new chicks

We hatched some chicks. They are so cute.
It's really hard to hatch chicks.
Here is a list of things you need.

1. A willing hen.
2. Fertilised eggs.
3. A warm place that is soft.
4. Patience.

We had to borrow our neighbor's eggs since we didn't have a rooster. We had to mark the eggs so they wouldn't get mixed up with non fertil eggs. Sometimes other hens will lay ther eggs next to the ones you're trying to hatch. I was half way done with 8 eggs when catastrophe struck. When I was putting eggs in the fridge when I saw 4 marked eggs in the fridge AAAAAHHHHHH. My little sister had put them in the fridge. Two days ago 2 of the 4 hatched on the 20th day. The third chick hatched that night. The fourth one didn't have a chick at all.

Here are some pictures.


This is my chick named zim.

Go away.
My name is zim. Who are you?

you look weird.

OK I'm joking. My names beautiful.

Poems

I memorized this poem by John Greenleaf Whittier.

We search the world for truth. We cull
The good the true the beautiful.
From graven stone and written scroll.
And all old flower fields of the soul.
And when the seekers of the best
We come back laden from are quest
We find that all the sages said
was in the book our mothers read.

My family and I wrote this poem. We were trying to re-write the same poem using modern language. We think its pretty funny.

Yo, we’re goin out to find the good stuff
We separate it from the bad fluff
In printed junk and from the net
And from old homies we will get
And when the punks go for the best
We come back loaded to our nest
We find that all ya’ll seniors said
Was in the book yo Mommas read.

This is a poem I found in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I like to say it as fast as I can.

Dear friends we surely all agree.
There’s almost nothing worse to see.
Than some repulsive little bum
Always chewing chewing gum.

By Roald Dahl

America is Special

One thing that makes America special to me is the Liberty Bell. It is a huge bell that is older than the United States. It was made in London and came to the State house in Philadelphia. Did you know that the first Liberty Bell cracked the first time they rang it? They ordered a new one and it cracked too. I think it's pretty funny!

Another thing that makes America special to me is the Statue of Liberty. In it's left hand it holds a notebook with the date it was dedicated to America; July 4, 1776. On the notebook it's in Roman numerals which would be July IV, MOCCLXXVI. Did you know that it's index finger is eight feet long! The cool part about it is that it's three feet taller than my. That's pretty big finger! LOL!

Another thing that makes America special to me is the White House. Not only does the President work there but he can go bowling, swimming and to a movie theater IN his house! I wish we had that kind of stuff in our house.

Another thing that's really cool is the Golden Gate Bridge. It's almost two miles long and it took four years to build. It's held up by 80,000 feet of cable. It must have been pretty hard to build it. Guess what? The Golden Gae Bridge isn't really golden or yellow, it's orange!

I think Mount Rushmore is a great part of America. Did you know that President Lincoln's mouth is 18 feet wide and that each president's face is sixty feet tall and twenty feet wide. The four presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Our home school program was named after Thomas Jefferson! They used dynamite and jack hammers to carve away the rock and then they used tiny hammers. So that's why Mount Rushmore took 14 years to build!

I learned about Cliff palace in a book I read. Did you know that it has 217 rooms? It was home to the Anasazi people. They lived in caves up high on cliffs. Cliff Palace is the biggest one they built. That's what the book says anyway.

The Hoover Dam is a dam to keep the Colorado river from flooding. It was named after President Herbert Hoover and made from giant blocks of concrete. They used enough concrete to make a sidewalk around the earth! It's 726 feet high and it has 840 miles of pipes. The river is a lake now called Lake Mead. It's 100 miles long. The cool part about it is that it's so gigantic.

My Mom is happy now because I'm finally done and she doesn't have to type any more and I'm happy because now I get to pass off something in my scout book!

awarding

two night ago I went to pack meating. I got three awards two red beads and a basket ball belt loop.

Smart Habit Saturday

I have made my bed every morning for two whole weeks for SHS. I didn't want to start a new habit last week but I'm going to start one this week. I'm going to start changing my baby's wet diaper at least once a day till she's potty trained. I'm going to do it because it sounds easy and my mother will be so happy that I won't have to pick another habit for a whole year probably.

So once a day i am going to change the baby's diaper whenever my mom asks me to.
Check out my new joes goals in my side bar!

Excitment Fun Joy

I'm playing basketball again this year. YAY!!!! We've had two games so far. My coach said that for every thousand rebound points we would each get $1. Every time the ball bounces after the shot we would get 50 points and if we caught it without it bouncing we would get 100 points. I got $1.25. Oh ya! My Mom doesn't like people rewarding me for having fun but I like money so who cares! It was a good game. We won 28-14. My team played really well and got lots of rebounds. For treats we got lemonade and Teddy Grahams. I like treats so who cares!

