I answered the phone. I saw that my BFF Riley was calling me.
" Hey Riley!" I say into the phone.
" Heyo !" Riley said." Want come over?"
"ive got the babysitting job right now! Remember?"
"Oh yah! ill text you later bye !" she hung up the phone so quick i couldnt even say bye. The girls looked so tired so i asked them if they wanted to take a nap. They nodded their heads. Marisol layed down on one side of the modern sand colored couch and Ruth on the other side.
" Can you tell us a story?" Ruth asked.
" Sure!" I say. I ran up the stairs and chose a picture book from the collection. I found the book 'Amelia Bedilia's First Apple Pie' by Herman Parish. I remembered how much i used to love the series. I read the back of the book. It said this: Meet Amelia Bedelia! She's shorter and she's younger than the one you know, And her only job is having fun, But she'll make you laugh all the same!
It sounded pretty interesting to me. I ran down the stairs to the girls. They were still in the same position. I started to read. Then I was on the last sentence of the book.
" She made all our apples in the first place." I read.

I looked up.The 2 girls were asleep.

When the girls finished their snack they asked me if they could watch some TV. I said it was okay but I told them that their mom Ms.Watson only wanted them to watch 30 min. of TV everyday. We all went to the living room. They both wanted to sit on my lap so Ruth sat on one leg and Marisol sat on the other. We watched Elmo for 30 minutes. They loved it. My phone rang right when 30 min. was over.

The kids from Lexington, MA in a one-time performance of a modern Christmas Carol, at the Hancock Church. My two granddaughters were in the show. You would recognize them. Daria was in the choir, very formally dressed, with white shirt and tie, all that stuff. As for Bianca, she was also in the play: look for the young lady with furry boats. I'm wondering whether May, Bianca's good friend, was not in the play, too. It seem to me that she was, the girl with a very open smile (wait a little: all of them had open smiles, so... okay, one of them).

DOGS.........

 Aloha dog lovers!

              This is a quick story about a dog named the  Hawaiian Poi Dog. The history of this dog is right here. PS I found this on the internet.

History

The original Hawaiian poi dog derived its name from poi, a Hawaiian staple food made from kalo or taro root. Poi was used to fatten the dogs for use as food because meat was too valuable to be used as dog food. Since the Hawaiian Islands did not have large land mammals other than feral hogs, Poi dogs weren't needed for hunting. The dogs were never deliberately bred to a standard, but human and natural selection still came into play.
European explorers like Captain Cook encountered pot-bellied, short-legged poi dogs that freely associated with hogs in the village. The dogs had very short hair that could come in any color, but brown poi dogs were regarded as distinct enough to warrant a specific name. The dogs also had peculiarly flattened heads. The latter trait is sometimes ascribed to the diet of the dogs in some unspecified way. Considering that poi does not require chewing, the dogs might have lost the need to maintain strong temporalis muscles; a reduced temporal fossa will cause a dog's head to appear flattened.^[1] Poi dogs were considered rather dim-witted and sluggish^[2] – any good hunting dog with acute senses would neither make a good poi dog, nor be particularly useful on the islands – however, the dogs were strong-willed and not easily commanded.
The poi dog was a two-purpose breed – used for food and as a lucky charm. Unsuited for anything else, the breed declined to extinction as the native religion was abandoned and eating dog meat became unfashionable. Feral dogs of European settlers interbred with the poi dogs, and by the early 20th century at latest, the breed disappeared as a distinct entity.

Usage

Today, the term "poi dog" is most often used to refer to mix-breed dogs, but also attribute specific characteristics to Poi dogs, including the ability to eat anything, a strong will, and a unique appearance composed of different breeds. "Poi Dog" is also used to describe mixed breed dogs; sometimes, the term is colloquially used to describe people of mixed Hawaiian-Anglo heritage, although the more common term in use is hapa.

Sneezing Princess Paisley

Princess Paisley

Once upon a time there was a princess named Paisley. Paisley had blond hair and a golden shining crown. She would always wear pink dresses. The problem with Paisley was she would always sneeze. When she sat down on her royal purple throne she would sneeze and get the purple throne dirty. One day she was walking past a guard and she sneezed right on him. The queen, queen Megan decided that it was time for princess Paisley to have manner lessons. So one day Princess Paisley walked into the lesson room. "Hello, I am the manner teacher Miss Franks. Do not sit like that on a chair it is very rude. I will teach you to be a lady. I heard from your mother Queen Megan that you are sneezing to much and your also sneezing on people. I decided that you will need a handkerchief. So you can sneeze in it." Miss Franks said. "Okay, but can I choose mine?" Princess Paisley asked. "Of course." Miss Franks responded. Princess Paisley chose a white one with little tiny pink flowers on it. After using the handkerchief so much she didn't have to sneeze so much and everything was okay in the kingdom.

