My Favorite Color!!! -- 04-16-09

2009-04-16T12:54:10-05:00

Everyone has a favorite color. Some like green, some like Yellow. Some like purple, some like pink. But I'm going to tell you mine. My favorite color is....YELLOW!!!!!!!!!! I think yellow is a really pretty color. With all the brightness swirling all around it, happiness seems to be the only thing it thinks. I love happiness! And I also love brightness, which yellow has. Brightness like the sun. The sun is very, very bright. It's warm, which is what the best part is. There can't be a diffrence between the sun and yellow. (Exept the sun is waaaaay hotter!) And yellow is glowing, like the stars. It's as if when they sparkle, it's how they talk and they seem to say, "Yellow is our twin," because they;re both glowing and yellow and sparkly. If you think about yellow the way I do, you're sure to love it, too!

Brother and Sister BABY WORDS!!!!!!!!!! -- 04-09-09

2009-04-09T11:39:20-05:00

When my brother and I were babies, we couldn't pronounce some words right. Here are some of the words we said: P.S. My brother's name is George.

Bubbles=Bubbush. (George)
What is this?=Wushishish (George)
Kristi (My name)=Cookie (Me)

We did say more, but I'm not sure what yet. I'll watch more footage at my house, but for now, bye!

Our New Student -- 04-06-09

2009-04-06T12:44:40-05:00

Tomorrow or Wednesday, a new student will be coming to our class! His name is Filiposs. So today, some of us made cards and pictures for him, to welcome him to our school. Have you ever had a new student in your class? If so, what did you do? Did you include him/her in games and made him/her feel included? If not, would you want to have one, and do you think it would be hard to talk to someone you didn't know? I wonder what Filiposs will look like, and what he'll be like.

Who Wants More??!!! -- 04-05-09

Take the Right Path -- 03-27-09

2009-03-27T17:34:48-05:00

We all know that our mind tells us which paths we should take, and which paths we shouldn't. And we must always remember to take the right ones. But for some people, taking the right path isn't right. And can you guess who they are....Bullies! Here is an example:

Anushri and Jessica were on the playground playing Freeze Tag. When Jessica tagged Anushri, Anushri started complaining that Jessica didn't tag her, but was close. Then, they should've took the right path by calling a redo, or saying that it was okay. And Anushri could've even said she did get tagged. But instead, they started getting into a fight, and took the wrong path. And Jessica even said Anushri's Indian name was weird and it sounded kind of gross. Don't you think it would've been much better if they took the right path? Because remember: If you take the right path, everything will be okay, nobody will get hurt with their body or feelings, and everyone will be happy.

Let's Save Energy! -- 03-26-09

2009-03-26T10:25:06-05:00

How can you save energy? You can:

*Turn off the water in sinks when you're done.

*Turn off the lights if not needed. (When I go to bed at my house, we turn the hall lights and the bedroom lights off.)

*Don't leave the TV on when you're not watching it.

If you have any more ideas to save energy, comment me!

How You Can Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle -- 03-26-09

2009-03-26T10:15:20-05:00

You can reduce, reuse, and recycle by doing lots of things. I am planning on taking used bottles and turning them into something else. (That's using your imagination!) You can use both sides of paper instead of using pages and pages. I'm trying to give you as many ideas as possible. You should us recycleable items instead of putting it all in the garage can. Just do the things that you think will help the Earth! And remember: Reduce, reuse, recycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why You WOULD Want To Come To My House!!!!!!!! -- 03-23-09

2009-03-23T19:53:09-05:00

Have you ever seen Indiana Jones and how he swings on that rope? Well at my house, I exparimented a little with my big rope and the tree in my backyard. And guess what I made? I MADE A ROPE TO SWING ON!!!!!!!!!! But that's not all! If you wrap it arounda few more times and pull part of it down, it's even better! You can actually SIT on it, like a swing! And another thing you could do if you wanted to clinb up on the tree, you just have to take the Indiana Jones swing ad wrap it around the other end of it and soon, it will stick up, and you can climb on it! Exept it's kinda tricky. I bet you would TOTALLY want to come to my house, because I would let you do it-- as long as I got to do it too! But you wouldn't have to. But still, I think it's pretty fun! If you live near here, you can have fun at my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How To Play Lazer Tag, And What It Is. -- 03-09-09