After that my Dad and I went and played basketball at the gym which was really fun. I have this new thing where I shoot from certain spots and when I start getting them every time I can start shooting three pointers. Three pointers are cool because they are the highest points you can get in the game. Except for shooting from half court where you get 50 points and then except for shooting from the other team's basket where you get 100 points. Well, at least I think you should!

Smart Habit Saturday

My habit this week was making my bed every day and I did. Every morning my Mom would ask me if I needed to make my bed and I said, "I already did." Then finally she stopped bugging me about it.

The end.

Smart Habit Saturday

My Mom made this challenge up. It’s called Smart Habit Saturday. I saw it on my Mom’s blog and I wanted to do it too. My new habit is making my bed every day. Before I started doing this I had to make my bed every night before I went to sleep because I never made it in the morning. It’s better to make it in the morning so you don’t have to keep yourself wide awake when you’re tired and you want to go to bed.

I’m going to make a sign to put in the bathroom to remind me to make my bed in case I forgot when I got out of bed.

The End.

Acid Factory

Go down to the bottom of the page to find a really cool game. This is just a small version of the game. If you want the full version click here. This game is about deadly mazes.

Ps. Too bad my mom wont let me play it because she makes me do jobs all day.

Pss. Poor me.

Get Out The Tissues For This One

I got attacked by a Cheeta three days ago. It wasn’t very fun. It was very painful, very hurting, very sad, very mad, very glad, very plaid. Yep, it’s all those things. Believe me it is. YOU’D BETTER NOT THINK IT’S FUNNY EITHER, GOT IT!

Ok, now that I’ve calmed down I can write more about it. I was taking my kitty out to it’s cage when it started attacking me. The next day we found a hole on my kitty’s neck. I don’t think that had anything to do with THE ATTACKING but my Mom thinks so. That’s all I’m going to write about that situation.

Situation #2

Last night I cleaned with my Dad. We had to clean out one whole side of the garage. We did it for my Mom because she’s lazy bones. She had an Organizing class coming over and she didn’t want everyone to see what slobs we are. Wait no, what a slob she is. Ya, there you go. That’s the end of that situation.

Situation #3

Wait, no.

Situation #4

A week ago. Well hold on. Erase that. Two months ago I had this scout project where we went to Home Depot to build bird houses. Two months later I decorated it as a gingerbread house. P.S. it wasn’t gingerbread, it was wood. I used my Halloween candy and some Christmas candy that I bought WITH MY OWN MONEY. Let’s calm down now. It looks fantastico!

……………..Aloha, I’m back finally! I just had to hurry and get these picture here. Just look please. I mean it!

This is one of the problems with candy houses. Invasions!

This last situation is going to be very sad because I’m leaving.

Situation #5

Blog-a-Rama

I got a lot of candy for Halloween. I walked for three miles as usual. I had to drop off my candy and go out again because it was too heavy. I went with my friend's dad like I have for the last three years. My Dad was in Louisianna. I made a really spooky pumpkin and it looks like this. TA DA! My Mamma helped me carve it. She is so wonderful because she helped.

We had a pack meeting last week about Scouts in Shining Armor. I decorated a pretty cool shield. That's a wolf, and eagle, mountains, scout symbols and a flag. I like to wack my sister with the sword. It's pretty fun I tell ya.

Primary Program

Today my sister got clawed in the neck by her kitty. Then we had to give our kitty a lesson and we told it not to do that again. So we put it outside and didn’t play with it for the rest of the day. I think it learned a lesson not to claw people.

Then we started listening to this conference talk about journals. I learned that you write in your journal at least once a day. I’m going to start doing that. Like right now. I already am!

This morning when we went to church we did a primary program. We sang songs and sat and hushed for the whole time. I sang a solo for one of the songs, Follow the Prophet. I was Noah. I wore fabric on my head and a robe. I looked a lot like Noah. I should have worn a white beard! I was a little scared to go up and sing but I did it anyway. I did such a good job that people threw flowers and candy at me and wanted my autograph. Yay for me! I didn’t feel the spirit or see any Angels. Better luck next time.

Skating Fun

Today I went skating with my friends. We had a lot of fun, AS USUAL!!! They have these big jumping toys and we did that for half the time. Then my friend fell on his head. Now he has another injury to go with his finger that my Mom ran over. It wasn't my Mom's fault that he fell down in front of her but we doctored him up anyway with a bandaid. Just call me Dr. Grey at 1-800-skate-patrol. P.S. what I'm trying to say is, don't call me.

My two friends really livened up the party. See ya.

Lunch Time

Once upon a time there was a lion and a zebra. They became friends. The lion was my baby sister. For about a week they were friends. One Saturday the lion said, "I'm hungry. Can I have some lunch?" The zebra said, "Sure." So the lion gobbled him up. The End.
