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.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. 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.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
