A little girl named Braelyn was a fairy for Halloween and she went trick-or-treating with her friends. When she opened the door she said "Trick-or-Treat!" and a moster appeared! She freaked out and then went back home. She told her mom and dad what had happened but they didn't believe her. She told them the truth and they did believe her. They watched a Halloween movie together and went to bed. The End We've been reading lots of monster stories and Halloween books. My favorite Halloween books are: - I Need My Monster - A. Noll - Pumpkin Jack - W. Hubbell

Once upon a time a bear lived in a house. This bear had one little bowl and one little bed. It was a baby bear but he didn't have a mommy or a dad. But he did like his own company. And this bear was 5 years old. This bear lived in a big house but a very little bed. He could read his book while he was in his chair. For the past 3 weeks we have been reading teddy bear stories. My favorite bear stories are: - Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Retold by Jen Brett (You might have noticed how this book has influenced my writing.) - Ira Sleeps Over - B. Weber - Alfie Runs Away - K. Cadow

There was a girl and there was a spider. There was a big giant spider that hurt her. Then she got a necklace and the spider got her necklace. Then, it was in his tummy. She was crying. She got a new tape and a new necklace. She hung a calendar on the wall (with the tape) and she put her necklace on. Then the spider got away.

Braelyn: You know president Obama? Mom: Yes. Braelyn: She's my best friend. Mom: He's a man. Braelyn: He's my best friend. Mom: Why is President Obama your best friend? Braelyn: Because he's President Obama. Haha. Mom: What does President Obama do? Braelyn: I don't know. He speaks and talks to everyone. Mom: What does he talk about? Braelyn: No response. Back to playing with bath toys. Mom: Well, I know your Papa will be so proud. ;)

Throw things in the yucky pond. We found rocks. And looking at bugs. We play in the sand. We picked flowers.

This morning I fell off the bed. I was jumping on the bed. I got blood. I screamed and you hear that loud noise. We cleaned the blood off and tried to put ice on it. And THIS! ( She is referring to the Tylenol. She holds it up enthusiastically, and no doubt, with gratitude at its existence. ) (Mama notes: Yes, sadly this is how our morning began. It has been a very long day. I'm not sure how much you can see from the picture, but the right side of her face is quite swollen. I think she literally fell on her face. Poor baby. )