 Brinley started the car. She drove to Fiona's street which was "123 Gulopald Street". Sarah got out of the car. Sarah's blond wavy long hair was in a braid like usual. She walked up the front steps. Ding Dong went the doorbell. "Hello!" Said Fiona's mom Mrs. Hanery. "Come in dear you must be freezing!" She said lovingly. "Okay. Thank you!" Sarah said. She entered the blue house with Ms.Hanery. "HI Sarah! Let's go!" Fiona said. "Fiona! What time will you be home?" Ms.Hanery  asked. "7pm BYE MOTHER!" Fiona said. "Bye!" Mrs. Hanery said. Fiona and Sarah walked outside and shut the door. They ran to the car. "Hi Fiona." Brinley said. "Hi." Fiona said. Fiona had black, long straight  hair. Today it seemed that she was wearing it in a ponytail. "Oh Sarah, I have something to tell you. Remember when I went to new york a couple of weeks ago? Well I got you a gift. Here. It is a key chain that you can put on your backpack." "Thanks," Sarah said and hugged her friend Fiona. Soon they arrived to Sarah's house. "Fiona, my sister needs to get a job. Do you want to help us find one?" Sarah asked. "I would love to." Fiona said.

After hearing Brinley and her mom's conversation she took the home phone and called Fiona her best friend. She typed in her number then she started to hear Fiona. "Hi," Said Fiona. "Who is this?" "It's me Sarah Birlden. I was going to ask you if you wanted to come over to my house and play until 7pm because we also have t.v.  time at 4pm and we can watch a movie." Sarah said. "Let me ask my Mother" Fiona quickly said. 50 seconds later she was back on the phone. "Hi Sarah? My mom said yes but do you mind having your sister drive me?" Fiona said. "Sure." Sarah said. " we will be there in 20 minutes. Bye!" "SARAH I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING! Brinley shouted. "Sarah, can you help me find a job? I promise I will drive you anywhere and I will give you 20 dollars and I will do your job for a week. Do you say yes?" "Yes." Sarah said. But I need you to drive me somewhere first. Tomorrow we will start finding a job but we will not take it yet because we are in Florida." "Okay where do you need me to drive you?" Brinley asked. "Fiona's house and back." Sarah said. " Okay. Mom we are going to Fiona's house and back!"Brinley said. "OK!" Her mom said. Sarah and Brinley got in the car.

The Florida vacation Chapter 5 PACKING

 Sarah went to her room and started her luggage. She packed clothes, books, her black teddy bear named Randy, her camera and her toothbrush. She knew she was missing something. Her brush! She was missing her brush. When she was done packing she started to clean her room. It took one hour to clean her room. Then it was 11:57-Lunch time! She ran to the kitchen table. She almost forgot about lunch. "Hi Mom" Sarah said to her mom while she gave Sarah her rice and chicken. "Hi Sarah. Where is Brinley?" Her Mom asked. "The last time I saw her she was cleaning her room and that was an hour ago." Sarah Said. " I'M HERE!" Brinley shouted. "I was just finishing my luggage!" "Brinley we need to talk. Come to the coffee table in the living room after you eat and do the dishes."Mrs. Birlden said.  "Okay." Brinley Said. Sarah ate quickly. When she was done she put her dirty dishes in the sink and started her choir. Her choir today was laundry. She put all the white dirty clothes in the washing machine and left.(Her job was  to just put the clothes in the machine.) She went into the living room to get the house phone. She saw her mom talk to Brinley about something. She hid behind the blue with green stripe couch and listened. "Brinley, you need to get a job. Your dad and I can't keep lending you." Sarah's Mom said. " I will get one. I have 20 dollars and I'm going to ask Sarah to help me find one. Then I will give the 20 dollars to Sarah. Plus I'll do all of Sarah's choirs for one week. She is the best sister." Brinley said. "Okay. Tell me when it works out and you can use my blue car to get to work. I need to go." Her mom said. I'm definitely  going to help her! Sarah thought.

Hey Daria,

I like how you share your opinions about the French Poodles and such. I think you'd be good to be a reviewer when you grow up.

peaches in paris

 Today and everyday I've been in Paris I've noticed that all the fruits are fresher then anywhere in the world where I've traveled. Especially the peaches. I love peaches but the peaches in Paris are different. When you bite in one you feel happy. The peach smells like a perfume from heaven. The peach is spleanded, delightful and great. You should try one.

DOGS......

Dear Dog Lovers,
          Do you know when you go to Paris and you think that there will be so many poodles? Well and then you find out there are only about 5 poodles in all of Paris! That is what happened to me. Everyday I walk on the street in Paris. I see labs and golden retriever. I also see zero poodles! It turns out a lot of people in Paris have big dogs instead of tiny poodles or other small dogs. I was really surprised! What do you think of when someone says the word "Paris"? {Tell me in the comment bar.} I think of the Eiffel Tower and a fancy dressed woman with a silky, green scarf and a pink raincoat with a hand bag or a purse with a poodle in it! The poodle has pink clothes on it and the woman has a strong french accent when she speaks English! The woman gets mad when someone doesn't mean to push her just a centimeter. She lives in a giant apartment in Paris with maids. But the truth is there are almost no poodles in Paris at all! Please comment about what you think about this article. Thanks,
