Candy, Candy, and More Candy

That's pretty much it. Right there. I would be done my post if there wasn't anything else to talk about but fortunately there is! Here we go:

First off, trick - or - treating was a lot of fun! I got about a full pillow case of candy, I went with one of my best friends, Hannah and 2 other girls. And we got to do it by ourselves and with no adults! So.... that means eating a bunch of candy without them seeing you do it and stopping you! Plus, you can walk at a faster rate, which means going to more houses, which ends up with you getting more treats and goodies! YAY!!!

The second thing is that on Saturday, we had our big volleyball tournament. It was great, we played really well. Our team ended up winning our first game (which we thought we were going to lose), but we didn't and we were against a really good team!!!! We placed 6th by all of our rankings of the season and by the end of the tournament, we placed 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were all so happy and proud because we improved so much! And to add icing to the cake, we also won the sportsmanship award, and got a trophy for that!! OH YEAH! Here are some pictures at the tournament:





1st picture: I am #2, that's when we were awarded the sportsmanship award!

2nd picture: There's me looking off into the distance...

3rd picture: Our whole team and coaches with the trophy. Madison J. is in the gray sweater next to me at the end.

Volleyball was a lot of fun, and I hope to do it next year, by then we will be a huge threat and rival for NHA schools that we compete. Plus, we get our own jerseys with matching bottoms!! COOL!!! Ta-ta for now folks!
