Some benefits of being me

lukas4jesus — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 13:40:55 +0000

Here are some of the many benefits of being me. As you can see, my life is different from yours. I would say my life is better than other kid’s that are my age. I have a few reasons why that is so. That’s what this blog is about. I’m here to tell you why life is good for me. Here are some benefits of being me. The first benefit is that I am homeschooled. Because of this, I have less school so I can get finished in half the time. The second benefit is that I have Blu-ray connected to my TV in my bedroom. Lots of people my age don’t even have TVs anymore! A third benefit is that after school (my brothers and sister are homeschooled, too), we have a Wii in our living room and it’s always available. The fourth benefit is that we have a dog that’s big, cute, soft, and furry. He’s a good dog, even though it takes lots of skill and speed to catch him when he gets loose. The fifth and final benefit for now is that since we get done with school fairly quick, we get to spend the rest of the day doing anything. That means we get to do lots of fun stuff until the next day. Yep, my life is good, but it’ll get better in about 70 years or so. Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye!

Why I hate climbing trees

lukas4jesus — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:00:09 +0000

As said in the title, this blog is about why I hate climbing trees and also some things I like about them. Let’s face it: I hate climbing trees. There are a few reasons why. One reason is that it’s challenging. The branch you are closest to could be six feet away from you and it could be small. There are many challenges when you’re climbing trees. You have to have very good footing and you have to be able to climb really well. If you can’t climb, stay away from trees. You never know what risks you’ll take when climbing trees. For one thing, you could fall and end up like our little sister did a few months ago. Nobody would want that to happen. You wouldn’t want to not be able to move your arms until you get your cast, would you? There are, however, benefits from climbing trees. You can find five foot sticks and use them as swords. What I like to do is jump on trampolines. If you’re like me, you can jump ten times higher on a trampoline than you can normally. That helps you do lots of tricks, like air flips and 360s. Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye.

What Life Is Like Right Now, no.4

lukas4jesus — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 15:07:19 +0000

That’s what I’m here for. I’m here to tell you what my life is like these days. First of all, the phone has been found. That means no cleaning all day until we find it. But the bad news is that it doesn’t work. It turns out that the phone was in the worst place possible. We found it in the trash. It has water inside it because of the bad weather a while ago. It doesn’t work, and Mom doesn’t trust us anymore. I don’t know who lost the phone, but whoever lost it will be responsible for any punishment we may have. I will find the culprit and finish him off. He needs to be ripped limb from limb. He needs to be tortured and…I’m getting carried away, am I? That happens to everyone. I don’t know what’s gonna happen to us. I’m glad we don’t have to clean all day, but this might be worse. I have no idea if Mom’s never going to let us leave the house for the rest of our lives or what. I just know that I need to be extra carefull. If we loose another thing, she could make us clean the whole house everyday until we move out. It doesn’t help that the dog sheds at a daily pace. Well, that’s myblog for today. Bye.

My daily routines

lukas4jesus — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 17:23:54 +0000

Here’s what I usually do these days. That way, you get a clear mental picture of how I live. First, I get up. Next, I go downstairs. After that, I eat breakfast. Next, I take the dog out. Then I do my school. We do chores in the middle of our school. Next, we do chores after our school. After that, we eat lunch. Then we do the dishes. Later, we go outside. Next, I take the dog out again. Then we lay around. After that, we do more chores. Later, I try to figure out what to watch that night. Next, I take the dog out another time. Then, we do more chores. After that, we eat supper. Next, we brush our teeth. Then we go to bed. After that, I put on a movie. Next, I watch the movie in bed. Later I go to sleep. Next, I toss and turn. After that, I start dreaming. Later, I wake up. After that, I go back to sleep. Next, I toss and turn again. Later, I feel something heavy plop on my stomach. Next, I wake up to see the dog laying on my bed. After that, I go back to sleep. Next, I toss and turn again. Then at last but not least, I get up. That’s my daily routines. Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye.

Fun with texts

lukas4jesus — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 16:07:41 +0000

Here’s a blog post about the fun side of texting. Texting is fun, and I’m here to tell you why. You will learn the many different puzzles you can make and even smiley faces! Let’s start with the first part. Find “not awesome” in this word: awesomeawesomenotawesomeawesome. Good. Now find “men” in the word. Let’s go on to smileys. Helping me today is Mr. Green himself: ! He is the best at smiley faces. To figure out how he does it, just look up smiley faces for WordPress. He’s going to write a small story about him and his friends Supersmile: and Laughies: . Here’s Mr. Green’s story. was hopping down the road one day. He saw banging his head on the wall. asked, ” , why are you banging your head on the wall?” said, ” told me it would make you smarter.” raced to ‘s house. arrived and banged on the door a couple of times. You could tell he was mad. Finally, opened the door. ” Hi, . What a surprise,” he said. ” How’s it going?” asked. ” Good,” told , ” Whatcha doing here in the middle of nowhere?” ” I came to talk to you about ,” said, ” Come with me.” The two smiley faces ran off to see . They finally arrived at the wall where was. spoke, ” , did you really tell him that if he bangs his head on a wall, it makes him smarter?” ” Yes, I did. I’m a comedian! I made a funny!” When got tired of it, he got up and started saying all this advanced scientific stuff. ” Wow. I actually am getting smarter! Thanks, ,” he said. ” See?” said . was shocked. He hopped off, laughing like he was going crazy. Thank Mr. Green for the awesome story. Well, that’s my (and Mr. Green’s) blog for today. Bye!

