Tiny Things by M

I like to collect tiny things. I have collections of tiny plastic Puppies, Cats, Babies, Horses, and Tiny Medieval Knights. My favorite puppy is named Cute. He is the smallest in all the puppies. I am not sure which one is the smallest in all the horses. I also have a little Farmer's Market that I was given on my birthday when I turned 8 by my friend Raychel. The store has everything from bananas to bread. My babies like to go to the store to get things to eat. I have four princesses that act like mothers to the babies. I also have pandas and also one lion. I practically have so many that I don't know what I have! Do you like to collect things like I do? I love to collect tiny things. I'll write very soon!

I am thankful that God gave me my tiny things.

Chosen by M

Just yesterday, we started a thing called Chosen. It is a thing for 1:15 hours, only for girls of eight to twelve and it teaches kids different stuff about God. This time it is about the Jewish Feasts: Passover, the feast of Unleavened Bread, the feast of Firstfruits, the feast of Weeks, the feast of Trumpets, the feast of Yom Kippur, and the feast of Tabernacles. Here is the Jewish Calendar: Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av, Elul, Tishri, Heshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, and Adar. Plus on your first day you get a journal with posters inside! At the end of the day, you get a folder with all the stuff I have told you in it. I hope to see you there!

I am thankful for Chosen.

My pet Penguin by M

One day I was just walking when I spotted a  penguin doing hula-hoop. I decided to walk up to the penguin and see why it was doing hula-hoop. The penguin said "I just do what I want sir!" and I said "Well don't you want a master?" and the penguin said "Yes, sir! I would like to have a master! But I do not! Can you be? "Why I would love to!" I said. "O.K." said the penguin. "First I must teach you how to slide down a hill." O.K. I said. "you can be my pet. I thought you would be my master. Not me be your pet. Eventually we agreed. And he became my pet.

THE END

I am thankful for Our pets. 

The Neighbor Leprechaun by M

One day I was dog-siting my neighbor's dog, Lily. When I saw her owner behind me. She caught my eye and steered me away. Then she whispered in my ear. "Let me show you something."she said. I fallowed her into her house,into her room, and finally into her ........closet? Why are we going into your walk-in closet? I asked. Then I gasped. All I saw was green green green green. Then I realized I was staring at a leprechaun's closet. You are a leprechaun? I asked. Yup yup yup. She said. Wow and you never told me? I said.Yup she said. From that day on I know when someone tells you something it is not always false.

I am thankful for God and Jesus.

The day it Snowed in by M

One day it was just a ordinary day until I went to school. "Say goodbye!" said mom. "Not today!" I said. I hopped on the bus and was gone. While I was on the bus I got a bit nervous because it was snowing. At math class Zoey said look outside! We all ignored the teacher and  looked outside. "Wow!" said Hannah. Than the teacher spoke up. " Oh no! We have been snowed in! Evan, go open the door and feel the snow. Than come back inside and tell me if it is hard or soft." "But!" said Evan. "No excuses!" said the teacher. Trembling, Evan opened the door and felt the snow. "Hard as rock!" he said.  Eventually we had dug a big and long tunnel that took a week and a half to dig. When I got home I apologized to my mom for not saying goodbye. And she forgave me.

The Day it Snowed Marshmallows by M

One day it snowed marshmallows. Soon, it turned into a blizzard of marshmallows. Once the blizzard calmed down I went outside. I noticed a HUGE mountain of marshmallows. It was so tall it was falling off the other side of the fence. I ran inside and grabbed the sled, then went back out again. Then I climbed up the mountain of marshmallows. It was so tall that it took a hour to climb up. Once I was up I posed my sled on the marshmallows and...it was stuck! What should I do? I ran down the mountain of marshmallows back into the house and asked what I should do. Mom told me to put corn starch or powdered sugar on the already sticky sled. It worked! Then I was sledding and sliding until Mom told me to come inside. And guess what? It never melted plus it was not cold! You did not even need gloves!

I am thankful for snow.

Fa la by A

The best holiday song of all time is O Come All ye Faithful! I like it because of the 'ye' part.
It has old parts to it.  O has a nice ring to it. Faithful you don't see every day. Come comes rarely.
These words are neat things. I love that song! This song is about the birth of Jesus.  We sing it at Christmas in big church. 

I'm thankful for............ EGYPT!!!!!!!

Frosty day A

I am a snowman. I had lots of trips. I went many places. I went to castles, Paris, and the Snowplace.
I saw the sea. I saw all the fish like starfish, jellyfish, crabs, and SHARKS!  I fell in and melted!!
I was gone in a submarine. My name is Turtle because I die slowly. My mom and dad are dead.
I still loved them--too bad it was SUMMER! Summer is a snowman's worst nightmare! I came to back to life in the middle of summer. It snowed on my mom's birthday.
It was a happy day!

