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!

When we were going

At the tree farm when we saw the little too much rain. We saw lots of really high trees.
I am standing on a big stump with one foot on a high part and one foot on a low part. My pose is called "the Flinc." I look like a duck quacker.

Now we're by our Christmas tree. We didn't bring our Christmas tree home today. I can't wait for Christmas. It sort of started to rain, so we put our hoods on. We're going to get our Christmas tree by carrying it on the car in December. And a farmer named Bill is going to cut it down for us.

Now we're in a labyrinth. And we're sitting in the middle of a rock in the middle of the labyrinth. We knew where to walk by following the path. But we saw animal holes, so that was not very nice.

The West River with Riley... and Davy!

This is a really big leaf! It's giant! Just crazy! I found them. [These leaves were an amazing 12 inches wide!]
There were Sebastian and me were climbing up. We said, "Who is in the water fishing for leaves?" and "Who is in the water mixing their paints?" There you go, fish!

We were saying, "There you go, fish!" when we were fishing for leaves. We also said, "Bad fish!" and "Stay right there, fish! Don't flip one fin!"

There were all kind of stuff were in the rocks. In the weasel you won't get to me, bubble! When I felled in the water, I was all too wet. Put a towel on me. But Mama didn't have one, so Amanda gave me one. So Amanda got me one. Good. Then we are going to our house again.

Now we're throwing rocks into the water from so high.

Leaf peeping peepy peep

We're raking leaves because we want to make a big pile to jump in.
I'm carrying leaves over to the leaf pile.
I'm bringing some leaves, too.

The leaves are flying high in the air. We cannot help it. We just keep jumping.

This movie is about jumping in the leaves. Find out more to see about the 3 names and different kinds of leaves.

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?

The big hike

We found blueberries. We ate them. We were at Black Mountain. These were wild blueberries.
We had a nice day.
I'm playing at the top, I think, where it's nice and rocky. My teeth and lips are blue because I was eating so much blueberries.
Look at the top view!
Wow! I can't believe how many mushrooms those were! There are 12 mushrooms.

These are some flowers and more

[You may click on the individual images to enlarge.]

See that pink flower? That's a rose. The next one is a rainbow flower. Next, the cotton. It used to be the first prize cotton. Next, the cream flower. Next, root. And, now, last, the egg flower.
Look! Look at all these cuties! PacMan, Inky, the cute periscope, her friend the zigzagger, too.
This one may look good. Do you like it? The zigzagger, his friend the periscope, Inky, PacMan, Mr. Electronics, Mrs. TV and Robot the robot.
Coming up... the White Pants! These are the CDs: Vol.1-- Heaven and Me, Vol.2-- Hey!, and Vol.3-- Fireworks.
Coming soon... Come to the White Pants' concert! I made these 3 dimensional pictures.

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?

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.

Thebama fama

Our plan was for today was to go for a nice nature walk. We also had to make a journal. I was wandering across the river when I thought we'd have some fun. We were looking for signs of Spring at the West River and the Retreat Meadows. That's a picture of me yelling. I'm holding my net. We were using it for catching things like frogs. We didn't see any frogs.
This is a picture of a water bug.
These are some seed pods. The difference between both of the seed pods is that one is cracked and one is not. The cracked one had little seeds in it that flew away. The gray one in Mama's hand had an egg of a little bug.

Signs of Spring

1. the bee
2. the geese
3. green buds and plants
4. all the water rushing
5. the missing ice and snow
