New swag!

Before I start this post I would like to tell my Grandma who commented on my last post that it is totally ok that you have been delayed! Anyway, today I woke up to my family carrying quite the load out to our garage! Why? Because we have a lot of junk in our house and a guy came by to pick it up. My family had to take all of our junk to our garage so that it would be easier for the guy to pick it up. Since I woke up a little late though, my family did most of the work😬. After playing some animal crossing, being really bored and reading some of my friend's book, I went with my mom and brother to drop my brother off at his cross country practice. Since, I was so bored this morning, my mom asked my friend's mom if I could go over there for an hour or so. She said sure and I had a lot of fun! We made a guinea pig roller coaster that a guinea pig can actually fit on! (Mainly because both of us have guinea pigs as pets) After I got back from that, I talked with my friend for a littl

Today, I woke up, ate my breakfast and got in the car to go drop my brother off at his friend's house. After that, me and my mom headed to the 99 cent store to get some fourth of july decorations. However, my mom stopped at Starbucks and got me a smore's frapuccino. Then, we went to the dollar store and got some tablecloths, and some centerpieces for a fourth of july party with our family this saturday. We're inviting our cousins and our grandparents (Our grandparent who we always stay six feet away from) to come over and eat dinner with us. It's pretty sad since America won't be doing their normal fourth of july tradition by watching fireworks at any local firework show😔. But, we have to look on the bright side and do what we can do...Spend time with our families! Here is a positive quote! Sadly, covid-19 cases are going up again but that doesn't mean that memories aren't cancelled. No matter how many times you might hear the sound for when you enter a zoo

An interactive experience with our church

Image
Sometimes, online church isn't the most fun so today our pastor made it worth the while. This morning, we had an interactive church service response for the end of our series. The series that we had just recently finished is called A People Prepared and has talked about how Christ is our refuge in every which way. So, to end the series and the last trinity church online, our church pulled clips from songs that our worship team has sung in the past into this service. Our pastor also had everyone bring some items to symbolize how important Christ is to our lives. It was quite different from the normal church service and really made me realize how God had and still will bless me with so many things to be thankful for. After, this I played roblox for a bit and also played animal crossing. Then, me and my brother zoomed with our cousin and we both became friends on animal crossing! It was really cool to talk to my cousin (On a screen of course) when we haven't seen her in so long! F

A tiring...but fun day

A couple of years ago, my grandpa, my mom, and my brother invented something called the Hard hiker's club. It is a club for people that really want to go hardcore on hiking. In the club, they do steep hills and mountains that are almost vertical and hike for as long as the whole day! Recently, I joined the Hard Hiker's club and have really liked it so far. Now that my cousins are back in america, they joined too! This morning, we did a hard hike called the Wild-wood hike. It was quiet brutal but it wasn't so bad when you always had someone to talk to😊. Here are some pictures of us at the top: Here's us when we stopped for a short break on the way down to talk and eat some crackers: I was quite pooped after the hike as it was 4 hours long😮. We went back down the way we came so we had to be extra careful since it was quite steep. My grandpa fell down once but he is ok! For the rest of the day, I didn't do much. I played omg dolls with my friends and played video gam

Memories and Mysteries

Today was an awesome day to just hang out with my family. In the morning, my dad joined me, my mom, and my brother on our daily roller skate ride. I was the only one who roller skated though😁. My mom fell down a couple of days ago and has not been wanting to ride until she has hands guards and my brother (Having sprain his wrist) has decided to focus more on running than roller blading. We were going along on our walk/ride and all of a sudden I said "Wait, do you guys have your masks?" My parents had forgotten their masks! My brother (Which is quite the fast runner) ran home and got a mask. After that, we arrived at the donut shop and ate outside. I did just dance for a bit when we got home and downloaded a new game on my computer called Animal Crossing Pocket Edition. Although it is only meant for downloading on a Nintendo switch and phone, you can still download it on a computer but the screen is shrinked. It's basically to where you are on an island and you create you

Yesterday...and Today

Image
As I explained in my last post, I was super tired yesterday and didn't feel in the mood for posting. So, I'm going to describe my day yesterday. In the morning, I woke up and played some video games/ate breakfast. After that, me, my brother, and my mom headed out to our cousins missionary house (Which is now where they are living temporarily for a year) so that they could all follow us to the creek that we were going to. Once there, me and my cousins went downstream and eventually found a really deep pool! Here's a picture of me and my cousins when we were sitting on a log above the pool. Then, we all went back to our original spot and ate some snack. Here's some pictures of when we all stopped for snack and the last picture is of when we threw rocks into the creek. My cousin's dog, Callie came along too! Here is a picture of her, not at the creek but when she's at my grandparent's house.  After this, we ate lunch one the way home and got ready for the next

