Birthdays and Grandparents

Mommy's birthday came and went. I was so excited for it. Daddy got a spinny office chair with wheels for her. He asked me, and I said I would. What he asked me was if I would be willing to make a big blue bow to put on her present. Of course I said yes. Why would I say no to a craft?! Anyway...for Mommy's birthday present from me I gave her a water coloring of a turkey. It was all I could do not to tell her! Daddy made her a card. The card was a piece of paper folded in half with a leaf stamp on top and some writing on the inside. Daddy's not much of a card maker. I used a card that I had already made for her. It was a yellow piece of construction paper folded in half(like Daddy's)! On the front of the card it had a piece of paper with a turkey on it. I used Mommy's punches to make the turkey. On the inside it had lot's of word stamps. Mommy loved her presents and cards. Oh yes! I almost forgot to tell you. Mommy's birthday was on November 22.

We are going to go to Grandma and Grandpa Keist's house for Thanksgiving. Well...actually I'm writing this at my Grandparent's house! I'm having fun. I started a cat puzzle, built a dream house out of legos, and met uncle John and aunt Beth. The trip here was not fun. Well except for the fact that Mommy got us activity pads with a marker that revealed the invisible ink. I got headache's, tummyache's, but thankfully I did not get carsick. Usually I do. Well we're here and the car trip's over. That's all that matters. When we were in Ohio Mommy said Grandma had got a craft thing for me. That's all she would tell me. Well, I said I wanted to spend some time with Grandma, but Mommy asked me if I wanted to write on my blog and I said yes, so I had better go do something with her. I had fun writing on my blog. Next time!

The Battle Store

A few weeks ago for my schoolwork I had to write a story using my spelling words and this is the story I wrote:
"Get a free sample!" the baker yelled. Tobin walked by.
"Do you know where the battle store is?" he asked.
"Speak up kid.Ya don't have to mumble. Lemme give ya an example of how of how to talk.
"I said do you know where the battle store is?"yelled Tobin.
"Quiet down! These doughnuts are about to topple over! Just a second. Lemme adjust this cable here. There. Now son, you're much too young to go to that store. Don't go around telling fables. But I'll tell ya what you can do. Go settle in the jungle!"
"You're no help. I'll go find somebody else. So there."
"Wait kid. Ya forgot your bundle of doughnuts!"
"I don't want any!"
"Come back here son."
"Don't call me kid or son. Ah. The battle store. Thank you Mr. mean baker.The Lord bless you with no customers!"
"But I want customers!"
"Ha ha to you. I found the battle store!"

This is my first story on my blog. I hope you like it. That was the whole reason I put it on my blog!These are my spelling words. Can you find them?:sample, battle, mumble, example, topple, cable, fable, settle, jungle, bundle. (You can make it a game out of it if you want). This is not my only story on my blog. There will be more!

First Blog Post

I love crafts. I have already made a music stand to hold my songs. I made up a song called Lord You Are My Rock. I've many songs, and I chose some of my favorites and put parts of them together into one big song.

Anyway, back to crafts. I'm decorating ornaments. Mommy got them at some kind of store. 48 for 5 dollars. You can tell they are cheap. They are full of scratches, but when you put rub-ons on them they don't look so bad. Mommy also taught me how to emboss, so the ornaments are also filled with little red snowflakes. By the time you read this I will probably have finished decorating them! I also made little turkeys by tracing my hands on brown construction paper, and adding little details. I got a head start on Christmas presents. I made some things out of clay too, and Mommy helped me bake them. Also, I made little cereal box sandals. Two pairs, but unfortunately the second pair was too big for me. Oh well. I'll grow into them.

I'm doing well on my piano lessons. Mrs. Davenport asked Mommy if she'd been helping me with my songs. Mommy said no, and Mrs. Davenport said wow! some of the songs I've learned are: Son of My Soul, O Worship the King, Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee, Now Thank We All Our God, This Is My Father's World, and Angels We Have Heard on High. I also made up a song on the piano called My Family. The only song not listed that I have learned is Silent Night. I think that's my favorite.
