I liked Chocolat Therepy ice-cream off the cone. My ears were burning, but the ice cream gave me a big releif. Now my ears are wonders.
