• Dec. 18, 2007 - This is the First Clue!

Posted in Writings by sbw

There might be a few clues on this picture:

 

 

 

S.W.O.I.U.

(SIX WINGED OBJECTS IDENTITY UNKNOWN)

 

THEY CAME AND CIRCLED PLUTO

AS WE WATCHED IN AWE.

THEN WE USED TELESCOPE...

COULD IT BE A NOPE?

BUT THIS IS ALL THEY SAW.

• Dec. 12, 2007 - The Secret Blog

Posted in Writings by sbw

     I remember when the Ward's Sward blog started blogging, there were only around 100 bloggers.  After my mom started blogging, I decided to blog about 2 months later.  But now, I have my own blogsite somewhere on HSB.  Can you find where I am? 

 

     It might be kind of tricky since there are 15,871 (or around there) right now.

 

     I might give out a few clues every once in awhile.  Stay tuned!

 

     P.S.  You have to comment.  I want lots of comments.  Pleeeease???

Posted in Writings by sbw

DO YOU SEE THIS SPECK?  .

 

IT COULD BE AN ASTROID!

 

AHA YESSSSSS I'LL BUY A NEW HOUSE.

 

NOOO I'LL BUY MY OWN PLANET!  AND A FLYING CAR THAT WILL TURN INTO A SPACESHIP.

 

HMMMM OH AND A MANSION OF GOLD WITH GEMS EMBEDDED IN IT AND MY OWN STAR AND FLYING CITIES.

 

NOW BACK TO THE CAR.  IT WILL HAVE A JETPACK IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG... AND ZERO GRAVITY SHOES... AND I WILL HAVE A PET DINOSAUR AND A ROBOT THAT DOES ALL THE WORK AND WINDOWS THAT CAN BE A T.V. SCREEN (THEY REALLY HAVE THAT KIND OF STUFF) AND I WANT...

• Jul. 28, 2006 - A Smiley Story

Posted in Writings by sbw

I'm blogging this because I haven't used the little smiley guys in a long time.

 

 This guy has quite the story to tell!

 

 This guy doesn't want to hear the story.

 

   And this guy is having his morning meal.

 

And this guy is throwing a tantrum because he doesn't get to hear the story.

 

  And this guy is confused on the story.

• Mar. 27, 2006 - Magnets

Posted in Writings by sbw

Hello. 

 

My mom put a chalkboard up on the wall that says “Home Sweet Homeschool”, but that’s not the subject for today. 

 

The ceiling is dripping, but that’s not the subject for today.

 

The subject for today is about these little things called magnets.  Don’t think about what they look like or you might be disappointed.  There are metallic ones, the primary ones, the translucent ones, and the glow-in-the-dark ones. 

 

Now for the special parts.  (This is kind of like an advertisement.)  There are primary curves, translucent curves, connectors (which are circles), flashing lights, and flexors.

 

Now for the extreme ones.  There are two kinds of triangles and one kind of square.

 

Then there are the extreme combos, which are made up of a lot of different kinds of the magnets.

• Jan. 23, 2006 - The Bird in the Jar

Posted in Writings by sbw

Our oldest son wrote this poem.  He also drew a cute picture to go with it, but since we don't have a scanner, you'll just have to use your imagination.  :-)

 

OH MY

THE BIRD IN THE JAR

HE WEARS A TIE

AND HE SCRUBS A CAR

AND DELIVERS TUBS

AND GRUBS AND NEVER GOES BACK

BUT ALWAYS GOES FORWARD

HOW FANCY THE BIRD

IN THE JAR.

• Dec. 31, 2005 - The Mazes

Posted in Writings by sbw

Here are three mazes that I made.  I will show you the 2nd and 3rd ones right now.

They are simple mazes.

Find the X.

 

 

The first one will scare you.    It is below.  It is a curly maze.

 

 

I like to make mazes.

• Oct. 31, 2005 - The ANTHILL

Posted in Writings by sbw

After burning some of our leaves, I saw an anthill in the driveway. So I went over and poured water around it. NOW, what is the ant hill? Each person only gets 3 chances to guess.
