Lake Harriet

Today we went for a walk with Fauna on Lake Harriet. There is this tree at Lake Harriet that has a little door on it. That's because a little tiny elf, about five inches tall lives in there. Lot's of kids write to him. He writes back with tiny little letters.
Then we walked a little car decorated with plates, and I think that it is awesome, but I wonder how he stuck all of those on.

Irish Dance Feis

Yesterday I went to a Feis. I danced five dances. The reel, jig, slip jig, hornpipe, and treble jig. I got fourth place on the reel, third on the jig, and third on the slip jig.
Then we went over to a table where there were two people selling little pins. Mom ordered one for me when I had finished all of my dances we came back and It was done. They had pins with all of the different school dresses from the dance schools represented at the Feis. But in the corda mor (my dance school) there were two light-skinned ones. So he changed it to a dark-skinned one.
Then I went to the party! I bet there were 50 people. There was lots of wonderful food and one big cake. The cake said corda mor and had a big fat design on it. Then me and my friends did a big show.

The finished hat

This is me with my new hat. It turned out a little strechy.

Frodo

I have a very cute puppy (he's actually full grown) named Frodo. He's about half a foot tall, and loves to give kisses he especialy likes to kiss my feet.

my hat

Now I am knitting a hat that is blue. The yarn that I am using is very fluffyish and cool. I'm not very far on my hat, I still have like seven inches to go.

the fat toad

Here is a funny picture of me in Palmyra New York. We were in a forest on a rainy day and I found a fat toad. (It was last year).

The Lost Planet Pie

I wrote this story a few months ago. I think it's my favorite story that I've written.

Prologue
Planet Pie has eight lands called: Spameataland, Strawberland, Chocoland, Dariland, Fruland, Veggieland, Breadland, and the Capital. Each land is shaped like a piece of pie.
The people that used to live on Planet Pie were looking for new technology, plants, and medicine on different planets. They found the planets Kewakastan and Rewarastan. While they were looking for new technology Planet Pie vanished, until. . .


It all started out with a curious girl named Lauren. She lived on planet Kewakastan.
One day when she was about twelve she was burying her feet in the sand, and they touched something hard. She dug some more. Then she found part of it.

Lauren took a long time to get it out because it was huge. In fact, it was so big that . . . it was a spaceship!
It was a small spaceship for a girl just her size. It was blue and red with white stripes.
There was a note inside and it said: Planet Pie, but the rest was torn off. What is planet pie? She thought. Next thing she knew she was climbing into the spaceship.
She looked at all of the levers, switches, and buttons. She found a switch that said “on/off.” She switched it to on.
Lauren took off! She looked at all of the buttons; she found one that said “speed of light.” Now that seemed like fun. So she pressed it!
That spaceship went extremely fast! So Lauren pushed a button that said “slow.”
Then Lauren went back. She took the handles and turned back. Then she pressed a button that said “fast.”

Finally, Lauren found the very small Planet Pie. It was very bare with only a few mountains, rivers, and ponds.

She went back to her spaceship, started it up and went back to Planet Kewakastan. She told the new reporers about it. Then they came and told the people in Rewarastan. Almost half the population came to Planet Pie. They came because they like their old way of life better. From then on they lived on Planet Pie, until. . .

My favorite book

Now I am reading a book called A Wrinkle in Time. It is my favorite book I have ever read. It's my favorite book because I think every single page is at least a little bit exciting. I other books there is an exciting and then a really boring part. I'm reading it for school.

home school

I'm home schooled. I think it's a lot funner than public school because you get the whole afternoon off. My favorite subject is history. I like art but 4th grade art is boring, math and language arts are just plain boring, and spelling is OK.
