One day the Stephens went camping at daytime. And after they ate, Abigail went to play in the woods. And while she was in the woods she met a deer, and she didn’t want to scare the deer, and named the deer Faline. By accident she scared the deer and it ran away. And Abigail waited for it to come back. Finally it came back, and Abigail said she wouldn’t scare it anymore and the deer believed her. Abigail went down on her knees near the deer, and gave the deer a hug and kiss. Then she went back to her camp and got a collar for the deer, then she ran back to the dear and put the leash on the deer, and led the deer back to camp, and showed mom and dad the deer that she had found. And she asked, “Can I keep the deer?” and mom said yes. Next morning, Abigail woke up and saw that mom and dad we’re packing up, and Abigail asked if she could bring the deer home, and dad said yes. And when they reached home Abigail tied up with deer inside the house, and they lived happily ever after. The end. By Abigail Eva Stephens.

One night, Frog and Toad went to the jungle for a walk to cool off and get some fresh air. Suddenly, they heard a sound and they were scared. Finally, they noticed it was an owl, and they were not scared.

They kept on walking, and they met a zebra. And they said to the zebra, “How are you?” And the zebra said, “Hello.” They waved back and kept on walking.

And they met a monkey and the monkey said he had some friends in the jungle. He said, “You might find my friends if you keep on going.” So they kept on walking.

Next they met a tiger and the tiger said, “Come closer so I can eat you!” But Frog and Toad said, “No, we will not come closer, for we will run!”

And they ran home as fast as they could. When they reached Toad’s house, they said goodbye to each other and Frog went home.

Once upon a time Owl was going to the firehouse. Owl was going to be a firefighter. He had to learn how to be a firefighter so he went looking for the firefighters. Then he heard something and the sound was “Weeee oooooouuuuu, weeeee oooooouuuuuu.” He started following the sound. He found the sound and there were all the firefighters in the fire truck.

He yelled, “Wait for me, I’m a firefighter too.” The chief said, “You can’t come with us, your not trained and neither are you in your firefighter clothes.” Then Owl said, “You can teach me and I can come along with you.” Then the Chief said, “It’s an emergency and there is no time to teach you.”

At the building that was burning, Owl saw people screaming from the roof for help. Even though he was supposed to stay near the truck, he flew up and began to save the people. A child sat on his back, he held a baby from his beak and a mother and father sat on his wings.

Owl saved the day! The Chief was so surprised that he gave Owl his own fire suit and a medal.

Nathan and Joshua are brothers. They both looked the same when they were babies. They both are boys. They both have the same Mommy and Daddy. But Nathan is 8 years older than Joshy. Nathan doesn’t wear a bib but Joshy does. Nathan doesn’t have curly hair but Joshy does. Nathan also does school but Joshy doesn’t.

I love them both and I’m glad they are both my brothers (and don’t forget Gabe!)

Dear Mommy,

May you please bring me to Calaway Park, but not bring me to Timber Falls? I’m happy at Calaway Park. I like shooting at each other and going on the big swing. We can go there without paying because you just have to show your tickets. You can invite friends without cleaning the house. You can learn to drive cars. May you please bring me to Calaway Park?

Love,

Abigail

Why is the sky blue?

A long time ago, the sky was just completely white. It had no other colors – no red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple or pink. So the Stephens kids decided to paint it. Joshua painted it all red. Sophia didn’t like that, so she painted the sky orange. Emily didn’t like that, so she painted the sky purple. Abigail didn’t like that, so she painted the sky pink. Gabe didn’t like that, so he painted the sky green. Nathan didn’t like that, so he painted the sky blue. There were no more kids, so the sky stayed blue.

How do you get ready to play in the snow? First, make sure you go to the bathroom, because you don’t want to pee in the snow. Next, put your snow pants on. Then put your jacket on. Then grab your toque and put it on. Make sure the back of the toque is on the back of your head. Then put your boots on, then put your mitts on. Now go outside and play in the snow.

One night a bad guy was trying to steal gold from a castle. He carried a bag on a stick so he could put the gold in the bag. He climbed up the castle wall and he had to be careful because he didn’t want to drop the stick that was in his hand. He tried to get in a window but the window was closed. So, there was a little ledge sticking out of the wall so he climbed over and put the bag and the stick on the ledge. Then he climbed back over and opened up the window. He had to be very quiet.

He got inside but one thing he didn’t know was where the treasure was! So he looked and looked, going in each door. Finally he found the treasure but the treasure chest was locked and he didn’t have the key! So he had to sneak into the king and queens bedroom and steal it from the king. But when he stole it and unlocked the treasure chest, the king heard it and woke up! The king went to the treasure chest and said, “What are you doing?”

The bad guy didn’t say anything, he just started running away. Then the king woke up the queen and they both started chasing the bad guy. The bad guy got out the window, grabbed his bag and started climbing down. He finally got to the bottom. The king and queen didn’t want to tear their dress and shirt so they started running toward the door. 

The bad guy ran to his own castle. He had gotten away!

I went on a field trip to Alaska! It was fun because I got to meet Miss Agnes. Miss Agnes is a school teacher. I also got to meet a lot of new people. It was cold and we played with snow balls. We didn’t go sledding because there were no hills there.

I want you to visit Alaska too!
