The Garbage Boy

One day there was a little boy named Jack.
Everybody thought that he was a nerd, just because his dad was a garbage man and they thought that Jack's dad was no good to them. Jack thought that his dad was really special.
Jack went to see his dad every day after school and helped his dad do the garbage.
Ond day, some boys from Jack's classroom came to the dump and they told Jack's dad that he was a loser and that day, the dad felt like quitting but nobody that worked at the dump wanted him to leave. He was the best worker.
Right before the dad was going to quit, the boy said, "Dad, I think you have the coolest job in the world. You can't quit! When I grow up, I want to have the same job as you! The reason I love your job is because I find cool stuff and you fix it! You can't quit!"
All the other boys said sorry. Then the boys helped Jack's dad too!
The boys said, "Your dad does have the coolest job in the world."
Then the boys begged their dads to have the garbage job. So, their dads got a garbage job too.

The Bird Wars

Once there was a hawk and lots of other birds: Ducks, ducklings, crows and more. The hawk was trying to get the other birds. The hawk called the other hawks. The other birds heard the hawks and started to fly. The hawks flew after them. The moms and dads tried to protect their babies and they soon were in war.
All of the sudden, a lot of eagles flew in and the hawks started to fight the eagles instead, and the eagles fought and fought until the eagles won and there 2 hawks left and they flew away.
All the birds said, "Thank you!"
Then the eagles flew away.

A Farmer's Love

Once there was a farmer. That farmer loved his animals, but one day the farmer had a little surprise. A FARM THIEF. The thief stole one of each animal, and the farmer's best ones too. So the farmer went searching for his animals.
He searched his whole town. He found his chicken and his goat, but still no dog. The dog really got dog-napped. The dog usually came to the sound of his whistle, so the farmer whistled. The farmer looked behind his house and all his family was there - and his dog was too! When he heard the whistle, he had escaped from the dog-nappers!!
The farmer ran to the dog and the dog ran to the farmer.
"Yes!! I found you, YES!!"
The End

Praying for Houses

Yesterday we prayed for 35 houses and we walked! It was soooo fun! We are going to pray for the houses and go on the walk every month for a year! It's going to be sooooo fun! We pray for town houses and lots of other houses. I can't wait to do our next time we go on a walk.
Guess what?
There was a trap in front of a guy's house. The guy said it is for skunks! There is a family of skunks living under his porch!!!
We had a really good time praying for houses. I even prayed for 2 of my friends.
BYE!!

our vacation

On our way back from our vacation my mom had to have a playdate with here friend. There

was lots of hay. And we found a snake. We got to hold it. I loved it we had the perfect trip.

do you fear the wind

by Hamlin garland


Do you fear the force of the wind,
The slash of the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf Go wade like the crane:
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your cheek well tan,
you 'll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,
but you 'll walk like a man

bye

going to coombs

Yesterday we went to Coombs. Grampsie had to stay home & help the guy do their drawers for their new kitchen. I wish he would have come!! Guess what we got at Coombs? I got a wooden sword. It is really cool. It has rope all around the handle. It was more money than the usual swords. I also got a mini wooden dagger. And we got BIG scoops of ice cream. The thing that was bad about it is that we had to drive 2 hours to get there and 3 hours back (because we stopped at a beach).

I saw millions of crabs. Under 1 stone, I bet I saw 100!! I captured them in shells & then closed them up & showed my mom.

She took lots of pictures.

Seeya!!

on my birthday

I was excited to turn 8 because in my family when someone turns 8 they get their bank account! I just got mine.

First off on my birthday when I just woke up, Cairo brought me breakfast in bed. There were eggs, 8 strawberries, a latte and oatmeal. Next off, when Mollen came home from school we all teamed up and did a big scavenger hunt then just ME, I did a treasure hunt. There were money and gummy bears at every clue. I had to share the gummy bears, but not the money. They knew that I would take my money up to my bed so they hid something under my blankets... It was a SCOOTER!!!!! But, it broke. My mom & dad returned it & got a different one. This one is WAY better. Do you know why? It shoots sparks out the back. Real live sparks! I ride it lots of times.

