Kaija's

Two days ago my mom and I went to Kaija's with some friends. One of moms friend's friend had a question about her bird. If you like the outdoors, reptiles, rodents, fish and birds you would love this store. I do love all those things. Now I know why when mom is in a hurry to get home and she has to pick something up from Kaija's, she never takes me in with her. I could spend hours in Kaija's. A couple of the things I did while at Kaija's...

I got to hold a rat

I got pecked by a chick

I held a cat

I looked at the turtles

I looked at a huge leopard gecko

I got to pet a bunny

I got to pet a geanui pig

And last but not least, I got to pet a duck. It was really funny because when the worker man went to get one of the ducks they all went crazy and started running around in their cage.

My Braces

Yesterday I got my braces. I like the color I picked. They are blue. I have not told anyone I got them, except for my family. My brother was the first to know. I called our home because my papa said to call him when we got out of the orthodontist. Papa was not there; he was over at the church building playing pool with Lucas. So my brother Justin pick up the phone and I told him all about it thinking that I was talking to my papa. Then I said, "Who is this"? He said, "Justin". After I hung up with him I called my papa's cell phone. Of course he did not have it and Justin picked it up again. Then I hung up with him again. After my appointment me and my mom walked over to where our friends were. Later on in the day Papa called and I told him all about my new braces. My mouth is very sore today. The best thing about getting braces is that I got string cheese and yogurt which are never in our house. And all the kids were asking me for little bites. I told most of them no. But Katie was too cute so I had to give her a bite.

A Small Zoo in our Back Yard

Two nights ago Justin and I went to the kitchen. I do not really know why. I think we were making sure that the doors were locked. Anyways there were three possums in our yard. One was by my papa's porch, one was under our church steps and one was at the end of our picnic table, which is on our porch. We had a small zoo in our backyard. They are not easy to spook. You can knock on the door and they do not run away. Katie, Lucas, Matthew, Justin and I were looking at them through the window. They have weird tails. It only lasted for about five minutes.

Another Walk with My Friend

Miss Linda and I went on another walk to Silvercreek. My dad said there was a pretty black duck down there. So we went to the creek to see the duck. But it had flown away before we got there. While we were there we walked on the rocks, found a four leaf clover and sang "This Little Light Of Mine" under the bridge. It echoed really loud. On the way home we saw a wounded bird. We went home really quick and ask my mom if we could go back and catch it and try to nurse it back to health. She said it was ok if we did. So we went back to try to catch it. I chased it all around a yard. I scared it enough that it flew away. It was a very good walk.

About my Mom

My mom is the best mom that any one could ever have. According to this picture she is crazy, sweet, loving, kind, understanding, beautiful...very, very beautiful. She is also a really good cook . A couple of the things she cooks are hash browns, potato soup, biscuits and gravy and meatloaf. She made a really good pan of meatloaf about three weeks ago. She says that she does it with love. I think she does do it with love because if it wasn't done with love, it would not taste that good. Every thing she makes tastes awesome.

Mom, I love you so much.

Not Knowing

Today I stuck a sticker on my mom's back. She still does not know. She looks pretty funny. I don't think she will find out until she reads my blog or when she takes a shower. I love my mom. She is loving, caring, helpful, and she is a teacher too. There are a lot of other things that she is but I am not going to list them all right now.

A Day with my Friend

Two days ago was my best friend's birthday. Her name is Miss Linda. We went on a walk down Morris Road, Miller Road, Gharet Road, and Silverbrook Road. We picked flowers, threw rocks in the creek, caught sleet with our tongues and collected rocks from the creek. It was a pretty good day. I enjoyed myself and she did too. She said that it was the best birthday that she has ever had. I believe her. She said she would write about it in her journal. I gave her a plant called Hens and Chicks with a pretty card. I gave her one a long time ago, but when she had eye surgery, she forgot to water it and it died. So she was happy when I gave it to her. She is the best friend that anyone could ever have.
