Scrolls from Sir Charlie

Right now its 4:50 AM december 31, my birthday. Dad told me that it was around 3:00 PM in the afternoon because we are 14 hours ahed. the flight yesterday was 2 hours to Toronto, then we waited there for 2 hours, then took a 15 hour flight to japan. we have the smallest apartment ever, I had to sleep on the photon next to the bed ( it was actually a couch ) . Today we are going out and exploring tokyo. last night me and Dad went out to eat at a restaurant, the first 3 that we went in they said where closed evan though there people sitting and eating in it, the third was open! we got an "assorted appetizers" and I ate everything there. There was snails, something weird but good in this green sauce, there was also shrimp with burnt sea weed surrounding it, there was (my favorite, also dads) a tomato with crab on the inside, there was (my least favorite) was a slice of meat with a mushy texture ( it was horrible ),and  there was raw salmon with seaweed. Then dad ordered oct...

I took our mini ipad and some lego's and a pinch of creativity and--- well a lot of  creativity---as I was saying, and also imovie and I made this!!!

This morning, me mom, and dad discovered that we had attracted much more beautiful birds with our new bird feeder. I immediately came to the thought of making a birdhouse to. We went down to the basement and started to make the dimensions. It took us half an hour of math and numbers before we even used anything beside a pencil. After cutting the front and back we talked about pythagoras theorem for a bit trying to get the dimensions for one part of the top. Planning More Planning Photo of Planning Most things that i do with my dad are math (or anything he can make into math, evan in is not evan remotely close to it)

I woke up then I went down stairs finished the movie Flubber. Then I came back up and biked to eat breakfast at Au-bon-Pain. Then I biked to the Chu’s house to work on the float. I biked home, got my ripstik, and went to J.P Licks to wait for Zack. Once Zack came, me and him went back to the Chu’s house. We asked dad if we could get froyo and dad said yes. We ripsticked to Orange Leaf then went home. Zack’s dad picked him up and I went back to the Chu’s. We worked on the flote some more then me and dad went home. Dad took a shower then we went back to the Chu’s. Me, Dad, and Mike took the float to the lamb roast. Then me, Ezra, Waylon, William, Evan, and Matteus started a game of manhunt. After the first two games, Julean started playing too. After many more games the lamb came out. I had 5 helpings. A lot of people went on the float, and we took it down a super steep hill to Parts and Crafts. Then we all walked back to the lamb roast. We had dessert and a song. Then...

O ne hot summer day in june i went out in my backyard and i felt a weird sensation that something something strange was going to happen. I went into the garden and saw a small ring and it gave me the feeling of wanting to pick it up, so i did. I went inside and put it on the first thing i felt was power rushing through me and then i blacked out. "ARE YOU OK!!!!!!!!"said a voice in my ear. it was my best friend Ezra. "Yeah i'm fine" i groaned. "What happened" he asked to be continued

<-----This is me reading harry potter and the half blood prince. We stayed at a camp called camp wa wa segowea. This is me and my cosin Escher on the land that my great grand mother owned. This is the lake on camp wa wa segowea. This is me fishing on the lake in a mini dock at the fishing derby.

On Saturday morning I went to a pancake breakfast with my dad and my brother. It was in the basement of a nearby church. I had one  plain pancake with whipped cream. It was delicious, but not as good as my dad’s chocolate and banana pancakes. While I was there i saw Carrie, David, Dylan, Evan, Happy, Mr. Parintozie and Marty. We took Evan back to our house to pick up Andrew who was waiting at our home. From there we drove to fencing to drop Max off. From there we continued to the aquarium. As soon as we got there, we went into the membership line and I got a penguin stamp on the back of my left hand. From there we went to the stingray and shark touch tank. The sharks were all in the back corner where  nobody could get to touch them. The stingrays were everywhere  and they felt soft, fatty and smooth. After a little bit of that we went down a staircase to the jellyfish. We saw a jellyfish so small that you can only really see it clearly with a magnifying gla...

photo by Kerri This last week we got our grandparents dog Kallie for the week because they were in Florida visiting my cousins. One of the bad things about Kallie is that when you leave her alone for a little while then she gets bored and looked around the house for stuff to chew on. When we get back home one of our favorite pens or a cool toy could be half gone and slimey!!!! One time she even chewed up my shin guard and ripped off the foam padding that goes inside and touches my leg. She also chewed up a sponge, wind up toy, lots of LEGO® and even a lightbulb!!!!! We also bought her a new rope with a ball on the end and she chewed that up too!!! Luckely she did not destroy anything to valuable. Another responsibility while dog sitting Kallie is that we had to take her out for a walk about three times a day and we had to pick up the poop. When I walk her there is always another dog some were and Kallie is so playful that I have to hold her rope around a tree like a pulle...

