how many funny things can Hope say?

Hope loves it when I dress her up and take a " pic- a-ture " of her. I just wanted to post about Hope. She is my sunshine!

All of Hope's cute sucker photos!

Hope loves Sarah! at bathtime she always says, " I want to take a bath with Darah! "

At a campout downstairs Hope said the cutest thing. " Yay!"

Hope is so funny when she discovers things. Yesterday we were in my room and Hope discovered a picture on my wall. She said, " Look at dat! I found somim!" ( " Look at that! I found someting!" )

Best of all, she's TOOT! ( cute)

classroom, nothin' is like ours

I just wanted to tell about the classroom. When it wasn't there, I didn't go downstairs a lot. Now, it's my favorite place to be! This is a cute picture. Too bad it isn't in the classroom! Speaking of cute that is Hope's favorite word. She says it a lot. It's so CUTE because she says it when she's looking at books, her favorite thing to do. She says, " Toot! Oh toot!" It's so TOOT!

One Thursday we had a snow day! Then the front yard was our classroom. We made a snowman and a igloo. (shown here)

Sometimes the church is kind of like a classroom. We sometimes go there to do crafts with an elderly lady. Here, we made witches. Remember, our classroom is much nicer!

We like to read and write and do 'rithmatic in it!

Best of all, we can learn a lot in it!

We do service with other families who homeschool. here, we are painting Susan and Richard's shed. I just wanted to do a coverup on school. the picture above is the classroom!

Best of all, we have the greatest teacher I could ever ask for! My mother!

Chimps chatter.

I made tons of interesting sentences from one boring old sentence: Chimps chatter. I hope you will find them detailed and interesting. When you comment, tell me which sentence you think begins with a gerund verb.



Noisy, annoying chimps chatter.


Are those noisy, annoying, chattering chimps going to fall down from that gigantic, leafy, beautiful, old oak tree?


At the highest branch of a gigantic, leafy, beautiful, old oak tree, two very noisy and annoying chimps won't stop chattering.


To chatter at the top of the tallest,oldest, most beautiful oak tree around, is wonderful for the chimps, but noisy and annoying for the people.


Chattering in front of the dissapointed audience, the chimps sit in a gigantic oak tree chattering in a place where they can barely be seen.


Annoying! Those noisy chinps won't stop chattering and the dissapointed audience doesn't like the zoo anymore!

The Argument of the star and moon

For an assignment, I wrote a conversation. It is about the star and the moon. It kind of rhymes.


Says the star to the moon," I am better than you, because there are many of me and only one of you."


Says the moon to the star," How wrong you are! I am the easiest to see at night."


Boastful star talks back to moon, "When clouds are out , or raining you see, it is easiest to see a star like me."


The moon is not one giver-upper so back to the star he talks," Not true, not true. On either of those nights, none of us are in sight."


The star becomes furious! " Well, I am a star that makes up the big dipper! What do you make up? Nothing!"


"Oh. Well, is the big dipper so important? You don't have astronauts come to visit you and look like a man!" boasts the moon.


The star did not want the moon to end up being better in this argument so he said, "I never change shape, you do. Only when you are full you look like a man. Now, confess. I must be better."


"You can't make me confess, and you never will! Even in a hundred years I still won't confess!" said boastful old moon. "You confess!"


The star and the moon have been fighting ever since they were discovered about who's better. Still, not one of them has confessed. No one knows if they will ever stop. Which one do YOU think is better?

Sarah

Sarah loves to ba outside, and can get very dirty. Here we are at KJ's baseball game. Oh sorry! I forgot to tell you that I was going to post a little bit about Sarah! Boy, is she a cutie!

KJ can be funny.

KJ likes to do funny things with Honey. Here he is stuck between the screen door and regular door in the kitchen! Another funny thing he did with Honey, was put a hat on him so he could be the cat in the hat!
