poker

we just learned how to play poker. I think it was called Texas holden or hold 'em. It was so fun, but we played it a little differently. first we named it the Ogden's Sabbath day poker game. then instead of measuring in dollars, we measured in how many cokes we could buy with the money we had. (there's 50 cent cokes at a gas station by us.) Dad was so funny, i would check every time that i could even if i had good cards. It drove him crazy. One time i checked and groaned and said "Ahh, she's eating me up." to mom. We laughed. It would be much funnier if you were there, i promise. There were so many other funny things, but i forgot about them. Maybe I'll remember later. I got away with only two and a half cokes worth of money. Dad won, he gets six cokes. It was a pretty fun game.

No School

Today, with only four weeks left of school, we got a day off! It wasn't because of snow or cold weather, it was because a train leaked some crazy stuff that, I guess, is really Flammable and dangerous. It spilled pretty close to our school, so we get a day off! Crazy, and lucky!
