Winter carnival time

I was picked for the first ride on a dog sled. I felt really good, but kind of sad because Dorian couldn't do it. It was really a fun ride for me and the other kid who went with me. There had to be 2 people per sled. The sleds were really decorated and really cool. I got 4 bags and Dorian got only 2 in the candy chase, so I gave Dorian a bag of candy.

A candy chase is when you try to get this candy. It's outside at Memorial Park. It's on the ground-- the candy is. It's a really fun thing. Last time, I didn't get any candy until some guys gave me some. And me and Sebastian both got to have candy. We got to sled down the hill, of course.

Santa's Land

I am pretending on the sled of Santa's Land. Whee! This is fun! I'm actually sitting on a bench. Silly me!

I'm putting a letter in Santa's mailbox. I wrote "Santa" on it. I think he's getting it out today.

Yummy yummy yum! I love this ice cream. It's chocolate!

Why we went to Santa's Land is I wanted to find all the elves but one of them were missing. It was the one in the elf house. Sebastian and Daddy were at 6 Flags that day. Well, I had fun at Santa's Land, you know. It was really really really fun. Muchy duchy so. It was a really fun day there.



The End. That's it.

The Fourth of July

We were dancing at Lake Spofford. We were dancing on a stump to some music nearby at a house near the beach. It was playing many different songs. It was playing a lot of songs. And here's a movie of us:

At Ben and Laura's house Dad and Sebastian and me were playing pool. And how to play it is: you poke these things at the balls and try to get the numbered balls in the holes. We were also playing Ping Pong which is also known as table tennis. And we were playing it a lot of times.

We found a moth in a cage when we put a caterpillar in it. Allison found the caterpillar. We put the caterpillar in the cage and waited. Then, it made a cocoon. A few days later, we saw the moth pop out which was on the 4th of July.

This is a picture of a basket full of cucumbers, tomatoes and peas. They came from our garden. I ate a cucumber and a tomato for dinner. They were delicious! Mmm-mmm. And those cucumbers are not ordinary cucumbers, they are pickling cucumbers. And it was fun being at Ben and Laura's house on the 4th of July.


The End. That's it.

The Adventures at Mme. Sherri Forest

We went to Mme. Sherri Forest on June 27th, 2009. We saw a lot of fungi and animals there. And we were down at the pond, we were on the rocks, and we pretended the rocks was a spaceship.

We saw a lot of frogs. Here are just a few of them. They were great! Fantastic! They were just hopping around. Some of them were mating, too. What does mating mean? I can't really explain it.

This is Indian pond. I like going with Daddy to the Indian pond. I saw 3 beaver dams. I'm 3!

We are at the Sherri Forest house that broke a little bit. A lot a bit. We were going in the house a lot. We saw a snake in the house. A garter snake. It looked scary. At least it wasn't a king cobra. Cuz those ones really make you die. I liked being at Mme. Sherri Forest.

May fun

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. Between the death of my better camera at the hands of 2 young men and Blogger deciding we were a "spam blog", there hasn't been a whole lot happening in the "Mystery Hours". Allow us to update you on our month...Sebastian launched a rocket. Well, when we were gonna find it, we couldn't find it anywhere. Bob was looking on the roof but we didn't know how he got there, so we asked him and he said, "I put my finger on my nose and blasted up!" "How did you really get up there?" "I pulled myself up."

Mama gave a picture about the radishes and I showed one that I bit while I was eating a cookie. Good cookie. What about the radish? It was dirty so I ate the dirt right off.

The radishes are different colors: red, purple, and white. I really liked them! They were delicious! Just a little bit spicy. It made me jump a little, but they were okay. The radishes were really growing good.

When we went to the river with Lydia, we were going to the West River and then after a little bit, we saw some frog eggs. They felt slimy.

We caught a crawfish. It was cool. I liked looking at its little pincers. Actually I liked every single part of it. If you look closely, you can probably see something that looks like a miniature lobster... that's the crawfish! We thought it wanted some grass and rocks.

We were playing in the pool with Wyatt. We did something fun. We took out all the toys and jumped and dived in. Well, when I was going in sometimes, I had some water from it. I did a couple cannonballs. I did one cannonball. We said funny things when we dived. Like I said, "Farty cookie lookie bookie crookie." I said, "Bookie lookie farting cookie." We had circuit board bathing suits. They were awesome! I thought they were pretty cool. They even had nice magenta dotted lines.

Our trip

We went on a trip. I read books. We drank juice and ate snacks. And ate Mama.

Our first stop was Jamie and Kaci's house. I liked it there. I felt sick.

I'm reading The Pop-up Mice of Mr. Brice. Jamie came over to our house one time.

We went to the Natural History museum. It looks like I'm getting my head eaten off by a dinosaur skeleton. But not really. I'm just standing in front of it. I felt sicker. The Natural History museum is in Washington, DC at the Smithsonian. And we went on escalators.