A day in the quarantine

Image
Today, like many other days, me, brother and my mom went out for a roller blade and roller skating ride this morning. My mom fell down once but she is ok and is now looking on amazon for hand guards😀. I ordered an omg doll named Roller chic today ( I would've ordered that one called chillax but, she's still not in stores) as well as sleepy bone's furniture set. If you are not sure of what an lol surprise furniture set is, it's a cardboard box that expands into a room with furniture that goes along with the exclusive doll. The first picture is of the exclusive lol doll that comes with the furniture set. And the second picture is of the omg doll that I ordered. I also played dolls with my friends and played just dance as well. My brother and his friends invited us to play video games with them and we accepted! One of my friends made it really far into the tournament that we did! This morning, I was very lazy😴 and read some clubhouse magazines. I am deciding to go throug

My first day of swimming!

Image
I haven't swam in a long time due to the quarantine so I am happy to say that today is the first day I have swum this summer! It was at a friend's house and I had so much fun as we played games, found trinkets under the water and talked. Here's a picture of me when I found a noodle and a paddle and put them together! This morning, I was on a card making role and made quite a bit of cards for my family! I also worked on something that I call the Petinak newsletter. Family members reading the post will know what I am talking about. For those of you who don't know, the petinak newsletter is a newsletter that I send every month to my family so that every family member can know what's going on with the rest of our family! Another thing I worked on is a card for our local nurses. I was thinking of making cookies as well but I haven't done that yet😁. Here is the front of the card that I made: (Sorry it's sideways😬) Thank you so much for everyone's comments an

Mysterious omg doll disappearance and day of distress

Image
This morning I got up, excited to see the new omg dolls coming out in target. I checked on the website and I was delighted to see that most of them were there. But there was one problem, there's 4 dolls in a series and target only had 3 on their website. This whole day, me and my and my friends have been wondering why this omg doll just won't show up! Here is a picture of the missing omg doll below:  You are probably asking why is it a day of distress and the reason why is because my brother fell down while roller blading this afternoon! Although there is quite a few falls involved in learning how to roller blade, this one was a hard blow! His wrist is a little banged up but other than that, he is ok! We're not exactly sure yet if it's sprain or broken but we hope it's neither😬. We also watched our online church which is Trinity Church , a christian church that we have been going to for quite a long time.  Anyway, tonight we watched half of a movie called Pearl Har

Cousin meeting

Image
Although we can't really hang out with our cousins since we have to stay six feet away from them and wear masks, we can still laugh out in their front yard and socially distance. This afternoon, me and my family went over to our cousin's missionary house over in redlands. We all sat on the lawn and talked about what all of us had been doing lately and other things as well. It was nice to see people that we hadn't seen in person for 500 days :) Along with that, this morning me, my mom, and my brother did our daily rollerskate ride around our town. We went on quite the hilly sidewalk but my brother ended up having fun despite his worries about falling down as he is still learning how to roller blade. This morning, we also tried a show called Alexa and Katie which is about two girls and one of them has cancer. However, they are best friends and they stick together even through the toughest of challenges. We really like it so far.    Also, in my last post I asked what readers w

A Father's day celebration to remember and cousin landing in America

Today, my cousins from Germany that have been missionaries there for quite a long time arrived to the United states. Sadly, they have to be quarantined for two weeks because they came from another country😟. Me and my family have been waiting for them to come for a very long time and I got out all of my focus on the family kids magazines to loan them. They are christian magazines for kids.  I ended up reading some of them this morning and here I am with one of them. I have built quite the collection of magazines over the years and they have definitely been quite entertaining for me during the quarantine. I do not have any other pictures of what I did today because it was mainly playing with the quads and celebrating father's day. Me and my brother created a father's day slide to show him how we appreciate him and he loved it. Father's day is actually on Sunday, but we like to celebrate as a family a couple of days before because we celebrate with our grandparents on father

A normal day at the Petinak house

Today, like many other days, no one did anything in particular. However I will highlight some of the things that I did do today. This morning, me, my mom and my brother went on a walk/rollerskating ride. My brother is learning how to Rollerblade on my mom's roller blades she just got so this morning was great practice for him and he plans to maybe ask for them for his birthday. I roller skated this morning and my mom ran to keep up with Cameron just in case he needed any help.   After this, we ate lunch and played with the quads for the rest of the day. (Our neighbors are quadruplets so we call them the quads just for short) We then ate dinner and watched a movie called The Vast of Night . It was quite the boring movie and it stayed on certain scenes for 10 minutes at a time. My dad fell asleep three times through just one of the scenes 😂. We never ended up finishing it either.  Yesterday, I was given a tiny num nom package with an actual num nom inside of it! If you don't kn
