Chapter 7 - Hemisphere
Jeff sat up in his bed, sweating like crazy. BOOM! Jeff heard a loud sound in his basement. And. Then. The. World. Blew. Up.
That is the story of Jeff and the letter and the package. You are probably wondering how I am alive. Well, I am an alien. But that's a different story.

Chapter 6 - Time To Die
"I know, Edd." Jeff said.
"Prank, It's just a prank." Edd said.
"NO, it's not." Jeff said with fear in his voice.
Next day...3:10PM
"I'm going to die!" Jeff called out.
"Don't worry, Jeff." Edd said.
Ding Dong. "I'll get it," Jeff said. He opened the door. Sitting there was a box. A box with a clown mask in it. Jeff picked up the mask. Inside the mask was a bomb. "Oh my GOSH!!!!" Jeff screamed.
A person dressed in black came out of nowhere, grabbed Edd and ran away. "Wait up!" Jeff ran after him sweating. The person got in a plane and took off. "No, No, No!" Jeff moaned.

Chapter 5 - Noon
"What does Coil mean?" Edd said
"It means to-"
"I know what it means," Edd interrupted."I just meant what does it mean in the letter?"
"Beats me," Jeff said.
"I better get going, Jeff. See ya."
"Bye." Edd runs out the door. 'What does coil mean?' This thought was in Jeff's head all day.
After school..."Whoot!!" Kids were running out of school yelling. "School's out!"
Edd ran up to Jeff. "Hey Jeff. I know what coil means."
Jeff said in a dark voice, "What? You know the word coil?"
"Yeah." Edd said. "We'll decode the letters into numbers by ABC order, like A equals 1, B equals 2."
"Okay"
Edd said, "The number is 315912."
"So, I'm going to die on 5/9/12 at 3:10 PM." Jeff said.
"But, Jeff. That's tomorrow!"

Chapter 4 - Coil
"Package for you," the UPS man says. Jeff and Edd scream! "What's wrong?"
"Why are you in pink? Edd asks.
"Because it's dress wacky day at UPS. Can you please get your Mom to sign this?"
"I'm coming," Jeff's Mother yells. Jeff's mother walks into the room. "Where do I sign?"
"NO!" Jeff yells. "DON'T SIGN IT!"
"Why not, Jeff?"
"Because it's a bomb!"
"Jeff, stop being silly." Jeff's mother signs for the package. "Jeff, it says it's for you again. See ya," The UPS man walks away. Jeff's mother walks away. Jeff opens the package SLOWLY. Inside is a letter. Jeff opens the letter.
"Wait, how is there a letter inside a package?" Edd asks.
"No return address!"
"What?" Edd asks.
"I said, No return address." Jeff looks at the letter. It reads:

Chapter 3 - Death at Noon
"What?!? that's impossible!" Edd said in a loud voice.
"Look," Jeff said.
"Wow, you're right," said Edd. "But the bottom of the words say 'The Movie'"
"Okay then, let's go to my house and look on the computer." Jeff said,
"What do you mean?" Edd responded.
"Let's see if it is a movie!" Jeff and Edd rush home. Jeff searches '3 hours to Domination'. Jeff scans the computer. "Aha!" Jeff says. Jeff clicks on a link that says '3 hours to Domination - The Movie'. "It says here that it's about a person who thinks the world is going to end, so he tries to blow it up."
"Phft," Edd starts laughing.
"Jeff, letter for you," Jeff's mother came down into the basement. Jeff grabs the letter and opens it. Jeff's mother walks away.
"What does it say?"
"It says, 'Death at noon. RUN!'"
"Let me see," Edd grabs the letter.
"Just a prank maybe?"
"Check the return address." Edd said. Jeff flips the letter over.
"Nope, doesn't say."
"Creepy, that's all I have to say!" Edd answered. "It's a prank."
"Check the return address."
Jeff flips the letter over. "Nope, it doesn't say."
"Creepy, that's all I have to say." Edd answered. "It's a prank."
"But I am going to DIE at noon!" Then they heard a knock on the door. Jeff runs upstairs and opens the door. Standing there was an UPS man dressed in pink.

Chapter 2 - Domination
Jeff sat up in his bed. "Just a dream. Better get ready for school."
After school..."I'm telling you, Edd. It was the strangest dream. I mean, it felt so real."
"Like the man dressed in pink?" Edd asked. Jeff suddenly fell to the floor. "Jeff are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tripped over a box...A BOX! Edd, this is the box in my dream!"
"Sure, Jeff," Edd said. "Let's open it."
"NO!" Jeff quickly responded. Jeff got up off of the floor. "It may be dangerous, Edd."
"Well, Jeff. That's too bad." Edd picked up he box and opened it. "See just a box of clothes. Boy, did that scare you!"
"Clothes?" Jeff said.
"Yeah, see for yourself" Edd gives the box to Jeff.
"You're right, Edd" Jeff said. "But look at this. One of the shirts says 3 hours to domination."

