A funny winter poem

The Abominable Snowman
by: Ogden Nash

I've never seen an abominable snowman,
I'm hoping not to see one
I'm also hoping if I do
That it will be a wee one

A poem by Pooh Bear

The more it snows

(Tiddly-pom),
The more it goes
(Tiddly-pom),
The more it goes
(Tiddly-pom),
On snowing.
And nobody knows
(Tiddly-pom),
How cold my toes
(Tiddly-pom),
Are growing.

The House at Pooh Corner

I thought this poem was fitting for the weather we have been having today!

Rug shopping

Yesterday mom and I visited 5 stores looking for a rug to match my bedroom. We found at least one we liked at every store. We decided on a 5' by 8' paisley rug. We got a really good deal, the rug was usually 450 dollars but we got the last one for 181 dollars! The rug is brown and black then at the far side of the rug there is colorful paisley. Sammy think the rug is a great resting spot. Mom and I also found a comforter set for half price that matched my room perfectly. This morning dad and I finished painting my yarn trunk dark brown, it looks very nice too. While we were rug shopping my amazing dad ripped up all of the blue carpet. Underneath the carpet is beautiful honey colored wood. Thanks Dad! Now my room is all most completely finished all that is needed is new curtains and pictures on the walls!

Painting my room

I just recently painted my room with my grandma's help. Three walls are tan and the accent wall is brown. The next stage is ripping up my carpet and decorating my walls. Here are some before and after pictures. I can't wait until we are all finished!!

Tiny Burgers for dinner

Last night for dinner we had Tiny Burgers and homemade fries. I typed out menus, that were used for telling the cooks (dad and I) what you wanted on your burger. We made two burgers for each family member. Everyone loved them!!

New years celebration

Last night we went to our friends house and celebrated the new year! We played the Wii,Taboo, and Monopoly (electronic banking) . My friends and I all loved playing with their awesome marble tower! The grand finale was flashlight fireworks, in the living room.
