A few days ago we picked pumpkins. I picked a BIG one. It had a punched out side like a male turtle sitting. I want to make a jack-o-lantern and maybe plant some seeds.

Toad
I took a few toad pictures. he(or she) had very good camouflage. We lost him(or her) lots of times on the tree but we found him lots of times too.
Archery
On Monday we started archery class. I started with a Recurve bow. I tried a Compound bow once. A Compound is hard to shoot.
Today, I shot a short Long bow. My teacher brought me in a special bow to try. He had made it for his daughter when she was my age. It went a little better than the other bows. I hit an almost bull’s eye! One the other day and today’s bull’s eye was better.
Tomorrow we are just going to play games and show off what we learned. I will be sad when archery is over, it is fun.
Crazy Cleats
After my goal!
My Soccer team is the Crazy Cleats. June 14 is my last game. We will be gray because we are the visitors.
The Crazy Cleat Team
A few days ago I made my second goal in the season. I hope to try for another one at my last game.

Tiny and Medium
We found two tree toads. I named them Tiny (a boy) Medium (Tiny’s momma!). I have not found Giant this year yet ( Tiny’s daddy !). I do not know for sure, but I like to pretend.
Three-Toed Tree Toad
Author Unknown
A tree toad loved a she toad
That lived up in a tree.
She was a three-toad tree toad,
But a two-toed toad was he.
The two-toed toad tried to win
The she-toad’s friendly nod
For the two-toed toad loved the ground
On which the three-toed toad trod.
But no matter how the two-toed tree toad tried,
He could not please her whim.
In her tree-toad bower,
With her three-toed power,
The she toad vetoed him.
Timmy
Today Mark found a garter snake near the woods. I petted it. I named it Timmy. It turned red because it was angry and it turned around quickly at me. I decided not to play with it anymore.
Happy Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I’m wearing green, are you?
Tapping trees
We tapped our maple trees two days ago. It was fun. I helped Mark tap the trees. Later we will make maple syrup and maple sugar and maple candy.
So far we only have a little bit of sap, because it is sort of cold outside still.
Sledding
We went to Oxbow park. The big hill had a lot of big handmade bumps. We don’t play on the bumps because they are not safe. Our friend got really hurt going over bumps the wrong way last year. So we went to the Little Hill. There were a few bumps, but I could go really fast on the sides where there were a lot of footmarks.
I like going to Bonnyville Park’s hills better. But we don’t go there as often because it is farther away. It is harder to go there because we go during the school day. If it isn’t a school day there are a lot of people!
Even though we have not gone to the parks much this year, we can still go sledding in our back yard and there are hardly any bumps. Unless you go over the side!
