Caterpiller gone missing

In the beginning of this week we found three caterpillar's. Two were black and orange and the other on was yellow, white, and black. The black and orange ones had their own jar and the yellow, white , and black one had his own jar. This morning we got up and the yellow, white, and black caterpillar was not in his jar he had disappeared! we looked all over the counter, floor, and all over, he was nowhere to be found.

Ear and a Half

Ear and a Half is a rabbit. He is brown with long hair, yes long hair. Dawn is Ear and a Half's mom. We only have one other long haired rabbit, Brenna, who is also Dawn's baby. This is my brother with Ear and a Half I don't know why he isn't smiling.

Rain

It's raining!!!!! Why am I so happy? Because today at the YMCA we are playing soccer. I don't like soccer, I'm terrible at it and the ball usually ends up hitting me some where on my body. It was going to rain here Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. It did not rain yesterday so I'm extra happy and now hope it does not rain tomorrow because we are going to Fort Snelling.

Bangs

I have hated bangs for a long, long time, on Friday night I decided to have my hair cut so I could have bangs. I have not bangs since I was about seven, I hated bangs. This is me with bangs.

Football fish fun!

My brother plays flag football on Saturdays. He read about paper footballs in the comic Fox Trot and and looked up how to make them. We made lots of these on Saturday. I got the idea to make a paper football fish after looking at the footballs. Here are the directions I use:

1. Get a sheat of paper and fold and cut it in half lengthwise.



2. Fold the paper you just cut in half and start folding to the left in little triangles six times.



3. Fold the part that is left into an arrowhead shape and slip it in the pocket of the triangle. Make three footballs.


4. Draw an eye on both sides of one triangle

5. Draw scales on two of the triangles with a nice color.

6. Use black, and the color you used for scales, to draw lines on the leftover triangle on both sides for the tail.



7. Tape the triangle with eyes to the other one with scales.




8. Tape the tail point to point with the body.




9. Do the same thing for two fins but smaller, tape one on each side.

10. There is your fish.

Puppet hats and masks

On are way to the State fair we were waiting to get in line to park when the people in the car in front of us kept sticking something out the window. We finally figured out that it was a hat. When we started to take a picture they stuck their head out for us to get a good picture.

This is the first one we saw.

Chickens gone catty

Chickens will eat almost anything, and I mean any thing. They will even eat cat food. The chickens are usually in their coop outside in the summer but it has been so wet we let them out so they were not on the mud. Almost every day they come up to the porch to eat and see if there is any cat food. In this picture is Paige, Owlly, Non-speckly, and Whooten.

Bowza the Betta

The other day at Wal-mart we got a Betta fish, bowl, rocks, and food. His bowl has a stand to put the bowl on and a light that turns on and off. He has a few different names. I call him Bowza, Mom calls him Gamma, and my brother calls him Luigi. He only eats one to two pieces of food a day. We picked Bowza because he was the prettiest Betta fish at Wal-mart. Here is his picture.

Crabs & cross rocks

This is a graffiti crab that was on a wall by a dam that we went to go find cross rocks or fairy rocks. you have to look closely at all the rocks you pick up because they small. Here are some of the ones we found.

Take my picture!

When we were at the state fair we went to see the biggest pig his name is Reggie and he is 5 1/2 years old and wights 1450. The sheep are in the same barn as the pigs. We were taking pictures of a sheep when the other sheep in the pen got jealous and stuck his head out so we could take a picture of him. This is the picture of the jealous sheep.

Bubble blowing

Today I was washing some dishes and started to blow bubbles. I was blowing bubbles when my brother came over and started trying to blow some also. And then Mom came over to take pictures and that is how this post came to be.

To blow bubbles

1. Make an O with your hand

2. Dip your hand in soapy water

3. Blow GENTLY

4. There is your bubble

Nikki!

This is Nikki because she is so cute!

She has a lot of nicknames that we call her. Some of them are Nick, Nicks, Nicksie, Nicker, Doodly, Kitten, Putesy, Doddles, Nikkin, Tootsy, Poopsy, Piddles, Piddlepopper (when she has an accident in the house), Dog, Noodle, Noodly or almost anything that end in the "E" sound. Sometimes my family calls her Tubby, but I hate that name for her.

Nikki likes to sleep with us at night under the covers and lay on a body pillow. My mom doesn't really like to sleep with her because Nikki wants to lay on my mom, not just by her. I tell my mom it is because she loves her but my mom says that aren't that good of friends that they would lay on each other to sleep. Nikki begs to differ.

Nikki also loves treats. She has an incredible nose. When we eat something she wants to come up and smell our mouth to see what it was we ate. She also has incredible ears. If she is sleeping and we put a little snack in her bowl, her ears fly up, her head follows and she runs to her bowl even if we have put it in ever so quietly. We put it in quietly just to test if she hears it or not.

Tree frog on my window

When it was warmer this summer, we had a lot of rain and bugs, there
was a tree frog that would sit at the top of our slider door. It came each night for a week or so and we could see it getting bigger. He was an bright, emerald green color and as long as my pinkie finger. He was always in highest corner of the sliding door, so you had to stand on a chair to take a picture. This is really cool because I really, really like frogs. I've caught toads in our yard but not frogs so this was really cool. This is the belly of the frog.



This is the back of the frog.
