Filming With Friends

Recently Luke found out about Full Moon Film Festival. He and his friend Brittany decided to make a short and enter it in the contest. The short is about the famous duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.

They got a bunch of friends together and gave them all different parts. Luke and Brittany arranged to shoot on some friends land. The shoot started at 10:00 a.m. and lasted until dark.

I was assigned the role of staff photographer. I took a lot of pictures of the shoot. Here are a few:

This is most of the crew.

This is Luke filming.

Rehearsing.  

I like the pink script paper.

I had a lot of fun being the photographer, I hope in any future shorts that Luke makes, I will have that job again. The whole shoot day would have been perfect, had not the weather been freezing. 

Birthdays, Hover boards, And Haircuts.

Last Monday one of our friends was having a party after P.E. The entire P.E. group was invited. Mom told Luke, Grace, and I that we could only go if we finished our school in time for P.E. (after P.E. every one was planning to drive straight to the party).

So that morning along with regular school I had a math test, a narration on the book, Once and Future King, and some science questions had to be answered. After breakfast I started work; a few hours later I was finished.  I was amazed/happy that I got only two questions wrong in my math test.

Mom mentioned that my hair needed a trim, I was really bored with my hair so I asked mom if I could get a "bob."

Tada! My new hair.

At P.E., when my friend Olivia came in, I went over to her wondering if she would like my haircut.  These were her exact words, "You got your hair cut!?! You are going to regret it! It looks cute."

One of the kids that goes to P.E. brought a science project to show everyone; it was a hover board, I got to ride it! It only lifted a few inches off the ground but it was really fun.

 At the party we had pizza and played games, it was really fun. it started snowing really hard so we all had to go home, but it was a really fun day.

M&M's

One of my friend's family recently received a bunch of boxes full of M&M's.  They couldn't eat all that candy so they shared; last P.E. they were handing out boxes. Each box contains 36 large bags full of M&M's. We were very happy.

Mom was keeping the box in one of the bottom cabinets. Sam likes the, "Mim nims" as he calls them, and he is allowed two every now and then; but apparently that is not enough. One day he came up to my Mom looking guilty, with chocolate smeared all over his face. He had discovered how to open the M&M bags.
Mom understood that the miserable look on his face meant, "Mom my stomach hurts, please help me, I can not stop, and also forgive me." The M&M's have been moved to a higher shelf.

A few nights ago, around 8:00,  Grace and I asked Mom if it would be okay to have some M&M's and watch a movie.  Luke who was working on school that night, also wanted M&M's.  Mom told Grace and me that a movie was okay with her and she would let us all have some candy.  When Luke asked, "How much is some?" Mom said she would trust us to get a reasonable amount.  Luke responded, "Okay" and walked off toward the cabinet then he returned grinning, with a huge bag for each of us.

Mom said "Ummm, no."

(Sigh).
