This is me on stilts at Bokrijk in Belgium  And it's me, the Bean.  Same old me. That's right, it's me.  There's nothing you can do to stop me.  Don't you love my tongue stickin out?  It helps me to stilt better.  

 This is the world's most funnest slide, especially when it's raining.  It's at Bokrijk in Belgium too.  And that's right, it's the most fun slide when it's raining because you go like zoom, zoom, zoom and then you go like wee then it shoots you out about 8 feet and then you fall on the ground. 

 And this is a sssssssssnake ssssssssssssssssssswing.  SSSSSSSSSSSS.  Be like a snake.  SSSSSSSSSS.   And it went so high like a snake.  SSSSSSS. Mom has a video of it.  Mwahahahah.   I'll see if she can put it up so you can sssssssssssssee how high it goes.   Mwahahaha.   And if you see it, it will be at the end of the entry....maybe.  Mwahahaha.

In Belgium at the zoos you can go right in with the animals.  We got to go in with the huge bats.  They fly right by you and bump into you.  My mom screamed.  I thought is was cool!!!

Here is me trying to touch one.  Mom made me stop.  Waaaaahhhhh!!!!!

In Belgium the monkeys aren't in a cage.  They are on islands.  You get to go on the islands and the monkeys come right up to you.  You can pet them and they climb on you.  I got bit 3 times.  One time by a monkey and 2 times by a lemur.  Oh well I still liked it.

Hi.  Remember me?  I haven't made an entry for a long time.  I have been swimming, swimming and swimming.  I am on two teams this year.  I have 8 practices every week and lots of meets.  My times are getting fast.  I got a 19.10 in my 25 FReestyle the other day.  On my one team, I am the fastest in my age group.  In my other team there are a couple kids faster but they are aging up so then I'll be 1st or second on my team.  I like swimming.  Here are some pictures of my at one of the pools I swim at.

Here are pictures of my playing in the snow today.  It was Sooooooooo fun!!!!  We got 8 inches so it was really deep.  I love snow!!!

We went to a huge sledding hill.  I went so fast going down (but then, I had to walk back up--ugh!)  

Hope you like my pictures.

Well, last night it snowed more.  So, today I am going out in the snow.  There is a picture of me playing yesterday.  We didn't have very much snow yet.

This is how much snow we have now------

And here is a picture of my dog playing in it.  He already got to go out and play 

I'm gonna put pictures of me playing in the snow later but right now, I have to go eat breakfast so I can go out and play.  Ahhhh, eeee, oooo,  Bye Bye.

Gotta get my school done so I can play in it.

Here is my new Star Wars Lego that I just put together.  Do you like it?  It took me a long time to put it together but I did it all without any help.  I\'m pretty good at Legos.  I really like them. 

I have been busy helping my mom around the house.  I have my own tools now and she has lots for me to do.  I am getting really good at using all my tools, especially the drill.  Do  you need anything fixed?  Mom says I can fix anything!

I am getting fast in swimming.  My new times are:

25 FR           20 seconds

25 BK           27 seconds

25 BR           27 seconds

25 FL            27 seconds

We have championships coming up soon.   I'm gonna rule the pool!  It's gonna be fun.  I can't wait til summer league cause then I'll really rule the pool. 

I'm getting moved to the next swim team level soon.  I got tested last week but the next coach said I needed to get my BK kicking better.  I worked on it really hard this week.  I'll get retested in February and I hope I move of then, before my birthday .

Christmas was good. I got to go to my Gramma's. We had fun. Santa's sack was really full this year!!

I got a Webkinz from my Gramma and a boom box from my mom. My Webkinz name is Chocolatey. He is really cute. I get to feed him every day. Webkinz has a bunch of games, too. I like Candy Bash.

My boom box is awesome. I got a Crazy Frog CD, a Jars of Clay CD and High School Musical CD. My brother made me another cd that has good songs on it.

