News of the Weather

This is where the deaceased geckos are buried, and even though I miss them, I am glad that they are in gecko heaven now

The Magical lighting and atmosphere is delightful

The little clearing is surrounded by ferns

The sweet little clearing is one of our favorite places

The Arched Fairy path leads to a wonderful little clearing

The sunlight shines so legendary a light upon the Arched Fairy path

The Arched Fairy path is an enchanted place

The Arched Fairy path: Beautiful whether close or far

The Moon shone bright in the day sky

The weather has been, well, interesting. It`s Mid-Winter, and it was sunny. Horribly, awfully, delightfully, wonderfully, sunny. I know, I know. A combination of good and bad and Winter and sunny makes no sense to you(probably), but it makes perfect sense to me. You see, the bad part is, Winter is supposed to be cold and snowy and windy and stuff like that, not sunny. So that`s the bad part. And the good part, well, look at the pictures and watch the video(and while watching the video, make sure you have the volume on, because I do talk a little). Anyways, things have been going great(and chaotic)otherwise, I guess. And I finished Emily`s Quest today. Oh, it`s so romantic! It`s just so amazing! It was just wonderful! I love it! Everything about it is just fantastic! It`s so, oh, I don`t know what word describes it! How about, a very pretty word that means amazing and awesome and beautiful and romantic and wonderful and the best all at once? Yeah, that would describe it. Oh, sometimes I got so mad at them... And other times I was so happy and delighted and excited! And such beautiful poems! Oh, Emily, you just have to be real! And Teddy, and Ilse, and Perry, too! I ripped up a bunch of wrapping paper as soon as I read that Perry was dead(but then later on I kept reading and found out he was still alive), and when Teddy said that the star he hated most was Vega of the Lyre, oh! I could have killed him! I just love those books!

What is it with 23? I keep seeing it! 10:23, 9:23, 6:23, 1:23, 23 23 23!!!!! It`s so annoying! I just want to stab the clock sometimes! It`s everywhere!

A few nights ago(rather late), I came up with this saying "The world is like a paint canvas, and everyone adds to the picture, good or bad." I wrote it in my diary so I wouldn`t forget. I thought of it while I was staring out my window at the star-laden night sky. The stars seemed to flicker and glow, as if they were on fire, and I kept seeing light silhoettes of trees in the sky. Everything was so Magical! A different king of Magic than the Magic of the Woods, though. The Magic of the Night is a more mysterious and shadowy Magic, but not in a dark, evil way.

The Woods! Oh, it`s like the Wood Between the Worlds from The Magician`s Nephew(Narnia)! It`s Magical! The Magic of the Woods is a light, airy, fairy Magic. It`s bright and serene and full of life! I`m so glad and thankful that God made this beautiful, gorgeous world for us, full of life and light and beauty!
Right now I`m waiting for the pictures and videos to be done loading from my camera, but when they are done I`ll upload them to this. Luckily I`ve got this to work on and keep me bust while I wait. It certainly takes a while for it to load 364 videos and pictures. Mostly pictures, but alot of videos, and videos take a bit longer to load than pictures, and at the moment it`s uploading videos. Yay. 63 more pictures and videos to go. While, at least it wasn`t 464. And they aren`t all videos, or even just mostly videos. Wow. This video is really taking along time. Grrr... I want to rip something into shreds. That`s what I like to do to relieve myself of something(like when I read that Perry was dead). Tomorrow is Rachel`s birthday. She`s turning 12. She`s my friend at Monday School. She likes horses too. We get along really well. Still loading the same video! Arrrrrg! I`m-going-to die! I want to bang my head on the wall, but that would hurt. Finally it finished loading that one video! 62 more to go! Minor relief, you`de think, but to me it`s a major relief! Those videos are still going to be the death of me(metephorically, yes)yet! Rrrg. Yay! It`s finally loading the last video! Yay! But darn! It`s taking do long! The video`s only exactly 10 minutes long! It`s shouldn`t take too long to load! But it is anyway. And it`s annoying. Yay! It`s done! Ok, just a sec... Hmmm... Darn! The video won`t load. Maybe some other time. Anyways, that`s all for now. Maybe later I`ll post some pictures of the Wild Labrynth. I made it yesterday. And I added some adjustments today. It`s really cool.

