A New Obsession

From the desk of Karlie  DeLong


Susanna and Abbi have been listening to a new story recently called The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates. Ever since, Susanna has been obsessed with pirates, even though they haven't gotten to a part with actual pirates in it. She talked her friends at school into playing that they were pirates as well. We tell Daddy not to encourage her, but he still showed her a pirates episode from "Backyardigans". One line from it says: "If you think we are noisy, that's because we are." This suits her perfectly!

A Fun Birthday Party

  Saturday, May 1, 2021 From the desk of Karlie DeLong Our friend Emma Gay turned 13 this year, and she invited Karis and I to her party. We were going to go bowling and then go back to her house, but there was a tournament going on, so we just went back for a playdate. The other guests were Zoe Meador, Aubrey Ferguson, and Lilli Farnsworth. We played some games and then got dressed up for a really fancy dinner. Emma's parents dressed up as our waiter and waitress. We pretended that we were in the 1700's. It was so fun!

Random Ice Day

 We had a random winter storm and the girls were able to be out of school!  We forgot to take many pictures, but Karis used the time to re-organize her bookshelves.  Lolli decided that her legs made a nice pillow for a nap!  Abbi and Susanna were the only ones brave enough to try to go sledding on the ice but they had a lot of fun!

9 Poems

  May 29, 2021 Abigail DeLong I wrote nine poems about our pets. Here they are: Poem #1 Lolli and Cupcake were not friends when Lolli had her kittens. I was so happy, I sang a song while I jumped on the trampoline with Karlie and Susanna Delong. Lolli had her kittens, four, But suddenly, she had one more! Lolli has five kittens; they are so cute! They make me want to jump around the house and play a little flute. I am so proud of Lolli. She reminds me of Karis and Karlie! THE END Poem #2 One of the kitten's names is Taffy. Sometimes, she is very snappy. She was the third kitten born, but she cannot blow on a horn. She is a calico kitten, but she hasn't any mittens. Lolli is very proud, because sometimes, Taffy is loud. I love Taffy very much  because she is so fun to clutch! THE END Poem #3 One of the kitten's names is Truffles. He is sweet and loves to snuffle. He was the second kitten born,  but he is secretly a unicorn! With him, I like to cuddle, for he hasn...
