Tadpoles!!!!!

We are raising them for Science.  The friend who gave them to us said they are either bullfrogs or green frogs.  When we got them the big one had back legs, but no front legs.   The little one still does not have legs.

His tail will start to shrink and then he will need a rock to sit on. Then he will go out and seek his fortune!

P.S. Do frogs have fortunes?

The Dinosaur Museum

It was a sunny day. I was on my way to the dinosaur museum. The tickets were free because it just opened.

As I was walking down CR 9 with my hands in my pockets, dark clouds piled in. I noticed a drop of rain and looked up, it was a downpour! I tried to run. Suddenly, I slipped in some mud and fell face down. I heard a rumble in the distance and got up and started to run as fast as I could go toward the museum.

I turned right on to Old US 11. The rain poured so hard it slowed me down. I was soaking when I got to the museum.

I gave the ticket man my ticket. I questioned him, “how strong are the holders?”

The ticket man said, “Don’t be afraid Sonny. Our Dino holders are so strong that they will hold the Dino bones.”

I went to the first section. It was crowded. My favorite dinosaur was the stegosaurus.

I moved on. I was looking at the T-Rex, when suddenly I noticed the behemoths skeleton fall! The steel holders held the skeleton but not to the floor! All the skeletons fell like dominoes!

I jumped back just in time as a T-Rex crashed into the wall. On the other side of the wall was the flying reptile display. The crash was so hard that all the displays swung off the strings so they looked like they were flying. The bones fell and hit souvenirs.

Very soon the air was crowded with flying bones and displays and screams and I saw people running. A bone smashed into some brick and the bone broke in a million pieces.

Then the bricks flew into another wall. The flying and falling settled down. Soon the screams and people running stopped.

I was stuck in the corner, surrounded by the flying reptile display. I could not get out!

The museum guards started cleaning up the mess. The guards saw me. They started to dig me out.

When I get home, I tell my Mom. She said, “Your teasing me!”

It was a interesting day.

P.S. I never found out what made all the skeletons fall.

Snowfort and snowman

First fort

Snowball Attack!

Today I built a snow fort. I got tired very fast cause the snow was heavy. The snow fort started to melt after a while.

First Snowman of Year

He did not stay around long.

Andrea and I made a snow man. He was fun to make, even though he did not last very long.

First Sledding of Season

Yesterday, there was enough snow to go sledding on the hills in the park. I sometimes had to be pushed. Once I fell over. And once Andrea tried a roll up sled. She fell off and the sled sledded down the hill. So Andrea had to get it. Soon the hill was mostly grass again.

Pajama Pants

Pj Momma teaches us to sew when we are about 7 or 8. Today I finished my first pair of pants. I got to pick the dinosaur material.  It was hard learning to sew, but fun. One of the hardiest parts was putting in the elastic. The easiest part was using the sewing machine on the straight stitch.

I don’t know what I want to learn to sew next.
