If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

Went out to meet Ben's bus and it is cold and dark outside.

When does the time change?

Soon I hope. Because it is real hard getting a kid up for school when it is pitch dark outside.

Nick finished his project for civics and paper for English yesterday. They both turned out very nice. I can't wait to see what grade he gets. In English they had to write a short story about escaping danger. Here's how his went.

Narrowly Escaped Danger

Once upon a time, early one morning a little boy named David went into the woods near his village. The woods were very cheerful. He saw some animals he had never seen before.

After a few minutes later David came to the part of the woods where there are two portals, one side is happy and one side is evil. He had heard of these portal but had never believed in them. He had also heard if you go too far in one you will be stuck there forever.

Around mid-day David turned back to go home. But he tripped on what seemed to be a magical root that sent him flying intot he dark portal. When he noticed that he was in the evil world he hid under something fluffy. He felt a cold sensation on his face. So he jumped up. It turned out to be a wolf. But this wolf was a portal back home. Before he could get his brain to say "jump on the wolf," the wolf ran away. so there was David sitting there wishing he hadn't ran off like a sheep.

The next day he saw the wolf drinking out of a lake. When he tried to sneak up on him a bear came out of nowhere. So again and again the same thing happened for many years.

But then on fateful day he snuck up on the wolf and jumped on it. The wolf ran hard and very far. When it finally stopped it sent him flying home. His mom said, "time for breakfast." It had only been a dream.

I told him it was a story I would like to hear more of. It's just the kind of fantasy stuff that I like.

I have a busy day ahead of me. Ben's school for most of the day. I also need to take Nick to get some new glasses. His got broke in a dodgeball game on Friday. Some kid nailed him in the face (it is a nerf ball) and his glasses broke in half. Grrrrr. Nick said the kid was like a foot away when he threw it. I was so upset and ready to call the school, but then Chris said it was Nick's fault for not taking off his glasses...so I shouldn't call.

We have a make-up game tonight at 7:00pm. It is going to be fareezing! I will make sure to bundle Ben up real good.

Tomorrow is Nick's follow up appointment with the doctor. I am looking forward to seeing how all his test results came out and how she feels his progress is going.

Time to get Nick up for school.

Be blessed everyone!
