Tiring nature walk

I wanted to go for a nature walk. So we went to the cemetery down the hill.
This is a picture of a log with icicles hanging from it. Maybe the sap was why it made them that color. Or maybe they filled them with maple syrup. Or with candy!
These were some tracks. I think it might be a kangaroo or a rabbit.
I don't know which animal made the one that looked like a hand. I bet it is a raccoon.

Let's hit the road, toad!

I'm making a crown for Cassidy. Because that was the decision chosen for the present. I need to give her a present for her birthday party. Her birthday is going to be at the Build-a bear workshop. We're going to make our own bear at the Holyoke Mall. When we're done, we're going to eat at Friendly's.
I'm helping make the bottom straight.
I'm wearing the crown on my head. I decorated it with 2 hearts and a "C" for Cassidy and some special rainbow thread.

The story of how the knight got here

Once upon a time, there was a place called Yonder Mountain. They built a giant peak and halfway down the other side, there was a house built. All of a sudden, there was a baby. The baby came from underground. It sprouted out, came out, put on some ragged knight clothes, got a sword and a net and went over the three hills leading to Yonder Mountain.
His name was Dan. He was the Knight of Goodness. Here is a picture of him posing in his house with some friends visiting.
Here are some of his adventures:

Once upon a time, he was with Super Mario, but when he saw a baseball show on TV, he time warped small and went onto Winnie the Pooh. Pooh said, "Who? Who is on me?" BOING! Now, Pooh didn't really notice since Dan had almost shrank to the size of a flea, but when Pooh Bear had fluffed his ears up, he heard the call, "I'm a knight!"
The End


Piglet was out sweeping his walk when Tigger pounced him and did they see somebody appear flat? "You also pounced me, Tigger," said Dan. "Who are you?" said Tigger. "It's me, Dan," he said.
The End

Once upon a time, there was a music basket. It was full of musical instruments. When someone blew the trumpet one time, out popped a surely Viking looking person. But it was not only a Viking person, it was actually a knight all dressed in fabric. He was named Dan when a mother saw him, but when the father saw what she said, he didn't agree. "I think he should be named 'Bob'," said he. But when the knight heard this, he thought that Dan was the perfect name, so he told the mother that Dan was the perfect name for him. And he lived happily ever after.
The End

Thumbprints on the roll

We got a book for using of thumbprints. I don't really remember what it's called. [Ed Emberley's Great Funprint Drawing Book] It was great! We make a thumbprint by putting a thumb into a colored stamp pad, push it down, and write down the other designs that should be made with a pen.
I made a scared elephant, a happy man, a frog, and a spider! [right to left]

Easter

While Sebastian and Dorian were brushing their teeth with Daddy, I heard a hopping sound and then the door slammed. When I went to investigate, we realized the Easter bunny had come and hidden some eggs! Every single picture I took of the egg hunt looked like this one-- a blur resembling Sebastian, with Dorian schlepping the basket full of eggs.
Holding his Easter bunny, Dolly.

Even when I asked him to hold still, he was blurry. Too much excitement!
Dorian! Eggs! A basket full of eggs.

Pinch pots, pinch pots, made from everywhere

We had made a special clay of a little dough made with about flour and salt. Then we rolled it into a ball, poked a hole in it and pinched it bigger. These are the pinch pots before we put them in the oven. Mine was a little blown out the sides like a flower, but I didn't want it that way.
Yay! It's time to paint! I'm painting my pinch pot. One pinch pot for me. One pinch pot for Bastian and one pinch pot for Mama.
I'm peeking and grinning in a funny way. Here are the painted pinch pots. See that one with the blue on the top? That's upside down.

I wanted to open my very own pottery store like Rob's.

The Theme of Dorian and Sebastian

I look like a movie star! Look at me!
My eyes are dark. My eyes are darker again. We just watched something on the movie like Giants "Here Come the ABCs."

