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.

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.

Dorian and Sebastian

I'm Dorian. Sebastian is my friend. Actually, he's my brother. Sometimes I swing on our swing we made. And we use some ropes for it... for the swing. Swings are cool.

I love to play in the snow. It's not snowing anymore. It's raining. I heared a thunderstorm last night and I slept through it. It's very loud KA-BOOM! That was a bad dream because it was a big thunderstorm!

I like planting flowers with Mama. We plant daffodils and all kinds of flowers.

That was a really great day being Dorian. We tried to find spring, but we couldn't. But there were signs of spring. I don't know what they were.

I have a class called Little Peoples. My teacher is Nicole and there's Ruthie and Neve and Priya and me, Dorian. I make crafts and all kinds of stuff.

"S" is for Sebastian. I love my brother, Sebastian. He's my great brother in the whole world. But we have a snow fight. And one day we made a snowman called Frosty. And there was a snowman called Frosty at Sugar on Snow. KA-BOOM!

I make silly faces.

That's it. The End!

Fun e i e i o

I'm playing at the water table. It had a great steel nothing. And a few water holdies. Just a couple of boys doin' stuff that's crazier than fun. We blew up pails with water, then dumped it in the water table.
DeeDee is a bootsin bootsin. He's doing a juice stand. I'm going wham! on the dirt.

Scavenger Hunt

I had a scavenger hunt. I had to go to a clue and it showed me where to go but there was a space where I had to know what the word was. My cousins Emily and Erin had a scavenger hunt like this.

I got my first clue inside the house. It led me to the trash can.

Then, I went to a truck. I found another clue there.

Then, that led me to Daddy's car shield.

I think it led me to the stairs. And that led me to the mailbox.

I am up on the porch. Mama, you're down there.

That led me to the garden. I found a clue buried in the dirt.

At last, I went to the water table and I found a box labelled "Treasure"!

Inside was a water gun and a parachute man. On the next picture, Daddy is showing me how to make the parachute man parachute. I was very glad Daddy did this. I had a very great time.

A great kickball season

I'm watering the plants.

[In case you couldn't hear Dorian...

What kind of plants are you watering? These. Do you know what they're called? Yeah. What? Plants.]

Kick! Run, run, run... Poof! Right on first base. Safe! Run back. I'm on home plate. Roll. Kick! I was doing a great game of kickball. Do that sport another day!

Watery world

We are planting stuff. I'm plucking a string. The string is for the peas to climb up. They are "mammoth melting sugar snap peas".
Look at Dorian. He's so silly. I found a baseball bat for him. I found some bocce balls for them. I'm in the garden. I'm putting in some seeds.
I'm playing with toys. I like water. I'm pretending to be the Princess of Water. I'm washing my hands and putting some water in it. Pouring in the water is the best thing I was ever doing.

Hi! Got a new rake! Have you got a new rake?

It's funny, though. I thought I would never get one. First, I wished I had a rake. Second, Oh Boy!
I think I jumped in some sort of pile. Now I'm pulling something. I'm pulling a carpet. I wish it was a magic carpet. They fly.

Spade

I got a spade yesterday. I got it from Sprout. I paid for it with one $20 bill from my birthday money. I got paid back because it didn't cost that much. My spade is for digging.
I'm digging. What job I decided to do when I grow up was road workin'. A road worker digs up the road. I don't know why. I was working on a show in the garden. Dorian's diggin', too. I feel very happy. I feel very happy. I feel very happy. I feel very happy. I was going to make an everything show. The snack was parsley.

Fairy house

I love my fairy house. It's so neat and clean. I builded it myself. Mama got some of the rocks and those flat stones. Those stones were slate. Slate is harder than shale.
Some of the things inside the fairy house are grass, a little yard right next to a garden, and my fairy friends love it! That's where my little sister Tinkerbell's grandfather and grandmother's house is. That curvy thing is a hook where they hang up their coats and their key. Instead-- because it kept falling-- I put the key inside a room instead. And you want to know what the pink-stemmed plants are? They are mushroom plants in their mushroom patch. We take some of their mushrooms for mushroom soup and stew.
The pine cone is their Christmas tree. Their floor is made out of dry moss and grass. In winter, I'll gather up some snow for the winter fairy house.

