[I am honored that William asked me to start out his blog entry. William's last day of kindergarten was on Friday. He had been wanting to invite the whole class of 23 children over for a play date. So we finally decided to go for it! Memorial Day weekend seemed like a good time to invite everyone. Seven were able to come, 6 of the 8 boys. It worked out just great! -Sara]

The kids whenever someone was coming they went right up into my room and hided. And the water gun fight worked out good. And the woodworking worked out just right. All of it worked out just right. We ate root beer float ice cream cones and watched a Veggie Tales movie from the projector screen. That was a really good plan. Then we could put on projecting puppet shows on the screen and we were all wild. And outside we were running away from the puppy, Belle. And after the movie, we got goodie bags. The end. That was a true story.

Note: What if a whole chapter book was a whole sentence?

We're having fun in Colorado with baby Jack. Eliana's first word after getting in the car next to Jack was, "Wow!" We've been enjoying hanging out with the little guy. He's really easy going and smiley. We got a chance to visit my aunt and uncle and a few of the cousins who live in the Denver area for dinner last night. Our visit was much too short! At least we have one more day with Adam and Jennie before we have to head home. I put up some pictures of the fun we've been having. Enjoy!

Dinner with the aunts and uncles

The bird who lost its shadow

One day a bird was in its nest. The bird lived in Minnesota. Then it got a little cold out, so she brought her nest with eggs in it to South Dakota because it was warm there. And then she looked behind her and there was no shadow! Then she went back to Minnesota and it was winter time there. Then she quickly said, "Come here, Shadow." Shadow listened to her. The bird flew back to South Dakota. Then she looked behind her and there was her shadow. The end. That's a fake story.

Note: I really wrote that story but it's a fake one.

Pedestrian helix

One day I went jumping on the rocks with Dad and we went for a picnic in the middle under the spiral walking bridge. And after we went on a picnic we jumped on the rocks by the Mississippi River. And Eliana went with. And Mom was at home because she had book club. I jumped to the closest rock to the rapids and I jumped back to get some more rocks. And then I jumped back to the closest rock to the rapids and I threw those rocks in the river. And then I jumped back to get more rocks and then I jumped back to the closest rock to the rapids. I threw those rocks in the river. And then I jumped back to get more rocks and then I jumped back to the closest rock to the rapids. I threw those rocks in the river. The end. That's a true story.

Note: And we jumped back up, too, to have the chocolate milk from our picnic.
Note 2: Our picnic was from Burger King.

William's class got to do chapel for the school last week. They did a little play about how a shepherd takes care of his sheep. William was a sheep. He also got to read the day's bible verse into the microphone. The whole class did a great job. Of course, when he came home with sheep ears, Eliana wanted some too. We made a short video of William singing "Jesus is my shepherd." Eliana added the "baas." They were both feeling a little silly, as you will see.

Today I made a couple movies for you. In the first one, I only wanted you to hear me sing the ABCs. I didn't want the camera to see me, so I was hiding. In the second one, I was driving my car and not worried at all about the camera, so you can see how cute I am. Enjoy!

Hammin' it up with Happy and Hoppy

This slime makes my skin so slippery!

I decided to April Fool my Mommy while she was making dinner this evening. Well, honestly, it was just really fun to smear banana all over the table, my face, arms, legs and hands. The fact that it was April Fools' Day happened to be convenient. Mommy thought I was just sitting in my booster seat eating that little leftover bit of banana while she cooked. Hahahaha!