2009-03-09T13:12:12-05:00

Here is what it is: Well, first, you step into a room and listen to the rules. Then, you go in another room and you put a vest thingy on, and you get a FAKE gun. Then, an alarm will go off and yougo into a dark room and the lights turn off and there's a disco ball! You will have eight seconds to hide from the other team. There is a red team, and a green team. And then, you shoot the other team with LAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, FAKE lazers. It's really cool! And once you shoot someone, in the middle of the vest, there's a triangle and the little circle inside will turn yellow and shiny and for eight seconds, you cannot shoot. But after eight seconds go by, you can shoot again. Lazer Tag is so cool! And that is what Lazer Tag is.

My Mom Sprained Her Ankle! -- 02-27-09

2009-02-27T16:31:55-05:00

On Friday, my mom was taking out the garbage when she thougt she went in a big area when she thought she saw a small puddle, but it was really solid ice, not a puddle. So she slipped! And ow, that hurt, I bet! So then, she called to the builders who were working on a house. (Thank goodness they were there!) And they ran over and asked if she was okay. She wanted them to get my dad, so they took her to my house and told my dad. Then, the builders got on to what they were doing, and my mom and dad left to pick me up from school. When they arrived, I ran to the car. I was a bit surprised because my dad doesn't usually pick me up, too. He said we had to go to the emergency room. I had no idea why, so I asked, "why?" And sure enough, he told me the story.I was so worried! I thought she broke a bone! My mom was sitting in the front seat and she said it hurts a lot. But just remember that we didn't know if she sprained it or broke it or anything. We drove to the hospital. Me and my dad helped her walk out of the car. When we got inside, we waited in the waiting room for a few minutes. Then, a nurse called her in a room where she asked my mom a lot of questions, like, "where does it hurt?" And, "are you okay?" Then, she came out and we waited a few more minutes. Then, someone weeled her into a diffrent room. We checked on her in about an hour. And she and I played bowling on her ipod! Okay, maybe I shouldn't have told you that. Anyways, then, a guy came in and said he wanted one more x-ray of her ankle. When he got the x-ray, he said she only sprained it, not broke it. We sighed with relief. Then, a nurse gave my mom crutches and we went home in the car. And that's the story of how my mom sprained her ankle.

The Storm -- 02-26-09

2009-02-26T19:14:49-05:00

Tonight there was a storm. It was thundery and lightningy outside. My brother was at baseball practice and thank goodness it was indoors! I am going to sing now. You may do it with me. "It's raining, it's pooring! The old man is snoring! He got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning!" That is a fun song. Hhhhh! I just saw lightening! Storms can be scary sometimes. I might be scared in bed tonight if I hear thunder or see more lightening. Stay dry, everyone! Oh, and guess what? This isn't a lie. I just heard more thunder!

What I've Always Wanted To Do -- 02-19-09

2009-02-19T09:52:42-05:00

I've always wanted to learn how to jump or do anything on my "zoingo boingo." I've kept trying, but never, never have I got it right. Oh, how I've wished I could do it! "Come on!" I said one day. "How come I can't do this?!!"It was so hard to balance. And so hard to jump. And so hard to stay on. Until one day, my dream came true!

Chapter two...

I was outside, waiting for my dad to get ready to take us to my friends, Emy, and Ty at their house. Ya know, for a playdate. And well, I had my zoingo-boingo with me, so I tried it! First, I held on to our porch, tried to put my feet on, tried my hardest to balance, and then KABBOOM!!!!! I let go and started jumping! I felt so proud of myself so I told everyone and not just that, but I showed them, too! Finally, I could do it! Then we left in the car for the playdate and I was so happy.

