Halloween

Happy Halloween! I had a fun night. It was cold though. We had friends over for pizza then went out trick or treating for a little bit. They came back over so it was fun. My brother was a knight and I was Harry Potter. I lost my scarf but it was too cold and dark to go back to look for it. 

2 pumpkins

Now we have both pumpkins carved. A spooky face and a pirate ship! I can't wait until tomorrow. Halloween!  The pumpkins look cool. 

Blogger and Twitter

I am pretty new to blogger and Twitter. I like blogging and tweeting more than writing. I also like to be able to see other people's blogs and tweets. I sometimes have trouble with my posts. I have been putting pictures with my posts but it looks like I am putting them on but when you go back to it it is not there. It only shows an empty box. Any ideas?

Pumpkin

We carved our pumpkin. It has a scary face. We used a template and carved with small carving tools. It's a big pumpkin so it was harder to carve. We still have another pumpkin to carve but didn't have a chance to do it yet. I like how it looks with a candle in it at night. We have a lot of deer and other animals on our street. I hope they don't destroy it like they have before. My brother and I carve our pumpkins every year with my dad. My mom always takes a picture. Here is a picture. 

Karate

I went to Karate tonight. I go to Franklin Athletic Club for my class. It is called Plowden Karate. I have a gold belt with a black stripe now. This is a higher level than the gold belt. I go with my brother and my neighbors. I like it. 

My weekend

Last night I watched the Croods. It was about cavemen. It was a silly movie but funny. I liked it. It was fun watching it with my brother and Corrina while my parents were out. Today I'm going to run errands with my mom and play outside with my brother. My dad is putting up Gutter guards with my uncle Bob.  He is high on a ladder. I hope they don't fall. We are going to carve our pumpkins today. I have to decide on a good design. I am also going to read some more of The klipfish code. It is a good serious book that is historical. Kris M.

Saturday

I went to my cousins party today. I had so much fun. Now, movie night: THe Croods with a babysitter. I hope it's a good movie. 

Walk

I walked for Fitz on Wednesday.  There was a lot of people. I'm happy so many people wanted to support her. I really like doing this kind of thing

Covington

Covington is the best school in the world because of the teachers and because of enge- technology. 

Fun weekend

I had fun this weekend. On Saturday I went to Long's Cider Mill. We went through a corn maze, hay ride, did a dirt mount stunt, apple shooting targets and had cider with doughnuts. I hit the target every time with the apple shooting launcher. We went with my friends William and Trevor and our families.  On Sunday, I got my Halloween costume and then my cousins Reyna and Jeyda came over and we celebrated Reyna's birthday and we played. 

Boating and fishing trip # 2 small moment published piece

      I first asked my mom to go on a fishing trip this summer. She said that would be fun and maybe we can go on grandpa's boat too. We planned to go to Metro Beach and fish. We met my grandparents, my cousins and my aunts and uncles that weekend. We fished off of the pier but didn't catch anything.

     Then we went on a boat ride. It was fun. I even got to drive the boat with my uncle helping.  I'm glad we had our life vests on because we were pulled over by the police and they checked. I was even scared a little. The police patrol the lake to make sure everyone is safe. 

      I will tell what else happened next.  My cousin punched it!  She is only 7 years old. It was ok because my uncle was sitting with her and took control of the boat. We all laughed so hard. My mom was scared and told my uncle to help control the boat better. My uncle always lets us all have a few turns driving it. 

      We went back to the picnicking area and ate KFC and spinach pies, potato salad and cookies.  Sometimes we have a big picnic there with a lot of food and we stay there all day. We ended it by playing catch. It was a fun day! 

     We go to Metro every year. This is one of the many reasons I love summer. I like doing summer things and being with my cousins. I have my own fishing rod and box that I use. This is something my grandpa and I both enjoy. My dad's not much of a fisherman so I'm glad that my uncle's and my grandpa are. 

     My grandpa used to have a red star Craft it was from the 50's. It was wood and looked like a 57 Chevrolet because it had fins. He bought it in 1970.  Then he sold it and bought a blue 15 ft boat in 1978. Believe it or not, he still has this boat. He keeps it in my uncle's garage. The boat is now 44 years old and we still use it. He had to do a lot of maintenance on it through the years and had the seats redone. 

     My mom, aunt and uncle used to go on it a lot when they were young so she thinks it's pretty cool when their kids go on it and have just as much fun as they did. My mom always liked to sit in the open area and liked it when it went fast. That's how I like it too!  Being with family is fun!

     

Lunar eclipse

I went outside to look at the moon yesterday at 6:30 am.  Did you?  The sky was beautiful filled with stars.  I went out there to look at the lunar eclipse.  It was so cool!  It was orange in color and was called a "blood moon" because it was orange.

This is my favorite picture of it!  Kris M.
