Hi

Hi my name is Natali. This is my blog. I do basketball, soccer, cross-country, volleyball, swimming, and skating. I play scratch also. My username is Phantomkitty07. I also love cats.

Cats: adopting

    Adopting can be hard for some people. Other times, the cats move right in. If your cat has trouble moving in, try these tips.
    Chose a room. This will be her room until she gets used to everything. Put her litter box, food, water, toys, and everything else in there.
     Provide a small place, such as a corner, to put his area. Furnish the area with cat items like a litter box.
    It takes about 2 weeks for a  cat to get used to a new place, so just leave them in their spot.
Here are some things you will need for your cat: Kitty litter, Bedding, Scratching post, Food and Water, Toys, Grooming, Collar, Carrier, and Optional tech wonders. With this, you're all set.

*red means needed
**orange means if wanted

animal jam

A couple days ago I got animal jaml. It is fun. I am a wolf named Artistic GoldenPearl. There are games and realms. I like it.

John McCutcheon Concert

The John McCutcheon Concert was fun! During most of the time I drew and sometimes I just envisioned pictures in m head. I drew pictures of a mill, a piano playing in the middle of the city of Sarajevo, and other things that went along with the songs. We went with my Oma and Opa, and I got an autograph of John McCutcheon on one of my pictures because it was so amazing. I got a picture with him too! There were also fireworks because a church nearby was hosting a block party that distracted the other singer. When the grand finale started we could see it through the church skylight and it was very bright. The singer took a pause during that finale. Then at the end John McCutcheon came back and sang with her and the audience got to sing along on some songs.

This one is from "Step by step." Step by step the longest march can be won, can be won. Many stones will form an arch, singly none, singly. And by union what we will can be accomplished still. Drops of water turn a mill. Singly none, singly none.






I drew this one during "Calling All the Children Home." 
Home to the table, home to the feast
Where the last are first and the greatest are the least
Where the rich will envy what the poor have got
Everybody's got enough, 'though we ain't got a lot
No one is forgotten, no one is alone
When we're calling all the children home
Gathered 'round the table and the big, black pot
Everybody's got enough, 'though we ain't got a lot
No one is forgotten, no one is alone
From the sacks in Soweto to the ice of Nome
From Baghdad City to the streets of RomeWhen we're calling all the children home 


This one was from "Streets of Sarajevo." It talked about people who were killed in a breadline and then a musician came and played in the crater left by the bomb every day for 22 days, one for each of the victims. My mom told me later it was a cello not a piano but I still like it and so did Mr. McCutcheon.

lightning storm

Last night there was a lightning storm. It was cool. There was lots of lightning. It was quiet. There was sheet lightning and fork lightning.

Library Prizes

Last week I got my name drawn in a prize drawing. I won four Crayola tickets at Ramsey County Library.(RCLreads.org). I also went to the Saint Paul Library and got a book, a journal, and I got to put my name in my favorite book, warriors by Erin Hunter.

School

Two days ago was the first day of school. It was also the solar eclipse. We went outside to see it but we couldn't because of the weather.  We went inside to see the live stream. My mom pointed out things like bali's beads, diamond ring, and Corona. It was an amazing first day of school.

End of the trip

The second day in Bergen I played with the cat a little bit. I had fun. We went to a fortress and on a fjord cruise. The cruise was very beautiful and I pretended we were in a magical kingdom with a tiny village at the end. At the end of the cruise there was a waterfall that I got to drink the water from.

The next day we went to a composer's house. It was a neat place with an old house. He had a little composing hut and we got to see his house. The hut was a small little thing, so cute with a bed and desk. It was so beautiful on the lake. Then we saw a piano concert there and I heard some of his music.

The last day in Bergen we did a glacier hike. On the hike there was a little lake. It was very windy and very stormy but we did get to see the glacier ice. On the bottom we had a snowball fight.

On the way home I got sick and threw up after we landed. But otherwise it was good to be home.

Last Days in Oslo and first days in Bergen

We saw three ship museums. Kon-tiki, Fram, and Norwegian Maritime Museum. I thought they were. I liked the ship and the kids' exhibits. At the Fram it had the giant polar ship and games to try being a polar explorer. The lighthouse in back was made out of trash from the harbor.

At Holmenkollen there was an obstacle course that we walked on. We went up the ski tower and I got to take a picture under the Olympic rings.

The long train ride was the most beautiful train ride in the world. I thought it was amazing. I drew a picture. There was a couple places where I got bored but it was nice.

Today we walked up Mount Fløyen. There was a climbing park with a tree house. We could see the city and part of the ocean.

Stockholm Day 2 and 3 Days in Oslo

On day 2 in Stockholm we went Gamla Stan aka old town. We also went to the medieval museum and the Nobel prize museum. At the medieval museum I learned that in the villages instead of telephones they yelled at each other across the street. There was a kid's room at the Nobel prize museum with a puppet theater, books, and a video about Alfred Nobel. We saw the Royal guard and band marching down the street near the medieval museum, and then later saw the changing of the guard outside the Royal Palace.