I woke up one morning because of a strange amount of white light streaming into the room from the window. I got out of bed and looked on what was outside. “THERE WAS SNOW UP TO THE PORCH EVERYWHERE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran down stairs to get my snow gear on. Once I got outside I dove into the snow happily and started to dig, then I dug some more. Until it was as tall as me and much wider. I quickly jumped out and ran inside to get my brother. He  so sleepy I had shake him awake. We went downstairs to eat breakfast because I was starving and I wanted him to come fast outside to play with me in the snow. Once we were outside, I jumped back into the hole to dig some more, this time with my brother.We spent about one hour in there making a room big enough for me to stand but Max had to slouch a little bit to not bump his head. We were bored of digging so we climbed up and out of the hole then hiked down the street (with some difficulty )to Alma and Gale’s house. On...

tortoise I've been wanting a new pet. I want a tortoise, but I may get a turtle because a tortoise costs a lot of money. A tortoise can cost about $100.00 or more, where a turtle costs around $20.00. The size of a turtle tank is 4-5 times longer than the turtle,and  3-4 times wider than the turtle.If the water is to shallow then they can get hurt. They need special light such as UV light ,incandescent (for heat) and fluorescent (for essential health).12 hours of light a day using both UVA/UVB fluorescent. Aquatic turtles eat crickets, meal worms, wax worms or comet goldfish. The size of a tortoise tank is a 40 gallons or larger glass tank with a screen on top and lots of room with a shallow water dish to soak their shells. They will also need a dry hiding place and UV light ,incandescent (for heat) and fluorescent (for essential health). You must maintain a daytime temperature between 70-85º for basking. Also you need to use an under tank heater...

photo from Ginny Westrick of a baby donkey While I was in St. John, I saw a few really cool animals. Here are some pictures of what some of them are. First, there were lots of amazing and awesome land animals. For example, I saw mongoose, deer, donkey,  anole (native lizard), land hermit crab (giant),chickens and roosters Lots of things were strange on the island of St. John, like chickens, roosters and donkeys roam the island. photo from Greg Nadeau of some donkeys by the doorstep at night photo from Ginny Westrick of a real mongoose -- I was feeding it Ginny's peanut butter sandwich Next there were lots of really cool animals that live in the water. While snorkeling I saw some trumpet fish, many schools of fish, a big green sea turtle, a ray, a baby pufferfish, a dead lionfish and a few barracuda. One time when I was snorkeling with my mom, we saw a humongus barracuda. All my mom wanted to do after that was to get back to the shore and rea...

Bananaquit I took this picture!!!!! For February vacation I went to the Caribbean on St. John.  We stayed with my grandmother’s friend, Sally.There was a big porch with a swimming pool, a table and 4 beach chairs. On the first morning of February vacation, my Grandmother told me that a bird called the Bananaquit   loves sugar water. So we went outside, got the bowl, then took it inside. We put a lot of sugar and some warm water in the bowl to give to the birds. Then I carefully took it back outside. As soon as we got inside again, two came immediately. They were about 4 to 5 inches and had a  big bright yellow belly. The rest of their bodies were black.   I thought that were very cute. It was funny to watch them bend up and down to get the water. Some times there was as many as 8 all bunched up. I got them water almost every day.

Click, Clack, Moo:  Cows that Type This fall I did something very exciting. I was in a play called “Click Clack Moo.” It was run by three high school students, named Molly, Jenny and Erica. They were called Center Stage. There were twenty or so kids and we rehearsed at the Armory Center for the Arts. Every week we would play awesome games. One was called “the bus ride of dooooooooooooom” where Molly would go around the circle and choose one person to come on the bus. Then she and everyone on the “bus” would have to act like that person who just came on.   Another game was the “belly race” where everyone would get on their bellies and race to the other side of the big room. Whoever won, would get a five second penalty so other people could have a chance to win. Once I won twice in a row, even with the penalty. Other times we did things for the performance.  Sometimes we would practice our parts. I was Patric the pig. I would sit down at a table with the o...

This week, we had a snow day.  We got about a foot of snow. It was the best snow we have had all winter because it was awesome for snowballs, and snowforts too. I had a great day in and outside on my snow day. When I woke up I got out of bed and looked in my brother and moms beds, they were asleep (dad was traveling). So I went downstairs with my book, got a blanket and pillow and sat down on the couch to read.  This was a great way to spend my first few answers because i did not have to stop because it was a snow day. After i had eaten breakfast I decided it was time to go outside. I got on my snow gear and went out to play in the snow with my brother, Max. First we went to the back yard to make a snow man.  Then we realized no one could see our work so we squashed the snow balls all together and took them out to the front so people could see. We saw that we had so much snow so we wanted to make an igloo. A few years ago Mom and Dad bought snowbrick makers. So w...

Last night I went to the magic the gathering prerelease for born of the gods set. It was so cool, you would get 2 born of the gods booster packs, and 3 theros, and as much land as you need.

The final round I played ben zaches brother and i finally woThe final round I played ben zaches brother and I. This my best card that I got was Elspeth Suns Champion.

This weekend I went with my family to Middlelberry, Vermont a nd stayed at my friend Finny's gandparent's house. There were five families at th e  house: 2  from S omerville, 2  from C ambridge, and one from Vermont.  These are some of the things we did: -pilow fights -flash light tag -playing out side with Lili, Ezra, Andrew, and Finny on the pond   -RISK -Settlers of Catan -backgammon with Ezra -sking -chickens One of my favorite things was dogeball in a field house. But it wasn't exactly dogeball beacuse there were not two teams but there were multiple tagers and one ball. How it worked was the one with the ball would run all over and try to either freez some one or thow to another tager. There was one safezone too but even that was not that safe, but it was also the only place that you can touch the ground. There was a big net arond the safezone too so if the tager came in you would just lift the net up and run out. b y...

Today me and some of my friends were going to a Magic the Gathering tournament at Comicazi , but when we got there  they said that it was canceled, so all nine boys came to my house and we did a  real tournament. First I played Max we were doing best of three. Max won the first and I won the second time and the third I won. Then I played Felix and lost the first and second. I lost and was out of the tournament so I went out side with Evan and Zach and played hot-lava for a long time!