How trampolines makes great landing pads-the story of trampolines

lukas4jesus — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 12:59:20 +0000

Today’s blog post is based on the story of packages. I’m going to make more of these soon. So welcome to ”How packages are fun 2″!!! I might make a logo for this in later editions. Here’s today’s blog post. It’s all about trampolines. They’re basically just moon bouncers for older kids. You bounce high like moon bouncers, but there’s no walls around you or anything. Do you know what? I know how they make trampolines. It’s a big circular piece of material which is connected to springs which is also connected to these metal bars which are together in a shape of a circle. All of that is connected to four metal stands. So basically the springs are the ones that make you jump high, not the “magic material” or anything like that. Also, trampolines help break falls. This might not be accurate, but I think all you have to do is fall less than 30 feet and the trampoline will save your life. But I think police officers and other important people have these stronger carrying trampolines about the size of regular ones. But you could probably fall 3000 feet higher and still live. That’s about all you need to know about trampolines. They’re bouncy, fun, and life saving devices. The only problem is that it takes five or more people to actually move that thing. Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye.

Dogs, weather, and straws

lukas4jesus — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 12:44:17 +0000

I have three topics today. I’m sure this will affect my blog ideas for a few days, but I’m doing it! Mostly because each topic is small. It’ll be too short for a full blog post. So I decided to do all three. My topics are dogs (get used to posts about dogs), weather, and straws. Let’s start with the first one. There are many dogs out there. Some go where you want, while others (like our dog) are stubborn. Some stay where you are, while others (like our dog) chase all the dogs they see. Some do tricks at your command, while others (like our dog) don’t even sit unless you force them to. As you can see, all dogs are different. Here’s the second blog topic. Weeks ago, it was freezing outside. Yesterday, it was almost 70 degrees outside. I can’t believe the temperature went up 50 degrees in no time! Weeks ago, it was snowing outside. Now,we are glad that the ground’s not sopping wet. And I want to go outside in this cool weather when the sun’s not shining in my eyes. Here’s the last blog topic. All about straws. Ordinary drinking straws. But they have a few more purposes. There is spitballs, the worst device in the world. You can make a small bridgeout of drinking straws. And here’s Justus’s favorite. You cut off the small corners off the tips of one side, so it looks like a triangle. Then, you cut a line in the middle of the triangle from the top to where the triangle stops. Next, blow in it. Congradulations! You have your very own duck call!! Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye.

What dogs do for fun

lukas4jesus — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:52:49 +0000

I never knew what dogs did for fun. I never thought about that. Everybody wonders what dogs do for fun. I mean, we have benefits that dogs don’t. They can’t understand anything that’s going on in a tv. They can’t jump on trampolines. They can’t ride rides in a carnival. They don’t have opposable thumbs, so they can’t play sword fighting. They can’t drive motorcycles. They can’t go to places other than the vet. They can’t play board games. They can’t bungee jump. They can’t go bowling. They can’t play anything we can. Makes me feel sad on how much dogs are missing out. But I think this is what dogs do for fun. All they can do is run around. That’s just about it. That’s why you should run with them. You should play fetch with them. You should scratch its belly. You should play tug of war or other doggie games with them. Because they’re missing out on so much in our lives. We need to spend good time with our dogs. We need to be there for them. They die after ten years or so. That’s why you need to spend time with your dog. Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye.

What Life Is Like Right Now, no.3

lukas4jesus — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:52:31 +0000

This is another blog that talks about life. This blog tells about what our lives are like right now. Here is today’s blog post. Ahhhhhh, Valentine’s day. The only holiday where you can eat 20 pieces of chocolate and you won’t get punished. The holiday where you’ll be seeing red and pink all over the walls in stores. But it’s over. All over, and now it’s back to our ordinary lives. The next holiday is a month away, and you don’t eat five pounds of chocolate on that one! So you won’t be seeing that chocolatey goodness untill Halloween, and that’s a lifetime away. I can’t believe they make you go eight months without candy. Let’s skip the crying and the sad songs playing on violins. Let’s continue to the other parts of my life. Yesterday, Caden had this habit of letting the dog get loose. He opened the back door and walked out. He let the door opened, so the dog got loose. When we got the dog, it was a few minutes before Justus got home. He said he couldn’t find the dog. Until he seen the dog in the living room. Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye.

How packages are fun-the story of packages

lukas4jesus — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 13:30:30 +0000

I got the idea when I was taking a shower for church. I thought about packages. The UPS guys put items in packages for people who ordered them. You can get different toys in packages, like the ones you see in adds. But don’t order those. One reason is that it costs so much for just…well…not much value. Let’s skip all of this. The reason I’m writing this blog is that I found out that packages are fun. I know what you’re thinking. How can a package be fun? It’s just a box. There isn’t anything that would make a package fun. But that’s wrong. There are three things that make a package fun. Here they are. The first thing is simple: bubble wrap. Bubble wrap is used in a package to keep the contents from breaking. But children like me use bubble wrap for a different reason. Every kid in the world likes popping the bubbles in the bubble wrap. There’s small bubbles, big bubbles, assorted sized bubbles, and more. There’s blue wrap, purple wrap, red wrap, and more if I could find out. The second thing is packing peanuts. They also keep the package’s contents from breaking. There are a lot of things you could do with packing peanuts, but us kids mainly use them for one thing: STYROFOAM FIGHT!!!! The third thing is mainly the box itself. You can use the box for many reasons. If you have a refigerator box, you can play inside of it. You can use a small box for a space helmet or something. You can use these three things for anything. Well, that’s my blog for today. Bye!
