A viking house would just have one room. Vikings fought a lot and they were good fighters. They often fought to get money, lots of money. The vikings lived a long time ago. They would heat up their house with a little fire that made steam come out a hole in the roof. To get from far away countries to get money, they would sail on ships and sometimes get attacked on their ships.

I would like to live in Viking times because I want to be a fighter and Vikings were fighters and they had lots of money.

One day, I was waiting in my vet office for pet owners and my dad came in with  his pet eagle. I didn’t know Dad had a pet eagle! My dad said that his eagle’s mouth couldn’t snap shut. The eagle’s name was Fred. I looked inside Fred’s mouth and I saw that something was holding it open. It was a rock shaped like a fish.  Fred must have eaten it because it looked like a fish. The rock had cut the roof and the bottom of his mouth and it was bleeding a little bit.  I pulled it out.  It stopped bleeding.  Now Fred can snap his mouth shut again. Dad said “thank you for helping my eagle” and I told him that Fred can only eat soft foods until his cuts heal.

Once upon a time, Abigail wanted to go and have an adventure in the middle of the night.  She walked down the road, into a forest. It was very dark, but she could see stuff because of the moon. She came to a clearing and then she sat down on the grass for a little bit. She heard some cracking noises, and it sounded like it was coming from behind all the trees. Abigail was scared because she thought it was a big bear but then she saw a little deer coming out of the trees and now she wasn’t scared. She liked the deer and wanted to bring it home. She decided to bring it home and see if the rest of the family wanted to keep it. When it was morning, she showed them the deer, and they wanted to keep it. The end.

Today I’m going to help you make a grilled cheese sandwich. You will need bread, and cheese, and the sandwich press, and a knife. Plug in the sandwich press so it warms up. Cut a thin piece of cheese off the big block of cheese. Then take a slice of bread and put the slice of cheese on the bread. Then take another slice of bread and put it on the cheese. That’s called a sandwich. You put the sandwich in the sandwich press and close the press and open it up again when the green light turns on. Now you take it out and it’s a grilled cheese sandwich. You can have ketchup with it, if you want.

I went to the Military Museum and it was fun. We saw statues of army men. We saw big green and beige tanks that were real. We saw airplanes with their wings folded up so they wouldn’t hit each other. There were displays of army men, they were big with grass on them with pretend explosions and lots of army men on them. In between the airplanes there were statues of army men. I like the Military Museum and I want to go back one day.

“I wish I had a million dollars,” said Gabe.
And Grandpa said, “Why?”
“To buy that cool car!”
“Why do you think it looks so cool?”
Gabe answered, “Because there are flames on the side and spikes on the top.”
And Grandpa said, “I like that car, too. I wish I had a million dollars, too!”

Our family loves to play with Lego. We make huge spaceships and build our own Lego guys. Abigail and Emily love to wreck our creations. Sophia likes to eat the Lego. Mommy and Daddy like to clean it up. Lego is fun for the whole family!

Once upon a time there was a fat rat. The fat rat’s name was Pat. Pat was a nice rat. Pat was so fat because he ate so many marshmallows. He couldn’t stop eating them because he liked them so much. He got so fat that his tummy popped.
