My aunt and uncle, who live in Washington, D.C,, gave
me, Mark, Matthew, and Melissa a lego White House
for Christmas.  Melissa did the flag and she sorted the
legos in the box, but the rest, Mark and I did.

One of my Christmas Presents

did, and this is what it looks like.  I really like my present!

Leaves

My cousin found some leaves and showed them to me.
  I thought they were so beautiful so I decided to put them

Personal Narrative - by Katie Bull

Busted Lip

 "Come on Katie, we don't want to be late," My mom instructed me.  "I'm coming!" I said.  We     were going to the gymnastics place for my third birthday party.  I held my moms hand on the way into the party.  "Hi Katie!" everybody said at once.  "Hey!" I shouted back.  I started laughing and playing with my friends.  We slid down the slide and we jumped into a pool of balls.  While we were playing, I rushed up the stairs to the slide, I slipped and busted my lip right open.  It hurt a lot.  Mr. Randy thought I would need stitches.  So, I went to the hospital.  The doctor looked at my lip.  He said "It will be ok, but it will be swollen for a few days."  They gave me a little stuffed puppy dog that I named Gate because it looked like a brown gate.  As soon as I got back, it was time to eat my cupcakes.  Since my lip was swollen, it hurt I ate them.  They tasted so good!  I went home after that.  It was a lot of fun!!! 

The Legend of an answered prayer by Katie and Karen

Answered Prayers

Once upon a time, in Minnesota, lived a mother named Joanne and her 10 year old daughter named Mary.  They secretly lived in the nurse’s room at Mary school where Ms. Joanne was the nurse.  They couldn’t afford to live elsewhere.  Mary’s father died four years ago from complications of surgery.  The hospital bills and funeral costs were taking a lot of their money.  They lived very meagerly, with barely enough to eat. 

One day, they found themselves out of food.  Ms. Joanne then told Mary, “I will check my pocket to see if we have enough money to buy some dinner.”  Joanne looked surprised when she couldn’t even find one penny.  Mary was sad so she went to a corner where she had spent some time with God and prayed.  “Lord, I know that you can work miracles so I want to ask for a loaf of bread and some milk, Amen.”   She then went about her business knowing she could trust the Lord with her life. 

About an hour later, they heard the door open and they saw a man carrying a grocery sack.  He walked in and said, “Hi, my name is Jerry, and I am a substitute here, and I was praying this morning and felt I should bring this with me today.”  Mary’s eyes widened and she peeked inside the bag.  She exclaimed, “ I prayed for a loaf of bread and milk and here it is!!!”  Jerry smiled, knowing that he was used by God that day.  They all decided to thank God for providing for their needs in a beautiful way.  Little did they know that day, but Joanne and Jerry would then start to date, and later marry.  They were never hungry again and they moved out of the school into a quaint little home down the street.

Snowflakes- My Sense Poem

Snowflakes
Looks like white little shapes in the air
Sounds like crunchy footsteps walking on snow
Tastes like droplets of water on my tongue
Smells like the cool ice above my head
Feels like soft wet snow under my feet

My Clay Mario World

 Mark, Melissa, my cousin Luke,and I are planning to build a 1 foot 8 inch clay Mario World.  It is a lot of work, but we are going to work hard to make the best Mario World that we can build.  We are going to get a lot of clay so we can build it.  It will probably take about a year or so, but we are determined.
I will show the picture of the MW when we are finished, hopefully sooner than later!

My Computer!!!

A month and a 1/2 ago I got my own computer!  It's a black compac computer.  Melissa and Mark got the same computer as I did.  My mom and dad bought it for us because we all needed to do home school on the computer.  School is going great!  I am doing school in my room,  Mark is doing it in the living room, and Melissa is doing it in the office. Its fun having a computer!

I lost my tooth

Two days ago, I lost my tooth!!!  This is what happened: I was at a good-bye dinner at my pastor's house and I was eating dinner when I started biting on the food, I would bite between the loose tooth and the teeth beside that tooth.  So I went to tell my mommy and my pastor's wife was listening and she said to pull my tooth out with a paper towel.  When I did, my tooth came out!!!  It was very exciting!!!  I have another loose tooth right now!!!  I bet I will have all my teeth that I'm supposed to loose out soon!!!

My Haikus

I've been writing some haiku's and I wanted to share some with you:
            Flowers               
   Flowers cool and bright                                                              
Shinning brightly in the grass                                  
    Flowers are pretty                                                                  

Bugs
Small tiny bodies  
Flying all in the cool air
Cute little beetles 

 Dogs                                                          
Dogs are chasing cats                                
Running round and round the house             
They stuff their belly                                                                                            


 Angels
 Pretty angel wings
They are flying through the sky

Christmas!!!

On Christmas, I woke up around 7:00 am, woke the rest of the kids up and told them to go in mom's and dad's room to go wake mom and dad up.  Then, my dad read the Christmas story from his Bible.  Last, we got to open our Christmas presents.  For Christmas I got some slippers, littlest pet shop, a stuffed animal dog that turns into a pillow, gloves and a sims card for my phone.  It was the best Christmas ever!