That's me! That's us. We are in front of the "castle." The weather was really rainy, but now the rain has sort of stopped, but then it rained again after that.

Here's the Washington Monument you see here. That's me! We went to Washington, DC with my grandma.

We're at the Metro station. I thought it was really cool. It had lots of nice lights and escalators and machinery. Definitely lots of that. I just really liked it. I liked going on the trains and going through those stuff and going up the escalators. The place spread with excitement. It means someone spread, like, a jar of excitement jam all over it. It seemed like the future.

We went to Uncle Jack's house for the last house. I liked to call him Uncle Snack. I really liked it. We played music there and slept there and played there. We saw some ponies, real live ponies and... turtles! and egrets. We had some ice cream, too. I had cotton candy party. I had chocolate swirl! It always kept melting. I ate the cone last. They had a floppy frisbee with lots of arms. We played a game with it. How you play is that there's a fan above you and you're trying to throw the frisbee onto the fan. And then you put the fan on and it rains all over the place. When it falls off the spinning fan, you never know where it's gonna land, 'cause every time it lands in a different direction.

I liked going on the trip. It was a good time there.

At Black Mountain

Dorian and Sebastian are watching. There was a mountain from Mimi and Papa's house.
Look it's a really big mountain. Mimi and Papa live there. It's the biggest mountain we could see. It's so far away. This mountain is called Mt. Monadnock. That's a silly name.
Now we see a cool distance.
Now we're on a rock. The dogs were chasing us. How did you feel? Bad. Mad. One of the horrible things I noticed about the dogs is that they were running around us, unleashed. We were scared!

A little entertainment courtesy of Mr. Dorian

There were frog boots. I had them for one minute. But they didn't fit Mama! So I had to try them out. Riley had a pair of those. What do you do with your boot? I talk on it. I was having a nice time with my boots. I found a woolly bear. It was walking onto the grass and the sidewalk. It was very lonely and sad. It couldn't be dead, so it rolled up into a ball.

I had a movie called "Black Socks"-- that's a song.

Black socks, they never get dirty

The longer you wear them,

The blacker they get.

Sometimes, I think I should wash them,

But something inside me

Says don't wash them yet,

Not yet, not yet.

Standing on the fence

There was a pig at the farm. I want to name that pig something yesterday, on Thursday. Mama, it's not Thursday yet when they will tear down the chimney.
Why am I standing there? I don't know. I was standing on a table and saying hello to them. "Hello, pigs!"
I will count them first. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! 10 apples. Oh my gosh! Pumpkins.
We were picking apples. We were going to the cemetery. No. Where were we going there? To the orchard. Oh. But the apple picking is too far away from home.
Sebastian and Dorian. Did you saw ourselves on the computer? Looking at the sheep and I didn't know to get on. Hm.

Where is the wooden apple?

The wooden apple is a prize. We were trying to find it while we were going apple picking.

This is a pig. The pigs are very cute. They were in the pasture this time. The pasture at Dwight Miller Orchards.
They were saying [snorts].
Look at those apple trees!
I am eating an apple. I'm eating an apple.
I'm up in a tree. I got up there to have fun. And this is how I got up there: I put one hand up, then the other hand. I put one knee up, then the other knee. I like climbing trees. Me, too. It's really fun. Yeah... it is.

Putney

We found an orange salamander when we went up to Putney Mountain. I'm trying to catch it.
Look at the elephant tree! It's so big! That's why it's called the elephant tree.
We're at the top now. We're both on a rock. The same one. Guess what we found on the way to the witch's forest? Blackberries!
Look at all the beautiful mountains. One of them is the blue mountain. Can you guess which one it is?

It's a day at the fair!

We went to the Cheshire Fair yesterday.

Me, Lydia, and Dorian are bouncing on the moon bounce.
We are in the roller coaster called the Dragon Wagon. I was scared at first, but I liked it when it went back, forth, back, forth. I was scared and I goed on the top. It's that seat with Lydia. And what happened? Did you have to get off? Yeah.
I'm driving the car. Oh, I wished I could go on that ride. It looked so fun. But I'm too tall. I ride in that car.
I'm eating chips with Sebastian. They're delicious! I love potato chips! Me, too. I goed in the table room. [sings] The table room! The table room! I liked eating them. Especially with Dorian. And what did you drink, Mama? I drank root beer.
I put my hands on my ears. The chickens with Mama. Guess what I was doing? While Dorian and Mama were looking, me and Lydia went fishing.Whee! I like the carousel.

I'm hugging the robot. He told me his name was Robot.

The wonders of water

We're at Mme. Sherri Forest. We caught a lot of tadpoles. In fact, we had a tadpole collection that was a new record. Ukiah was there. He's my friend. His sister, Tallulah, was there with his mother, Megan. We had a fun, roly poly, rockin' bockin' good time.
There's a frog we caught.
I got a tadpole. Tadpoles go to the moon.
I'm in a house. It's a nature house.
This is called a Jack-in-the-Pulpit. It looks cute, doesn't it?
