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.

Robotic Senses

Look at this galaxy. It's the "Bumpy Slide Galaxy" and it is a purple coin comet one.
This is an up-close picture of the Bumpy Slide Galaxy purple coin comet star with Mario on a piece. Does it look like a mess? Well, actually, that's how the Bumpy Slide Galaxy was made. A B C 1 2 3 Funky practice, huh?

CSA day

I like the chickens to eat the grass. I like the chickens to eat the flowers. Oh, no! The chicken's grumpy! Those chickens were funny. But anyway they're going to be killed for people to eat. Oh! I no want to be eaten!
That's nice chicken wire, don't you think?
That's me! I'd like to pretend we're at Green Island. It's a place all green. We're really at Dwight Miller Orchard.
Those are apple flowers. They are apple trees.

The Powerful Tower and the Beautiful Girl

[The boys and I read a book based on the princess and the pea told from the pea's point of view. I asked Sebastian if he would like to retell a fairy tale and he chose to retell Rapunzel from the tower's perspective.]

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful name. It was named to a gray tower. The tower was a little bit of black and white.

I was not being built from 100 years. Some people kept going inside me. A talking pillow went inside me so I would be comfortable. Then a CD player went in and some toys-- even a TV.

I saw a girl named Rapunzel but I had everything for her to be in me but she wanted to bring a science project. I saw a mean face and that meant there was a witch nearby. The witch was going crazy but Rapunzel kept shouting, "There's a bad thing! I see a witch!"

My telephone rang. It was Rapunzel. She said, "Help! Help! I need to be saved! The witch is trying to kill me!" My home was all nature. I grabbed my guitar.

Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was saying, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!" I was too scared to hear that. It was time for me to wait to rescue Rapunzel. I could rescue her by putting down a rope that I had. I'd pull her up here and not leave a ladder and put back the rope and make it invisible. That way the witch could not get up here. I have a hundred ladders made out of vines. I shouldn't use them, but I use them a lot.

The witch is trying to get something to kill her. But I had a pile of swords and shields and protector knight clothes. I feel like a rock, but it's a good thing. I'm getting protected. I'm going to have a battle. I know I would want to chase her out to sea and make her drown, but I can't move, and I don't want to be broken by the water. It's a good thing she's now with me at the seashore. I am very powerful because I am made out of boulders.

If I was in space, I'd scare her to a black hole. But that's no way to do that. But I do have a rocket ship. But I was starving anyway.

I heard the clops of horse hooves. It was the prince! I let Rapunzel down. I said, "Look at this girl. Does she seem good enough for you to marry?" The prince said, "Yes." And they lived happily ever after.

THE END

Let's talk Clinger!

Dorian's sleeping on Daddy. I'm sleeping in Daddy. I was sleeping on Daddy because I'm a Clinger!
We are going for a hike. I'm watching. A rock! Throwing. Splash, splash!
Eating some Chex and raisins. I'm eating a great snack. We're at Indian Pond. I saw some salamanders swimming in the pond. I had a great time.
It's very big! I'm looking. I am a Clinger! A big rock. I don't think Dorian can climb that high, but I was an expert. Dorian is Skeleton the Clinger, I am Harry the Clinger, Daddy is Dan the Clinger and Mama is Charlotte the Clinger. We had a good time walking down. A Clinger is a great chipmunky, ducky, bullfrog thing, some sort of animal that has those kind of animal looking parts mixed in. We have a duckbill and sort of chipmunky looking hair, and we have bullfrog ears. We have skin like a person, we wear clothes and we say, "Rick!" But we say usual words kind of like in a movie of Pooh bear, Tigger doesn't growl, he says, "I am Tigger!"

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!

Games

I made a drawing. It's of a tree. I did it at Pine Street Park. I went there because I wanted to have some fun. With Lydia. Well, at least I didn't know what Lydia was going to come. I had a fun time. I played family. We did something very fun. We were going up, up, up, around and around, and down. I bet maybe some time you can come with your friend.

After are

Bastian's riding a horse. You put some coins in there. One coin and two coin.
I'm seeing the chickens. They are in there in their little home.
They are living in a closet. They are living in a fence. They are going in a fence. They say "cluck!"

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.

Mermaids

[Sorry, we had a lot of technical problems with this one. Hope it was worth the wait.]

Watch this movie. Me and Lydia are being mermaids. We were at the West River.

Bird winner!

The names of the birds are:

1. Blue Jay

2. Purple Finch

3. Brown Finch

4. Goldfinch

5. Bluebird

6. Rose-breasted Grosbeak

7. Red-winged Blackbird

Mimi wins! Thank you to everyone who tried. Cortney, your names were fancy, but if you were going to do stuff on the contest you need to choose real names of what you think they really are.

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.

Making birds

We are making a contest. You have to guess the names of which bird they are. We looked in a Vermont bird book to see which birds we wanted to make.

You have to put your guesses in a comment. Whoever names the most birds correctly wins a great surprising prize! How long you have to do it is until May 2nd.

We were going to make with these birds a bird spinner.