Puddle Art

The first step was to fold some paper. I folded it by putting one side over the other, flattening it down. You grownups must know how to fold in half. I did it. Then I open it and it's like a card and I put paint on one side.
I put many drops of paint on.
Now we're flattening it down. We're putting our hands and rubbing them all over the place.
Now we made a big paint surprise! My picture (center) was called "Freddi Fish and the Water Bumblebees." Dorian (right): his was called "Putt Putt goes at the Moon."
I made blue and black and red and a sun and yellow and blue. It's like a dragon. Or actually a bat. It's a bat now? I made a bat. Look! If you go on a Mario game, you'll see this face on Bowser.

I liked doing the puddle art. And me, too. I made a puddle art, too.

My special songs

Those musical kids are at it again.
First, Sebastian plays some music from a videogame.

Then, Dorian sings "Baa Baa Black Sheep" with a few reminders from me.

The experiments of paper

I'm weaving paper. You make patterns. You just put it over and under, over and under. Or under and over, under and over.
I'm weaving paper. I didn't do it so well. Yes, you did, Dorian. No, I didn't so well.
Look at our mural! Do you love it? Thank you. We drew a pond, a bird, ladybugs, our house, cattails and oh so much more. We used crayons, 10 twist up crayons, and colored pencils and pens.

Magnet experiment

See these magnets? Well, this paper maybe says how the thing can move or stay. That means that the magnets attract or repel. If it's north and south or south and north, then it will attract. It repels if it's south and south or north and north.
I was trying to make it repel by making the ring magnet float.

And on another experiment of the same magnet one, I got 10 little objects and I tested them to see if they were magnetic. Only the lunch box was. It was made out of metal. I even checked my sword, a boat, a ball, and many, many others. And the ones they were made out of that weren't magnetic were wood, glass, plastic, paper and even cardboard.

I am a pirate and Dorian's an artist

I'm sailing away in a sailboat. I'm dressed up as a pirate. I'm holding a sword. The sword came from my house. It was me and Daddy who made it. I made it with tape and cardboard. Did you grow that moustache? No, I got it drawn. But I did pretend that I grew it. I think I was pretending to sail to an island.
I am painting a picture of Animusic 2 and Animusic 1. Green and black and yellow and green and red.

This is so fun! I love pouring works!

Jumping in puddles!

I'm standing in the puddles. With Bastian.
My pants are all wet.
Splash! Dah Dah! The blog's all done.

I am Tinkerbell-- la la lalafa fa

Here I am stepping on the woodland trying to make a project. I'm wearing my posing shoes.
Now I'm outside. I was carving wood outside. I like being outside. And I'd rather see a sport than be tired.
Now I'm doing my snow journal. We're on the porch. It's not impossible. It really happened. I was writing about snow and drawing pictures of things I like to do in the snow.

Family Fun Day Animusic Images

I'm at the Family Fun Day. The person behind me looks like Aidan, but it may be Ukiah. I go inside the sea serpent, I race, and I even bounce and slide.
Me and Riley are climbing and racing. That's at the obstacle course.
We're getting near the end. Who will win? Who knows? It's a tie!
Now we're playing on the pirate ship. My favorite thing to go on was everything. And my favorite person who was there was because I saw Paige! Paige is my favorite person from Little Peoples camp. I'm going to another camp this summer and we're gonna throw bow and arrows at a target and go swimming. What fun!

Just One Day and One Night, pt. 5

Chapter 5

Funny End of the Day

They weren't so good. I'm talking about these keyboards that wouldn't work. I couldn't believe my eyes! I was in a music store and none of the keyboards work. Suddenly, one worked!
Then I went home again. And I played my bass guitar. I forgot that it was out of tune. Then all of my instruments didn't work because they haven't worked in 3,000 years.
I was skateboarding and ALL OF A SUDDEN... who should I see flying back to me, but the allosaurus in a helicopter!
The allosaurus jumped out and said, "Whew, my friend, you look older." And I said, "Yes, I'm 19 years old."
He got out his toolbox, got out his tools, and began fixing the instruments. I was skateboarding in my band room and waiting for my friends to come play in the band.
