American History: How Benjamin Franklin Came to Philadelphia...

Posted in Daily bread

To those who enjoy reading my narrations, I apologize. I was writing today's narration, and I had finished writing it out, but out of habit I clicked close, when I had not saved my progress. And as I really don't feel like writing all that all over again, I will not continue.

Our New Wrist-Mounted Walkie-Talkies...

Posted in Daily bread

Recently we ordered two wristwatch style walkie-talkies from Vision Forum, and the wrist bands literally came apart. At first, it was just the tiny pin that attached the watch to the wristband, but then, the little buckle completely ripped through the rubber wristband. Now neither of the watches are usable, and the batteries are probably dead. If they ever come out with a better material for wristbands, I will buy that. But until then, I will simply keep my eyes open.

My Math...

Posted in Daily bread

For the past week, I have been trying desperately to learn how to divide three digit numbers by two digit numbers. Mom says that I have to learn to do it without help from the MUS blocks, but I keep saying that is impossible. "Once you get it down, it'll be easy." she says, but I just can't believe that.

My New Book

Posted in Daily bread

I am writing a new book, called Back to Earth. In it, a young man called Peter Stevenson invents a futuristic space-ship and heads off into space. Little does he know that he is plunging headlong into the craziest trip of his life. Sounds interesting eh? That's not all, but I don't want to be a story spoiler.

Sorry, I forgot

Posted in Daily bread

I have had a lot of goings on in the last few days and even before then I was forgetting about my blog. I will try to write more in the future.

My Apologies,

My er... little kitten...

Posted in Daily bread

Remember My post "My kitten and I..."? Well, she's not a kitten anymore! She's a full-grown cat.  She is much better at getting the "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" point across. She has her "just-leave-me-alone" moments, her "just-hangin'-out" moments, and her "I'm-happy-so-I'm-going-to-purr-my-little-head-off" moments . I still think she is as cute as ever and I love her dearly.

Today's Narration

Posted in Daily bread

Pilgrim's Progress

Evangelist reproves Christian for following the counsel of Worldly Wiseman and trying to go to Mr. Legality to "be eased of his burden". And Christian turned back onto the path that Evangelist appointed for him to go to The Wicket-Gate with the lamp hanging on the top.

Timez Attack

Posted in Daily bread

Mom found this game called Timez Attack.  I've played it and it's very neat.  It teaches times tables through an adventure-type form.  You are a little green guy that walks around and comes to all types of doors.  When you walk up to one, a math problem appears on it and the door shoots out little balls.  These balls turn into snails and every time you collect them, they give you the answer to the problem.  Once you collect them all, you throw them back at the door giving you the answer again.  You then type the answer to the problem, which opens the door and an ogre comes out.  He asks you math problems you have already covered in the program.  You are timed for the answer and when you get one wrong or miss the time limit, he shoots you with goo, which will knock you down.

It is a fun game because it is an adventure towards learning your multiplication table.

I hope you will enjoy the game as much as I have.

Just yesterday we rented 4 movies from Movie Gallery and only got to watch 1 last night.  The one we watched was the old "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" that I had only seen bits-and-pieces of.  Hopefuly we can watch the new one, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Then, we'll watch "The Polar Express" and then finally we'll watch "Madagascar".

The Two Birthday Surprises I Got Were...

Posted in Daily bread

...Very awsome.  The one I explained to everybody a few posts ago turned out to be in Tallahassee.  It was a Sugarland and Brad Paisley concert!  What a wonderful father I have!  And the second was about three days after my birthday when my dad had come back from a business meeting,  and it was, of all things for a very clumsy child, an Armitron watch!It is much more complicated than my old watch and after 3 days of having it I still can't figure out this crazy thing.  It is very frusterating.   I am very grateful for it, and espesially proud of the great parents that I have.

Here Comes My Birthday! Watch Out!

Posted in Daily bread

And my dear dad has got a special b-day suprise in store for me.  So all I know is that we are going somewhere neat and probably have never been to before.  Aren't parents wonderful?  SO many suprises and even more presents each year! As Dash from The Incredibles would say," I love our family"

My Kitten and I...

Posted in Daily bread

We like to play.  We've been good friends ever since I stumbled upon her as I was riding my bike.  She's sort of my girl.  She's got this teeny-weeny little meow that you would expect from a newborn kitten.  We have all come to love her over time but it's unfortunate for mom and dad because with our landlord and all we are not even suposed to have the 2 cats we do have.  As I say, we didn't find her, she found and adopted us.  Mom and dad have come to love her more as we will be moving north to West Verginia, so once we do it will not matter. I'm so happy that we can keep her.  YAY!!

My phone got messed up! AAAAARRRRGGGGGG!!!!!

Posted in Daily bread

My mom just got a new phone for herself and let me have her old Motorola, but the lady up at the counter said that we would have to take the battery out or mine would interfere with her phone's ability to send and recieve calls.  And sure enough, when we got home I went into my room to play a quick game of Tetris on it, and I was about halfway through with my game when dad accidently called mom and both our phones rang!  Now how about that!  She wasen't kidding when she said that!  I just earlier play my very last game of  Tetris about 7:00 am.  And we just took the battery out.                                                                                     


So much for that idea!

Family Game Time

Posted in Daily bread

My family and I like doing things like playing Scrabble and Monopoly and House Rules and BattleShip and Fun-in-a-Box.  This often ocurs in rare family game times.  It is mostly because my Dad works a lot at Sherwin-Williams.  When we get together for this we always play a long-lasting game like Scrabble or Monopoly, and I always try, but rarely succeed, to propose a toast.  Because my dad works late most of the time, and we don't like doing things like that without him, we wait until he is available to play, which is usually around nine to eleven (if not twelve am) pm.