Valentine's Day At School -- 02-13-09

2009-02-13T16:11:07-05:00

Today, it's Valentine's Day, and each class is having a party for it. Mrs. Shulman's class,(our class) had a party this afternoon, and if I can, I want to tell you exactly what happened: The class split up into two groups. First, my group played "Cupid Bingo." While we were doing that, the other group was doing something where you race against someone to stack up candy hearts with chopsticks. After that, we switched. The people who won got a prize. And when both groups did everything, we all sat down in a circle on the 'reading-corner floor' to play The Smile Game. The Smile Game is a game where you sit in a circle and you can't smile. But one person does smile. And when that person smiles, they don't just smile, but they smile directly at another person. And then that person smiles and the one who smiled before doesn't smile anymore. And it keeps on going until your time is up. After that, the party and school was over. While we headed out the door, The moms who were helping out at the party gave us each a bag with a Valentine's Day Fun packet, I think a valentine, and a piece of candy. This all made me feel happy. Valentine's Day at school is so much fun!

My Trip To Florida. Part 2, The Coolest Part Of My Trip -- 02-12-09

2009-02-12T18:00:07-05:00

Okay, now. Here was the coolest part of my trip to "you know where." We saw a sky writer actually write something in the sky!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment me if you want to know what it wrote. It did it for two days in a row. It was the day before we left, and the day we left. The first day, we were up in our hotel room, and looking out the window. And guess what! That's when we saw the sky writing! I wanted to get a camera to take a picture of the amazing sight. But at the time, we just couldn't find it. The next day, we were in the pool while we saw it again!!!! But since we were down in the pool, it seemed like the writing was upsidedown, so we sort of had to tilt our heads to see it right. But we didn't care! It was so eexiting seeing sky-writing for the first time! That was the coolest part of my trip. THE END

Today Seems Like Spring! -- 02-07-09

2009-02-07T10:47:05-05:00

Today, it seems like Spring! Because in Northbrook right now, it's really warm out side! So guess what! I think it's the day to wear my northface coat instead of my super- protective coat that's very warm with all the bottons and the zipper and the hood! And it's not totaly warm or even hot, but it's just mostly cold, but a little bit warm mixed in. That's why I would say it's a bit like Spring! Let's go out and play!

Mabey I Was Wrong About Groundhogs Day -- 02-07-09

2009-02-07T07:47:34-05:00

Hey! Ya know what? I think that now I've changed my mind about the whole "I want six more weeks of Winter" thing. Now, I think I am sick of Winter and the coldness. I mean "COME ON!!!!!!!" I wish the groundhog didn't see his shadow. My skin gets dry because of the warm air so now lotion is my best friend. And I don't like when my hair gets staticky and sticks up. I want sunny days and warmer weather. I am crossing my fingers for warm weather soon.

All About My Skating Trip -- 02-06-09

2009-02-06T18:52:03-05:00

Hello, everybody!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back from my skating trip and I'm going to tell you all about it! Here is all the information I've got about it:

When we got their, we got out of the car and we sledded down the hill for a few minutes. Then, my brother, George needed to put on his snowpants and gloves because his hands were freezing and his clothes were all wet and snowy. (He was only wearing pants, a winter coat, a hat, shoes, and of course a warm shirt.) So we went back in the car and drove home. When we got back, we sledded a little more. Then, my mom sat me on a nearby bench and we put on my new skates. Then, when we got them on, I ran to the ice and started skating! I was pretty good at it because I don't know why, but it's either my skates are very easy to balance in, or I'm growing up and just getting better each year. I skated forward and backward, this way and that way, left and right. And I fell down once and a while. But I tried to do my best. I will wright another article leaving off right their. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Going Skating For The First Time Ever Since Last Winter! -- 02-06-09

2009-02-06T18:01:01-05:00

Today I'm going to go skating behind the Northbrook Public Library. It's the first time I've went since last Winter! I will be leaving in a few minutes. And guess what! I got new skates! My mom bought them for me. She buys me a lot of stuff wich is why she's probably one of the nicest moms ever! My new skates are... hey! Wait a second! Now it seems like I'm working on a diffrent article called, "My New Skates," or something. Because I'm talking a lot about my new skates. Well, it doesn't matter. Okay. Let's get back to the story here. So as I was saying, my new skates are white with blue straps. But they are mostly white. I'm going skating with my mom and my brother. We also brought one of our sleds so we can slide down the hills. But I don't think my mom wants to sled, though. And besides skating and sledding, we have to see if my skates fit me or not. Because if they don't, we will have to return them back to the store. And bad news! I don't think they give you your money back. Because it already got mixed up with all of the other people's money. So that is just a waist. My mom just said we have to go like 18 seconds ago. Stay tuned for my next article about my time skating.

