Paycheck and Smell

Courtnie: Mom, is Dad getting paid a full paycheck since he isn't working very hard?
Me: What? What do you mean he isn't working hard? He's at work everyday.
Courtnie: Well, you know, with his finger he can hardly do anything at work.
Me: Baby, Daddy is working, he's just doing things differently now.
Courtnie: Oh.

*I was for sure she was about to ask me to take her shopping!* 

---------------------------------------------------
Colton: Mamma, I just love you SOOOO much!
Me: [wondering what he's done or wants]
Colton: You just smell SOOOO good!
Me: Oh really?!
Colton: You are so nice for taking us places. I just love you!

*I just love him, I never lack affection or the show of love from him.*

Evidence

If Christianity was illegal, would there be enough evidence to convict you? I pray for more opportunities to share my faith and stand up for right causes. I pray I have a long list of "evidence" and acts of Christianity. Would your life go to trial?

Dance World

By Courtnie Gautreaux
May 2012
5th Grade

Why the fun of Dance World was made:
Dance World was created because I love to DANCE!  Since I love to dance I thought it would be more fun to create my own studio and all of that.

Dedication Page:
I dedicate this page to my friends Aubri and Callie because at out school talent show we did a dance together.

About Dance World:
Dance World is going to be about having fun dancing and doing many things you wouldn't normally be able to do at home.  One thing you could do is every 10 minutes you could eat candy and drink soda.

Fact Page:
The ruler of Dance World is Courtnie Gautreaux.
Here is a description of the physical appearance of our ruler:
Physical Appearance: Courtnie is always in an cute outfit.  She wears short shorts and neon colored shirts.  Her hair is always up in a pony.
Personality: Courtnie is very nice and she never yells at anybody.  She doesnt go to fast with the dances either.
These are the characters who uphold the good in the world, and a description of each: Aubri - She doesn't argue and is fun.  Callie - She's a fast learner and one of my best dancers.
These are the characters who cause problems in our world, and a description of each: Marlie - She's mean to other people.  MaKenna: She always wants to be in the center spot.
These are the people whom the inhabitants of our kingdom will always give a special welcome: Tiffany, Brittany, Jacky, and Heather

Our Secret Language:
In Dance World we always use a secret language.  Our secret language is using signals.  One of our signals is holding an X with your arms which mean you have a question.  Another one if hold up 3 fingers which means you got it down.

Decree:
We, the inhabitants of the world of Dance World, do solemnly decree these rules to govern our kingdom:
- You can get out your phones during break time.
- You can eat or drink anything you want.
- You can teach the dance to other kids once you got the dance down and they don't.
- You can call a celebrity to come and watch us dance.

The Conflict:
One day while we were performing at a competition Aubri accidentally tripped over Marlie.  As you know Marlie is one of our bad kids, so after the dance was over she started pushing Aubri down and calling her names.  Aubri wasn't pushing back but I could tell that she wanted to.  It was really hard to settle Marlie down.  When it was time for our next dance Marlie and Heather had to switch spots because we didn't want Aubri's feelings hurt again.  Well the dance went pretty good besides the fact that Marlie wasn't doing facials!!  On our way back to Dance World Marlie said sorry to Aubri and they became friends again.  We didn't really get a good score on our first dance but, we did on our second dance.

Extra Page:
On May 23, 2012 I was getting ready to go to Dance World and teach the kids dances.  When I got there all of the kids were ready to learn.  I was teaching the dance but then Callie twisted her ankle.  She said she couldn't dance anymore so I gave her an ice-pack and told her to sit on the comfy couch.  When that was all settled it was time to go in the Magic Pantry of Snacks.  I gave Callie a brownie and everybody else one.  After 10 minutes of break time we showed Ke$ha our dance.

My Role:
My part in this world is to be the teacher.  I teach the dances and I also make sure that everybody is having fun!  I am the best dance teacher ever and my students will never go home with a dull face.

The Future:
In the future I will probably still be at Dance World because it is my world!  I will always be welcome for doing my job.  I will never share my world with others because they might ruin it.  I like my world just as it is!!

The Stage:
It lights up when you step on it.

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

Colton: How old do you have to be to get married?
Mom: 35
Colton: You're not even 35! But what if I'm already in love?
Jason: Who do you love?
Colton: You know..... Emily! Why can't we just get married now? I'm in love with her! And she likes me too! 

Earlier in the day, the two of them planned their wedding colors!  This boy is going to find the love of his life and love her to pieces.  He's definitely a charmer :)
