My Room and My Trophy

Elf won the USCF Christmas Scholastic Tournament in Olathe, Kansas, today! He won two games and drew one.  "I worked pretty hard and my mom helped me a lot, although this day wasn't the best day of my life because my mom made me clean my room and throw away stuff I wasn't using and I cried over it," Elf said.  "Mom told me to throw away a humongous dust ball and I did not want to throw it away so I hid it and Mom will never find out where it went."

Guess the Animal

A gray animal,
Leering eyes,
Lurking underneath,
It kills other animals,
Getting mistaken for logs,
And kills humans,
Terrorizing people,
Oh, how dangerous,
Red tongues waiting in water.

THE WORST Violinist

I have been practicing a lot. Still I'm THE WORST violinist! My music sounds like a house of horrors, which proves I'm THE WORST violinist! My high notes seem like screeches, my low ones sound like groans. Which proves I'm THE WORST violinist!

What it is like on day offs

If you have advice for what to do then tell me in your comment imediatly(We do NOT have a swimming pool).

A Pretend Apology

Dear Person,

I'm so very sorry for what I did. I know you trusted me to baby-sit your kids very calmly, but I couldn't help it. I'm so sorry that I did all that stuff.

I'm sorry I ate all your food and put some crumbs on the floor and dumped the trash on your bed. I'm sorry I cut off your table legs for swords for the kids to hit shampoo. I couldn't help it.

From,
Elf

My Favorite Thing

This Thomas Bear is very special to me because I got it on a holiday and it was from when I was little (I was about three) and it was from my Nana.(I just did a pose in this picture.) When I got it used to sing a little song. I used it a lot. It is still special to me. Thank you for reading!

Sam's Story, Part II

Sam knew that he had to worry about the present and the future. Right now he had to:

1: get his potato seeds and potatoes for food
2: find shelter.

And then cry. He had to worry about the living before he cries for the dead.

After he did the first step, he noticed that every-one had no home because of the fire. Sam thought :Why would the figures want to attack? What would they gain?

Sam, after some thought, decided to go out of Bag End to live in another place. It was hard because he wondered what would happen if he left like the time in "Lord of the Rings" when the Ruffians took over, but he was forced to leave, for the sake of his children.

When he was almost out of Bag End (with his children) he stopped. He saw the figures. He hid with his children. The figures went into the mud puddle in front of Sam! Sam followed them with what was left of his family down into the mud.
