Recently I (and Butterfly) got two new Brad Stine DVDs, called ''Put A Helmet On!'' and ''Wussification''. They're great.

I also got a new Webkinz, which I named Remus. He is a racoon. Butterfly got a cat which she named Princess. This is Remus.



Little Guy has started to chew his shirt which led to a bib. Big Guy is no different. He throws things and enjoys videos. Butterfly is still doing animal stories (me not so much) with our toys. I have been looking in a box that Mommy has school books in. I have this habit of taking books out and perusing them, (not reading them from beginning to end) which my parents are trying to cure. The books include ''Ereth's Birthday'', ''Socks'', and ''The Flying Flea, Callie, and Me''. One time a frightening thing happened while I was looking at ''Ereth's Birthday''.



While I was looking at this book, Mommy screamed. I didn't know what it was about, but I soon found out. Ladybug Sparkle had fallen from Mommy's arms! I hoped she wasn't badly hurt, but she was not acting normal. While Mommy was making phone calls trying to figure out what she should do, I was completly out of control.  Finally, Mommy called 911, and an ambulance came to take her to the ER.(the police were there too) Daddy arived home from work just then. A homeschooler Mommy had called to help out came a few minutes later. Thankfully, Ladybug Sparkle was fine except a red bump on the back of her head, and could come home quickly. God had our little Ladybug Sparkle in His hands!



And that's what happened recently. 

As the hero flys over the town, he spots a little doorway in the side of a building. It has a big, red, blinking button on it.

Quickly swallowing the last of the Crackerjack, the hero swoops down and pushes the button. The door opens. He goes in. Into the sewer system and, C-R-A-S-H...!

As the hero picks himself up he sees who he hit, TIGER BOY and Bananna! Of course Bananna yelled, ''Yikes!'' and fled for his life out of the room.

''I'm going to stop you, Tiger boy!'' cries Super-Otis.

''Says who?!'' says the villian.

After a pause, the hero blurts out, "Me and God.''

Immediately another karate fight breaks out. After a long fight Super-Otis asks ''Do you want to take your pill yourself Tiger Boy?'' 

''I'll see you take it.'' The villian picks up a bottle labled Tiger-pill and holds it out.

Without a moment to spare, the hero grabs one of the pills and shoves it into Tiger Boy's mouth. No sooner the villian has the pill swallowed before he starts to chuckle. Soon he was laughing out loud. In between Ha Ha Has and Ho Ho Hos he gasps: ''Please.'' ''Help!''

Quickly the hero helps him vomit the pill. (Yuck)

After two long gasps for breath, Tiger Boy gasps, ''You're right Super-Otis. God made our sense of humor, and it is not up to me to expand it.''

''Exactly.'' says the hero. ''Oh, and would you like to tour my lair with me?''

''Sure! Swell thing!''

And so it be, as Tiger Boy reached up to the ceiling and pulled a light cord, and all the pill-making machines shut down.

So the two pals go back to tour Super-Otis' lair, and to receive the 100 doller check from the President to Super-Otis for saving the town. But just as their going to start the tour, the red phone rings, and so here we go ring-ring-ring again. 

Super-Otis giggled so much that he threw his lunch tray at the window. Then he dropped down under it. Then it dropped down on his head.

When he came to his senses it didn’t take long to figure out where he was. He remembered it all. While he was sitting there he suddenly remembered he had to save the world. The villianous works of Tiger Boy were still alive.

He ran over to his cabin door. He finds it locked. He then grabs an electrical cord and plunges it into the door. The door burns away to nothing.

He runs outside and to his surprise he finds his cape there. He fires it up. And this time...

...HE REMEMBERED TO HOLD ON!

So he sails high over the town and rushes threw a trap door in his lair. He jumps down in front of his computer and begins to look for clues.

The computer tells about the Tiger-pill, the Tiger-chemical, and what they do.

Then the hero fires up his cape again. Then he goes circling over the town to try and find Tiger Boy’s secret hideout while he munches on Crackerjack.

TO BE CONTINUED…   

Tiger Boy chuckled as he turned some knobs on his TV screen and the picture of Super-Otis laughing went away.

''I've done it at last!'' he laughed.

''Done what at last?'' asked his sidekick Banana the monkey, who had just come in.

''Gotten to Super-Otis' head.'' answered Tiger Boy crossly. ''First time.''

''What is in this stuff?'' asked Banana.

''What stuff?'' asked Tiger Boy. ''You mean the Tiger-pill?''

''Yes. I wanted to know what was in it.''

''Sugar. And Vitimins A, B, C, D, and K. But the most important part of all is the Tiger-chemical.''

''Is that the chemical that is making the teachers go nuts?''

''Yes. By putting the pill in their cafeteria food, I make them go crazy. Then it will spread to the students, and then everyone.''