We did an overnight bus to Oslo. We woke up from the bus really early and then went to Oslo still kind of sleepy. We went and hiked around a fortress with awesome rocks and Kjirsten and I played warrior cats as Stoneclan. We were tired so we came home a relaxed for a while and then we went to the botanical gardens. At the botanical gardens there was a Viking garden shaped like a boat and information about the Vikings. There were also bones and a millstone and a throne.

Yesterday we went to we did a river walk and then went to the sculpture garden. On the river walk there were lots of playgrounds and a miniature children's museum. We also saw the oldest building in Oslo. It's almost a thousand years old. On the way to the sculpture park we saw the church and it looked kind of like the one in Wittenberg. In the hymnal we found some songs we recognized in our hymnal! We also stopped at the Royal palace and pond. There was a nice man at the pond who let us have some of his bun to feed the birds with. Then we went to the sculpture garden. All the statues were naked and some of then were things we do as a family like piggyback rides and cuddles and squishing daddy.

Today we went on a ferry to hovedøya and saw jellyfish on the beach. We found out the water was salt water from the ocean. We found that out after I licked my finger. We didn't go swimming because I didn't want to swim with jellyfish. We hiked and we saw lots of nature and army barracks and monastery ruins that are almost 900 years old. Then we went to the oldest open air museum in the world. We saw traditional folk dances and it was raining so we had to cram inside a building. Then we went to the Viking ship museum and saw a video of Viking funerals and one about recreating the boats and one about Viking trips and trade and looting and killing.

Stockholm!

On the flight we got to watch a movie and I watched Born in China, a movie about animals - a monkey, deer, cranes, snow leopard, and pandas. I liked the food a little. We went on two flights, from Minneapolis to Amsterdam and then to Stockholm.

Today we went to the oldest open air museum in the world. They had a zoo area where I got to see a lynx, a wolves, a seal, otters, monkeys, and lemurs. We also got to see glass molding, and he was making tiny glass elephants. I tried a pastry like a sugared pretzel, which I liked. There were lots of old historic buildings and a squirrel playground. I climbed up the leaves and it was really hard to climb up the second leaf. I never made it to the third leaf.

On our way back we got a ferry ride. Then just our family went on a little hike and saw the river and lots of locks on the fence. Mama said they were for people who were engaged or in love. We saw views of the city.

Camps this Week

This week in drama camp we are working on a play. It's called Mop Top. It's from Norway and it is very, very awesome. I get to be a troll girl and mess my hair up as much as I want. Then my costume is green and it looks splattered with mud and I also have a leg band made of green mesh. I get to wear face dirt and black makeup.

This week I also have laser printing camp. I'm the only girl in my class. Yay! Today we are finishing all of our projects including the boxes and the living hinge. I might be able to finish my keychain. It's going to be so awesome!

Apartments

We're moving into an apartment this week. It has two courtyards. It also has a pool. We will be on the inside so that we won't hear as much of the street noise. Whew!

Cabin this weekend

We are going to a cabin this week. It will be fun. I still wish my friend Kiara was here. The cabin isn't in a state park. It's on a lake. My grandparents, an aunt and uncle and my cousins are coming. We're going to go kayaking and canoeing. I'll get to use a kayak all by myself! My sister and I might get to canoe alone.

End of June

Basketball camp ended last week. We had three hours of hard work and three hours of fun (a the same time). We got popsicles each day. It was fun and we got basketball camp shirts. It's a little too big for me right now.

VBS was fun. Water day was also very fun. At water day we didn't get as wet as I expected. I had to wear a wet t-shirt around my neck and carry a sponge over my head but neither got me very wet.

On the weekend we saw the Lion King Jr. It was even more fun. The first one we tried to go to it started raining and storming and we had to run home and I was so tired. We tried the next day indoors.

This week is drama camp. It is a lot of fun. It ends today. I am very very very dad. We get to do a performance in front of our parents which will be fun to show all we've learned. The camp was introduction to improv. There are snacks today. Yum.

Beginning of summer

For memorial day weekend we went to Oma and Opa's. We got to go swimming and I went off the diving board and went down the waterslide. I also got to go to a lot of graduation parties.

After that there teacher meetings and after that my best friend in the entire world came. We went to conquer Ninja warrior, tamarack nature center, the children's museum, punch pizza, hyland park,and lots of playgrounds. We also played Minecraft, made movies, and did a play.

Last week was camp Omega. I got a lot of early mornings and a lot of late nights. Also every night we got to do a campfire where we sang songs and worshiped the Lord. We also played a game called missionary where it was more of a simulation that we were trapped in a country where Christianity was not allowed and we tried not to be captured. We got captured anyway and talked people out of capturing us by telling then about the Lord.

We saw my uncles and aunts and both Omas and Opas last weekend.

This week is VBS at my church and basketball camp.