My Trip To Florida. Part 1, The Funniest Part Of My Trip -- 02-04-09

2009-02-04T16:10:02-05:00

On January 9th, 2009 My mom, my dad, my brother, and I took a trip to Florida. My parents drove- as always and my dad drove the most. We left on 1-9-09 and in the morning. It took us about a day and 13 hours to get in Florida. It was hard for me to pick the things I would bring on my trip. The funniest part of my trip to Florida was when... We were all at the beach. And we were just leaving it. So we washed off all of the sand that was on us by using those little shower thingys. And when it was my dad's turn, when he pressed the button where the water is supposed to come out at the bottom, the water came out of the top instead of the bottom! And he got all wet! That was a ryet, I tell you! Everyone was laughing exept for poor Dad. And atleast nobody saw it exept for us. That must have been so embarresing for him! But, I think he was okay. After that, he smiled and giggled a little bit. Then, he got dried off with the towel and we walked home. Then, he was happy again. And that was the funniest part of my trip to Florida.

Six More Weeks Of Winter For Ground Hog Day?...Or Not? -- 02-02-09

2009-02-02T10:00:29-05:00

Since today's Groundhog Day, I really hope that a groundhog comes out of his hole and sees his (or her) shadow so there will be six more weeks of Winter. I really want this to happen because... I have never went skating the entire Winter so far and I've already got new skates! What if I grow out of them?!! If I do grow out of them, it will be a waste of money! The second reason why I want six more weeks of Winter is because I really want to make snowmen around the fort I made at home. They would be my very own guardians that protect my snow fort. And the last reason why I want six more weeks of Winter is because I really want to go sledding again. It's really fun for me. All of those things are very fun for me! Stay tuned for a surprise! Those are the three reasons why six more weeks of Winter is my thing!

1 More Fact About Me -- 02-01-09

The Funniest Part Of My Weekend -- 01-31-09

2009-01-31T19:44:46-05:00

The funniest part of my weekend was when... My mom, my brother, and I went to Macy's to shop. When we were just getting out of the lego store in the mall, a little boy ran past us and screamed twice, "HELLO, EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!" It was so, so, so,so,so funny! George, (my brother)
was laughing like crazy, but my mom and I were just giggling. We still thought it was pretty funny,though. We were on the second floor so the boy yelled it from above the short wall thingys that keep you from falling. That was the funniest part of my weekend. The End.

P.S. This happened on Saturday, January 31st.

My Candle Is Melting! Part 3 -- 01-29-09

2009-01-29T11:36:15-05:00

"John, this might be the end of your life" I said sadly to John. "No, it can't be. I'm not even married yet"said John miserabley. They thought and thought what to do. "I got it! We can go to the candle doctor!" I said. "Yippee! She'll know what to do!" said John. "Let's go!" I said. So we went outside in the car and drove to the candle doctor. When we got thier, we sat in the waiting room and read a book. Then, we went into the candle doctor's office. "Dr. Candle! Dr. Candle! I'm so glad to see you! No matter what I do, John keeps melting!" I said. "I will take his tempreture" she said. "Nothing bad" she said after she took John's tempreture. "He just has a fever." I said, "Whew." The candle doctor left her office and came back in with some medicine. "Here. Take this medicine. It will stop your fever. It's bubblegum flavored" she said. Dr. Candle took a spoon and poured a little bit of medicine into it. I held the spoon into John's mouth and he swallowed the medicine. In a flash, he stopped melting and his whole body came back! "Oh, thank you so much" I said. "Thanks for saving me!" said John. "Well that's what I do. Save candle lives" she said very happy. Before we left, The candle stopped us from walking out the door. "Wait! You'll need this" she said. Dr. Candle handed me the bottle of medicine. It says on the front CANDLE FEVER MEDICINE in all capital letters. "Just incase John gets a fever again. If it happens, pour just two spoon fulls" Dr. Candle said. "Thanks" I said to her. Then, we all said, "Bye!" John and I drove home. "So you're all better, right?" I asked John. "Yup. I like Dr. Candle alot. Because she saved my life and made me all better" said John happily. "I'm glad" I said to John. The end.

