Here is a picture of our pontoon boat that I made with dominoes. I wasn't able to make it so it was actually standing up, so I just made it so it was flat almost.
And then here is a picture of me standing up in the little floaty thing we pulled behind the pontoon boat.
Then here's a picture of our pontoon boat.
And then, here's a little cardboard box RV my brother and me made. It has a little bug compartment in the top, drinks in the top, me in the top, and a little bed in the top. In the bottom we have a bed, granola bars, peanuts, and a few drinks. And our Webkinz.
Scott's note: I'm cross posting this for Luke's blog. This is such a nice collection of his work.
Here is a collection of a year's worth of Luke's writing that came home from school. There are some real "Luke" gems in some of his writing. ("My [pet rats] are very pretty. But my dog isn't to pretty.")
The pages in here aren't arranged chronologically, yet it's pretty easy to tell which stuff came from the first of the year, and which stuff was later in the year. He didn't enjoy writing at the first of the year, and would only write short declarative sentences, but by the end of the year, well, he was on a roll!
The other interesting thing about his writing is that it pretty well serves as his autobiography for his seventh year!
The Three Days of Fun are the three days that are two days before the end of school, and we do on Wednesday we read and wear our pajamas to school. On Thursday, we play board games all day that we bring to school. On Friday, it's movie day--we just watch movies all day long. And I am bringing The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again.
The thing I thought was neat about the City of Taboo was that it was a pretty small island with a lot of buildings on it. I thought the more we stacked the buildings on top of each other, the more buildings we could fit. Although most of the buildings were pretty small.
The dock that you see is kinda blackish with the little speedboat on it was a dock that I built. The guy sitting on the end of the dock was the night watcher. He watched all the boats to make sure none of them got stolen in the night.
Eddie started the thing, but I asked if I could help build it, and he said "Yes" and pretty much all we were doing was waiting for Eddie's friend to come over and play, but she didn't come. So we built this thing without Eddie's friend. And Eddie and I are still going to add more.
On Friday, I went to Great Country Farms for my field trip. At Great Country Farms, we got to feed animals like goats, sheep, and horses. We saw a great big ostrich sticking his head out of a gate at us, and he said, "Where's my corn, I want some!" There was also a big slide called the double barrel slide and there were these big sewer pipes, they were like about at least 30 yards long. I went down it backwards, head first, upside down. We also got to go on the big moon bounce things that was actually a whole bunch of pillows with plastic on it. It was a gigantic pillow, at least 20 yards long!
And the strawberries we picked were from a great big field. We saw some that had a perfectly good one, but the big nose was the only problem. And Ben was taking pictures away with his mom's camera and his mom was yelling at him because he was taking too many pictures because it was a disposable camera. Oh, and there was also big duck race where on one end there were these pumps that pumped out water, and you tried to push a duckie across with the water. Whenever somebody finished their race, the water that they pumped would go into our bucket. Whenever we finished a race, the water would go into their bucket. The only colors for the ducks were blue and yellow.
I was sitting in my package when suddenly I got stolen. I felt someone running. I heard some police men chasing me. The police caught the thief. One of the officers bought me. Then he took me home. I was a cactus seed, of course. He put me in some wet soil. Then he watered me. Soon my roots popped out. Pretty soon I found my stem had bounced out too. It made me three inches tall. That was as tall as I got. I didn't grow any leaves. Instead I grew spikes. They were very sharp. I also grew this pretty little X shaped flower that was yellow. I like being a cactus!
This is a code I'm doing for my May project at school. I designed the code myself. The one that's Dad's favorite is letter "I" because it is the Scottish flag and he goes nuts about Scotland. My teacher, once she collects all the pages, she's going to make a book and copy the book so that everybody can get a copy to do during the summer break.
You can try to break the code if you want to.
Ethan and Josh - No, I do not wear a uniform in school. I just get to wear any clothes I want to wear. I think we don't have many schools in our country that make you wear a uniform. Only private schools do that in our country.
Today was my Mom's birthday, but yesterday was her party. You will see a picture of me an Eoin fighting over a sword. You will also see my Mom's birthday cake. It is chocolate with chocolate frosting. Eddie and I decorated the cake. My side is the one on the right, Eddie's is the one on the left. I also made the sign for my Mom on her birthday party. While I was making that, Eddie was doing his brochure project for school.
These pictures I got when we were at Mr. Jim's and Mrs. Lisa's house. I have one of her baby, Rachel, and I have some of the dinner that we got. The dinner was shish kebabs, with swordfish, chicken, and beef. I like the beef, it was just good to cut, nice and juicy, and it had red in the middle, which I like. There's one picture of my dog, Frank, being the most worthless dog you can think of. And there's one of the collar that Jim and Lisa gave to us from her dog Mila because it was too small. What makes the collar interesting is that it has three skulls and crossbones on it. One in the middle, one on the right, and one on the left.
These pictures are flowers that we grew. The one that has red on the outside, red on the middle, and yellow surrounding the middle red, is the one that my dad grew. The one that has yellow, yellow, and more yellow is the one that Eddie grew. The one that has yellow in the middle and white on the outside (that looks like a strawberry plant) is the one that I grew. Because it is a strawberry plant!
This is a video about Jim's bar. It sometimes has juice, but most of the time it has beer and wine and the thing that me and Eddie like about it is that it has two kinds of pretzels, one with fake butter, and the other one peanut butter filled.
This is a video about me playing basketball. The only reason I got a lot of hoops was because the basket was set on the bottom setting. I put this on here because my mom wanted to get a video of my basketball, even though I only had one year of training.
Here are some pictures of the crazy pets in my house. Explore the adventures of what Bob, Quon Yin, Fred, and Frank explore in this house. I do not know why Bob is upside down. Maybe it's because he's trying to get a tan. I still do not know why they have to eat the fresh fruit. Tio Adolfo likes to eat fresh fruit. Maybe he is like a rat. I like fruit also. I like strawberries, grapefruit, grapes, raisins, kiwi, clementines, peaches, plums, and that's it.
Hello. My name is Luke. I play baseball. I am seven years old; I will soon be eight. I like video games and pizza. And marshmallows. I also like candy. That's it.
And then here is a picture of me standing up in the little floaty thing we pulled behind the pontoon boat.
