Christ Lutheran VBS

The week after our vbs, we went to a different one. They separated us by which grade we were going into, so I was in 4th grade. Eben was in 5th grade, so I didn't get to see him. There were a lot of volunteers! In each grade there were at least 4 helpers! On my team there were 2 people named Kevin. They were both helpers. I made a friend named Emma who had been ''going to that vbs for many years.'' We had a nice teacher that gave us candy if we said our verse. All of the verses except for the first one were from 1st Corinthians 13, so I knew them already. It was Island themed. They had a lot of decorations! On thursday night there was a performance. We did not go be cause Mama had not heard about it.

VBS

This year at vbs, our church did a theme on the Israelites going to the Promise Land. Mr. Logan was Moses. Mama was the dance leader again, and this year  Eben was one of her dance helpers. Mama had to talk him into it. I was on team Dan. Our cheer went like this: '' Dan, Dan, we are the clan. Our only weapon is a frying pan; we go to battle, we go to war. And everywhere we go we praise the Lord! On this land we trod, we will trust in God!  I was on Ms. Dolores's team. This year at the market place, there was butter. I tried to make it three times. The first 2 times I tried, I had glass containers and they both broke. The third time I tried I had a plastic container with no marble and it still broke. All you had to do to make it was shake it up and down! Also at the market there were animals. On thursday, it was our turn to bring our half-grown chicks. On the 1st day there was a pony and 3 goats. More people liked the chicks than the pony! I guess it was because you could only brush out the pony and goats, and could catch, pet, hold and feed the chicks. There was also a bakery which I went to 2 times. At Moses time, we went through the red sea, ate manna and quail, and heard Moses snore. It was really fun this year.

Day Camp

Last week we went to visit the DeyArmins. We went to day camp at Shilo while we were there. We brought down the Erikson's trailer, and slept in it. At day camp we learned about the bible, and made up motions to go with it. The journey through the Bible went like this: Creation, Fall, Flood, Israel, Law, Judges, Kings, Prophets, Christ, Pentecost, Church, Persecution, Us, Rapture, Tribulation, Eternity. We made a map of that on the last day. It was really fun! Me and Elijah were put on the same team, orange team. At pool time, my goal was to protect the torpedoes for Little Bit, my friend at camp. Her real name is Elizabeth, but everyone calls her Little Bit. On orange team there were only 3 girls, the rest boys. The girls were Eliana, Little Bit and I. Camp started at 9 am. and ended at 4pm. I loved it a lot!

My Food Poem

Food is delicious, food is great. I don't  really like a great big steak. Almost all food is delicious, but not all of it is  nutritious. Most sweets are good, really delicious treats. They don't make you good and strong, just save that for the vegetable song. I like most vegetables salted and cooked. Vegetables are good, I'm really hooked. Broccoli is my favorite, I really like to savor it. I really like, though a nice bowl of peas. Pass them over, if you please! Cupcakes are really also really yummy, they are good to my tummy. Frosting though, is not very good. To you, though, taste good it should. I really like sometimes you see, a nice drink of milk, and a cookie. Pie is good, or so I say. I think you should eat it every day.

Awana Awards night

''Awana awards night is almost here! It is my favorite Awana night of the year! We go on stage and get announced, and sometimes our names get mispronounced.'' On Awards night all the kids in Awana get to go on stage and get the prizes that they earned that year. For instance, if you were in cubbies, your first year, you would get your cubbie hopper book diploma. If you were in you second year of sparks, you would get a blue ribbon and a certificate.

Jasper The Architect

My little brother Jasper loves to build. He usually builds with blocks, and can build a massive temple with them in 3 minutes. Because of little siblings, knees and elbows, every time he builds something, it is destroyed in 3 seconds. So, because of that, he has to rebuild his things 3,4, or 5 times before he can show them to Mama. Sometimes he will build churches,  (Note, all of the pictures are below the labels, please do not be confused.)

sometimes he builds temples,

once he built a ramp with a trap!

This is the death tower, as he calls it.

This is the smasher. 

This is a compass. 

 This is a giant hand watch.

I taught him how to make a train, and he caught on right away! A little while farther in this post and you will see his passenger train. 

 This is his pirate shaped steering wheel.

 This is the un-leaning tower of pisa.

This is the China Temple.

 This, as he calls it, is called Bible story.

This is the triangle.

And of course, this is the sundial on the wall.

Don't forget his nunchucks!

And this is his passenger train.

This is the sun tower. 

The double pig trough is also cool. I had him build some thin with only 8 blocks, instead of using the whole box.

This is a movie of him building something. Don't watch it because it doesent work. 

My Fashion

I have my own fashion.  I  like it, and wear it every day, unless I am wake boarding or skiing. In it I wear lots of skirts. My getting dressed goes something like this: Take off pjs. Put on a tank top.  Put on clean underwear. Put on pants and skirt # 1, the longest. Then skirt # 2, that only lets skirt #1 show an inch. Then skirt # 3, 4 and so on. My record of skirt wearing is 12 skirts at a time. Usually they go higher then my waist, but usually they only go up to my waist. I have 3 drawers over flowing with skirts. I can barely close them! One of my skirts, the longest and my favorite, is all brown and brushes the floor when I walk. When I wear my heelys with that skirt, you can't see my heelys so it looks like I'm a ghost hovering over the floor. Eben calls that my ghost costume.
