Mad Lib
Four hundred years ago people knew little about our
brown universe. They thought that the earth was the
center of the entire sofa and that the sun and all of the
tables revolved around it. But then a/an
Spanish named Copernicus discovered the truth.
The earth revolves around the ball
10 times a year. Copernicus, whose last name was Dittrich, was born
in Warsaw, and he used one of the first pink
telescopes, which was invented by Daddy.
This primitive telescope was little more than two pieces of
Hamburgers stuck on each end of a/an keyboard.
In 1600 an Italian lifeguard named Galileo
expanded Copernicus's shiny theories, but during the
Inquisition in Italy he was quickly arrested. After
writing for six months in jail, Galileo was
forced to think.

Guests
Last Friday we invited some people named Mr. Jonathan and Miss Katrina
over to our house for dinner. They brought their ice cream maker
to make ice cream. It was really fun and yummy. It was very
hard to turn the ice cream maker at first, but then it got
easier.
When Mr. Jonathan and Miss Katrina were about to leave, we had some
more guest come over for the night. Her name was Miss Angela and
she had 3 children and she was pregnant. Her husband came over
too. They had to sleep in my room. My sister and I slept in
our brothers room.
Her children were named Cassie, Seth &
Grace. I had a lot of fun playing with them, especially
Cassie. Cassie is almost 4, Seth is 2 and Grace is almost
1. When they came Cassie and Seth were screaming for fun at the
top of their lungs in the house. That morning we had pancakes for
breakfast.
When it was time for them to
leave, my sister asked Miss Angela if they could have some
freezepops. She said "Yes". She gave my sister, mommy and I
a necklace and played the violin for us. Then it was time to
leave. We had a lot of fun!

The Pool Party
We were going to a pool and we saw our friend there. They all
homeschool like I do. We had snacks there. I can almost
swim. The water was 4 feet deep and I had to tip toe. There was a
tree house and you had to be 6 or older to go in it. I was past 6
and Abigail was 6. At first there was no boys allowed, but then
the girl who lived there, named Francesca said the boys were
allowed in it.

My Birthday
|
Yesterday was my birthday. I was 8. For breakfast I had
scrambled eggs and toast with strawberry jelly. Mommy served it
on a special plate. In front of the plate was a fish bowl with a male
Betta fish in it. It is red, purple and pinkish. I named it
"Red" because most of it was red. I didnt have to do
any chores because it was my birthday. My sister Abigail made me
a card. In the afternoon, my grandma was going
to take me shopping (we call her Grammie). When Grammie called
she said she was not able to make it. I was sad. Then my
mommy said that we could go shopping to buy me a Polly Pocket with the
money my other grandmother had sent me. While we were at the
store, we couldnt find the one we wanted, so I decided I could buy a
lower priced one and something else. Then Grammie showed up at
the store and took me shopping and I bought a Princess named "Belle",
a rubbery pink hair ball, and some Princess dressup
stuff. When we got home we had pizza for supper and then we
had chocolate cake with chocolate icing and Oreo ice cream. It
was Yummy!

The sprained arm
One Sunday evening in April, I was playing on a little playground that
we have and I fell off and sprained my left wrist. We had to
leave very soon for Sunday School class. When we went their,
everybody asked me what did I do to my arm and how did I do it.
My dad bandaged my arm.
On Wednesday night my teacher Miss Shelly prayed for my arm and my mommy prayed for it too!
My arm is much better now!

Yesterday
| When we were outside playing, yesterday, it was very hot! We
wanted to go on the slide and we saw fruit flies everywhere. I got a
towel and put some water on it and wacked them. We got very wet
by playing with the water from the faucet outside. B, A, ,& Z
brought dinosaurs outside and they got the dinosaurs dirty. I was
playing somewhere else with mud. That was my day.

Maple Sugaring
Yesterday, I went on a field trip with my homeschool co-op to Mill
Grove, the home of James Audobon. We were learning how to make
maple syrup and maple sugar. Everybody arrived and we got our
name tags. Our guides name was Tony. She told us that
if we want to make maple syrup we should go to a sugar maple tree and
drill a hole, in the months of February and March. Sap comes out
of the tree. The sap looks like water. She used me to show
how much of the sap is suga and it was only to the tip of my boot which
is about 2%. We got to taste the sap from the tree. We then
went to a place where there was fire and there was a story about how
the Indians discovered the Maple Syrup and sugar.
"Once there was a indian man who was very tired and he tried to find
some food, but he got lost and he found his way back home. He put
his ax in a tree and he went to bed. His wife woke up the next
morning and it was so cold outside that she couldnt go get water from
the river and she saw a tree with water at the bottom of it where the
indian man put his axe in the tree. She tasted it and thought it
was water. She brought the sap into the house and put corn and
squash and beans and cooked it. When her husband woke up, he had
a taste of it and said 'What did you do to the stew?' and she said ' I
did nothing to the stew', he said 'it tastes like something I never
tasted before. Come over here and taste it!". She came and
tasted it and smiled, 'It's sweet water!" She said and that is how they
discovered about the sap."
We then went to another fire place
and there was a yoke, not an egg yolk, it was like a bull would carry.
(mommy here - this place showed how the colonials made maple syrup).
Some of the children carried it. Some thought was heavy and some
thought they were strong. There was a boy named Sam who thought
he could carry it for an hour.
We went to another place that
showed us how we make maple syrups. There are different kinds of
syrup. We tasted 2 different syrups, the first one was a fake
syrup and the second was the real maple syrup. It takes 40
gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup.
We then went to a gift shop and we saw books and maple syrup and maple candy. The maple candy was very yummy!

Doings
Yesterday was my sister's birthday. She got a new hamster from mommy and daddy and bubblegum from me.
Grammie brough "Madagascar" and we watched it. When Abigail came
back we watched "Bambi II". We then had dinner and went to
Missionettes. I made flowers, one is for mommy. My
friend Amber gave one to me and she is a nice girl with brown hair and
purple shirt. I have another friend named Jocelyn, she had a red and
white shirt and she is a very funny girl. I have another friend
Kaitlyn, she likes to sit next to me wherever I sit. She laughs when
Jocelyn talks about funny stuff. Then we made the flowers and did our
worksheet.
When we got cupcakes and we watched Madagascar
again because daddy hadnt seent it. There is a songs that
says "I like to move it, move it".
