Shuffleboard Queen, I am

Grandma Barb and I went to Walmart yesterday morning in search of shoes (they're the only store I can find that carries size 11 shoes.) and came home shoeless.  I found some brown ones that I liked that went up to size 10 and some hot pink ones that only went up to size 6.  All of the cute shoes that I would want don't come in my size.  It seems that all of the ugly (to put it kindly) shoes come in size 11, though. 

Every Sunday evening my grandparents and Aunt Sherri come over to our house for dinner.  Last night my mom wasn't feeling so great, so we went to their house instead.  Let, me tell you... It was so much fun!!  (Don't worry, I took pictures!)  Elle and Sherri were playing shuffleboard on the Wii, and I decided to challenge my dad.  Neither of us had every played shuffleboard in real life or on the Wii before, so I thought that we would both stink.  But I was WRONG!  There were 16 rounds and I won 14 of those 16.  Most of the time it would just be freak chance... like, I would get 1 centimeter ahead of his or just knock his off of the board.  The first time he did well he did the "L" for loser thing in my face... until I knocked him off.  Don't worry, I "loser-ed" him back.  After we ate dinner (delicious, by the way, chicken, beans, potatoes, bread, yum!) Sherri challenged me to a game of chess.  Not realizing that I, being homeschooled, have a lot of time on my hands to play chess against the computer.  Let's just say that we played two games in 30 minutes and I won both.  Chinese Checkers is a different story... she had all of hers safe before I had two.  Sad, I know.

My outfit yesterday... Black sweater, jeans, blue tank top

 Sister against brother... The older sister reigned supreme.

 I'm the cute Power Ranger on the left... Dad is the dude with the afro.  Yo.

 Yes, Elle is drinking out of a wine glass.  No, she is not drinking wine.  Cranberry juice.  I promise.

 Blurry selfie!

 I was the only one prepared for the picture.  I'm a real ham, I know.

 A good one of the entire family!  Well, minus Elle, Mom, and Grandpa.

Daddy's getting some Lyssa sugar!  Doesn't he look happy?
