It seemed to be yet another average day for George the comic shop owner.  He was ready to sell as many comic books as possible.  He looked out the window as he switched the closed sign to open.  To his amazement he saw a man in a spider-man costume standing in front of his shop.  Thinking this would be good for publicity George went back to work setting up his stock of comics.
     After a while George heard a noise from upon the roof, of all possible places, and thought to look.  Yet this was only a thought, with which he proceeded, and it couldn't possibly be the man in the costume.  George walked up to the door and peered through the glass window.  To his confusion the man had seemed to no longer be there.  Rather than jump to conclusions George walked outside and looked up at the rooftops.  He looked up just in time to see spider-man on his roof and climbing to other roofs.
   "So much for a publicity stunt.  That man is just not ordinary!  He's going to scare of the shoppers!" Thought George as he watched stunned with amazement.  He walked into his  store and went back to work again.  Suddenly the door opened and in walked the man, on the ceiling as opposed to the floor.  The man looked down at George and said "Hello sir, I couldn't help but notice that my ability is distracting you from your work.  I will stop climbing your ceiling right now."  The man fell of the ceiling and landed on both feet with the help of a single thread and said "I would like to buy a comic book, my good man.  Preferably a Spider-Man issue to be more precise."
     George looked at the guy and said "sure thing." as he turned toward the shelves he asked "what's with the mask anyway?  Are you trying to be like Spider-Man?"  The man stood there and said in a serious tone "I am spider-man.  Now as for paying you for the comic how much will it cost me?"
   George said in a calm tone "It comes to about five dollars for the comic."   The man said "okay" and handed George the cash.  Reading the comic the man said "HOLY COW! My secret identity has been revealed by this comic!"  The man pulled of his mask and revealed himself to be Peter Parker.  George said "This can't be real you're not physically fit enough to be Spider-Man."
     After pointing out this fact George woke up sweating and got ready for yet another normal, non-exciting day at his store.  The End

  One day there was a man named Jacob. He was really nerdy and he loved comics. He liked batman comics and supper man comics but his favorite comics where spider man comics.  He also loved super hero shows like Wolverine and the X-men and the incredible hulk but his favorite super hero show was spider man show. So one day he got a spider man custom on and went around town stopping crime but he just got beat up. But then he beat them up with his webs.

Once there was a middle-aged man named Arnold.  Arnold was very lazy, fat, and grumpy.  So grumpy, no one would ever want to visit him.  When he walks in the park, everyone stays away and whispers.  One day Arnold got mad because everyone hated him.  He got so angry that he decided to go to the costume store and buy an evil costume to scare people away.  The sad thing is that he didn't know that Spiderman wasn't a bad guy.  He dressed up and went to the park.  There was a birthday party going on there.  There were lots of children running around and laughing.  Arnold hated laughing the most of all things.  He went in and screaming "BOO!" at all the kids.  One of the parents in charge came by and grabbed his wrist and took him to a big stage.
     "Kids!  Look who came to say hi!", She yelled.
     He was confused and wanted to leave the stage as soon as possible.  The children chanted "Spiderman!" for many moments.  He finally did something and looked at them and screamed "BOO!".  All the children cracked up and started pointing at him.  He thought to himself, what did I do wrong.  I screamed and they weren't the least bit frightened at all.  I have to be cool.  That's it!  I'll be cool!
     He started running around the stage making noises and sound affects.  He did a cartwheel and failed, but the children still enjoyed him.  Ever since then, Arnold has loved making children laugh.

Write a story about the following picture:

Connor: Blog Of The Day

My first resolution was to brush the dogs twice a week at least.  My second resolution was to get my learner's permit so I can drive a car.  My last resolution was to shave regularly.  In order to brush the dogs more often I will be taking Franki and Rex outside more often.  In order to get my learner's permit I will take the actual driving test.  As for shaving once every few weeks or so, I will try to remember to shave more often.

Gabe: Blog of the day

My first one was to control my temper more. I am just going to use my normal tools but more like breath when I get upset  and walk away and ignore . My other one was to post on this blog and my blog once a week. I am going to observe more so I have more to post. like I am going to watch ava's yoga to post about it. And park day tomorrow.

Kiki: Blog Of Blog

My resolution is to do more piano.  I'm going to do more piano by working more with Avery.  I will play the piano everyday.  I am going to look for some new piano books and for some lessons on the computer.  I am going to work on learning to read notes.  I would really like to be able to play Christmas songs by the end of the year.

My New Year's resolution is to teach more Wiggle Worms yoga.  How I'm going to do that is by making more plans on how to do class.  Lots of times I will plan it the night before class and normally it's always the same.  I am going to someday soon ask the Marble Falls library if I can teach yoga there too!  My inside my head goal, that will be completed in years possibly, is to get on the Ellen show.  I know it's silly, but the idea sounds fun. And it might happen if I work hard enough.

Daddio: 1/10/12 Blog of the Day

Welcome to the last year of the universe: 2012!  Now we all know that, according to the Mayan calendar, everything's going to blow up and the universe will stop existing on December 21, 2012.  But that didn't stop us from making resolutions.  So for today's blog of the day, I want you to post up what your New Year's Resolutions are for 2012 and your plan for sticking to them.

Marney's B-Day Night Out!

Okay, so yesterday Mommio came down with the stomach flu that Connor had the day before and Jack had the day before that.  And last night I was up with Max, Marney, Ava and Kiki because they caught it and were throwing up all night.  Mommio's still feeling sick this morning, but the kids feel okay.  So instead of taking Mommio to the hotel for her birthday night out, Marney is taking me.  Yay me!

So we set up responsibilities for the older kids at home to take care of Mommio and the younger kids, and we Marney and I left for the hotel.  We got early check in and, after unpacking, the first thing we did was get ready to go swimming in the indoor pool and hot tub:

Here's Marney in her "Ready-To-Cannonball-Action-Pose":

And here we are in the hot tub.  We love this picture:

Now we're back in the room and watching Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer.  Later tonight we'll do makeovers and nails and watch two more movies: Kung Fu Panda II and Mr. Poppers Penguins.  Marney is already camped out on her bed and ready:

Marney promised to post more stuff and pictures up tonight.

Mommio: Happy 9th Birthday Marney!

Gabe: Texas State Cemetery

  We went to the state cemetery in Austin.  It was really big and had a lot of graves. There were three whole sections of confederate soldiers graves. We saw Stephen F. Austin's. We also saw Bob Bullock's grave.  There was also Ed Burleson's grave, he was a Colonel in the army. General  Johnston was in a big grave buried there.

Avery: Polar Plunge!

This morning at 10:00 o' clock, we all put on awesome shirts that Nana made. We gathered many towels and headed down to the lake. When walking down we saw a dead snake! It was really gross and cool at the same time. We had everyone line up in front of the ladder. We jumped in the water as fast as we could and tried to get it over with fast. The water was 59 degrees (it was 45 degrees outside)! I thought it was going to be way warmer than that. We got out fast while everyone was screaming. My legs went numb and I thought I was going to die. Although, I sometimes over react to things. I had an awesome time and I promise I will do it again next year!
