May Snow Day: a stop motion short film

Another short stop-motion film.  The last time we went to this park to sled, the sledding hill was closed.  This time, despite the fact that it was May and in the mid-70's, we got our sledding in!  We had to slather on the sunscreen first...

Chevy the Parakeet: Fashion Guru

One time Chevy decided to give out fashion advice. He kept on giving out advice like" That dress looks better it looks tasty." and " I ate a dress that looked quite like that, it was exquisite."

Well Bonnie got jealous and asked if she could work for him. On Fridays, she would work the desk. Bonnie gave advice like, "Honey first you start out by getting a BRAIN then you pick out a GOOD dress."

Their company got sued when Bonnie said ,"You look like a worm that got shriveled up from the sun and got ran over by a truck." to a customer .

Yet ANOTHER Bonnie-Chevy Story (Written by J: Illustration by A)

     One day Chevy was tired of eating seeds. I overheard him saying that he was thinking of hiring a lawyer to sue me, and he actually tried that one time; but we got home before he could dial "Judge Judy's" number. I told Chevy that if he tried that again that I would  take all of his seeds away. That's when Bonnie wriggled in. She said that she was really leaning toward punching us both in the stomach. That got Chevy to stop.

Frank Man and the Man-Eating Sofa Cushion of Doom (Fiction by J)

As the sofa cushion approached me, a vicious grin swept its face, taking control. It drooled like a dog in front of "Joe's sSuper Crunchy Bacon Bitz." Just as it charged forward, ready to devour me, Frank Man charged forward heroically! 

Then he stopped suddenly and faced me: "Do you have any flour? " He said.

“Just go straight forward and take the last left,” I instructed.

“Thanks,” he called back to me.

“By the way,” he said, coming back with two large-sized bags of flour. “Do you mind if I charge my I-pod?”

“Sure,” I grumbled quietly.

“Thanks!” he said, and disappeared into the kitchen.

Then the sofa cushion took one look at me and gulped me down in two bites.

THE END.

Perhaps You'll See Me There: An Inside Scoop On the Wildlife at Cedar Bog (By: A)

     Yesterday. It was a bright, cheerful, and warm day outside. A, J, M, and D went to Cedar Bog. All the animals seemed to be coming out to visit us. We ended up spotting about five snakes,

a big toad, a skink, and a mouse. We also happen to come across a rotting carcass of some sort of animal. (We think it is a raccoon.)

   The birds and frogs didn't cease to make noise, almost the whole time we were there. The spring peepers and cardinals were the sounds we recognized.

   Our family did some photography of the trip. I, (A) took video; M, D, and J took turns taking photos. ( I think they did a great job, by the way.)

  We tried to keep quiet with our footsteps, hoping to spot more animals. But we only sighted one more creature, after which we decided to be quiet.

    M brought a sketchbook, she made a sketch of the water. I haven't seen it yet, but I know it is a great piece.

The stream that runs through the park makes it so beautiful. It has such clear, crisp water.

The water is so clear, you can see the details on the bottom of the water, as if there was no stream there at all.

   Over all, the land was pretty wet. It was muddy in most areas of the park. The snakes, I'm sure, liked that. (That, I'm sorry to say, is probably why they came out of hiding. Not us.)

   As I have previously mentioned, there are many animals that we saw; but we also saw various types of interesting plants. There were lots of marsh marigolds, skunk cabbages, snow trilliums, poison sumac,

and poison sumac... It could go on and on.

   Think it's about time to visit Cedar Bog, yet....? Well, you should. Perhaps you'll see me there.

                   The Biscuit That Saved The Day 

(By: J)

     One day as we were coming back from the Museum of Biological Diversity, we stopped at Popeye's because we were craving hot, greasy chicken. After Dad got through ordering the hot, greasy chicken meal, he realized that he had ordered biscuits (which my mother can't have because she has an intolerance to gluten).

After we were finished with our meal, we all (except for Mom) started scarfing down our biscuits drowning them in butter and honey. Mom was drawn to the biscuits and she ate one. Her stomach didn't hurt. The biscuit had healed her!
