Rebecca

Rebecca hasn't written any entries lately, so I thought I would post a couple of her recent amusing comments. We had tater tot casserole for dinner. She claimed not to like it. When told to eat it anyway, she yelled dramatically "but you know I don't like teeter totters!" Later she and Samantha were arguing over who had to shower first. They decided to settle the issue with rock, paper, scissors. After Samantha won three contests, Rebecca said "O.K., you can get in the shower first." Samantha was not pleased.

The Bat by George

Once upon a time, there was a bat that couldn't fly. It tried and tried, but still couldn't fly. One day, when it was trying to fly, it fell. It fell faster and faster. It landed in a pile of stinging nettles with a fwump. It got up and tried to fly out, but it couldn't, so it walked out of the nettles. Instantly it was attacked by wolves. As the wolves ate it, its last thoughts were "Oh why couldn't I fly" and "I hope I  poison them". As it happened the bat did poison the wolves. They dying and when they died they became ZOMBIES! They bit the other wolves and the Zombie Apocalypse began. And the world ended.

The Bat that Couldn't Fly

Once upon a time, a baby bat was sitting in it's nest when a falcon dove and ate it. Its last thought was I never got to see if I could fly. The falcon choked and fell to the ground. A witch came and she put the falcon in her cauldron. She meant to make a flight potion, but since there was an undigested bat inside the falcon, she made poison. When she drank it, she died.

Poetry

Apple

apple, apple all around
apple, apple on the ground
apple, apple in a tree
apple, apple with a bee
apple, apple on a tee
apple, apple in my pee
apple, apple all around
apple, apple on the ground

Riddle

These animals have a trunk.
Their bodies are a hunk.
People ride them,
they've only bit some.
These animals don't wear pants.
We call them ELEPHANTS!

by Samantha

We had to take a test that involved writing a story that had to be chosen from different  categories, and mine was An Exciting Day. So here it is. One day, the mother was preparing breakfast. She decided to make rice pudding, with orange juice to drink. She mixed together the rice pudding, and pu it in the microwave. Then she opened the cupboard door to pick up the cups, and suddenly, they multiplied!  Now, there were twenty cups on the floor. She tried to pick up another cup. Again, it multiplied. This time, she held on. And this time, the cup grew teeth. They twisted into into what could only be described as a smile. And then the cup bit her. She screamed, and dropped the cup. She tried to run, but every time she touched a cup, it multiplied and grew teeth. Her shoes where missing large chunks out of them. She was almost out of the kitchen, when she tripped on a cup. She fell, and the cup multiplied. As she tried to get up, the cups rolled to her, their fanged mouths smiling. She opened her mouth to scream, as the cups rolled over her, but she never got the chance. Then her two daughters walked out of their rooms. They, however, got the chance to scream once, and no more.

April Fools Day

So far today I have been sprayed by the sink sprayer, my lotion replaced by a stuffed animal, the laptop replaced by a pillow, and a bucket of confetti dumped on my head when I went to the bathroom. The first was George, second was Rebecca and the last two were Samantha. Samantha also made lunch. Ham and mashed potatoes with banana split for dessert.

Guess the real ingredients. It was really cute. Rebecca and Samantha stole all of George's clean underwear and Samantha took the Lego ship that he was building and replaced it with a horse game. He blamed Rebecca for that one. Fun day today. If you are fond of pranks. Which I'm not. I'm feeding them cereal for dinner.:)

the baby dragon.

For journal writing we had to right a story titled The baby dragon. so here it is! Once upon a time, two kids were walking in a cave, looking for treasure. Then, they saw the egg. To them, it looked like a colorful rock, not an egg. the boy, who's name was Jack, said: " oh! Cool! Treasure!" " lets take it home," said the girl, who's name was Jennifer. " It would make a cool thing to show people. So they took home. A week later, they heard a sound in there room. " lets go check it out." Whispered Jennifer. They climbed up the stairs, and when they opened the door, they saw what looked like a little lizard, standing in the pieces of it's egg. " what is it? whispered Jennifer, shocked. " I think it's a baby dragon." Said Jack, also shocked. The dragon, if that was what it was, looked them in the eye, and they heard in there minds, a voice, saying: " your minds are mine," It said. " surrender them to me!" And so they raised the dragon, doing it's bidding, and it grew larger, much larger. one day, Jack and Jennifer returned home from school, to find the fully grown dragon gone." Where is master?" Jack said dully. Unknowingly, they had raised the end of the world.                                                                                   George
