King of the Roof

Snowmen  Snowman on roof FallenYesterday we a snowball fight. It was over our garage roof. Then Mark got the ladder and climbed up on the roof and started throwing snowballs at me.

He said, “let’s make a snowman on the roof to be silly, and then one on the ground like it had been pushed off, like Calvin and Hobbes does.” So we did!

We have the funniest snowman in the neighborhood!

Photo Contest Pictures

We are trying to finish contest pictures. I have four, but I can’t decide which three I should put in. Which ones do you like best and why? If you click on the small picture, it will grow to a normal size picture so you can see it better.

Please let me know soon, I have to turn them in by this Friday! Thank you for your help.

Ice Candles

Light It is fun to make ice candles!

There are different ways that we do it. This time we filled up a balloon with water and tied it. Then we put it out in the snow to freeze.

When they were mostly frozen, we cut the balloon open and drained the water and ice out.

Then we put a tea light candle  inside and lit the candle outside.

They are really pretty! They last a long time, until they melt.  If you watch the slide show, it will show you how to do it.

For English, I am doing “Cover Story”. I am going to learn how to write a magazine. Today we studied about adverbs.  You don’t want to use them often. Today we had to use a sentence from our book to write a short story without using adverbs. Here is my sentence starter: Priscilla devoured her sandwich hardly without breathing.

Here is my finished story.

Priscilla is three. She loves fall because she likes playing in leaves and she adores sweaters.

One day in fall, Priscilla’s Momma said, “Priscilla, when you are done with your sandwich, you can play outside.” Priscilla devoured here sandwich hardly without breathing.

She put her sweater on without being told because she loved sweaters, remember? Then she ran out. Soon her momma came out with her shoes, socks and a cookie.  Her momma laughed, “you forgot your shoes and socks”.

Priscilla  put her shoes and socks on without complaining even though she did not like shoes and socks. Her momma gave her the cookie and returned to the house. Priscilla made a leaf castle and played in the leaves with her dolls until dinner.

The End

Newest Picture

AndreaWhen I took a break from practicing soccer, I sat on the rock.  Momma said “I am going to take a picture”, ’cause I looked cute. After Momma took a few pictures, I went and played some more.

I had a game on Monday. We had a tie! I am doing good at the games, but have not made a goal yet. I almost make them, but not quite.  I can make goals during practice so I keep trying.

My next game is on Sunday at NIBCO at 3:00.  I hope to try for a goal then 🙂

Cold Drinks

Cool DrinksOur neighbors are having a garage sale. We asked if we could have a stand by them.  We had a cold drink stand with home made cookies. We sold 47 individual cookies and 2 baker’s dozens!

I want to do it again tomorrow, I liked to talk to people.
