A Series of Unfortunate Events

I've started reading A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning at school. Now, I'm reading the second book, The Reptile Room. It's good and a little bit scary. It's about 3 orphans that used to have a mom and dad and a nice, big house, but they had to go and live with a guy named Count Olaf because their house burned down and their parents died in the fire. In the second book, it might be a little happier, expect that so far I'm on chapter five, and they've come to live with their father's cousin's husband. He studied reptiles and he named one that he'd found on a trip he'd gone somewhere in the world (he goes to different places in the world) "The Incredibly Deadly Viper." The viper got loose, and bit their little sister, Sunny. Violet and Klaus, Sunny's brother and sister, were very worried. But their Uncle Monty just burst out laughing and explained to them that it was perfectly harmless. He named the snake that because he was going to present it to the Herpetological Society and he wanted to trick them because they always make fun of his name, Montgomery Montgomery. He was supposed to get a new assistant, and when the assistant came, Uncle Monty had left a note when he went to the supermarket saying "Be extra nice to my new assistant!" The children found out that the new assistant was Count Olaf in disguise, and Count Olaf had been mean to them! So, while the children were doing their work in the reptile room, they thought of a plan to tell Uncle Monty that his assistant was really Count Olaf. But when Violet tried, Count Olaf held up his knife so it glistened like a lighthouse in the sun, and she already knew then, that it was a warning that if she told Uncle Monty that he was Count Olaf, he would hurt her brother right then. In pictures you can't usually see the author, Lemony Snicket's face. We don't know why. But they are good books!

You should all read this series. If you already have, read it again!

Birthday Party

Yesterday, Saturday August 30, I went over to my cousin's house for two of my cousin's birthday parties. I had a fun time! I had a hot dog, Lays, a little bit of potato salad, and 2 little servings of lemon jello. Yum, yum!! Then, I had a little bit of cake a little after. I had fun until sort of the end. I had a headache when we got there, but it was just a little, little one. At the end, it grew bigger, and I didn't feel good. So, I got some Tylenol, and my mom put an ice pack on my head. When we were driving in the truck home, I hiccuped, and I felt a little better. And before I had hiccuped, I had prayed to Heavenly Father to feel a little better. And then after, I thanked Him. I had fun.

School

My teacher is awesome! She makes us work hard, but we also have fun. I wanted her. I'm glad that I could be in her class. And I especially love it when we have time to read The Series of Unfortunate Event: The Bad Beginning with the tape. I love 4th grade!
