Sick!

Well, the flu is making the rounds in our house. It started with Jared on Sunday. He had to leave the building halfway through the church service. Then last night Katie woke me up at two because she was losing her lunch. In the morning she told me that she had thrown up five more times, starting at twelve that night. Needless to say, she didn't go to school today. Any ways, inspiration struck and so I grabbed some paper and a pencil and quickly jotted down a poem before leaving for school.

Here it is:

"The germs are coming! The germs are coming!"
Cried Katie one Monday night,
"Jared's got it, and Hendrik's got it,
And I think I just might!"
She went to bed at eight 'o clock, and tossed and turned 'till nine,
And till the stroke of midnight, Katie was just fine...
But then a bucket brigade they formed, For Katie, she had caught it,
And joined, to make a threesome, the two that had got it.

Hope you enjoyed!

By the way, I have been having some complaints about not posting often enough. I will post as often as I have some thing to post. Some times I will have three posts in a week, sometimes three in a month, some times none in a month. As soon as I have reading material I feel comfortable sharing, I will post it, I promise.

See ya!

Dinosaurs

 On Sunday, Katie decided to make a book about Dinosaurs for Carl Van Dyke (Their family was over for lunch). She copied pictures and facts from a book and stapled it together, titled, Dinosaurs through the eyes of children. It was a great little booklet... except the fact that she misspelled 'through'. Then I looked over her shoulder and pointed out her mistake. Then inspiration struck. She asked how through was supposed to be spelled, but I didn't answer. I was to busy drawing.

Minor typo. . . 

after a few minutes, I showed Katie my doodle. She thought it was hilarious, and asked to show the grown-ups. I was too embarrassed to show them though, so she waited till I was busy helping Mom serve pie to the Vandykes to show them.

They loved it as much as Katie did. Even now, three days later, all I have to to is say "Dinosaurs threw the eyes of children" and mom will burst out laughing. Dad told me I should post it on my blog, so I did. Hope you like it too!

Random Bits of Poetry

We are studying poetry in school right now. Here are 2 poem I wrote at school.

Bath Time Blues

I'm five years old, I'm big and brave.

My bed's a rock, my house a cave!

I'll battle a lion, I'll battle a shark!

I'm not afraid of the dark! 

Or the monsters who hide in my closet to eat

Me after I've fallen fast asleep.

I'm not afraid of you at all! 

Go take a hike! Go to the mall!

Go east or west! Take any path!

 but I refuse to take a bath!

Passing Time 

I'm watching the minute hand move on the clock. 

I'm hearing the music of ticking and tocks.

Every day time moves so fast, 

but now I am counting the minutes go past.

Shh! I am watching the hands on the clock.

I'm watching the sun sail through the sky. 

I'm smiling at clouds as they float by. 

Every day, time moves so fast

But now I am counting the minutes go past.

Shh! I am watching the sun in the sky.

I'm watching my green garden grow.

I'm caring for seeds that I sow.

Every day time moves so fast, 

But now I am counting the minutes go past.

Shh! I am watching my green garden grow.

Cousins Poetry

Aleana and I were on a sleepover when we were little to her house and we decided to write some poetry! It was when we were only very little, so please don't laugh.

        

  Before I go to bed                                                                         

                                                                     By Leah and Aleana                         

                   Before I go to bed I get out of my car. I see a star, and then I eat a chocolate bar! 

                          Before I go to bed my teeth start to rot, and then my horrid horse won't trot!

                       Before I go to bed I eat milk and cheese, and then my chickens get a disease!                                                           

                       I Wake Up In the Morning   

By Leah and Aleana

I wake up in morning and I smell as sweet as a rose,

I wake up in the morning and I put on my clothes.

I wake up in the morning and I pet my parrot.

I'm so glad it's not a ferret!

I wake up in the morning and I see my sister.

Oh no! She's got a blister!

I wake up in the morning and I turn on my lamp.

Oh no! The carpet is damp!

                                                                                                                             

Pretty funny, huh? Hope you enjoy!

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a LOOOOOOONNNGGG time. Here's issue 3, second part.

Pirates! Issue 3 part 1

Hey guys. sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I forgot. sorry. :( Any ways here's the latest Pirates! comic. Enjoy!

New Ideas

Hi guys! you seemed to enjoy the Pirates! so I thought I'd write some more.  I'm working on writing a comic about a lion  and a tiger, named Leo and Stripes. I also thought I'd write one about some animals who escape from the zoo and are constantly running away from zookeepers. I have a few more ideas too, but I'm not sure if you'd like them as much, so maybe do you have any ideas? Stories, Poems, or more comics? 

See ya!

A Harvest Night

The moon that night was very round
Above the town without a sound.
The harvest treasures there were found.
Thanksgiving has begun.
And as the moon above looks down.
Among the rows of stalks.
Not a person dares to talk.
And while the wind howls and sighs,
Down below gold treasure lies,
Of corn and beans and other things.
The moon rises up on hidden wings,
While in the house a family sings
To thank our God for all our things,
Our needs our wants our everythings.
Thanksgiving has begun.

Pirates! Issue 1, Part 2
