Getting ready for Halloween

I was carving my pumpkin in the dining room. It was very great and then mom did it again. My whole family is me, Dorian, Allison, Sebastian and Jeremy. Sebastian made a pumpkin, too. Sebastian's one was smaller than mine. I like making pumpkins! Very great.


My pumpkin is named "Guy Smiley." Tonight, Trick or Treat!

I liked carving my pumpkin. I liked it because Dad was helping me out and I got to learn a lot of cool stuff about how to carve your pumpkin. For example, he taught me how to saw with the kiddie knife.


My pumpkin is named "Sicko" 'cause he's always sick. Because everywhere he goes he suddenly gets ill from a bunch of diseases. I was gonna add a bunch of flesh coming out of its mouth so it would look like it was puking. I'm gonna do that to make it really look sick right before we go Trick or Treating.

Happy Halloween!

Dancing, and how to make racing snails in a few small and easy steps

First, get an about 40cm wooden board (or 16 inches if you like to measure it differently). Then, color it green with oil pastels.

Then get all the parts you see on this picture (sorry, we forgot to put a spool of wire in this photo, but if you don't have any you can get some).

Then, you remember those steel cable straps from the last picture, don't you? Well, those are for the snail bodies. But we'll get back to that later. Now, you have to put one of those straps onto a part of the board-- any part you like. Also, you can put them in any order. Now, get 3 lock nuts and punch holes in some safety tape and stick them onto the lock nuts. (Two on each one.) And put dots on them to make eyes. Then screw a metal washer onto each of the lock nuts but don't start screwing until you have put on a wing nut on top of it to make antennae. After that the final thing in this step is to twist in with a wrench a screw eyelet on the opposite side of the cable strap.

Next, put a small silver bell inside the small snail. But you can put in a gold one if it fits. Tie it on with wire. Then, put some nail polish over the knot. For the bigger ones, color some metal washers on one of them and use at least three. Then, do the same thing with the wire and nail polish. Finally, find a small aluminum disc and do the exact same thing once again with the wire and nail polish. The bell will ring when the wind comes. Also when the wind comes, the aluminum disc will spin and the washers will clang together.

The snails are gonna be really cool as soon as you make them. Making it is fun! And it's also fun to look at them and enjoy it. Now here's a cool movie about Dorian dancing:



I love doing dancing movies! They're really good. Mom makes movies of me doing the dance moves on the camera. I saw it. It was a good dance move. It's really good doing dance moves on my movies. It's a good dance move and it makes you good exercise. It's great when you really have energy-- a lot of energy-- you're really good to make you play outside for a little time. It makes me good and feel cozy. I like it!

My field trip

One day, I went to a field trip at Green Mountain Orchard and we got to have a hay ride.

It was fun! The hay ride went all around the farm. Yes, it did! It was a fun ride. I got to sit next to Jack. After the hay ride, we got to have snack. It was apple cider to drink and cider doughnuts. They were really good. Well, I didn't want to really drink the cider, so Emmett's mom threw it in the grass. Then it was great.
I love picking apples. We picked some on the field trip, you know. I liked picking the apples for the apple pie.


It was great. Yummy yum yum yum. I love apples!
