Ever since I was little, I have always loved to swim. One day, I think I got a little too excited. When I was about six years old, I was visiting my Uncle Reno. They had a pool. I was playing and accidentally kicked/threw my toy into the pool. To get it back I would be disobeying my parent's rule of not going near the pool unless I was swimming. I reached a little too far and fell in!! I was so scared I didn't know what to do. "Should I breathe, or should I hold my breathe?" I asked myself. Before I could sink any lower, or deside what to do, my Autie Coco's dad pulled me out. After I was done sputtering out water and coughing, my parents made me take off my clothes and tell the whole story. I actually think this whole incident will start to run in the family because when my little sister was five or six years old, she did the same thing!! WOW! I hope this doesn't happen to everyone in my family!

Today i made a new avatar and it lookes realy cool and it also has realy cool things on it like scratches under the eyes.

every thing I am about to tell you is if I was principal for a week. I would let there be free cookies, treats, and drinks. There would be recess all day long .The classrooms would be made out of candy, and you could eat it. The kids would also get free balls. There would be vending machines. At lunch the movies wouldn't have to be g. There would be stand for cotton candy and popcorn. There would also be a stand were you could ask for any kind of lunch from anywhere for free! Hurray!! all the kids would get to take a field trip to the candy factory and taste and make candy.

Tomorrow is going to be so great. I get to lead the class meeting chart at school, it is also a minamn day at school. I can not wait!! My mom might take out to lunch and I have two tests i have to do. Spelling and reading. Do you like to do tests? I like to do spelling and reading tests. I can not wait intill tomorrow, it will be the best day ever!!!  :-)

A Train that can go Anywhere!

It was a summer morning in 2001 when I heard that the train that went across the world was back. It was all most my birthday so I thought if I keep asking my mom and dad they will get me a ticket and they did. I was in the line to go on the train. When I got in playing with my toys when a loud voice said you get to pick three places to go in the world and then I go back to my hometown. When I said hawii it flew me to hawii. After a few days we left and then I said china we flew to china. When a few days past by we left when I said Newyork city it flew me to Newyork city. after a few days we left . While the train flew to my home town it ran out of gas we crash land in fossil island I went to get some fossil tripped over a fossil grabbed the fossil and ran to the train when came back to my home town I never told anyone adout my amazing trip.

today is a very special day because my mom gave me a ticket for a train will go to three random places.

I was going to get on the train when suddenly started moving so I raced to catch up and I jumped on one of the cars and went inside. when I got to my seat I saw that it was a red leather seat lined with gold buttons. At our first stop I found we were in china. Then a voice came over the loudspeaker "the train will be leaving in one hour." So I stated to look around the train to see how we got to china so fast.

But it was just a normal train. I started to look around the city. about a hour later I ran back to the train and right when I got on we started moving. A few minuets later we arrived in Alaska. The on the train gave us coats. We seat off on our trip around the city. The city was so interesting. One hour went by so we went back to the train. Our final stop was las vagas. We varied and got off and took a look around the city. we checked out some hotels and casinos but we had to start going back. When we got on the train we started heading back to our home town. My mom was waiting for me and she told me I was gone for four days! I was glad to be home.

THE END

Ever since Valentine's Day my dad has been begging me to visit his work. The only problem is that it's really far away! We would have to drive to the train station, then ride an a train, walk to the subway, and then take a stroll through the town, and finally, we would be there. I told my dad that I would first have to think about it, but I already knew what my answer would be from the second I said, “Hold on!”

But later just before I was about to go to school on Thursday, my dad was i9n the laundry room ironing his shirt meanwhile, I was eating breakfast, and I marched straight up to him, and said, “”Dad...I'm ready!” Sounding like a solider from the military.

We left on Friday's morning sunrise, and then I said to myself, Marriah, you are going to be okay! Nothing to worry about! But I was wrong. Well, let's just say, that my dad started out like this...

“Marriah? You ready?” my dad called out. I was upstairs fixing my hair. “Yeah, ready! Just one second!” I finished quick, ran down stairs, and grabbed my jacket lying on the couch. “Let's go!” I exclaimed starring at my dad, still putting on his shoes. “Okay!” we both walked to the garage door, and drove off into the car.

When we got there, the floor started rumbling like we were in a movie set when there was a giant coming straight at us. “That's the train!” my dad told me. “Come on'! Let's get in before it takes off without us.” So we both got in, and after we found our seats on the third floor, my dad told me that I could have the window seat. “Okay!” I said joyfully. I looked out the window, and saw the muddy ground... since it has been raining for the last couple days. Then, all of a sudden, the floor began getting smaller and smaller. The conductor announced to the crowd, “We are now in the air, off the tracks, and headed straight to Candy Land!” my dad and I looked at each other, after we heard that speaker. I fell asleep that second. I guess I may have past out that moment, but I only know that, because I woke up with a weird looking old lady looking down at me lying on the floor. “Are you all right?” she asked me. “I'm all right!” I whispered as I was slowly getting up with my paws like a wild kitty cat. “You're in Candy Land now! -but not to worry your little head about anything! You have all the candy in the world to cheer you up!” “Thanks! Gee, A LOT!” my eyes grew wider every time I saw more and more DELICIOUS candies! I couldn't believe my eyes any longer. But of course, to ruin my enjoyment, my dad whispered back to me, “Honey? Don't you remember, we've got to go! He helped me up, and we were on our way back to the train.” “Thank you!” My dad and I yelled to the old woman. (Although I just couldn't resist myself, I had to have at least one piece of candy on my way out.) So I grabbed a leaf of sour skittles, and I was on my way journey through the grass of gobstoppers.

