having fun!

I don't like winter very much, but I am loving this winter!

We don't have any snow now, but i think we are going to get some soon.
When we get LOTS of snow i like to take out the sleds and push my self around the yard.
I have not gone sledding yet but the boys have, any way i don't like sledding.
I have found other things I like such as snow ball fighting, and making snow angels.

My favorite Christmas song is O Come O Come Emmanuel it goes like this:
o come o come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here until the son of God appear rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, o Israel.

here are some pictures of our snowball fight:

A poem

DOGS

Dogs, they like frogs.

But frogs, they just don't like dogs.

Dogs happen to like to eat meat.

Bones are better than stones to dogs.

Dogs say "ruff" while we say "tough".

Dogs they have four feet while we have sore feet.

Some dogs growl.

Others howl.

That's all I know about dogs.

I know even less about frogs.

Eight!

My birthday was August 26th, so now I am eight. Yay!

I loved all my presents. It was a fun day. We have been so busy that we still didn't make a birthday cake yet. Some of my presents were late, so I got them a few days after my birthday. I got a set of Anne of Green gables books. Jay has read all of them because he's a faster reader. I'm reading the first one and like it so far. My favorite thing is my pink pocketknife. I have wanted one for years, but mommy said I had to wait until I was eight.
Parker colored this elephant for me and then used his favorite woody stickers to decorate it.


I love my little brothers.


a pocketknife!!!! (I was a little excited)


Aaron made this special snowflake for me.

Bird Stuff

We are in a bird club. It's Delaware Dunlins. We have trips every month. We don't always get to go though. We went last Saturday. It was a lot of fun. I got to hold a duck. He's a mallard and his name is Buddy. He likes crickets, but didn't want the corn.




(thanks to our friend Kim for the picture)

It Snowed

It snowed. It snowed.
It snowed in the morning.

It snowed. It snowed.
It snowed in the afternoon.

It snowed. It snowed.
It snowed in the night.

It snowed today.
and
yesterday.
It snowed everyday.
