Alex's Story "Volcano Blows"

Alex brought the following story home from school the other day. The assignment was to write a story about, "Things with holes." It was the most random, creative story that I have ever read. The ending made me giggle for hours. So I decided to share it with my blog friends who I'm sure will enjoy it...ok, ok, maybe not as much as I did but it should make you at least smile.

Volcano Blows

One time I found a big volcano. Then I climbed it. It seemed the hole was bigger then the volcano. If I didn't get out of there I would have been toast. And them BOOM it blowed. My Mom came and picked me up in the car. But she must be blind because she didn't see the lava. I tried to tell her but she said lets go get donuts. My donut's hole was small. I couldn't see it. The next day I went back to the volcano. I climbed it again there was only a little lava left. I got a button out of my pocket I put a long string threw the hole and stock it down the volcano hole and touched the lava with the button then pulled it up it was burnt in to crisp. WOW I said and went home.

THE END

Her Illustration

I laughed at the sweat and frown on her face as she climbed the volcano.

Much of the charm of her story came from her "creative" spelling.

Thank you for enduring my proud mama moment. It is so nice to have friends in the blog world who let you brag. Even about silly stories.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on. One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out. It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby. Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement. A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby. It is that important! I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR. You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go. Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house. He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion. He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.
