Looking for Peter Rabbit's family under the tree...
This weekend we got new porch furniture for the side porch. I was so excited! And the children have had a blast with the boxes- Marc made a fort with hanging lights inside and many secret places for weapons-
Julia and Tucker (who is lately called "Sparky the puppy dog") made a little house with an American flag-
By the way, this morning Julia had a birthday party to go to at 10:30. We left early and on the way to the party I let her go to a horse show! She loved it!
Actually, he's "Sparky the puppy dog" with Julia, and "Sparky the guard dog" when he plays with Marc. :)

On the way home from school on Friday, Marky said, "isn't there a program on the computer where you can type out words and print them?" Um, yes- it's called Word. "Well, I want to write a short story when we get home."
And when we got home he ran to the computer and sat for the longest time and wrote a 2-page typed story. Then he started a new one! You know if I'd asked him to do that he would have complained and said it's impossible, but I guess all the reading of Encyclopedia Brown and Hardy Boys got him in the mood to write his own mystery. :)

I love their childhoods. So glad that they have time to create, play, investigate, and enjoy.
Very fun story, Marky! I am impressed with all the quotation marks etc. Remember we really never typed anything until late in high school if i remember correctly. ps: We have been reading Secret Garden too every night. It is quite a long book but we are loving it. It is my copy from when I was a child.
I am so impressed with his story and grammar! My third grader has a far way to go to reach that in a year! Way to go, Marky!