Something...?

I was checkin` out Avigail`s(my cousin) new blog(in my link list, Avi`s Blog), and I wanted to make another post. I don`t really know what to post, so I guess I`ll just say a few things. I`ve been reading the Emily of New Moon books. I`m on the third(last)book. They`re by L.M. Montgomery(not sure if that`s how it`s spelled), the author of Anne of Green Gables. The Emily books are really good.

Emily Starr(the Emily from Emily of New Moon) also has a problem with italics(she likes to use them alot, too much, perhaps), but I think mine is a bit worse. I`m insane about them. She writes stories and poems, like me also.

Anyways, I guess that`s all I`ve got to say, except...

Farewell I shall say for now,
But not forever I garantee,
Don`t forget why or how,
It`s not forever don`t you see?

It`s not my best, but I guess it`s good enough.

Winter

This winter didn`t have much snow, though we did get a little recently. It was the day before yesterday, around dinner-time. Papa told us to have lots of fun playing in the snow, because it probably wouldn`t be there the next day. So we played in it in the front yard until about 10:00 PM. Then we came in and ate popcorn and drank hot chocolate(I had tea, though), and then it was bedtime. There was some snow left the next day, but not much, and we made a big pile of it on the grass in our front yard. I got a big chunk of snow and sculpted it into a horse head. The ears melted last night because of the rain, though. It was alot of fun. There`s still some snow left. I plan to get some big chunks of it and sculpt some more cool stuff. I hope it snows again soon.

There`s the horse

And there`s me, holding a snowball.

Here`s a list of things I got for Christmas.

From Mama and Papa:

A horse calender(I love the horses in it!)

Two Chestnut Hill books

The Earthsea Trilogy(My favorite books in the world now!)

Gifts(a book written by the author of the Earthsea books, Ursula K. LeGuin)

A pink scrubby(I always liked scrubbies)

Body wash(I haven`t used it yet, but I bet it smells good)

Some face stuff(four of them, and two are peel-off! Yay!)

Socks(cozy socks!)

A big gold purse from Gene Juarez(with a little gold purse and wallet inside!)

A mini calculator(I love calculators! And I can spell hello on it)

Finger lights(they`re so cool!)

And... last, but certainly not least...

A camera!!!!! It`s a silver Kodak, and it`s so cool! On Christmas I took 217 pictures with it! It`s so cool!

From Grandma:

Pokerjoe(a Breyer horse, and he`s so cute! And he`s my first traditional sized Breyer horse!)

A 1000 piece horse puzzle(There`s so many horses!)

A book about horse anatomy(it`s really cool. I learned alot of stuff about horses that I didn`t know before)

And a horse jewlery box(it`s a musical jewlery box with a rearing horse inside that spins around!)

From Cyril:

A Nancy Drew book

And a tiny puppy jewlery box(it`s so cute!)

Yep, Christmas was a ton of fun. Grandma got Papa a Kindle, and Mama got him a Kindle cover. We got Cameron, Grandpa, and Uncle Mark little remote control helicopters. Courtney got me two little toy horses. They`re really cute. I haven`t named them yet. She got Avigail the same ones. Yesterday Papa helped me put all my pictures I took with my camera on my laptop. The Castle Top computer isn`t working, so I have to use my laptop to check my email and blog and Facebook and stuff like that.

That`s all the big news I`ve got for now.

Cartoons

This is cartoon Cyril. He isn`t finished, but I`m still workin` on it. Its really fun. I`m also workin` on cartoon Kateri. I`m guessing the hardest part to do on her will be her hair. It will be quite a challege, I belive. I can`t think of anything else to write, so I guess I`ll write another post later to make up for the short post(aka this one).

CARTOONS

Cartoons are fun to make,

They look so funny too,

I like to make them of,

My siblings but only two.

Cartoons are fun to look at,

They make me laugh and giggle,

When they`re really funny,

They make laugh and squiggle.

They look funny when I make them of Cyril,

Or my silly Kateri cartoons,

I make them look silly I make them look weird,

I make them so they look more like baboons.

