Annie in the Air: Part Three

Annie got home and again told her mom what happened, but she still didn't know what the problem was. So they decided not to worry about it, and the next day, another weird thing happened.
While she was at school, doing her math, her chair's legs started walking over to the door. Her desk's legs, too, and she didn't notice until the legs of her chair and the legs of her desk started walking away from each other. but everybody in the class was staring at her. "Ahhh! said one of the students. "Annie's chair and desk are alive!!" The teacher went to Annie and said, "What is making you do this?" "That's what I don't know," replied Annie. "Well, I think you're pretending. If anything else happens like this, I'm sending you to the principal's office."
So, when Annie got home from school, she told her mom what had happened. But she still didn't know what was wrong.

Annie in the Air: Part Two

When Annie and her dad got to the house, her dad asked her how she went up so high and why she went up high. "Well, one of my friends from my class at lunch asked me if I wanted some orange juice, and, of course, I accepted it, and then I started to float up in the air." "How did that happen?" asked her dad. "I don't know," replied Annie. "I just floated up in the air, and there was a window that was open, and I just went right through it. Then I saw you, flying in the air, and so, then, you saved me." "How do you think you started floating?" asked her dad. "I think it had something to do with the orange juice that I ate, but I'm not exactly sure." "Okay, well, let's go ask Mom and see what she thinks," said Dad. So, they went to ask Annie's mom and told her what happened. Mom didn't know about any of it, and so they just didn't worry about it.
The next day, when it was lunchtime, another one of Annie's friends, named Emily, asked her if she wanted to have her orange juice. Of course, Annie accepted it, and then, when they went to their classroom after lunch, Annie started to hiccup. Hic, hic, hic! she went, and she tried to sit quietly in her seat, but soon the hiccups were so bad that she was jumping in her seat! "Why are you jumping up and down like that?" asked her teacher, Miss Manny. "I-hic! I--"Okay, so you have the hiccups. Now why are you jumping in your seat?" Before Annie could answer, (or at least try to answer) she jumped so high that all of the rest of the kids couldn't focus on their work. Soon, Annie jumped so high that she flew right through a window again! But this time, instead of floating, she was bouncing! Then, she bounced right into the house, where her Mom was.
Annie couldn't say anything. She had too many hiccups. But, when she'd gotten in the house, her mom was scared, so she yelled, AAh! which scared Annie and took away her hiccups.

Annie in the Air

Annie loved school. She loved her friends and how she could learn new things every day. Some days weren't as good as other days, but that was also one of the reasons she liked school. Every day was different.
But one day was a bad day, and she couldn't stand that one. Normally, she got to control if she had a good day or a bad day, but this wasn't that kind of a day.
It all started in the lunch room. There was a lunch lady that didn't like her for some reason, (Nobody knows what reason,) and her name is Mrs. Martee. She decided to do something, and so she thought and thought of what she could do.
When she got home, she made a magical spell on Annie, and it made her look like a kid. She knew that Annie loved orange juice, and so she got a bottle of orange juice, and she put a clear potion in it that makes people float.
The next day, Mrs. Martee went to the school when she looked like a kid, so she went to Annie' s table and asked her if she wanted the orange juice. When Annie drank it, she started to float up into the air. There was a window in the ceiling that was open, so Annie went right through it.
Annie was frightened, and she couldn't get down."What if I get hit by an airplane or a bird?" she thought. But then, she remembered that her dad was a pilot, so if he were flying right now, he might see her and get her somehow.
And that's exactly what happened. He stopped in the air and told her to hold onto the wing of the airplane, and so he flew slowly, and Annie safely got to the airport with her dad.
Then they drove home, and they lived happily ever after.

To Temple Square

My mom's cousin and her family went over to our grandma and grandpa's house. Her name is Cindy, and her husband is Russ, and Emmy is her daughter. We  wanted to welcome them to Highland, so we decided to go on a bunch of field trips.

One of the field trips that we went on was to Temple Square. (We go there each Christmas and see all of the Christmas lights that are hung up.)

Anyway, we went there yesterday and it was fantabulous.

We got to go upstairs and two missionaries brought us into a little room that had a TV in it, and we got to watch a little video all about family. Then we would move into the next room with a TV in it, and we watched a different video in a different room. All the rooms had things in them that were related to the video.

We also got to go to the , too.

One of my favorite parts of it was the beehive house. It was where Brigham Young lived. Two people showed us around the house. Some rooms we had gates in front of them because we weren't allowed to  go in them. Do you know why it was called the "Beehive House"? It was called the Beehive House because bees work hard together to make honey, and we have to work hard together to get what we need. After we got hungry, we went to the food place and ate sandwiches.

But there's always more to see at Temple Square.

What I learned at Temple Square is that family is very important, and that Jesus and Heavenly Father made it so that we can have a family. I also learned that our savior made it so that we could be resurrected and live with Heavenly Father again.

