Understanding missed and making the list.

I was so excited when I heard Dempsey say, "I need to obey my mom," and then she repeated herself, "I need my other baby, Mom." Oh well.

Pony Express

 

Once I had a trip and I went to a Pony Express Stop.  It was a really nice place.  It had a hotel by it to.  I learned a lot of cool stuff about the pony express, and about the civil war.  I learned about the president at that time.  He was a bad president.  He tried to take over the Mormon church.  I am pretty sure we all know about Buffalo Bill.  He was part of that process too.  He was also part of the Pony Express. First of all he worked with the government, then he became an outlaw.  He was friends with Calamity Jane. It is funny about his story.  He was one of those cowboys you think about when you think about a cowboy.  Calamity Jane is about that too.

The hotel had a lot of stuff in it.  Bathtubs, sinks and all that stuff.  It had a bullet hole from a misfiredgun.  The person who wrote Tom Sawyer even stayed at that hotel once.  I felt like I was staying at a hotel today.  The person who owned it had six children.  They seemed to get along mighty fi ne.  I got to see how they made cloth and all of that stuff.  I like that hotel they had some pretty steep stairs. You got to sit on the porch and everything.  Plus I even got a wooden nickel for finding all the stuff in the hotel and writing down games soliders played and stuff like that. It wasn't worth it.  If I got real nickle with a pony express on it,  I would have liked it a lot better.  

Halloween

At Halloween, we went to Grandma Winsor's house.  Boston, Alex, and the rest of their family were still there.  We went trick or treating two places.  We went to the mall and we also went outside.  I won a hula hooping contest, and I got the new movie, Pirates of the Carribean four.  I haven't watched it yet but I sure am excited.  

I did school while Boston and Alexander were at school.  I went to the Halloween parade. I made a big graph of  the costumes that they had.  I also learned a lot about decimals and fractions and the spaces in between numbers.  I did my chart in fractions and in decimals.  They type of chart was a pie chart.

My mom  cut somebody's hair.  My mom said that she would trade.  He would bring his albino python.  I got to pet it touch it, it even went to the bathroom.  It was big and fat.  It ate two rabbits when it came.  He goes from fatness to a skinny tail.  He can hold himself up by his tail.  I even got to touch his eyeball.  He doesn't even have eyelids. He eyes were really dry.  It can hold its neck up about two feet high.  Did you know that some boa constrictors can eat baby hippos.  He told me about this show on Youtube.  I thought it was pretty amazing, so did my mom.  He also brought a smaller python.  The bigger python was about six times longer than it.  Did you know that the albino can get up to twenty feet long.  The one I saw was about twelve feet long.  He was about a teenager's age in human years.