Later, after we got in our seats on the train home, or as my dad and I thought, we had a sudden stop in the middle of nowhere. (Or should I say, in the middle of the sky!)

“Our adventure begins!” The conductor said through the tiny microphone earpieces. “Let's get out, and jump on the clouds!” yelled one of the passengers. Sadly things end up very well for him. Just like his idea, he did just that. He jumped out of the plane, thinking he could sleep on one of the fluffy white clouds, or as he called them; pillows. He fell right through them, and flew in the air, and landed straight on the floor. SPLAT! No one knew what happened to him then, nut the next day, it was on the news. Weird things happened that day.

My dad and I did eventually end up qt my dad's work office, but that's a whole other story!

We never told anyone else about that journey that day. Somehow, my mom knew every detail though!

                                                                                   My favorite video game is Wii. I like it because it could go up to 4 wireless controllers.

My favorite game is new super Mario bros. The characters are Mario, Luigi, blue Toad, and yellow Toad. Baby Bowser is the bad guy you have to try and defeat him 3 times to beat the game. The other bad guys that you have to fight are Bowser's minions, Bowser, and super Bowser. World one is like grass, there are lots of toad houses. Toad houses are thing that will get you extra lives, items, or a star. World eight is what I'm on. It is ,It has lava, has little of warp pipes, and meteors, lots of meteors. There are two castles that you have to beat, there are two in each world. One you get to the top of the castle you have to battle the boss. These are the things that pop out of a question mark. The penguin suit is my favorite, you can slide on the enemies throw ice balls, and slide on water. My second favorite is the Yoshi. You can eat enemies and fly for a short period of time. Fire flower can instantly kill the enemies. Ice flower can freeze the enemies then you could pick up the frozen enemies and throw them at other enemies. For star if you bump in to enemies they will instantly die, but if you fall in lava then you instantly die. Next is the propeller mushroom. If you get it you will be able to fly, glide, and do a tornado pound. Now we are talking about the mini mushroom, you could fit through small warp pipes, run in water, glide, and jump high. The bad thing is if you get hit once then you die. You also have to pound on its head instead of jump on it since you are mini. The regular mushroom makes you bigger so the next time you get a question mark you will get something better. World 9 is a secret world. There are eight doors, and those doors represent the eight worlds. If you collect all the star coins in one world then you unlock the first door. If you want to know more than get the fun game.

If I were the school principal for one day I would make everybody have ice cream sandwiches and make it teams and hardies at the handball courts. I would let them rip up homework also. I would make every classroom have chocolate factory and the red cart outside is free. When It is lunch time the table is made out of chocolate and marshmallow.And Everyone has a car.

All the webkinz were all busy for a special holiday. The shops were crowded with people. All the people were arguing to go in a taxi. The bakeries were full of delicious sweets. "This is the most special day in Kinzville! I'm surprised all the stores are open!" said little Liz lizard. All of the streets were busting with awnry people. “Everyone, Everyone! Please settle down in your warm confey seats! When the music is played, I will call up people. La' Ring Tails, come up. Black Beauts come up” One by one a family came up. And all of them became part of Kinzville.

I really liked gold rush day. First I made a map with Mrs. Paul. I did not mess my x up. The gold x is where you put the gold. Then I ate flap jacks. Mrs. Cole and Mrs. Smith made them. Next I learned songs. Last I mined a cookie. It was so fun. But I ate it. My favorite part was the flapjacks. The flapjacks came with a advertisement. It was a movie about the gold rush. That was a day I would never forget. I like gold rush day!

We've been reading McBroom and the Big Wind. This kind of story is called a tall tale.

1. Go to the websites below and read the tales about Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill. While you're reading, try to see if you can figure out why tall tales are called "tall tales."

Paul Bunyan:

Pecos Bill:

http://www.americanfolklore.net/pecosbill.html

2. If your parents tell you to "Stop telling tales," what does that mean?

3. Go to: www.visuwords.com and type in the word exaggerate (make sure you get both the Gs in there). See if you can find 7 other words or phrases that describe what you might find in a tall tale.

Answer the three questions above in your own post titled: Tall Tales. Use: dlindsay, genre, tale in your keywords.

Now it's your turn:

In another post, called: My Tall Tale, write a tall tale involving a story about yourself. It could be some outrageous story about how you got to school today. Now's your chance to really lay it on thick!

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all. And second of all, I can't believe boys are allowed!!! It is after all a girls only club!