Gulliver's Travels: Chapter One

Lemuel Gulliver wanted to see the world and learn more, and so he went to London with a carrige. He said goodbye to his dad and went off to see the world.
He soon became a doctor, and then he went to study medicine. And someone asked Lemuel if he wanted to  go on a ship. Lemuel said that he wanted to do that, and so they did.
When they were on the ship, Lemuel's job was to take care of the sick people.
One day when they were on their ship, Lemuel heard a call saying, "Help! We're going to crash!" Lemuel looked up and saw a big, huge rock in the sea.
The driver tried to avoid it, but they were too late. The ship hit the rock and broke in half.
Lemuel was in the middle, so he fell into the ocean, and he finally bobbed himself up to the surface. Then he swam and swam and swam, and finally touched the ground, and got on the beach. He was there! On the other side!
When night came, he was extremely exhausted.
                                                          And that is the end of the first chapter.

My Freedom

I am very, very glad and thankful that my country is free and that I am free. I know that God made it so that I could be free and there are very wonderful people in the world that worked very hard to make it so that I would be free.

If I were not free, I would have to be a slave, and other people would make choices for me. My mom also said that if people were lame, deaf, blind, of something like that, then they would be killed because the people that made choices for the other people would think the deaf, lame, blind, or something like that, were not valuble, but that's not true. Everyone's valuble.

My mom is partly deaf, so she might've been killed if she were not in the United States of America, and she were not free.

I am very thankful that I can be free, and that I live in the United States of America.

The Things We Did

I have not written about much that we've done in school for awhile, so I'm going to tell you a little bit about the things we did.
One of the things we did was that we went to a dinosaur museum and got to see a bunch of fossils of dinosaurs, and one of my favorite ones was the t-rex's skull. It was really, really, REALLY big. Another favorite one was the-oh, I forgot the name of it, but it has a horn on its nose, and it has these curvy things on its head that are sticking up. That was another one of my favorite ones. But one of the things about that museum is that it's kinda small.
Another thing that we did is Daisy (our dog) had puppies! There are three of them, and they're all chocolates (in color) and, they're all girls! I'm really excited for when they open their eyes, and I hope they aren't all gone very soon, but they are a lot of work to take care of. One of my favorite things to do to take care of them is taking them outside, especially in the spring and the summer, when it's warm enough to climb trees, ride my bike, and do cartwheels in the grass.
Another thing that we did was a Doctor Seuss party, on March first, and we read a bunch of Doctor Seuss books, and after each one, we would do different things, like someone would do their favorite character, and someone would do the setting, the problem, the solution, and so on. Then we would pass the papers around and read the next book. Soon, we would have a list of things on each line, and we would take turns closing our eyes and pointing to a line, and then we would circle it with a crayon. Then, we could make our own Doctor Seuss story! (That is the story called "In my Mouth".) it was silly. My mom also made a grinchy cake. She makes really good cakes. (And bread, and soup, and everything!)
Another thing that we did was we finished reading The Wizard of Oz, and so we got to watch the movie of The wizard of Oz, with popcorn for lunch while we were watching.
I think that is all of the things that we did since the last time I wrote. I hope you can reply! Thanks for reading!

The Time Machine: Chapters Two and Three

The same people were having another dinner, and the time traveler had just came back from the future of his time machine. So, he was going to tell the story of what happened in the future, but we don't know the story yet, because we didn't read chapter four.

My mom doesn't think we should read the rest, and so we are going to read the book Gulliver's Travels instead.

Do you agree with this? Have you read this book? If you've read this story, tell me (us) what you think of it. (You can comment on the blog for this post.)

The Time Machine: Chapter One

There was a dinner at a time traveler's house, and the time traveler said that he could travel in time. Nobody believed him until he was going to get it, and then the people there started to get more curious.
The time traveler got a model of his time machine, and came back to show the people.
All of the people gathered around the table that the time traveler put it on to get a closer look.
One person that hadn't believed the time traveler was asked to push the lever, and he did.
When he pushed the lever, the model was gone, into the future.
                That is the summary of Chapter One.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and his mother were very poor. All that they had to eat from was a cow, and they didn't have enough money to get anything else besides the cow, and so Jack's mother sent him off to sell their cow.
When he went into the city to give his cow, he saw a man that called his name. Jack didn't know how the man knew his name, but he didn't dare ask.
"What?" he asked. "I would like to trade the cow for a bag of beans," came the reply. "Um...what do they do?"
"Plant them, and you'll see," said the man.

So when Jack got home, he told his mother what had happened. His mother was angry. She threw the beans outside the window and sent him to bed without supper (besides the fact that they had no supper to eat).
The next day, Jack looked out the window and saw a long row of pumpkins. "Look, Mother, look! Outside the window! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!" Jack was really excited. He'd never tasted pumpkins, and he was very anxious about what they could do with them. He soon found out what they could do with them; things like pumpkin pies. His favorite thing was a jack-o-lantern, because it had his name in it.

With their first batch of pumpkins, they ate ate them and made things out of them. With their second batch of pumpkins, they sold them, and soon they had enough money to buy two cows!

In My Mouth

In my mouth, my tongue has a name. His name is Thidwick. But he's a junk-food guy. He loves the taste of junk food. But there's also something weird that Thidwick has. He has horns!His horns are just like moose horns.
Every year they fall off (in the winter). One winter, Thidwick dropped his horns.

Then one night, he just ate and ate and ate junk-food. So he didn't get any sleep! That morning, Thidwick wanted to sleep and NOT be up! But every time people tried to wake him up, he just shouted,"Go Away!" and nobody would bother him.
