Addie and the Beanstalk


                Once upon a time, Addie was climbing on a beanstalk. She climbed and she climbed and she climbed. She climbed through the soft white clouds and when she reached the top of the beanstalk, she found cupcakes! Yummy cupcakes!
                “Yummy in my tummy cupcakes!” she exclaimed. She put a bunch of cupcakes in her Dora backpack and climbed back down the beanstalk. She invited all of her friends over to share the cupcakes at a tea party. Harlow, Scarlett, Haven, Phyllis, Elliott, Aunt Becky, Kali, and DC were all there. Everybody ate cupcakes and drank tea until it was time to go home.
                Addie, Haven, Elliott, Harlow, Scarlett, Phyllis, Kali, DJ, and Aunt Becky went home an d lived happily ever after.

When Emmy Fell Asleep in the Car


When Emmy Fell Asleep in the Car
2/28/12
By Addie
          “Will you please go out of the kitchen, Emmy. I need to open the oven to take out the Woody cookies,” Addie said.
          “Mmm! Those smell good!” Emmy said as she jumped out of the kitchen.
          When the cookies cooled, Addie and Emmy carefully placed four of them in a box for their friends Harlow and Scarlett.
          Soon it was time to go, so Daddy buckled Emmy in her car seat nice and tight for safety. As soon as he backed the car out of the driveway, Emmy was zonked out!
          BUMP!
          The ice had cracked the road, and Emmy bumped her head on the cookie box when Daddy hit the pot hole.
          “Beek! Beek! Beek!” Emmy cried.
          Daddy handed Emmy her blue Boo Boo Bunny and she held it against her noggin. Soon she felt much better, and just in time! They had arrived at Harlow and Scarlett’s house!
          Emmy skipped to the door and handed the cookies to her friends who were waiting with smiles.
          “Ooh! Thank you, Emmy! I can’t wait to have one!” her friends said.
          “Enjoy! See you later, alligators!”
          “After awhile, crocodile!” they waved back as Emmy hopped back to the car.
          Daddy buckled her in and said, “You should probably try to stay awake on the drive home, Emmy.”
          “Probably,” Emmy replied. And she did.

How Beeps the Bunny got her Heart Sweater


How Beeps the Bunny got her Heart Sweater
2/23/12
By Addie, Mommy, and Daddy
          Once upon a time, there was a skinny brown bunny named Beeps who shed her fur every season for a shiny new coat. One year during fall, Beeps shed her fur and before she could grow her new coat, it snowed one whole foot, covering the ground with a sparkly white freezing blanket.
          Beeps couldn’t’ get out of bed without her teeth chattering so much they sounded like a train. Clickety clack! Clickety clack! Her friends felt sad for her, so they talked to Lamby about his wool.
          “Baa baa Lamby, have you any wool?”
          “Yes, Emmy, yes, Speedy, three bags full. One for my Addie; one just to keep. One for my new friends to knit a sweater for Beeps!”
          Emmy, Speedy, and Honks worked really hard to knit with tiny knitting needs and made a beautiful sweater for Beeps.
          “Surprise!” they shouted as they burst into her room one morning, holding up the gift.
          “Oh thank you!” Beeps exclaimed as she pulled the cream colored sweater over her long ears.
          She was so overwhelmed with love and joy that her heart made an imprint on her sweater. From that day on, Beeps wore her sweater over her various coats because it kept her warm inside and out.

How Emmy Got Purple Whiskers


How Emmy Got Purple Whiskers
By Addie and Mommy Magee
February 19, 2012
                It all started one Saturday afternoon in January when Grandpa gave Emmy and her friends to Addie Lu. Shortly after Emmy’s move, Addie taught her how to play Ring Around the Roses. Emmy played and played this new game with her friends Fred, Beep, and Deep.
                One time, as “they all fell down,” Emmy saw a quilt of tiny deep purple berries. “Look!” Emmy exclaimed. “Berries! BLUE berries!”
                “Yum!”
                “My favorite!”
                “Oh la la!”
                The friends ran to the blueberry patch and ate and ate until they fell asleep with tummies full and faces covered with the small treats.
                They slept really well and when they woke up, they were purple! Emmy tried to wipe the purple off, and she scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed with Dora soap in the bath, but the purple wouldn’t come off of her nose and whiskers.
                To this day, Emmy’s nose and whiskers are as purple as a plum, and she still falls asleep eating blueberries in the patch.

Emmy and Friends Find Honks


Emmy and Friends Find Honks

        One spring day not so long ago, Emmy searched for her friend Honks. She looked in the dog kennels, but Honks wasn't there.





        She looked in Addie’s Dora backpack, but Honks wasn’t there either.
        Emmy checked under Addie’s Hungry Caterpillar bed, but still no Honks!
        Next, Emmy asked Speedy and Beeps to help look for Honks and they searched everywhere.
        “Where could he be?” asked Beeps.
        “I don’t know, but I’m getting worried,” Emmy replied.
        “I have an idea!” Speedy said and he raced toward the office.
        When Emmy, Speedy, and Beeps all met in the office, they looked in the back of the tricycle and voila! Honks!
        “Yay! We missed you Honks!” Speedy, Beeps, and Emmy shouted.
        “I missed you too!” said Honks. “I can’t wait to tell you all about my tricycle adventures," and they all headed off to Addie’s room to listen to the stories.

Emmy Eats Lunch


Emmy ate her lunch of fish sticks and mac and cheese and beans. After her lunch, Emmy played outside with Uncle Chris, Aunt Becky, Mike and Uncle Greg. They played hide and seek. Emmy hid really well down the stairs out back. At the end of the day, they took a bath and went to bed. Night night!