Then, my last clue on my treasure hunt said: Go ask Dad what to do next. When I went to ask dad, he said, "It's almost time to go bowling!"

Guess what's weird in bowling that me & Sloan did? We went: 0, 0, 0 on our first try THEN on our second try we went 0, 0, 0 AGAIN but then on our third & fourth tries, we got strikes! It was SO much fun going bowling. When we got home, we had a big pizza party. AND ice cream cake.

It was an awesome birthday. I like being 8.

My Trip to BC

A couple of days ago, my dad had to go on a field trip so he dropped of me (Charter), Mollen and my big sister at my grandma and grandpa's house. They walk EVERYWHERE! We walked even to Dairy Queen. We got ice cream. It was a dipped cone. My cousins were there also.
Speaking of cousins, in 3 weeks all of us are going to my other cousins house. They want me and Peyton to put on a karate show! We are going to do it! We are just going to figure out what karate moves to do for it.
Karate is tomorrow, so we will know more moves.

Contest Ends!!!!

Now...
I will tell you how far I went because the contest is OVER!
I jumped 17 feet and 7 inches. My mom measured with a measuring tape. I might have other contests, but the next one will probably be easier.
Now go try to beat my record. If you do, post a comment! If it beats me, I'll be jumping off the swings every day to beat you!!!!

Contest Ends Tomorrow!!!

So far nobody has beat me in my contest.
You only have ONE MORE DAY to beat me. Go find a swing and JUMP OFF!
up, UP and away you go!!!!!
Good Luck beating me!!!
I'll tell you tomorrow how far I went at 8 o'clock in the morning.

jumping contest

I'm up!!

I'm going!!!

I'm GONE!!!
I am having a jumping contest on my blog. Whoever jumps the farthest wins a prize. If you enter my contest, post on my blog and tell me how far you went and you might win. Go to the nearest park and start jumping! You might beat me but my friend's mom said that it's almost impossible to beat! I'm not going to tell you how far I went or you will lie and say that you went farther than me! So please enter my contest!
We measured from the swingset to wherever your feet land when you jump.
Good Luck!!!

when Ephraim was born

That was Ephraim's first morning. Isn't he cute??

140 pokemon

I was going to bid on 140 Pokemon, but my mom said, "tomorrow". Today IS tomorrow! So I might bid on it.
I bid on 14 Pokemon, but my mom did not tell me that the Pokemon are 3cm tall and the 140 Pokemon are little too, but I can get them for $1 for all of them and Peyton and Mollen get all of the Pokemon that I do not want so they will be happy too. Mollen is bidding on a Pokeball. I am bidding on 14 Pokemon for $1. Not each though. If it was, it would be fourteen dollars!! And for the 140 Pokemon it would be $140!! But it is not, so that is good that it is not!!
BYE!

journal entry

Caleb came yesterday. I taught him how to beat Poptropica. We had so much fun. We threw balls at each other. Just when he left, me and my dad went to the driving range. At the driving range, I hit 120 yards. Then we had tacos for supper. They were sooooooo good!
Me and Peyton are going to get our Gis for Karate. When you get past your black belt you change into a read Karate Gi. It looks SO COOL! I cannot wait to get it. I practice Karate LOTS.
Gis look so warm. I cannot wait to put mine on. Peyton's friend is driving us back, but my dad is driving us there. Karate is so much fun. We have to work hard, but it is still awesome.
Do you know what else is awesome? My family. My mom and dad and brothers and sisters!
Bye now!!

Getting our gi's

I went to Karate yesterday. I learned how escape from enemies trying to capture me. And, if someone's poking me,
I know what to do.
You grab onto their finger. Your pinky goes at the bottom and your thumb goes at the top. Then you twist it backwards. It hurts the enemy. Really badly.
I can't wait till I'm a different belt.
We had to change in the bathrooms. It was kind of embarrassing.

Well, that's all!

