I am 10 years old and this is my blog. I live on a farm and love Jesus. I have 2 sisters, 1 brother, and lots of animals. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:07:00 -0500 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:07:00 -0500 Two days ago my Mom gave birth to a boy.  His name is Joshua. He has red hair.  He is the cutest thing.  I'm happy he has red hair because I have red hair.  I will add a picture later! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/708627/ Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:07:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/708627/ A while ago, my mom kept hearing clangs on the cat bowl outside and seeing a possum running away.  So I decided to trap it with my live-trap.  My bait was cat food.  In the morning, my mom woke me up and said there was a possum in the trap.  It turned out that the possum had nine babies in her pouch.  I think I broke some sort of record, catching ten in one night! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/704538/ Thu, 2 Jul 2009 16:11:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/704538/ Two days ago we found mites in our basement.  We found out they were grain mites.  My mom tried vacuuming them up but it was not working.  So we had to spread DE in our basement .  We covered the entire basement and everything in it with DE.  It was very fun and tiring.  We had a water fight afterward.  We still need to vacuum the basement. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/700055/ Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:11:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/700055/ My dad bought a new chainsaw and a couple days ago, we went out to the pasture and started cutting up some fallen trees.  The first time, we had to walk through some muck to get to the trees.  We ran out of gas so we loaded up everything we had cut up, put it in the truck, and drove back.  The second time, we brought gas and oil, but we tried to drive through the muck and got stuck.  We started cutting up the rest of the trees while Dad called our friends to pull us out.  When our friends came, my dad drove our truck, 4 of us pushed, and 1 drove the other truck.  The front tire was a foot and a half deep in mud.  We came home muddy! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/669503/ Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:43:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/669503/ I'm sorry I haven't written on my blog for a long time.  A lot has happened since I wrote last time.  We've been in two accidents in the last two weeks.  In both accidents, we were near a house and we went into ditches.  No one was hurt. We only have 2 cats now, Johnny Cash and Chief Wahoo.  We got them both fixed. I had a hard time getting people's presents done for Christmas.  I need to plan better next year. We finally got our two does (goats) to a buck for breeding.  He belongs to our friends.  That's everything exciting. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/637674/ Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:45:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/637674/ On Monday, I was playing a game and Meagan was upstairs on the computer when Mom called us to go outside.  When we got outside, Mom told us we were going to get our picture taken with Abby.  Abby was wearing a shirt that said "Big Sis". We didn't realize it yet, though.   Mom took a couple of pictures and then we realized that Mom was pregnant.  She is due June 20th.  I hope it is a boy. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/606166/ Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:28:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/606166/ Yesterday morning, we were butchering chickens.  I was cutting the neckskin of the chicken.  I was holding the chicken with my left hand and holding the knife with my right.  I was having a real hard time cutting the skin and it cut through the skin and I got an inch-long cut [on my left index finger knuckle].  I went inside, pouring blood, and my Mom couldn't tell how deep it was, so we went to the hospital. We went in [to the hospital] and they put me on a bed and started checking my wound out.  They gave me shots all around my wound and boy did that burn!  They cleaned out the wound and gave me four stitches. When I came into the house when I first got my wound, Mom thought I cut my whole finger off. Later in the day, we had a picnic and I told some of the people that a big coyote attacked me and bit all over my hand.  But they didn't believe me. At least that chicken won't be giving me another wound soon! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/579503/ Sun, 24 Aug 2008 11:10:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/579503/ Yesterday afternoon, we went to a friend's house and went butterfly catching.  We caught a lot of black butterflies and a couple of purple ones.  We tried and tried to catch the white ones, but we never could.  We called them "White Beauties".  Better luck next time. While we were catching butterflies, Meagan started crying.  We went over to her and asked what happened and she said that she got stung by a bee.  I went to the house and told mom.  Meagan had already scraped off the stinger and was fine.  She's not allergic to bee stings. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/560825/ Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:07:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/560825/ Yesterday evening, we were going out to do the chores and we were walking by, and on the cattle panels, was a bird.  It was only about a foot away from me.  So, I asked my dad if I could pet it and I reached out and pet it.  After I pet it, it flew away.  I came in and told my mom and she could hardly believe it.  She said that it is funny that I can pet a wild bird but that our chickens won't always let us pet them. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/543359/ Thu, 5 Jun 2008 10:27:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/543359/ My name is Caleb ********** and I live in ********* County.  I’m in 3rd grade and I homeschool.  Legislative Bill 1141 is being talked about in the Senate.  This bill would get rid of our freedom.  My senator is Lavon Heidemann and I’m glad for that because he does no like the bill either.  I like to homeschool.  I like learning about World War 2.  My great-grandpa fought in that war for freedom.  This bill hopefully will not become a law. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/507420/ Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:49:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/farmboy/507420/