Blogger workout

[Feel free to fire me-- this is the second event in 3 days for which I didn't have my camera. Sorry.]
We went to the Guilford library for an event of a program show and I loved it! I loved it, too! We went on a nature walk and this program show was supposed to have 2 events, but instead, the second event was in the middle of the first event. The first event was great, but the next event was just a whole game. We met a squirrel named "Squirrely Okie-Dokie Smith" who was a baby and she was so cute. And saw was drinking some milk. And we built something. A nest! We used mud, sticks, leaves, and even grass and hay. And even water! That's not true, he just thought it was made with water. We also had the game which was pretending squirrels where we pretended we were squirrels. I was Squirrely, another boy was the mom, and another boy was the dad. We had such a grand time.
Then, a picnic lunch it was. We ate and ate until we were full. The second program was about bugs. We looked at rocks to see if there were any water bugs on it. This was at a river. That was a special blogger workout.

Old science, mad science, scientific mecha-works

We went to Open Gym. We saw some scientific works today on Mad Science. We saw a show. And there was a mad scientist named "Cosmic Kate" when she did her work. We saw some sneezes. And we were volunteered. When we were volunteered, me and Dorian held a plunger with some toilet paper on it. Just me and little DeeDee. We held both ends and then Cosmic Kate blew some air aiming at the toilet paper. It was a very loud noise. And at the end of it, Mama was all covered in toilet paper. I'm pulling the black part.

Baseball team and a rolla theme

We're at a park. It's the Dummerston one. We went there to play. It was a very exciting time.

I'm out to pitch. But Dorian's the one who has hit his first ball.
I'm pitching to Daddy. I did a really good job.

This will be a great movie for you. I'm flying a kite in this one. The kite's from Dustin and Cortney.

This is another great movie. Dorian's scooting and then he runs away.

This one is when I'm running to first base and Daddy is so amazed with all my work!

Crazy hike

We went to the Chesterfield Gorge. We had a good time there. But the craziest part was throwing rocks into the river.
That's a biiiiiiiigg waterfall. I like it.
I'm on a rock. This is my top model pose for today.
Right here, Daddy and DeeDee are walking across a bridge. We had a wonderful time. Even when Mama scared me. But anyway, I scared her back, so that didn't matter. Come here soon!

I'm doing tennis

Bastian's doing tennis, too. And Mama's doing tennis, too. I throw the ball at Bastian.
Three letters, three letters! I writing a letters.

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

I hope no jump and climb today

At the end of this Jump and Climb visit was bad. But at the rest, I did fine. I jump on a tumble trak. Mama even showed me the waiting room. My class is about climbing rock walls and bouncing on trampolines. I love it!

The teeter totter seesaw beebah bee all the doodah day

This will be a great movie for you. But it seems more exciting when Dorian starts screaming.

[Please note that no children were harmed during the filming of this video.]

No plants, just poetry in nowhere

It's April, the poetry season. Turn into a poet, you'll be all ready.

The Seasons of Summer

I didn't really remember
That August came before September.
I seem to see
That now with a bee
That August comes before September.

No plants, just poetry in nowhereland.

I made a simple picture

I started out by gluing on eggs. They were blue eggs, robin's eggs.
I make a "c". I make a flying v and another "c" and a "g".
After I put on the eggs, then I put on the nest. The nest is made out of yarn. I put that on by gluing it.
I glued on some yarn. Glue. It made out of brown.
Then I put on a robin, then ourselves saying "Wow" and the robin redbreast was flying to get a worm, for an egg was shaking and tipped over. That's because the biggest baby was in there trying to get out. The worm's just crawling around, scooting. Scoot Scoot!

Maps

We made a pirate map. I mostly see a ship, islands, mermaids and more. I was drawing stuff, but it's too hard to explain.
What can you see? Can you see islands? Can you see a pirate ship? Can you see a whale? There's even a sea serpent. I would like to be a pirate. Only pretending, haha.

An orchestra played

An orchestra played for me at the Latchis Theatre. The movie place, one of them, has now turned into a concert hall. I heard Mozart and Ferdinand the Bull.

The Mozart made me think about flowers blooming, butterflies, and me being Pooh bear.

Ferdinand the Bull was nice. I knew that story already because I had the book. They performed it nice and clearly. I bet they took some practice.

I think Mozart was the overture.

I sit in a chair. I sit on your lap. A orchestra. It say, "Booba boo." I kicked a chair. I'm clapping. Clap your hands! Stomp your feet! Jump in the air!

Title, title, I don't know weirdos

We were making weirdos and monsters. We were using Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Weirdos. I was drawing the devil, Godzilla, and a goblin.
Here's the close-up of what I drew. It is called "Hell."

Look. Mama made a skeleton, a goblin and a baby one, a devil and a vampire bat.

I'm painting and this experiment is called "Crayon Resist"

I'm painting! We first drew with crayons. Then, we painted with watercolor paints.
Look at my painting! It's beautiful, isn't it?
When we paint over top of the crayon, it resists.
I'm doing the painting. I make some, uh, a hot dog. Spirals! I made some holes. I made a pit. I made some circles around the tooch. What's a tooch? It's kind of a booch, like a strawberry, like a "v".