All about Pokemon

Pikachu is going to get beat up by Raichu in the first round. In the second round, Pikachu is going to defeat Raichu. Lots of Pokemon got beat up by Raichu. Raichu is what Pikachu turns INTO.
Ash is Picachu's trainer and Ash is going to catch Squirtel. I pretend I am Ash and I am going to get Squirtel so I will be more like Ash. I make my pokemon fight together.
I make Pikachu win.
Bye!

journal entry

My Gam and Gamp came to visit. They went to Mollen's school concert. My Gam and Gamp got very excited to go. My Gam and Gamp had SO much fun. Me and Gam are going to have a game of crib and I'm going to kick her butt.
I hope.
I love Gam and Gamp.
Gamp fixed my bike and pumped up my tires and raised my seat. It feels soooo nice to bike now. I go down hills and bumps and it works perfect. I go really fast down hills.

If I Could Fly

If I could fly, I would tell my family. Then if I get left behind, I can fly to the place. Or I can fly to the car. Or if all of my parents are busy and I was supposed to go to a playdate I can just fly to my friends house. And if a plane leaves without me I can fly and follow it to the place that we're going. And if I want to go to the candy store I can just fly to the candy store with Peyton and Mollen. Or I can take Peyton to karate. It would be so much fun to fly! See how there are so many things you can do if you can fly?
Bye for now.

Karate with Peyton

Peyton and I are going to Karate today. It is going to be so much fun. When I finish, it will be 8 PM. When I start, it will be 7 PM. We have to call our teacher, "Sensei Derek". Peyton's and Mollen's friends are going to be there. It is two months long. I am going to show all of my moves to my grandma and grandpa. They are coming tomorrow. We are going to have SO much fun together.
My dad is going to take us to Karate. It is one hour long but it will be worth it! When I imagine it, it has cushions and lots of exercise equipment.

me and my muscles

Sunday was nice.
Now it's not.

snowy anniversary

It is snowing outside. I had to take Mollen to the bus stop. It was cold.
When it is snowing, my favourite thing to do is play with lego. I build hotels and houses. It's fun. Ephraim LOVES the snow. He thinks it is awesome but cold. He is so cute.
It is my mom and dad's anniversary. We get pizza but my mom and dad get to go to Earls. Cairo is in charge.
Me and Peyton are going to Karate - (but not till tomorrow). Gage is cute. I built a hotel out of lego. I am going to show it to my mom. Gage loves pizza and he is lucky.

Bidding on Ebay

Hi it's... nevermind.
Yesterday me and my mom looked on ebay. We saw Pokemon! I bid on a squirtel. A squirtel is a very cute pokemon. My sister Mollen bid on a Piplup. A Piplup is a cute Pokemon too! Mollen already won her Piplup but mine still has 2 days to go. I hope I win! I have 3 Pokemon. Soon I will have 4 (if i win). As you can see, I love Pokemon. I am going to bring my Pokemon to California.
If i win, I am going to bid on a different Pokemon. I pretend that my toys are Pokemon and I am the trainer. I love it. It is fun.
I want to win the Pokemon.

Neopets in Winter

It is snowing lots and lots outside. I do not like it. It is spring, but it feels like winter. I wish it would stop. When it snows outside, one of my favourite things to do is to play neopets on the computer.
I have a thing on the computer. It is a neopet. You have to feed it. You play games to get money and you get a free omelet every day. It is great to have one. There are "double award" games. They give you more money than other games. I have 4 thousand $ and I play it lots. I love the computer. It is awesome. Me, Peyton, Mollen and Sloan all have neopets. Sloan has 42 thousand $.

answering questions

I got a question in a comment from Granny.
She said, "What do you do with Pokemon?"