The Bomb Chapter 1

Grade 5, age 10
A long time ago, there was a man. This was an evil man. I would tell you why but the FBI wouldn't permit it. What's that, you won't tell...well, okay then.
Chapter 1 - The Box
Ding-dong. "Jeff, can you get the door?" Jeff's mother asked.
"No, I don't feel like it!" Jeff responded.
"Jeff?"
"Fine Mom, I will." Jeff ran downstairs and opened the door. "Sup?" Jeff said. Standing there was a tall man dressed in pink. "Why are you in pink?" Jeff asked.
"My family was in a terrible fire," the man paused. "The only clothes I had left were my sister's.
"Okay?" Jeff said in a weird voice.
"I have a box for you, Jeff" the man said.
"How do you know my name? Jeff said frantically.
"Here is the box, Jeff." Then the man ran away. Jeff opens the box inside is a bomb that says "3 hours to domination."

First Day of School
Our decision to send the kids to Bricks and mortar school was a year long process. I have homeschooled since Evan was 3 years old. At the time of him needing to go to preschool, things were very tight for us financially. I figured there had to be another way so I decided to school him at home. Every year we would pray and ask the Lord what He wanted us to do for that year. We have felt that we were supposed to keep the kids home.
Last year was a really hard year for me as the teacher. I felt overwhelmed and burned out. Evan was in 4th grade. Lydia was in 2nd grade. Joshua was in Kindergarten. I felt throughout the year that I was in a constant battle. Attitudes, fighting, disrespect. I realized partway through the year that I didn't like to homeschool any more. I had no joy in doing it. I started praying and asking the Lord what He wanted for this year.
I told the Lord that I would homeschool again because I want to do what He wants me to do. I also told Him that I would school with a happy heart if that's what He wants for our family. I never got the desire back. I still had no desire to do it after praying for a while. I took that as confirmation about the decision to send them to school.
Thus the decision was made to send Evan and Lydia to the local public school. Since that has happened, we have seen such great changes in the kids. Evan has risen to the occasion. He uses manners. He is respectful. Lydia loves being with other kids. She is such a social butterfly.
We decided to keep Joshua home this year. Originally, we wanted to keep the kids home until they had a good foundation, in faith and in education. Joshua has been doing great since our decision.
I have been doing even better. The atmosphere in the house is totally different. I love not being stressed. I love not having to be the referee anymore.
Walking to the bus stop.
The Lydia's. We had to wake up Lydia Anne to walk with us. She still looks sleepy.
Some of the neighborhood kids.
Getting on the bus.
Still getting on the bus. There are 13 kids who get on the bus at our stop.
Still, getting on the bus.
Lydia and Chloe (a neighbor girl).
School is done. Joshua couldn't wait for them to get home.
Welcome home Lydia!

I Got Some Good News and Bad News
Date: Sept 30th 2009
Event: Joshua lost his first tooth at 6 1/2 years old.
How it happened: We don't really know. Here's the story...Joshua was brushing his teeth after eating lunch when he called out, "Mom! Come here quick!" I went to him and he told me his tooth was missing. I asked him where it was and he said he didn't know. We scoured the house for his missing tooth but to no avail. We never did find it. (Yes, we did check his waste products too.)
He called his pappy and told him, "Pap, I got some good news and bad news. The good news is I lost my tooth. The bad news is I lost my tooth."
He then requested spaghetti for supper that night so he could suck a noodle through his hole.

Hersheypark Happy
This summer we practically spent the whole summer at Hersheypark. We decided in September of last year that we wanted to do something special for the kids. We don't really go on vacation. We might do a day trip every now and then but have never gone on a real vacation. We decided that we wanted to do something that we could do all summer. $600 later we were the proud owners of 5 Hersheypark season passes. We had so much fun. We would go once a week with the whole family and then just the kids and I would go an additional time during the week and spend the day there.
Evan's highlight was being able to ride the Stormrunner.
Lydia's highlight was swimming.
Joshua's highlight was ZooAmerica.
I have notice through this summer that I am getting old. There were rides that I can no longer go on because of feeling sick. I can't even watch the Carousel anymore!
Lydia & Joshua on the Howler. I couldn't even watch this ride without being sick.
Evan & Alan on the Storm Runner. Evan loved it!
Joshua is a Reese's
Lydia is a Hersheybar
Evan is a Twizzlers.
Lydia on the Scrambler.
The most boring ride - The Frog Hopper. (I like this one!)
Joshua's last year to ride kiddie rides. He liked the dino ride,
Joshua loved watching the animal demonstrations.
Of all the times we have been to Zoo America, the bears were always sleeping. We were amazed the one time we were there and the bear was awake! There was one bear who was sitting in the water. There was a bee who kept flying around his nose. He was really funny when he would bat the bee away. Joshua got a huge kick out of it.
