Saturday

Guess what? On this Saturday, at Open Gym, downstairs, way downstairs, Santa is going to be there! I'm so brave, I'll just hop right up on his lap. And he might be giving me a candy cane. I'm going to give him my list of presents I want. The list is going to have a new set of play tools. I don't remember the other 2. But I really want lots and lots of presents, but I don't know which ones I want.

And we're also setting up our decorations! The white Christmas tree and our Christmas lights will be put up in our room. But the lights will be outside.

Animusic 1

I love this movie. I think I've watched it about 8 or 16 times. My favorite songs are each one. They are called: Future Retro, Stick Figures, Aqua Harp, Drum Machine, Pipe Dream, Acoustic Curves, and Harmonic Voltage.
It's so fun to watch, I almost never want to watch anything else.
Dorian calls it "Inamusic". He calls them "robop drums." And "robop guitars" or "robop horns." I like best about this that it's so pop and rock n roll and stuff, that I just like those types of music.

Post office. No!

The kids took over the camera today.

Mama's panting for breath. Because she has that "wind" in her. I don't know what that means, but I don't think it's true. It is true.

Mama's pitcher. It's ready to go. I have a computer. She's have a computer, too. I'm a comtooter. Computer.

That's the Case of the Secret Scribbler. I liked it. I didn't finish reading it yet. There are 14 chapters.

Books for tata. Dorian's at the sink. I took that picture. I took the last 2 pictures, too.

Dorian in there. Go Mimi's house. Door. Yeah, I make a door for me at dat house. At Mimi's house.

I took this picture. I had some of those crackers for my snack lunch a few days ago. Or maybe tomorrow. Oh no, or maybe yesterday.

Crackers! I have some crackers.

That's myself. I look very funny. I'm sitting and reading, I bet. I'm in my hideout.

Look at Bastian. He close his eyes. Ting tong!

Blah! I like Open Gym!

I'm riding the tricycle. I'm at Open Gym. It's just downtown. It is a fun house because right up there in that room is a fun room. They have a few new stuff, but some old things. They have a motorcycle, the same tricycle, and of course they have a little birdie garden stuff house.
Dorian's in the house. Look at his face! Haha.
There's me and Zoe in the fire truck. I drive in the fire truck. I push the yellow siren button.
There's DeeDee goin' fast down the slide.

We're lookin' for Blue's Clues

I'm looking excitedly at the microphone. Because I woke up with a pleasant feeling. I knew that Rock Band was just one day after. And I couldn't wait. I was so excited, I just felt so pleasant, I couldn't believe my ears. And right in the night, I couldn't believe my eyes, either, because there was something circular right on my microphone. I tiptoed to it! It was a piece of paper. I tried to rip it off!!!! It didn't do it so well, it was taped. And suddenly, it was a clue!!!
I'm sitting on the guitar case. And I also found a clue there in the morning. And the last clue I found in the bedroom in the morning was a drumset. What I did when I found all the clues was first, draw the clue in my handy, dandy notebook. And then, I ran to my thinking chair. And I thought about what Blue wanted to do on that day. And suddenly I thought that she wanted to play Rock Band. The end.

Rock Band

I'm playing drums. Those are not real drums. They're just drums for a game called Rock Band.
I'm playing the bass. The character names were: Hott Mama (which Mama choosed), I chose myself to be called (and the people who were playing the drums) Joy Volume, and the great bass star was D. D. Buggg, and there was Daddy (and the people who were playing the guitar) called Buff Meatchest. The band name was called "Clearwater Explorers."
My favorite song I played was "I Think I'm Paranoid" by Garbage. I wanted Rock Band for Christmas 'cause it's so fun. We played it at Dustin and Cortney's.

Thanksgiving # 02

I liked Thanksgiving. Lydia, her family, and my grandmother, Mimi, came over. This is one of her pictures. I cooked pumpkin pie. We also made bread. We had to let it rise! And after it rose, it was all stiff, so we punched it. We basted and heated our frozen turkey. It wasn't frozen when we put it in the oven. Oh my!!! And I just ate turkey and bread for lunch. But there were many more things on my plate. I sat with Lydia and my brother, Dorian. And after lunch, we played. And there was a concert. It was The White Pants. I loved Thanksgiving. We should have it again next year.