Intermission: Hey guys!
I sure am glad John was okay. Are you? I am because I love John, and we've always had so much fun together. I love John, even though he's just a candle stick. Because here's a speacial message that I want you to always remember: It doesn't matter what or who you are, because no matter what, someone will always love you and care about you.

2009-01-29T10:47:04-05:00

I took him outside in the cold, but he ws still melting.He wasn't even on fire! Oh no! Here is a special message to all of you out there: If you have any ideas how I can keep John the candle stick from melting please comment me.

Thank you.

When I watched Barack Obama Become President -- 01-20-09

2009-01-20T13:53:07-05:00

We all watched Barack Obama and Joe Biden become president and vice president. There were lots and lots of people there. It was all on telivision. I saw musicians, lots and lots of people, instromants, the president, the vice president, the white house, people with cameras, and flags on the white house. I thought I'm going to cry because some of the songs that the musicians played were sad. I felt happy for Obama and Biden for winning but sad for McCain and Palin for losing. Both teams did great! I heard people cheering from the crowd, a long announcement, someone telling us to pray, Obama talking, and music. I noticed there was alot of red, wight, and blue. I wondered what Barack Obama and Joe Biden's middle name's were. Watching the whole show takes a long, long time. Right now, it is not even over yet. Happy President's Day everybody!

My Two Front Teeth -- 01-20-09

2009-01-20T08:18:13-05:00

I lost one of my two front teeth on November 1st or 2nd. I lost the other one when I was in Florida on January 18th. I was eating a muffin and a bowl of cereal for breakfast. I wiggled it and then stopped. Then I wiggled it a little more. And BOOM! It popped right out of my mouth! It came out at 9:21 AM. So guess what! For the next several days, I will be missing my two front teeth. And you are allowed to look. Just ask me and I'll show you. So, because the holiday coming up next is Valentine's day, maby I will sing All I Want For Valentine's Day Is My Two Front Teeth. That would be kind of funny I guess. I got one dollar from the toothfairy! COOL! Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

