Dentist and Dime Hockey Board

I started making the first set of Creek Connections fundraiser candles. I started with sage and citrus, because it was a good number for the amount of time I had. The color turned out really nice. I now have them finished. They only took me one night to do so they were not that hard. The color that I had to make them in is a pale hunter green.
Today I went to the dentist. It was a normal cleaning check up. Like usual I didn't have any cavities so that was good. I had to go directly there from when I got home. I basically walked in the door and turned around and walked right back out.
Also starting today I had PSSA testing. They are just the regular state tests that everyone has to take. It is really easy and really boring. They last all the way until Tuesday. I am not looking forward to taking them first thing on Monday.
The last day of the grading period has passed so I am now in a different class for my 7th period. I was in a class where you make a dime hockey board. I put a picture of it below. I got a 98% on it, but I didn't get to put a clear coat on it. I was able to put whatever laser engraving I anted to in the middle.

Happy Easter!!!

Today is Easter! I had a nice day. My sister and her husband came over and ate dinner. Well it was more like lunch, but whatever. We had the usual ham, corn, potatoes, and other stuff. I of course didn't have any of the ham but all the side dishes are good. In the morning we all got our baskets and everyone was happy with their gifts. I got candy, a toppsy turving strawberry growing pot, and a solar powered light that changes color. It is going to go out by my pond when I have it up and running. The light is really nice the cover for it is a clear flower top. The entire flower turns the color of the light. I also got the final peice to my steeler train. It's a really nice set that I have been getting peices for over time. I got the final peice today. The whole train is really cool. It has a car for each of the superbowls and stuff like that. A day or two before Easter we dyed some eggs. I put a picture of a handful at the bottom. They looked and tasted really good.
On Friday I took a nice bike ride with one of my friends, their mom, my mom, and my aunt. We went on this trail that goes all the way to Washington D.C. if you fallow it all the way. It was a really nice sunny day and there were a lot of other people out also. We rode for twelve miles. We stopped at this pavillian and ate lunch we brought with us. It was a fun and I would like to do it again.
Saturday I volunteered at a car wash to raise money. I was part of the moring shift and we didn't get a ton of people, but I heard that there were a lot of people in the afternoon. I was one of the people who stood on the side of the highway with a sign and screamed at cars. If you saw a couple of kids on the side of the road yelling at people to come get their car washed that was me. It was fun and I would do it again even though I had the worst soar throat I have had in a long time.