I in the chair. What did you have to eat, Dorian? Pumpkin pie. I have one and you're have one and Daddy have one and Bastian have one and mmmhmmm Dorian's have one. I kanga kangaroo. Do you have anything else to say? Pumpkin pie.

Sebastian and Dorian shop

We were shopping for people who didn't have enough food. And stuff for the bathroom. We bought juice, canned fruit, and noodles. Toothpaste, toilet paper and soap and shampoo. We got some chili and cornbread mix. And mac and cheese. Peanut butter, cereal, tuna fish, raisins, oats. Then we put it to the food bank at the Drop In Center. We give it to people at the Drop In Center and they give it to people that don't have enough food. We gave them stuff for Thanksgiving and other times. We got them before toys and clothes. Please-- You! and you!-- give them some food, too.

What did you do, Dorian? Giving. To people's house.

[Ed. note: Demand in our area went up by 25% this year. Not to be too preachy, but everyone's help is needed and we urge you to support your local food bank with either money or physical donations. The woman we spoke to today said what they need the most is peanut butter, toilet paper, and diapers.]

Winter-Fall

It's snowing outside! And freezing and raining! I'm walkin'. I was excited, but tired. We walked to playgroup in the snow. I liked it, walking in the snow. It was hard.
Do you like the snow? Yeah. I goed back home. I went back home, too. I liked wearing my winter gear. I wore snow pants, a coat, gloves and a scarf, a hat, and snow boots. And snow. I got all snowy.

Dorian

There's Dorian in the house. Who built this house? Me! And Daddy! And me!
Uh oh! The blocks! Me!
Dorian! In the blocks! Hahaha! Crash!

Thanksgiving

Yesterday we made our Thanksgiving tree. We did it by writing one thing on the leaves and putting them on the tree. We were writing things we were being thankful for. We were thankful for a lot of things. Dorian is thankful for only tractors and he made one himself. It said "Bllablathblah"-- it didn't make any sense. It was kind of more like a scribble. I was thankful for candy, our keyboard, 2 good parents, Vermont, Peep and the Big Wide World, flowers and strawberries, working, food, green, myself, apples and pears, and my birthday, instruments. What are you thankful for? Leave a comment for it.

Movies

I went to see a movie today. It was called Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. I went with my friend Lydia. It was about a crazy toy store. Almost everything was magical, so that many toys could've moved. One character was named Henry and he was a worker. There was a kid named Eric. And a woman and a man named Mr. Magorium. There was a magical book and an octopus squid thing came out of it. There was a sad part after Mr. Magorium died. I think Lydia liked it. Of course, I liked it! I think the movie would be good for all ages because it is so funny! I had popcorn and rootbeer. And a little ear chocolate. I got a bad day because I had a bad attitude.

Phit!

Phit is a game. I liked playing it. The game, how you play it, is that you have to make a shape with these connected blocks. You have to click the block and drag it to a little yellow box to make a shape. When you use up all the kind of shapes and you are wrong, you have to reset. I got up to level 15. Mama did 3 or 4 for me.

Excavating the rock!

I have a big rock. I got it in a little kit from Quinn and Rob. I'm hammering and filing it.
Now, I'm using a chisel.
Now, I'm breaking the rock into tiny pieces. I'm using a chisel to excavate.
Now I'm using a brush to wipe the dust off the crystal. Then, I went to the bathroom and washed it in the bathroom sink, then dried it on a little towel. It was amethyst. Five crystals can come from the rock from the 16 kinds you can find. 16 crystals can be available. But you'll find 5 in the rock. The one I'm hoping I'll find is the beautifulest to me: rose quartz. And tiger eye.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

I read this today. I got it from the library. It's as long as 18 chapters!

Fantastic Mr. Fox is trying to get saved because three nasty farmers are trying to kill him. So, he digs down deep under the ground. Well, he helps Badger and the smallest of his four children (just one of them). He helps them by sneaking into each of the three farmers' farms and gets everything they need ready for their party. They are having a party with food and lots and lots of exciting stuff. I think.

My favorite part of the story was the beginning. And the middle. He was funny when he was trying to dig and the farmers were digging, too. The hill got crazier looking and crazier.

I liked it because some pictures looked funny like that cover. I really like Roald Dahl. He also writed The Magic Finger that I liked. I would give this book to 7 stars.