All My Way

Training my dragons is broing, esspecially since theres this really evil lesson in the fire training. I got past it once, just a second ago. The only thing that gets them leveled up and is fun are challenges. Luckily, I`m pretty good at most of them, and most of them are fun. Except for one, the looping race. It doesn`t give you enough time, and they make it too hard to get points. The goal is to get two points, and the most I ever got was one! One point! Its crazy! I can`t stand it! Thats why I don`t do it. By the way, there was a mistake in the last post. I`ve unlocked the Astrid Tournament, not the Championship. I think that comes next.

Dragons, Dragons, Everywhere...

...Dragons, Dragons, on the screen! At least, thats where our dragons are. Excluding the one that lives in the forest. I haven`t seen it seen it, but I saw something small(about 13-14 in. long) and black running through the grass yesterday.
Proof:

1. I know they exist.
2. It wasn`t furry or feathery, so it couldn`t have been a rat, cat, mouse, squirrel, racoon, or bird.
3. Nothing besides the animals above(or the dragon) live in the forest.

On the X-box, I have all four dragons that I can have. Toothless, my first who is a boy, Raven, my second who is also a boy, Aster, my third who is a girl, and Frightful, my fourth who is also a girl. Toothless is the Toothless, Raven is called Raven because he looks like a raven(Grandma said he looks mean), Aster is partly named after the flower and partly named after the main girl character in the movie How To Train Your Dragon, Astrid, and Frightful, who also looks like a bird, is named after the Peregrine Falcon in My Side Of The Mountain. I have unlocked the last tournament, the Chamionship, and I am training Frightful. I`m planning to take a video of the Championship.

I Have Returned!

Yes, I am back! We had to change my password. Again. Urrgh. I have a cold, and a sore throat. Cyril and Kateri don`t belive me though. Art and Drama have started, and I love them! Cyril thought he would hate Drama, but after the first class he said he likes it more than Art! I`m really tired. I think it`s because I had a hard time getting to sleep(sore throat) and then I woke up in the middle of the night. Also, my head hurts. Again. Arrgh. Ow. Grrrrr. I am interested in photography. I took a bunch of pictures with the camera, mostly of flowers and blackberries(yum!). I tried to draw earlier, but I just couldn`t concentrate. I hate having a cold. I finished Black Beauty the other day. It was really good! Too bad it wasn`t any longer. I think I might fall asleep on the keyboard and type(with my head)a bunch of random letters and then probably accidently publish this post. So if you see a bunch of random letters that make no sense(not even to a baby), you`ll know why. Ahhhhhhhh! My head is killin` me! I`m gonna die! The other kids are playing hide and seek, but I just don`t have the energy. I did take a Benadryl pill, so thats probably helping me be sleepy, but I would be sleepy anyways. Rrrrrgh, so tired. I can barely keep my eyes open, but I`ll try, so you have something long to read to make up for the months I haven`t posted anything. Its been just five months, but it seems way longer. In that picture, Auntie Courtney was watching us, and we made cookies! We kept some cookie dough instead of baking them, because I like the cookie dough more than the baked cookies. We made some chocolate chip and some chocolate chip without the chocolate chips, so they were just cookies. I wish I wasn`t sick.

COOKIES

I really like cookies,

They are the best,

We bake some,

Then eat the rest.

I think I am going to fall asleep, but lets hope its not on the keyboard. I`m about to fall asleep. I`m so sleepy that I`m forgetting to type Ts or Fs or I type a W instead of an E or something like that. If I fall asleep, at least I`ll get some rest. I feel like taking a nap, but I don`t want to. I feel like I`ll miss out on something important. I did that once. When I got home from spending the night at Grandma`s, I went to my room and fell asleep, and missed having pizza and cheesybread. I haven `t taken a nap since then, except when I woke up early. After Papa left(which was around 5:45 A.M.)I would take a nap. But that doesn`t count, so I haven`t taken a nap since that one time. Cyril got a really big RC boat recently. Its really big, double propellered, and(since its double propellered) it has two motors. I haven`t seen it in action yet, but from what I`ve heard from Papa and Cyril(and Pippin too), its really, really fast. Since I can`t think of anything else to write, this is all I`m going to write. I think I`ve written quite a bit, considering how tired I am.