''So that is why you send me to the cafeteria everyday!''

''Yup. And stir that mixture a tad more. I want to get it into the colleges today.''

TO BE CONTINUED...      

As the balloon lands on the platform in the Comedian Camp, the musclebound thug drags the hero out of the balloon and throws him into a cabin and locks the door.

Here the hero sees:

- Men forced to tell jokes non-stop for 24 hours a day.
- Woman forced to go to the camp circus and laugh at every joke the clowns tell.
- Children forced to listen to comedian shows on the radio.

Alas! How could Super-Otis' plans could have been turned upside down like this?

Worse still, he is forced to watch comedian shows on TV and listen to them on the radio, to tell jokes to himself four times a day, and at mealtimes he is taught to throw his food insted of eating it.

Why he is wondering why everyone is going so crazy, all of his lessons seem to get the best of him. Before he can help himself, he starts to giggle, ''tee-hee tee-hee.''

''Flying Sandsnakes!'' he yells. ''It is Ho Ho Ho even happening to Ha Ha Ha me!''

But before he can say anything more he drops to the floor, trying to catch his breath, but giggling just the same.

Oh no! What will ever happen to the hero, Super-Otis?

And the villianous villian, Tiger Boy?

These wonders are for you to wonder about.

TO BE CONTINUED... 

Now I want to share my view on autism. Since I have two brothers with autism I notice basic struggles and misunderstandings between me and my brothers. I want to talk about me, my older brother Big Guy, and my younger brother Little Guy.

Big Guy's everyday habits are:

.Walking around making stimmy motions with his hands.
.Always he does this holding a toy.
.Watching Videos.
.Sitting down looking at a book.
.Rocking on the sofa listining to music.

It is very hard for me to understand his behavior. For example, sometimes when I chase him away from doing something bad, he will laugh. Mommy says that his laughter might mean something else.

Now Little Guy:

.Running around looking at the ceiling.
.Walking around with a shoe or a toy with strings.
.Looking at books.
.Watching Videos.
.Toys that move or make noise.

Little Guy often gets on my nerves by making a mess while we are cleaning up or wreaking up my toys.

Even so, Big Guy often comes over to me with a big smile on his face and tries to lay on me. Little Guy often tries to cuddle or play. I wish I could see things from their point of view and not mine.

Despite our differences, I hope that my brothers will have a bright, sunny, future. 

Super-Otis rushes into the street, and stops short.

Everywhere he sees people going nuts. They are laughing, jumping, rolling, and throwing food and junk. He ducked as a apple core flew over his head, and jumped sideways to avoid a book.

He suddenly sees a note. He picks it up. It says:

It had been another long day for the hero of this story, Super-Otis.

He had battled several villians and they had repented. His day is done. He sits down at his desk in his lair wondering what villian he will fight tomorrow, when suddenly his red phone rings. He grabs it and says:''It's me, Super-Otis. If villians strike, I will make them pay for it.''

''Super-Otis!" shouts a voice. "You've gotta tee-hee tee-hee save us!''

''Mr. President!'' the hero shouts back. "Are you O.K. Mr. President?''

''I ho ho ho am not hee hee hee O.K.!'' screams the President. Do I Ha Ha Ha sound O.K.?

"No!" says Super-Otis. "What is happening to your voice Mr. President? Please tell me what is happening to your voice.''

''It is Har Har Har the work of Ho Ho Ho your tee-hee tee-hee your archenemy, Tiger Boy.''

''Oh No!''

"Oh Yes! Please save us! Before it is...'' Crash! Bang! "Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho! Hee! Hee!" Woosh! Woosh! 

 ''Mr. President! Mr. President!! Mr. President, can you hear me?"

No answer. Except laughter and weird sounds, inclouding crashs and bangs.

In desperation, the hero jogs over to the door of his lair to stop Tiger Boy before it's too late.

TO BE CONTINUED...

My birthday was on Thursday. As usal, presents, cake, etc. I was all ready 10 when I woke up because I was born at 2:00 am.

Wait, did I say 10?

I got a Pirate Hideout, (This was a mistake, but the one that I really wanted might not be sold anymore) 3 rowboats, (The first one I got with the hideout, and the other two were separate. One of them was gotten by mistake) and a raft. (Also a mistake!) I guess present shopping is diffulcult for mothers.

NOT!

  

The cake was strawberry short cake. Only me and Mommy had cake because Butterfly and Big Guy can't have cake, and Daddy dosen't like cake with white icing. It was yummy. Oh, Mommy made lasagna for me too.

And most important, how many times did I say cake?!

Did you know that Christmas and Valentines Day are pagan holidays? If you don't, I'll explain.

My Mommy did some research on this subject. She said that in Jeremiah 10:2-4 that the pagan chops down a tree and puts it in his house.Sound familiar, uh?