The Magic Pearl -- 01-07-09

2009-01-07T10:34:32-05:00

Once, apon a time there was a frog named Lily Hop. She was a curius frog, and she was always kind to others. One day at school Lily was playing on the playground with her friends. "Ouch!" cried Hoppy. He had stepped on something. "What is it"? asked a bear named Bearla. "Are you alright"? said Lily. "I think I stepped on something" said Hoppy. "Let's see what you stepped on" said Lily. So the friends looked under Hoppy's foot to see what he had stepped on. They saw that Hoppy stepped on a rock. "That is the prettiest rock I've ever seen!" cried Bearla. Indeed, it wasn't a rock, but it was a pearl that was purple and blue. But of course, they didn't know that. "I don't think that's a rock" said Lily. "Then, what is it?" asked Bearla. "I don't know" answered Hoppy. " Mabey it's a pearl"! said Lily. "I think you're right"! said Hoppy. "Well, I still think it's a rock" said Bearla unkindly. "A pretty rock." "How could it be a rock, if it's purple and blue"? asked Lily. "Well, okay. mabey it is a pearl" said Bearla. 5 minutes later, the bell rang. The friends went inside the school to thier classrooms. At snack time, Lily, Bearla, and Hoppy talked more about the pearl they had found at reccess. "Do you think it's magical or something"? asked Hoppy. "I don't know. mabey" answered Lily. "Pearly pearl, do as we say" she said "Why did you say that" asked Bearla. Before Lily could say anything, suddenly, around the pearl burst a beautyful purple-ish blue-ish surrounding that none of them could find out why it was doing that. "Try telling it a wish," said Hoppy. "Ok," said Lily. "I want 1000 dollars," said Lily. Suddenly, 1000 dollars popped right out of the pearl! "Whoa!" they said when they saw the money. "Class, is everything alright back there"? asked our teacher, Ms. Skock. "Um... yes," they said at the exact same time. They thought it was magical and they were right! When snacktime
was over, Lily, Hoppy, and the rest of the class went to gym class. Bearla came in a little late because she was in the bathroom. They were playing with the big, blue net that hangs down and you have to try to climb up and down it. "Isn't this fun"? asked Bearla. "Yeah," I do think it's fun" answered Hoppy. The class was also playing with hoola hoops and jump ropes. Donald got to the top of the big, blue net. He was the only one who got that far. Everyone cheered. "Yay for Donald!" cheered Bearla and Lily. Oh no! Hoppy had fallen off of the big, blue net! "Oh my gosh," said Lily. "Are you okay?" Lily asked. At first, Hoppy didn't talk and tried not to move at all. "YEAH!" he said scaring Lily and Bearla because he had screamed so loud. "We thought you were hurt" said Bearla. "You know, you shouldn't fake it" said Lily. "It's like the story of The Boy Who Cried "Wolf." "What's that?" asked Hoppy. He had never heard of that story before. "Well, that's another story" said Bearla. Just then, the gym teacher, Mr. Binto ran over. "Hoppy, are you alright?" he asked. "He's fine" said Bearla. After a while, gym class was over, and the other class came in. The rest of the day went by, and after school Lily took home the pearl and her 1000 dollars and told the pearl another wish. She wished for twenty hot dogs. "Mmm mmm" she said when she got the hot dogs. After that, she ate four of them, but before she ate them, she got mustard and ketchup to put on them. "Thank you pearl" she whispered. But unfortunatly, her mom heard what she had said and said: "Honey, did I hear you say: "thank you pearl?" "Uh... no! I said I'm watching My Name Is Earl on Tbs. You know, the tv show." "Alright" her mother said back. Then, a great idea popped into Lily's head. She jumped out of her bed and put the pearl on her chair with a blanket over it, so her family couldn't see it. Three hours later, it was dinner time. "Lily, tonight we're having hot dogs. I know they are your favorite" said Lily's father. "Uh oh" Lily thought. Because she had already ate some of the hot dogs that she wished for. But, hot dogs were her favorite, so she had dinner anyways. That night, lily had dreams about pearls. But one was about hot dogs. One of the pearl dreams were: Lily found a pearl. She said "Boo" and then a monster came out and ate her. That one was a night mirror. The other pearl dream was: Hoppy found a pearl at the beach. Lily was with him. Two fishes came out of the ocean and took the pearl out of Hoppy's hand. Lily thought that one was funny. The hot dog dream was: it was raining hot dogs and every body started grabbing and eating them. The next day, Lily took the pearl to school. "I got the pearl" she said when she saw Bearla and Hoppy. "Great" said Bearla. Then, Hoppy told the pearl a wish. He wished for a mirror because he always wanted for his locker so he could check his face. He usually ate messy things. Then, a green mirror popped out of the pearl. "I've always needed that" he said. "We could get whatever we want no matter what the size is" said Lily. "Yeah" agreed Bearla. While Hoppy held the pearl, they all went on the swings. "Wee" said Lily. "Wee" said Bearla. "Wee" said Hoppy. "Wee" said all the other swingers. They were all having so much fun. Three minutes later, Bearla, Lily, and Hoppy got off of the swings and other kids got on to have thiere turns. "So witch one of us is gonna keep this pearl?" asked Bearla. "One of us can't exactly keep it" said Lily. She thought each of them should get to keep the pearl for two days and on the next day bring it back to school. Then, she shouted out her idea. "Since I just took the pearl home yesterday I'll take it home again today and bring it back tommorow. Then, it'll be one of your turns. "That's how we'll work it out." Hoppy agreed, but Bearla turned away and said "No. I want to keep it and I will." Lily and Hoppy frowned and crossed theire arms. Bearla turned back and said "Oh, alright. We'll take turns." Then, Bearla wished for a purple notepad. She likes to write so she can remind herself things. "Hmmm... something's missing" she said. "I got it! a pen!" So, next she wished for a pen. After that, the bell rang. They all ran inside. "I'll hold the pearl in my pocket" Bearla whispered. She whispered so no one could hear. After school, Lily took home the pearl again. Her grandma was at her house because her Mom was running arrons and her dad was at work. "Hi, Grandma" said Lily. "Hello, darling" said her grabndma. Lily and her grandma hugged each other. "I'm so glad to see you" said Lily, exited to see her grandma. "I'm so glad to see you too, darling. And