Chloe's Daydreams

Hurricane Irene, August 27, 2011

Right now, it's 4:14 AM, and we kids haven't slept yet, because we've been waiting for the storm to hit. We've been looking up a bunch of things, and we watched a video of the tsunami that hit Japan. It was terrible. I just felt very sad to watch that, and I felt bad for all those people that died.

We also looked up Supertyphoon Pongson'a that hit Guam in December, 2002, when we were living there. I don't remember it, because I was only a year old, but my mom says it was really bad.

We looked up and talked about plate tectonics, and I learned that there are continental plates under the ground and the ocean, and they move on top of the mantle, and this forms mountains and is causing the sea to spread apart. We also learned that plates bumping into each other causes earthquakes.

Earlier in the evening, we looked up what the smallest dog breed is, and it's the "teacup" Chihuahua. Teacup isn't a real, technical term, but that's what they call them, because they fit in teacups! :) They are so cute!! My mom really wants one - maybe some day we can get her one for her birthday.

I was kind of afraid that the hurricane was going to hit us, until we started looking up a bunch of things that I wanted to look up, and naming hurricanes is really weird!

Good-bye for now, and I'll write more later, when we get our power back!

The End.

A Letter to Stephanie

Dear Stephanie,

I want to know when you can come over again, because I love it when you babysit us. You're the best babysitter in the whole wide world. You always play lots of games with us. Your house is so beautiful.

I hope you like the letter. The end.

Love,

Chloë

My Own Camp Trip

I had a lot of fun at camp. When Mommy got there we made my bed. I want to go back next year. When I woke up, I got my pajamas off, then we got dressed, and we went to breakfast. I ate eggs and bacon and maple syrup. Then we went to the pool. Then we went back to our tents. Then we had rest hour. Then we went to arts and crafts. We made butterflies and pawprints at arts and crafts today. The other days we made smaller butterflies and Paws and Claws made pictures.

Then we went to lunch. We had something very, very yummy for lunch. I had peanut butter and jelly and chips today.

Then we went to rest hour again! Then we went to dinner (I don't remember what we did between lunch and rest hour and dinner), and today I was a hopper. A hopper is really a helper. We helped bring the food to each table. Well, our table.

Then we stood up and said grace. In camp, you stand when you say grace. Then we sat back down and ate. We ate something yummy, yummy, yummy. Hmm. I can't remember what I ate.

After dinner we went back to our tent and got our shower stuff. Then we went to shower and took one. Then we got out of the shower, got dressed in our pajamas, brushed our teeth, put back on our socks and shoes, and got out of there. Then we went to bed.

The next morning, we had pancakes and bacon! And that was the day I lost my water bottle. It was in the lost and found. They gave me a clear cup with dots to use for my water and juice. And milk.

Then we went to our tents and cleaned up. After we cleaned up our tents, we went to the picnic tables and made squishy blue and green goo. And it was very, very, very fun.

We made a lot of S'mores, the first day and another day. We had a campfire and found some sticks and then we ate the s'mores.

And then I got a spiderweb on my foot. And then I went, "Ahh! A spiderweb! A spiderweb! Ahh!"

It was really, really exciting.

Then we went to the cafeteria and had a snack. We ate goldfish and a salad. I don't like salad but I ate it anyway.

Then we for rest hour. Then we took a nap. I slept very, very good at camp.

The counselors had to move Kaitlyn's bed because she was getting rained on at rest hour.

At the Family Program, there was a big, huge screen, and there was a bunch of big pictures of me. And then all of our little groups went out front and we sang our songs. I don't remember my song. And that Daddy brought me home, and that I started running to my Mommy as hard as I can and said, "Mommy, Mommy, I love you!"

And then we started doing my blog.

That's it. The end.

Spending 14 Days at Stephanie's: Days 4 & 5

This morning we woke up & had breakfast.  Then we went to our room & got dressed.  Later we went to the beach.  Then we came home & had dinner.  Then we went & played in our room.  Then Stephanie called me for my blog.  Next we're going to watch a movie & dessert & then we're going to go to bed.  Tomorrow we are going to church with Stephanie and Tim. 

That's it!

Spending 14 Days at Stephanie's-Day 3

Uh oh...the Blog Monster ate Chloe's whole post.  She's gone to bed so I'll just insert some pictures & link to Mel's blog.  (Where in about a half hour you'll find a detailed description of our day.)

-Babysitter Steph

So far we have Chloe playing Frisbee with Wazowski, Chloe cleaning up mounds and mounds of Lily's hair, and Chloe snuggling with Rosie May.  Chloe likes dogs. 

This picture was too cute.  Sophia and Chloe found a pill bug/rolie polie.  They claimed to have never seen one before.  I don't know how true it is, but they both touched it and explored it with childlike wonder.  After they got bored with it Chloe tore it in half  Which I thought was pretty gross.  This is her hands holding the pill bug all curled up. 

That's it!

Spending 14 Days at Stephanie's House: Days 1 & 2

Yesteday we dropped Mom and Dad off to the airport.  They are going to go to Europe.  We started out going to the pet store.  Then we went to our house.  While Stephanie cleaned, and we cleaned the house for a little bit, for Mom and Dad.  When Tim got home we went swimming.  Then we came to Stephanie's house.  Then Stephanie made mine and Jack's bed with Cars covers.  Then we went to bed.  The next morning (today) we woke up and went potty.  Then we played in our bedroom while Stephanie was resting a little bit more.  Then we woke up and ate breakfast.  Then we watched a movie while Stephanie took a shower. (Meet the Robinsons) Then we went to our room with Stephanie, then we picked out some clothes. Then we went to the living room and played with Rosie.  Then we watched t.v. Then we played in our room some more, while Stephanie was working on cleaning.  Then we went to Wal-Mart, to buy some food.  Then we had lunch, we had hot dogs for lunch.  Then we took a nap.  When we woke up we watched t.v. and played with Play Doh while Stephanie was making dinner. 

We took some pictures. This is Me, Sophia, and Jack. 

When Stephanie was done making dinner we ate it, then we had some ice cream, & then we played with the Balancing Monkeys.  Then we went to our room & played for a little bit.  Then Stephanie called me for my blog and I did it.

That's it. 

My Dance

I was happy that I was going to go on a real, actual stage.  My favorite part of the dance was the spin. My favorite show about dancing is "Dancing With The Stars." I like dancing because it is fun and good exercise.  I talked to Miss Jessica backstage and I colored three princess ballerina pictures. After I danced, I went out and waited. While I was waiting, I took off my costume and I changed back to my real clothes. Then I went out in the hall and I sat down and waited for my daddy to pick me up. When I got outside, Daddy had some beautiful flowers, and when he gave them to me, I smelled them. The color of my flowers were [sic] purple. Then we went back inside and watched the rest of the dancers.  They were amazing.

That's it. 

About My Day

I  had fun today because  nobudy  told on me.  I ate chees stiks and a par and french frise. the best part of my day was pe because we watched a movie.

That's it!