Pokemon are little animals (they're not real though). They all have special powers. They all are a "type". Like Pikachu, he's an electric type of Pokemon. Groundon is a ground type. A Groundon can dig holes. A Pikachu can do electric shock, and thunderbolt.
My Pokemon are plastic figures. They are all a little bit broken. Silas (my cousin) gave them all to me. Pikachu is missing his tail and one of his ears. Groundon is missing both of his arms. My other Pokemon Shinks is missing a head and a tail, so I don't use Shinks that often.
When I'm playing with my Pokemon I pretend they're fighting! I bash them together. Pikachu is NO match for Groundon because electric type can't beat ground type. Groundon is "half a hotel" tall. He's REALLY big!
Pokemon trainers (the owners of the Pokemon) keep the Pokemon in little balls. Pokemon shrink to fit into the little balls. They can have a big rest and get healed when they're in the little balls.
That's all for now!
If you have any questions about anything else ask me and I will answer on my BLOG!

pikachu gets lost

Pikachu Gets Lost
By Charter Beselt – Grade 2
Pikachu was in the woods. There were lots of wild Pokemon in the woods. Pikachu liked being a wild Pokemon but he missed his trainer who had abandoned him. It was winter and Pikachu was hungry because food was hard to find.
All of a sudden a net fell on Pikachu!
“We have him!”
It was Team Rocket! Team Rocket was really sneaky. Wherever they hide, nobody finds them. When they capture somebody they make them steal from other people and bring the stuff to them.
The next day, after only a crumb to eat he was about to walk out the door. Then he noticed that he was evolving! He was glowing white and his body was growing taller and taller by the minute. In just a couple minutes, he was a Raichu! He used a thunderbolt and Team Rocket ran out the door screaming, “Help us! Help us!”
He chased them out the door. His trainer was there! Team Rocket ran past his trainer. His trainer saw the whole thing!
“Come back with me and I will fight more battles with you and I am sure you will win!” His trainer invited him.
Pikachu felt happier than ever. He ran up to his trainer and gave him a great big hug.

In three months we might go to California! It is 20 hours to get there. It is a very long drive. We were going to stay home but granny can't babysit so we might go too.
Gage is dancing to my mom's music. She plays piano. She is very good at piano. She broke her knee cap she is going to get her cast off soon. She is very excited.
My fiddle is broken but it will get fixed.
Ephraim cries lots, but he is still cute. He smiles lots, but he poops millions but nothing can break his cuteness. He and Gage are funny. My dad is too. Cairo is a very good cook. She makes good things.

everything I know

stories of skiing

Yesterday we went skiing. My sister got a boyfriend. She kissed that boyfriend! That boyfriend's name is, "The Ground".
i was laughing.
Just like this: hahaha!
I only fell twice the whole day, and once I bumped into a guy. I accidentally went on top of his skis and we both went rolling down the hill. Now, THAT was funny.
We had poutine. It was VERY yummy. My dad spoiled us. Again.
We didn't get any dessert because Cairo didn't want any. Thanks a LOT, Cairo.
It was very windy.
I LOVE skiing!!
That's all for now!

My First Comment

I was very excited when I checked my blog this morning! I had my first comment! It was from Granny. I like comments because I like reading them. I'm curious what people think of my entries. Granny likes my entries about stories. I'm going to write more entries about stories. I like my blog very much!

Good bye!

Just a couple days ago my Gam was over. She always brings presents. This time she gave us her wii! There is tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing on the wii. The wii is very fun. Just the other day Scott was over. My dad thought he could beat Scott. He was wrong.

my grandparents

It's me again. This post is about my grandparents. This are their names: Gramps, Granny, Gam, and my Gamp. They're all very fun! Well, see you later!

The Twisty Teacup

I read a story today. Little Critter went to a fair, and this story is about some of the rides there.
Little wanted to go on the Twisty Teacup. Grandpa told Little Critter that that ride spins an awful lot, he wanted to go on the Merry-go-Round. At the beginning of the story, Little Critter thought the Merry-go-Round was a baby ride. At the end of the story, Little Critter wanted to go on the Merry-go-Round. I think Little Critter and Grandpa will go on the Merry-go-Round next. Maybe after that they will go to the pie eating contest!!

It's me again! My brother is one month old. Right now he is smiling and talking to my gam. He is

My First Entry

A dog was heading home. He had to cross a bridge. He slowly went, and he saw a dog in the water. Really, it was his reflection! He dropped his meat and jumped into the water. The other dog was gone!
The dog was sad that he lost his meat.
