Hello.
Today, in an hour, we are leaving for the Two Rivers Feile. (you say Feile like FAY-lee) It is our fifth feis this year. (I'm thinking that you all know how to say feis) I hope that I will do good. I think that I am ready for this. Miranda is hoping that she will qualify for Oireachtas at this feis. She especially needs to in her softshoe, so I think that I will not dance my Slip Jig, to give her a better chance. That's all I have to say about the feis.
Last night we watched part of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. (That's the second one, FYI) We couldn't finish it because we had to get to bed. It is not the best one of the six, but some parts are okay. I like 3 and 6 the best. They have the most action. I do like number 1, with the Gungans and Jarjar. I am really hoping that you all know what I am talking about. If you don't, I will be very sad. You really need to watch these if you haven't. Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. Goodbye, and wish me luck.

I'm back!!
Hello.
I'm back!!! I have not posted for a very very long time. I know that you really want to hear about my trip with my grandparents, but that was a long time ago, so I don't really remember all that much about it, but I will say that I had a very fun time. About 2 weeks ago, I came home from Church Camp. It was SO MUCH FUN. It was at Camp Sinewa, in Wisconsin. We had a very long drive but it didn't seem that long because we were doing things in the car. And, my team won the talent show! (They have talent shows on the last night every time) Anyway, we had a lot of fun and we are going to go next year. (of course) Let's see.... I'm not that sure what to say here.
Well, at dance class we are preparing for the Irish Fair that is in about two weeks. So, we are just getting the show together and making it good. Last Thursday we did a little show at the Saints Game. The theme was, "Saint Patrick's Day in July". So of course they had to have Irish Dancers. It was very hot and we were very sweaty the whole time. We only had two wear our dresses for like, ninety seconds, so we weren't in those the whole time. We wore regular T-shirts and black skirts. So, it wasn't all that bad.
Tomorrow we are going to go to the MN zoo!!! At 4:00 pm. I hope it doesn't rain, because then we wouldn't be able to do the outside stuff.
I have been reading a lot of books lately, and now I am reading, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". It is NOT abridged, just so you know. I am able to take strong literature. It's not to hard for me!
Anyway, that's all I have to say for today. I will try to post a little more. So, Goodbye.

What I was doing in the past day and today
Hello. Even though you all really really want to hear about my 6 day long trip with my grandparents, I am not going to post about that just yet. I will in a following post. Instead, I will tell you about my trip to my other grandparent's house.
Today we got home from Grandma and Grandpa's (Storhoff) house. Yesterday we did a show at the Green Lea Nursing Home that is a block away from their house. We had fun. We didn't really do that long of a show. Just a few dances, some songs, and piano numbers. And Grandpa told jokes. Here is one of them: A kid said to another kid, "My dad can lick your dad." The other kid said, "So? My mom can, too." hahaha. (Let's hope you're all dying of laughter right now.) Us four girls walked home from the show and we went to the sandhill. I'm not sure if any of you know what that is, so I will tell you: It is a HUGE hill that is made out of sand. It is a block from Grandma's house. It is very easy to climb up, and I have always wanted to carve my initials into it. You can break off pieces of sand off and it kind of looks like fake gold nuggets.
Rookie is in a big cone because he cut is leg, right above his pads. I bet he can't wait to have it off. The good thing is, he can put his head on your lap without slobbering all over you.
We watched a movie called, "Yankee Doodle". It is about the life of George M. Cohan. It was good, but it was about 2 and a half hours long.
Grandma made her delicious waffles for breakfast. She was sorting through all of this old jewelry. Some of it was really ugly, but some of it was okay. We found some old unicorn earrings that we will try to polish up and fix. Miranda found an old locket that had Grandma's picture in it from a very long time ago. She took that home, because she didn't have a locket, and she wanted to put her picture next to Grandma's. The other thing was a little gold sand dollar that we put on a chain. I took that home, and I love it very much. We also found books that we took home. I got the following: Doctor Doolittle and the Secret Lake and Stories from the Arabian Nights. I will begin reading them ASAP. So, we all had a good time. I hope this post fits your enjoyment, because it did mine.
Love,
~Isabel~

We are leaving in 20 minutes
Hello.
Today we are leaving for the Milwaukee Spring Feis. It is a long 5-hour trip. Plus, we have this STUPID snow which has to keep coming back. I'm not sure if it will slow us down or not. I really really hope I get a good place in my softshoe at this feis. I have been working on my reel. My goal is to qualify for Oireachtas. I have to get a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in all of my dances to qualify. I have qualified in both of my hardshoe. Well, I think we are beginning to pack up now.
Love,
Izzy

Hello.
Yesterday's show was normal. No mishaps. Only, I forgot my whistle. *yippee* So nothing majorly bad happened. Now we only have one more in April, which is a staff banquet at a place that we just did. So, our tour has basically ended.
Last night we watched half of the movie Little Women. Tonight we will watch the other half. Now I am reading the book. Mom also got us the older version of Little Women but we decided to watch the other one first. (because it is in color) Mom also got us the Bing Crosby movie Going My Way. That is what we got our song that we sing in our shows from.
Well, I am going to eat my lunch now. Goodbye!

Excited for Feising Season!
Hello.
I just finished washing the table. Sonja, Sese, Miranda, and Mom just left for the library. They are going to pick up 'STAR WARS: The Empire Strikes Back'. Hopefully we can watch it tonight. Last time we watched star wars, we broke our speakers. We will be watching it using the TV speakers this time.
I am soooo excited for the feising season!! I get to wear my new dress!! The next feis is going to be in April. It is the Minneapolis Feis. Another one by O'Shea irish dance school. After that is the Milwaukee Spring Feis, which is the week after the Minneapolis one. A school in Wisconsin comes to our school some years and does a work shop. The teacher invited us to go to one of their classes whenever we are in Wisconsin. So, the night before the Milwaukee Spring Feis, we might go to that class. Since Miranda does not have a dress right now, since she is waiting for Sese to get a new dress. Sese is waiting for a girl to get her dress which is going to be some time in April. So, Miranda is going to have to wear my old white dress for a few feises. It fits her pretty good.
My strep throat is pretty good. Now dad is sick, but he doesn't have strep. (yet) Miranda is pretty sick too. We all are except Sese. Not really really sick, but just cough cough stuffy nose headache sick. I'm the only one with strep so far.
We have a show tomorrow afternoon. I think it is the second to last one! Yippee!! We have another show in April. Well, I will tell you about tomorrow and how it goes!
Goodbye,

I stayed home all day today
Hello.
Today I stayed home from morning and evening church. I'm still contagious, so Mom thought I should stay home. Miranda felt pretty bad today too, so she stayed home from morning church, but she feels up for going to evening church. Dad is also pretty bad. He is home with me. He is making us eggs for supper. Tonight our family is supposed to do the meal for youth group, so they are bringing:
Baked Ziti
Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge
Brownies
Milk
So they should have a pretty good time. I bet Miranda is going to be bored out of her wits without me at church.
I am feeling better today. I can talk clearer now, and I can sing! Since today is Palm Sunday, the kids choir at church was going to sing a song. But I wasn't there so I missed it. Oh well.
Tonight I would like to watch an old Bing Crosby movie like, Here Comes the Groom, or Doctor Rythm. I hope we can. Well, that's all for tonight, folks!