I love you darling." "You call me darling too much" said Lily. "Sorry, darling." Lily's grandma covered her mouth. Because she said "darling" again. Lily put her hands on her hips. "I'm going in my room" said Lily. She put the pearl on the exact same chair under the exact same blanket as yesterday. "I wonder if we should do something about this pearl" Lily thought. "GRANDMA! GRANDMA!" called Lily. "What? Did you get hurt? Do you see a bear?" asked her silly grandma. Then, she didn't want to, but her mouth blurted out "My friends and I found a magic pearl at school the other day"! "You... you..... found a magic pearl" her grandma asked. Lily wished she never said it, jumped up on to her bed, pulled the covers over her head and fell fast asleep a few minutes later. When she woke up, her mom was home. She came into Lily's room and said "You really found a pearl at school? Kids have such imagination these days." "First of all it's a magic pearl and I'm telling the truth. I've got proof of it" said Lily. "Oh really?" said Lily's mother. "Show me." So, Lily got the magic pearl out of her chair and showed it to her mom."That's just some dum toy, isn't it?" her mother said. Lily frowned. "Give my mom a yellow balloon with a red string" said Lily. Nothing happened. "Wait, something is supposed to happen" said Lily. "Not a chance" said Lily's mom. "I have to make dinner." "No, wait" said Lily. But her mother already left the room to make dinner. "Darn it" Lily thought. "Pearl, why didn't you do what I said?" asked Lily. She thought of course it wouldn't speak, but it did! Lily was so surprised! "Because you said for me to only listen to you, Bearla, and Hoppy, wich means even if you wish for something that will be for someone besides you, Bearla, or Hoppy it won't work" said the pearl. Lily paused for a moment. "Well, I changed my mind" she said. " 'Cause now, my mom doesn't believe me." "Well, I only listen to commands. You can tell me to work for anybody you wish. But only if you speak carefully because you have three tries and once you say who I have to listen to three times, you cannot do it again" said the pearl in a deep voice. "Okay. Listen to anybody that wishes on you" Lily said. As you wish, Lily. The pearl made the same purple- ish blue- ish surrounding as the one that happened at school the day they had found it. Lily could tell that it was the sign that the pearl just followed a command. "Honey, dinner!" said Lily's mom. "I gotta go" said Lily. She went downstairs for dinner. That night, when Lily was in bed, she stayed awake for quite a while because after her parents kissed her goodnight, she snuck out of bed and whispered "goodnight, pearl." The pearl wanted to smile but pearls don't usually have mouths so it said "Goodnight, Lily." Lily smiled and jumped back in bed. She wrote on a peice of paper: Remember to show Mom and Dad the pearl and how it works. Unfortunatly, the next morning, when she got out of bed, she had breakfast, got dressed, brushed her teeth, and went to school forgetting all about it. When Lily got to School, she felt like she was forgetting something and she was! The note she left in her room! "I feel like I'm forgetting something" Lily said to Bearla and Hoppy. "Oh great! I was gonna show my mom and dad the pearl!"said Lily. "Well, there's one thing I really, really want to ask you," said Bearla to Lily. "What," asked Hoppy. "DID YOU BRING THE PEARL"!? "Shhh, and yes" said Lily. "Bearla, could you please be a little bit quieter," Ms. Scock said. "Sorry," answered Bearla. They went to go on the monkey bars. They took turns until reccess was over. At show and tell, Hoppy asked "So are we gonna get this over with with the pearl or not." "If you're in this with me put your hands in." Hoppy, Lily, and Bearla formed a circle around each other. Hoppy put his hand in the middle of the circle. Lily put her hand in. But for Bearla... "But can't we just keep it for ourselves" she asked in a whiny moan.
"Bearla, can't you ever learn to share? " asked Lily. Bearla put her hand in. "Who would like to go first," asked Ms. Scock. "Us!!!!!!!!" they said. They ran to the show and tell spot. "We found this at recess" Lily said. "Believe it or not," said Hoppy." "It's a magic pearl!" blurted out Bearla. Ms. Scock burst with laughter. "Ha ha ha! You found a magic pearl!? Ha ha ha ha ha!" she said. She would not stop laughing. All of the children stared at Ms. Scock. Everyone, even Lily and the others. Soon, Ms. Scock stopped laughing. She said, "I'm sorry that I laughed. It's just that there's really no such things as magic pearls. Not even if they aren't magic." "Well, we've got proof" said Hoppy. They took out the magic pearl from the special gold case they'd put it in. "I want a hot pink pencil" said Lily. And to the class's surprise, out burst the exact same pencil that Lily was expecting! The children were amazed. And Ms. Scock's moth dropped all the way open. Lily did a clever smile. "You were saying" she said. "B..b.. but.. Ho... how could this be possible" asked Ms. Scock. "Than you so much for sharing that with us" said our aid, Mrs. Drapsley. Then, Marie came up to them and shook Hoppy's hand. After that, Leap came up and did their secret handshake to Bearla. Rover came to Lily and said "I know this will sound wierd, but I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU!" Most of the children laughed but Lily, the frog who never knew she had a boy who loved her exept for her brother walked over to Rover and they hugged. "Aw, isn't that so cute?" said Mrs. Drapsley. She took four pictures and sent two out to Rover's mom and dad and two out to Lily's mom and dad. Two days later, it was Friday. "Rover, that was really... really...~ "Romantic" intterupted Rover. "Exactly said Lily." When Lily got home from the bus, she was surprized that all of her house lights were off, all was quiet, and there seemed to be no one home. "Hello?" she said when she reached her door. Suddenly, all of the lights went on, and Lily's grandma, her parents, her aunts and uncles, and even her cuzins yelled "Three cheers for Lily and the magic pearl! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Lily was so happy that her family knew about this magnificant pearl! They had a big celebration with streamers hung up, ballons everywhere, singing, and of course, happiness and joy spread out all through the house! They also had tasty treats. And guess what! They got some of the food from the pearl! And from that day on, they often used the pearl to get things from it. And they all lived hapily ever after.