Plus, what does Santa Claus, toys, and a flying sled and reindeer have to do with Jesus' birth? Besides, we should be celebrating what God did for us every day.

Now Valentines Day, this holiday used to be a Roman festival called Lupercalia on February 15. It was about love. Cupid (You have probualy seen a picture of Cupid) was the supposed ''god of love'' and it was thought that Cupid had arrows that he shot at people, and made them fall in love.A Pope named Gelasius decided that February 14 would be Saint Valentines Day.(Named after a man named Valentine.Their were really two men named Valentine,but I won't get in to that)For many years on this day Christians remember the saints. But sadly, today, we see candy, pink and red cards, and hearts. I think that God would not want me to celebrate these holidays.We did a little something for Christmas that I will not do when I grow up.   

Me and my sister play with a made up world we named Julys. Here are some of the animals and locations of this enchanting world.



Sammy,(pictured above) is the right hand man for Tim.(At the end here is a picture of Tim) Despite his stern and quick to anger reputation, he settles quarrels well, is kind, and defends his ''people'' against their enemies, the Mountaineers.

Purpley is a girl superhero.Made up by my sister, Butterfly, Purpley has had a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig roll in Julys tales. Her sidekicks are Floppy and Miss Ladybug, and her villian is Clarabel, whoose sidekick is Piglet.(Apologies to Disney and A. A. Milne)



This is Butterfly with Otis and Sally.



This is the Burning Bay. It is a group of islands surrounded by very hot waters. We used to use toy knights for natives, but we don' t anymore.



This is the Julys River. The Julys Dam is the most popular place here.



Tim is the real ruler of Julys. He is calmer and much more mild then Sammy so Sammy often gets more power then he is allowed to have.



(P. S. Floppy, Miss Ladybug, Clarabel, and Piglet do not have pictures posted.) 

There are some digging in for the object activities, and there was one that had dinosaurs in a pretend rock, even though there was tons of evolutionary informaion included, we just ignored it and I went to digging.

 There were a hammer and chisal included. I was almost getting sick of it, when I found the first dino! Oh, did I forget that that there was a mask included?

Looks pretty cool huh?
There were five dinos. When I found all of them, I got to paint them.
Now go to my mom' s blog and look at her way of telling the story.

After it rained on the 2nd soccer wednesday we were ready to get back again. But since Mommy had to bring our new twins (I' m going to call them Ladybug Glow and Ladybug Sparkle.) for a check up, I had to go with Daddy.

When we got there, we foud out that I had forgotten to bring my water bottle. But a girl gave me a spare bottle that she had, so that problem was solved.

The game started. Buy hafttime the score was 3 to 1, Girls.(We were playing girls v.s boys.)

At the very end, when the score was 3 to 2, I tripped a player on the other team by mistake. After the game was over I played with a boy that was playing soccr too. We played kickball. When we both had to leave the score was 2 to 0. And that was my soccer day.   

Now I want to talk about the title of my blog, "In the beginning...  Genesis 1:1".  I watch Ken Ham ministry videos, and he says this, many Christians are adding millions of years to the Bible, and I want to point out two reasons this can't be so.

The first reason is what the word day means in Genesis 1.  See, in the original Hebrew grammar of the Bible, the word for day in Genesis 1 (and the rest of the Bible) is yom, and when yom is used with the words, evening, morning, and number in the Bible it means an ordinary day, and every time it is used in Genesis 1 it is with these words. And because God made everything over 6 days and rested for one, we get our 7 day week.  

The second reason is this, in the late 1700s the idea of millions of years began to become common. Now the idea of evolution didn't come from dating methods, no, it came from the belief that the rock layers were laid down over millions of years. But, as soon as you've got that, you've got pain, killing, thistles,thorns, death, and extinction, before sin.  Do you think that God would say that everything is very good and the world's full of thorns?

Because of our sin of disobeying God we no longer have a right to live with Him again in heaven.  But because Jesus came He solved that problem. But the only way you can enter heaven through Him is saying you're sorry for your sins & start living for Him.

So please read this blog entry straight through, and thank God for His mercy. Thank You!   

 Last  week  I  started  homeschool  soccer.It  was  very  fun!    Even  though  I  don't  know  if  they  allow  score  or  not  , I  think  my  team  won  11 to 4, I  liked  it  so  much  that  I  couldn't  wait  to  go  this  week, but  it  rained , I  was  bummed  out, but  I  had  lots of  fun  with  my  friend  on  Monday...

I  got  to  go  to  my  friend's  house  without  my  Mommy  for  the  first  time. We  jumped  into  a  pile  of  leaves, played  with  toy  lightsavers, and  played  a  toy  hockey  game.

We  are  going  to  start  school  next  week, I  pretty  much  like  school  except  math , for  me  math  is  hard  and  boring. So  that  is  my  news.
