Random Ramblings

I felt like I wanted to make a blog post, but not about anything specific. So here you go!

It's SNOWING!!!!!!!!



I really do love socks :D




I finished my book last night! It is called "Fairest", by Gail Carson Levine, and it is really good! It is kinda of retelling of snow white. Here is a quote from it: "If you love a thing, one more is always welcome"




Oh! A few weeks ago, I entered a photo in the Reflections program at school. On Thursday, they called me down to the office and told me that MY photo was going on to the District! And they gave me $25! They are going to display it in January. Then, yesterday, they announced all of the entrees and winners over the intercom :D



It's November now. Wall-e's birthday is today. :D



There is 14 days until Amber's birthday!!

Princess Buttercup is going to preschool now! I'm pretty sure she loves it :D



I have a new found love for yogurt! Which is odd, because when I could eat/drink things with milk without having tummy cramps, I hated yogurt. But now, since my tummy is sensitive to sugar and milk, I love it! But only two flavors-vanilla and lemon. And they don't hurt my tummy too bad! :D




Well, that's enough for now. :D

The Itsy Bitsy Spider





RJ: "Manna! I caught a spider!"
Me: "You did? Let me see!"
(I find a spider inside a bowl that he found in the cupboard)
Me: "Oh, you did! Let's flush it down the toilet."
RJ: "Ok! The mitsy bitsy spider..."
(we take the bowl to the bathroom and dump it in the toilet)
Me: "Bye bye spider!"
RJ: "Bye!"

Later I hear RJ singing....

RJ: "The mitsy bitsy spider, going down the toi-let. Bye bye spider! Hahahahahaha!"

The Peanuts Gang

The Peanuts Gang
to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"


Lucy, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty,
Sally, Rerun, Linus too.
Marcie, Woodstock, Franklin, Pigpen,
Snoopy-that’s the Peanuts Crew.
You’re a good man, Charlie Brown,
And all your friends gather ‘round.



Lucy is the crabby sort,
She is awful at all sports.
Her psychiatrist booth costs you,
Pay her 5 cents-that’s what’s due.
“You’re a blockhead!”-so she says,
but change doctors and you’re dead.



Schroeder is musically inclined,
he plays Beethoven all the time.
Lucy loves him-he doesn’t know,
if she bugs him, “KLUNK!” she will go.
Schroeder loves to play the piano,
especially Beethoven’s 5th concerto.



Peppermint Patty loves all sports,
though her manners are the worst.
She loves Chuck, Marcie does too,
They both share him, wouldn’t you?
Punt the football, kick it hard,
When you’re done, you might be scarred.



Sally Brown is naive, but cute,
she asks Santa for the loot.
She wants the money, so you see,
sign the letter, “with love, me”.
Bring it wrapped in polka-dots,
and make sure it’s lots and lots.



Rerun is the less known one,
He and Snoopy have lots of fun.
They play cards and basketball,
Rerun always wears overalls.
Van Pelt is this boys’ last name
He is in Lucy and Linus’ domain.



Linus is Charlie Brown’s best friend,
They talk upon the wall to no end.
Linus is so very smart,
He loves blankets, thumbs and art.
Lucy scorns him, he doesn’t care;
He and his blanket are quite a pair.




Marcie is so smart and shy,
Sports like football make her cry.
She calls Peppermint Patty “sir”,
Willingly shares Charles with her.
Marcie always finishes her work,
She is nice but has strange quirks.



Woodstock only speaks in lines,
But he likes to sing sometimes.
He and Snoopy are best friends,
They sing and dance around the bend.
They laugh, and play, and they help out,
That’s what friends are all about!



Franklin is the only colored one,
He and the gang have lots of fun.
Franklin does very well at sports
He loves soccer, football and more!
Baseball, basketball-he loves those too.
He is kind and will teach you.



Pigpen is all covered in dirt,
He takes mud baths-they don't work.
Civilizations' dust lies on him,
He looks like a dust cloud rolling in.
When he's clean, no one will know,
Just who is that boy on the go.



Snoopy is a happy dog,
He loves dancing and singing along.
He is always very hungry,
His stomach is super grumbly.
"Curse you, Red Baron!" is what he shouts,
He always sleeps atop his dog house.



Charlie Brown can't fly a kite,
Though he tries with all his might.
Halloween time only brings him rocks,
Never gets valentines, only gets mocked.
Baseball captain, worrier, friend,
We all love Charlie Brown to the end!

That's the Peanut Gang, you see,
Funny comic strip to read.
Though they bring each other strife,
They'll be friends all of their lives.
Charles Schultz was smart, yes siree,
Children help the world to see.

His Dragonfly

I'm amazed at the beauty of God's creatures.

I was watering our garden, just like I do everyday, when I found a dragonfly sitting in a row of corn. First I just glanced at him, then I looked again. He wasn't moving; just laying there between two corn stalks. As I looked at him, I marveled at his amazing designs. He was so pretty! I took picture after picture, trying to capture the beauty of this creature.
















Mister Dragonfly, I thank you that you came to my garden, to allow me to experience your beauty, the beauty of a creature of God.