My kitty hat and the berry hat

What are you guys wearing around your necks? Noculars. So we could see farther. I had a compass, too. We were at Pisgah State Park. [That's Mt. Monadnock in the distance.]
I'm looking at my compass. It's telling me where I am. I'm a bit North, I think.
Oh! The leaves! Bastian's jumping. Oh! The leaves! Dorian's jumping. We built this pile of leaves at Pisgah State Park. We didn't go for a walk because I didn't want to. Because I was too tired. I was scared of hunters, too.
I threw all the leaves in the air. I had a good time. I said to Dorian, "Jumping in leaves is piles of fun!" That's from Toot and Puddle: The New Friend.

Dressin' up!

Dressing up makes me feel happy.

We're getting married! That's me and Lydia. Lydia is the person right next to me. She is my girlfriend. You know, Lydia is Lydia. I'm wearing a pretty prince dress and a special black hairdude (that's what Lydia calls hairdos) and some safety goggles for glasses. Lydia's wearing a great strong, red hairdude and holding 2 bunches of flowers, a pretty yellow dress and nice magical dust that she makes from her hands. Princess Lydia! Prince Sebastian!

I'm a superhero! I'm just Sebastian Montfort Paquette. I have no super powers. I'm wearing a blue silk cape and glasses.
That's both of us. We're both superheroes. Dorian, do you have a superhero name? No, my name's "Glasses."

Bump Bump Bumpety Bump

Well, once upon a time
I was climbing
On top of a rock
and then--
Bump!
And then
I climbed off.
But suddenly
I knew there was
Something
Under it and I peeked under it.
Nothing
Was there.
So, again I climbed on top of it.
And suddenly again--
Bump!
I climbed off and
Looked on top of the rock
And I saw that there was a
Sea turtle
On the top
And it was jumping!

I'm gonna make a guitar

I'm making a guitar. It was my birthday and I was still wearing my pajamas. I got dressed about before time for lunch. (I still knew it.) "HUH!!!!!!"

C-c-c-cut him off!! War!! 912,690,287,11-teen,1924 in 7756,3479,fine dice!!

Bike 02

I got a new bike today. It was just about this morning. I found it in the music room, it was that room with the toolbench. I thought it was wonderful! I love it! Grandma gave it to me.
I took this picture. I like the color red. It has a bell right next to the right handlebar.
I went for a bike ride this morning. It went very good. It's a comfortable bike.

Watch out! Don't forget it's my birthday! Bow bow!

We're eating lunch at my house for my birthday and Dorian's birthday. It isn't really our birthday. My birthday is November 6th. Dorian's birthday is November 10th. We were on our birthday party. I invited a lot of friends. I can't really say all of them. I don't really have time. I had Riley, David, Lydia! There's the White Pants!!!!! The White Pants is me, Lydia, Dorian and Daddy. We played 7 songs.Dorian's playing keyboards.
Lydia was singing and a guitarist. I was a guitarist, I sang a little bit of vocals and played drums. Daddy played drums and guitar. Dorian played keyboards. It was a great band!
We're playing with our toy noses. Those came from our goodie bags from iParty. The bags weren't from iParty, the noses were from iParty. I got a lot of presents. I remember a telescope, a camera, an autoharp and a toolbench. I remember some blue silk from Riley and a star planetarium from Lydia.

In the spooooooky forest...

First, we were just going out from our house for the night of Halloween. So, there was one thing I didn't like which is that it was a spooky house. One room had the silliest thing I've ever seen: a werewolf watching TV. Hahaha. The room right next to it had a steaming white thing spreading all over the room. In the kitchen it was a bit less foggier. Then, we got sent into the spooooooky forest. The lady said something very nice before we went into the spooooky forest which is she said, "This is the most polite boy I've heard." That made me feel very good. My favorite candies that I got were Twizzlers, CherryHeads, and I even got some RedHots at Daddy's work. Nothing scared me except that house.

One man played a trick on me. The trick was that he joked that his dog was his daughter in a dog costume. But it wasn't really.

NeverNeverland

Tinkerbell and Peter Pan were a big hit around town yesterday. First, they visited Walker Farm for candy and mini pumpkins. Then, a trip around the cubicles at New Chapter reaped many rewards. Finally, a stop at Altiplano and Turn It Up! topped off the goodie bags. And they hadn't even gone trick-or-treating yet!
Wendy and John joined the magical pixies for trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, when their goodie bags were filled for the second time. Tinkerbell declined to be interviewed regarding this experience.
