Summer Vacation

It's good-bye for now! Our last day of school is tomorrow. Then we're off on summer vacation. Many of us are moving up to another class as fifth graders, but the rest of us will be in Mrs. Handy's class again next year as fourth graders. Talk to you then!

Time with Abbey

On Thursday, I went home with Abbey. She and her brother were going to sleep outside in a tent on Saturday, but it did not work out. Abbey got scared because she heard weird noises coming from the basement. We watched the lightning and thunder that night and counted right after the lightning until the thunder started. Then we knew how far it was from us. One time, it was seven miles away. I got scared!

Laura and Me

May 19, 2008

The fresh, mountain air. The cool breeze hitting my cheek as I swung back and forth. I went home today with Laura. She has soft and gentle blue eyes. She also has freckles that run across her face. She has two brothers. Allan is twenty years old, and is twice Laura's age. The other one is named Josh. He is twenty-five years old, and the oldest. He is a quarter of a century old! Laura's mom is very short and is a health assistant at a school. Her dad has two of the dirtiest jobs in the world! He and Josh are volunteer fire fighters. And Laura's brothers help her dad in logging. Laura has a sister that is in college, studying to be a nurse. She has a lot of homework. I've been thinking that the more homework the better! I've heard that she is kind of bossy. She is twenty-three years old.

May 21, 2008

After school, Laura took me to a softball game. Her team won, 8 to 1! After that we all went home and Laura did her homework. Then she told me that tomorrow another kid would have me. I started to cry. Then Laura wiped away my tears and said that it would be all right. To cheer me up, we grabbed some hot chocolate and watched tv. I think I'll miss Laura the most!

Megan and I

May 15

First, Megan and I went home from school. Then we played outside on the play structure. Then we made popsicle with just pop and put them in the refrigerator. After dinner, we had to go to bed.

May 16

Megan woke me up and then we cooked. Then we helped her dad paint. For the rest of the weekend we had to paint. It was fun. We got a little tanned when it was so beautiful outside. It was the best weekend!

May 19

When we woke up and got dressed Megan said it was time to go to school. Then I went back to Mrs. Handy.

Track, Dogs, and Fun

May 12

When Alyssa walked out ot the school building, she, Leila, Sascha, Ella, and Kali (Alyssa's twin) got on the bus because Leila's mom was going to take them to track practice. Leila, Sascha, and Alyssa all sat with me in one seat (smoosh)! When we got to Leila's house, we jumped on the trampoline and changed. Then, we were ready to go. Oh yea! I almost forgot! I met Cholee and Foster, Leila's dogs. Almost everybody at track did six 200s (halfway around the track) and three perimeters! That's a lot of running! When track was over, we went home and had dinner. When Alyssa went into the shower, she gave me to Myah, her little sister. Now, she's my official babysitter and my best buddy!

May 13

I woke at 6:15 in Myah's arms. Oohh! Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was on. My favorite show! I think that I'm going to have fun today! While Alyssa was at school, Myah and I read books and drew, and I took long naps. I also played super heroes! When Alyssa got home, I was taking a nap and dreaming of cheese and crackers. When I got up I got a snack. Not cheese and crackers, but just as good.

May 14

Today was a great day! A very great sunny day! I was having fun with Myah, Alyssa, Kali, and Brutus (Alyssa's dog). I've met a lot of dogs this week!

Happy Feet visits Lara's House

Lara's house was awesome. She had lots of rooms for me to stay in, she even made me a big round bed, with pillows in it. I got to jump around her bedroom because it was so big a dozen people could fit into it.
She also took me to the hydroslide. It was really fun. After that we went to the beach. I was the first one in the water, it was really, really warm. When we got home we had a BBQ. I had a beer, and it was yummy. Then we went to bed.