If you can't think of stuff you can do, here are some ideas: make snowangels, have snowball fights, and those are the only things I can think of. I'm sure you could think of some more things to do in the snow!

I pick my family, because without them, I would be as lonely as can be, I pick my friends, because who would you play with, without any friends? and finally, my body, my voice, etc. because without all of that stuff, I wouldn't be alive, and wouldn't be blogging all of this stuff! That is what I would pick, if I had to pick three things, that I was thankful for.

My Winter Break -- 01-06-04

2004-01-06T00:00:00-05:00

When Winter Break was here, I had a lot of fun. We celebrated Christmas and had a party. My cusins Melody an Paige came over with thier dad, Ray. They only stayed ' till Christmas Eve. Also, about a day before Christmas Eve, my uncle George, my 20 year-old cusin Alex, and his lovely mother Ingrid came over. They stayed for four days in a row. And on Christmas Eve my grandparents, and my uncle Alan came over. On Christmas morning, I found presents by our tree. On New Years Eve, my mom let us stay up until 10:00 PM!!!! On the first day of 2009, everyone (exept Paige, my aunt Ingrid, Alex, and my uncle George) came to my grandma's house for a little celebration to have a joyful new year. I was a little sad that Paige wasn't joining in all of the fun, but the others made me happy. At night most of us (including me) went to a nearby bowling alley called Brunzwick Zone. I went bowling for a while, and then went to the arcade. I got 125 tickets!!!! AWESOME!!!! After I went to the arcade, I traded in my tickets for prizes. I got a glow- in- the- dark ring- pop , a lizzard baret, and I don't remember the last one. After we were done with the bowling alley we went home. The party was really fun!!!! That is what my winter break was like. The End