Cucumbers and fairy

Here are the cucumbers that we thought they were melons.
Here are they served on some cutting board. They tasted good! So I ate all of them. I was sad they weren't melons.
That's me-- a fairy! That was fu-u-u-u-un! My name was Sally and I was this kind of fairy: I was a Raspberry Bush Fairy. I also loved honey and strawberries. I had the first time of honey when I tasted it when I was at the co-op.

Garden

This kind of beetle it looks like is a beetle-ug. A beetle-ug is a very strange lookin' beetle.
My melon plant is too strange to even believe! There are little spiky pods on it. Mama thought they were gonna turn into cucumbers. But I think an organic strawberry pie just for me.

Me and Dorian again; Me and Dorian returned

I'm helping Mama hose the water into the pool.
My face is dutty. Dutty is one word in my Spanish. It means funny.
DeeDee is frowning with the watering can. He's dirty. How we got so dirty is when we were at Stephen and Jason's house. We were playing a lot but one time I just got a prick from a plant or a bee, a wasp or a deer fly.
We're taking a bath in the pool because Mommy wouldn't let us inside. And you know what? Me and Ukiah were doing something. We were having a race in the kiddie pool at Living Memorial Park. And that race was called "The Lucky You Can Race."
That's a flower in our melon plant. And I love flowers so much.

Pea plant! Yay!

I'm pointing at the pea plant. I picked the pea. Snapped it in two halves to share it with my mom. And ate it. Yum yum! It tasted good. There are some flowers out there we discovered. The flowers are gonna turn into the same kind of peas. Sugar snap.

One more radish to be eaten

There was one more radish to be eaten. We didn't know that was there the whole time. It was under the soil. Our radishes did do well. We had a lot of radishes that were done. But there were no radishes for us to eat on there. How many radishes I got to eat were 4. And how many we planted were 26. So they did well by being in the sunshine and being sprayed by water. And sprinkled by it. So what else happened in our garden, there is a pea pod growing and is almost ready to be eaten! We have lots of flowers on our pea plants. What else is growing well is the lettuce. Our melon plants are bit up but they are growing.

Growing

Our garden is growing all
Our radishes are growing tall

Dirty

Me and DeeDee are in the car. We're ready for a bath. We were leaving from Living Memorial Park. We were playing around. I was playing with Riley. I was playing with another nice guy. I don't know his name. Because I never met him. We were playing tag and other games. How we got so dirty is because we were playing in the dirt.
We're outside. Naked. Now we're gonna take a bath. How we were gonna do that is by doing it with the hose. Mama sprayed us. It feeled too cold for me. It was fun but I ran away. I want to do that again another day.

The melon plants grew to the top!

They are growing all the way to the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm touching the cap and the glass. They are good take cared. I was touching the cap to know what it felt like. It felt bumpy and smooth.
I'm putting the melons into the dirt-looking volcano.
I see the melon plants!
My garden's doing well. Lettuce is growing. Sugarsnap peas are growing. And there are Easter egg radishes growing. It could be until two more weeks for it to grow.
Because I'm not wearing a shirt is because I sweated too much. Because I was sweating so much is because I was very hot. The things that made me so hot is because there was a hot, hot, hot, very hot sun.

Fairy house-- my favorite! I love it!

On the day before today, we made our fairy house, which was May 15th. We built it against our garden but it arranged today and we got some fairy dust!

Our fairy house is made out of grass nash, dandelion tops, dandelion stems, rocks and sticks. Grass nash is picked grass. Or moved moss. The dandelion tops were for the couch. The carpet was made of lots and lots and lots of grass nash and some of dandelion stems. The wall was made out of sticks. And the floor was stone and rock.

Dorian is my funniest baby. I just love him so much. He is loving me, too, because I am loving him. He didn't do anything with our fairy house because I told him a very, very good warning about it. The warning was: please do not wreck and knock down and arrange this fairy house because it's not fair.

Today we saw fairy dust made out of glittery stuff. It looks different also because it looks like glitter. So, I think a fairy moved in, but I saw no signs. But Mama told me to look if there were any. So, the fairy dust wasn't a sign, but we saw it. I thought the sign would be there is fairy dust in the fairy house. Go look after it! Yes! But, no! I thought it. I didn't see a sign, but I did see a sign. The fairy dust.