I got to see our best friends.. They moved to Belgium so we didn't see them for a long time. They came to visit by my gramma's. We had fun. We got to go bowling and swimming. I hope them move home soon.

I had a good swim meet.  I got all best times but I got DQed in my IM.  But, that's ok that I got DQed cause then, I got DQ  NUM!  I got a large hot fudge sundae with extra hot fudge.  It was good but I still wish I didn't get DQed. 

 

I have another meet in a week.  We get to stay in a hotel.  It's gonna be fun.  I'm swimming my 25's but not an IM.  My brothers are swimming too and my friend.  We get to swim in the hotel pool and go out to eat in a restaraunt.  It's gonna be fun.

Adios.

I don't know anything to say.  I don't know.  Umph.   Umph.  Huh.  Heavy sighs. then burst into laughter.  LOL!  Oh, LOL.   LOL.   Heavy sigh. 

I have a swim meet in two days, on Saturday.  I'm gonna race and win a golden medal.  But I have no idea what I am swimming, so don't even ask.  Actually, I'm swimming 25 Freestyle, 25 Breaststroke, 25 Back and I'm swimming 25 Fly and I'm swimming a 100 IM, that's a race with all the strokes.  Squeak out loud. 

Last night at AWANA I played games in my brothers room.  There wasn't Sparkies because it was Halloween--Eeeuw,yuck!    We don't celebrate Halloween anymore, not since I was a baby.  But my brother's AWANA had a bunch of people that didn't celebrate it either so we did AWANA anyway and had fun.  We played AWANA jeapordy.  If we got the question right, we got candy.  Nummy candy.    I gots lots of candy.  I also got 2 Butterfinger bars.  Nuuuummy!

OK, everyone count with me  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Great counting everyone!  Tomorrow, we'll try our ABC's.

Adios counters.

Wanna see some things I made?  I made this pirate ship out of, um...I don't really know what they are called.  I'll just call them thingy-ma-jigs.  It took a long time to make this.    It was really hard.  It took me a bunch of days.    But, I finally finished and it's still put together. 

Shhhhh..... I am going to tell you a secret.  I made these cards for Christmas presents.  I am making all my presents this year.  I can show you the other ones after Christmas.  I just think the person I am giving these to won't see my blog.  They were really fun.  It took a long time to make them.  I was very careful so I didn't make mistakes.  I used glue, stickers, and pretty paper.

When I went camping, I got chiggers.  Itchy, itchy, itchy!!!!  I still have them.  But now I'm in my home sweet home. 

When I went camping, this was my home sweet home.   

When I went camping, I went swimming.  I caught a minnow and I caught a frog.  Although the minnow was dead when I caught him, but he was alive in the water.  When I took him out, he didn't live for a long time. 

And, I went fishing.  And, I caught two blue gills.  They are really prickly.  Don't touch them.  I even caught a baby one and it still hurt when I touched him.   And you can look at the picture.  Read what it says.  Oh, and in that picture, I got that fishing pole the day before we went.  I bought it with my own money.  \

I took my dogs, Scottie and Kimba.  I don't have pictures of them when we were camping.  But you can look at the top of my blog and you'll see Kimba, though he looks different now. 

And that's all I have to say.  Adios amigo.

I went on a rendevous.  I made a wooden peg here on this picture.  You can see...First you have to lift the mallot up high......

.......so you can smack it hard.  The peg comes out the bottom. 

This is a blacksmith.  He made a really cool thing, a leaf and a plant hanger thingy-majingy-papingy-lalilngy-wazingy 

This is me making rope.  I turned the thing 40 times.  I am TheBean.  Then, I turned it around 12 times the other way.  And that's how it began. 

Well, I did peg after I made the rope, actually.  And, I made a log cabin, too.  What. I'm busy.  Ok, I've just now talked enough.  So, bye-bye.

See you later alligator, in a while crocodile.  Now that my entry is done, I should go to bed.....just kidding.....I should go to see the lego ship that my brother made and that's atthecross.....actually, I should go to AWANA.

Bye-bye.