The Prettiest Winter by M

Winter is the prettiest season. I love the way the snow sparkles. My big sister A and I play in the snow. I love  the snow. My sister loves the snow too. She'd much rather stay inside.  We all like the snow. Snow is awesome! My favorite kind of snow is hard snow. I like hard snow because I can build a snow man/snowgirl. One time I made a small snowman and Henry our 5 year old maltese stole the nose! (Henry adores carrots.) Shadow looked sorry for himself, so A went to get a carrot for him. We love Shadow and I guess Henry.

I love snowmen Winter!

I am thankful for GOD, JESUS, AND BOOKS.

Just Chilling by A

I just love chilling with my dogs Henry and Shadow. Henry and I love playing in snow.
One time my little sister M made a little snowman. Henry jumped up and got the snowman's nose!
He ate it under our  swing set.  It was so funny!  Shadow looked like he was saying, "Hey!"
Henry looked like he did not care!  So I went inside to get Shadow a carrot too. He ate it slowly.
Henry loves carrots so much! He has one word for it: snack! Henry eats his carrot fast so he can steal Shadow's carrot. Shadow does not like carrots anyway.


I'm thankful for........................................................... MY KINDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Family Feast by M

Every Thanksgiving we have a feast. It is always with our entire family, or just the six of us: Carrie (mom), Travis (dad), A (sister), Shadow our 8 year old dog, and Henry David Thoreau our five year old dog. Desquantum (Squanto's full name) started Thanksgiving. We always have a good time. Everybody eats together and chat and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Sometimes we paint plates with dad's work friends. It is fun. We eat a special meal. The guests are happy and like the food. Some get some of everything while some will get a lot of one specific thing. Some ask for the recipes to take home. Mom tells them that she found it on the Internet. We take the guests' coats and put them in A's room. THANKSGIVING IS AWESOME! Thanksgiving is cool.

He thought he was one cool dude. 4
Then he went to the mirror again.............................. 5
This time he is not too thin. 
But after he ate his food he went to the mirror but this time he was way way way too thin.

Here, Winter! by A

Winter is here and it is the best, cold, snowy season.  Winter is the time of year when it is cold.  It is so cold outside. Elsa from Frozen has snow and ice powers.  Winter has Christmas in it.  Jesus was born that day. I like winter becase it has snow.  You can build a snowman. You can make a fire. You can eat snow.  Snow is so yummy!!!!  You can also eat icicles!

Honey and I cannot wait! Honey is a small teddy bear.  He is so cozy, soft, and warm. My dad gave him to me from Las Vegas. He has honey colored fur. I think he is so cute!  I am  with him right now, giving him all the love you can think of. I am holding him in my arm.  

I love eating honey. My bear, Honey, missed me while I was at Heartland co-op. I missed him too. 

 I'm thankful for...................................................................HONEY MY BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Votes by M

 Once we made a vote. We made 9,00000 cupcakes (chocolate and vanilla.) Then we asked everyone in the entire world what they wanted. Vanilla won! Vanilla is my favorite flavor. Something funny happened. Only one person raised his/her hand for chocolate! 

Then we set up a stand for a sprinkle contest. Strawberry against chocolate. These were homemade sprinkles. Strawberry won!  

Then they got  to chose the cupcake wrapper and the ingredients. Boy did they love that. Only one person raised their hand for chocolate! Boy that was fun.

I am thankful for JESUS.

Costume Trouble by M

Hi! My name is Hermione Granger. One day I couldn't get my uniform off! Somehow my wand was stuck to me (by the way,so was my skirt, shirt, sweater, socks and shoes). I do something .  I  perform a spell that makes a plant grow. Now, this is a magic plant--a very powerful one too. Then, I do something cool. I break a piece off the plant and rub it on my thumb. Instantly my uniform falls off. Something else cool happened. It did not hurt! So I put on my P.J's. Then I went to bed.

I am thankful for GOD.

A Family Feast by A

A feast happened before Grandpa Oreo and Grandma Nap died. We ate a Thanksgiving meal. 
It was so cool! 

We had turkey, ham, and green bean casserole (which I don't like).  For dessert, we had nut pudding. My favorite dish was sweet potatoes! Before the meal, we said a prayer to God to thank Him for our blessings.

Did you know that Squanto and Massasoit with Samoset started the first Thanksgiving? Well they did! Cool, right?  The English helped them. Squanto wanted to make peace with them. Massasoit (alas) said no!   They went to the English homes.  There was good feasting.
