13 more days till Ramadan...
Today I went to the masjid for Maghrib. I couldn't pray, so I went to one of the classrooms and found some cherries and GREEN grapes in the fridge. Yum! Then, after Maghrib, we went to the store for some shopping. We went to K-Mart to get a notebook for my math. And while we were in there, H and I went to the entrance of the store and got some gumballs from the machines, and we tried to get the toys from the machine, but no such luck. Then we went to another store and the masjid. We met our friend there. Then we left. Bai...

What's Happening Today?
Nothing. Practically nothing. But I did work on my bracelet though! And someone's coming today with her mom, I think! And this morning I did the story a bit with my uncle! I also started a new story called Ghost Quest! It is a Zoe and Bo story.
Okay, maybe some things did happen today...

BREAKING NEWS: N Finds Nasty Caterpillar
I'm telling you, this is my longest post yet. ~N~
From Reporter John Smith:
Today, at about 9:00 AM, N claims to have found a big, nasty, green and purple caterpillar. We have interviewed her and this is what she says:
Well, this morning while S and I were waiting for someone to pick us up to go to something, S saw something nasty crawling next to one of the pots in our front yard. I saw it too and we both ran screaming into the house.
"EEWWW!!! WE SAW A CATERPILLAR! IT WAS SO NASTY!"
"IT'S LIKE A CENTIMETER THICK!"
Then we carefully came back out again and looked at it. It was still there, crawling. I got a twig from the ground and tried to pick it up. But the caterpillar was too heavy and it squirmed nastily and fell off.
S went to go get a jar to put it in. I took it and tried to scoop up the crawling caterpillar. It squirmed and curled up. (Even its squirming was scary!) I finally got it in the jar, along with some rocks. Then we started to find a bigger container for the caterpillar. S finally found a Lychee Jelly container. It was a good size, maybe 7" by 5". We put in some rocks and leaves, and a stick.
Just then, the person came to pick us up. We put the jar and container next to the stairs, and our final message was, "No one touch it!"
*** (Two Hours Later...)
Well, when we came back at about 11 something, the first thing we thought about was.....the nasty catty! (I'll just call it that from now on, until I tell you its real name.)
H said he had searched up 'nasty green and purple caterpillars' and he got a result. He said the catty was a tomato hornworm. Well, no wonder it was in the garden! My tomato plant was on the wall.
S did some research and found out that the worm had to be in a container filled with dirt. So we took the lychee container and emptied all the rocks and sticks out. We filled it with potting mix and put some tomato plant leaves on top. Then we plopped the creepy worm in. (Yes, I will put up pictures!) We put the container on a high shelf in the sunroom. We did a bit more research and found out that the tomato hornworm had to be in a dark place, not exposed to the sun. So we covered the container with a cloth. The worm moved a bit, and later I found it burrowing in the dirt. When I told S, she said,"Oh! Really?! That's cool! That means it's gonna...uh.."
"Turn into a moth?" I finished.
"Yeah!"
So now, it's still there, at the bottom of the container. S said that sometimes they die from burrowing. OMG.
Research says they make great pets!
And that's all N says from her experience with a tomato hornworm. Thank you for reading, and until then, please stay tuned. Thank you.

Amazed by the Quran
Well, yesterday I came back from Irving, TX. There was a convention held there on Saturday. There were three speakers: Abdul-Nasir Jangda, Nouman Ali Khan (who we all refer to as The Kiddist), and Suhaib Webb.
Their lectures were mostly about being amazed by the Quran. I slept somewhere in between, maybe during Nouman's lecture.
After the whole thing was done, we checked out the booths that were selling stuff. I got a red Bayyinah long sleeved shirt in size M for free.
We met some Malaysians and went to their house. It was super-fancy. The food was da BOMB. Rice, chicken nuggets, beef, pita bread, salad, and mangoes.
Our hotel was nice. There was a green couch, which was also a pull-out bed, and a queen bed. The bathroom was kind of big, and the shower was nice. The bar soap was kind of nasty looking. It was brown with darker brown spots in it. We came back on Sunday night.

Play Party!
The performance today was amazing. So the first play went on, and my only part in it was to pour a box of tin cans over a cardboard 'closet door' to make a 'monumental crash'. My part in the other play was being H's cousin. H's name in the play was Simon. My mom did take videos and pictures, but I don't think it would be safe to post them here.
After the two plays, there was an awards ceremony. First, a boy got his certificate. Then it was my and H's turn! H got the Mr. Engineer Award, and I got the Right Hand Gal Award.
Then, we left the theatre and went to the clinic to present our projects. Ours (H, me, and another kid) was an animation on division, as I mentioned in the previous post.
After everything happened, we went to the big room and got cupcakes with fancy rainbow frosting. There was also red and orange punch.
Then, it was time to go.

Now Camp is Really Extinct!
Today was the last day of camp. We ate our cookies for snack today. H and I couldn't eat the cookies he and the other group made, because they had vanilla. So I just ate mine. It was so crunchy. The roof of my mouth hurt.
Who Started the Motion?
Here are the games I have played in camp so far (Might not be all, I forgot some of the names):
Who Started the Motion?
Making Rain
Barnyard Animals
Sound Motion
I Have a Watch
Whisper Shaft
Duck, Duck, Question Mark
Simon Says
Sharks and Minnows
Lemonade
Machines
One Word Story
The Prince of Paris
The Name Game
And that's all I remember...there was a lot more, I'm sure...
Tomorrow will be the play. We are presenting plays based on the books Noisy Nora and The Doorbell Rang. Then me, H, and another kid will be presenting our animation on division.
Then there will be cake and an awards ceremony. Yay!
It will be from 12:30 to 1:35, supposedly.
Tell you what happens tomorrow,
