Happy Halloween!

In class, we are writing one of my teacher's, Mrs. Yollis, famous three sentence stories for Halloween! I have a book of Halloween stories right here:

Vincent the Vampire

Vincent the Vampire was flying to Wanda the Witch's house. When he got there, the mansion was filled with poison that made Vincent cough, choke, and he felt like he was going to die! Right when he was going to faint, Vincent remembered that he had a wand, and used it to cast a mask that provided fresh air for Vincent.

Zamba the Zombie

One spooky Halloween night, when all the children were trick-or-treating, Zamba decided to come out of her tombstone. Just remembered that she had a party, one child dared to come to the graveyard. Zamba and all of the other zombies were afraid of children so Zamba popped out of her tombstone and scared the child away!

George the Ghost

One day in October, George the Ghost wandered into the forest and started cursing the trees. Suddenly, an invisible werewolf started to throw harmful poisons at George! He didn't know what to do when he broke through one of the potions and reflected another with one of his ghostly fists.

Shelly the Skeleton

Shelly the Skeleton was practicing archery when she heard a wave of blood was coming her way. She tried as hard as she can to shoot some shield arrows to block the blood, but the blood was coming way too fast for Shelly. Shelly backed up and tripped on a tombstone and out of nowhere, she quickly dug a hole in the dirt and buried herself undergrowth until the blood finished flowing.

Georgia the Ghoul 

One day, Georgia the Ghoul was inside the ice cream store that was not so popular. A kid came in and asked for a pumpkin flavored ice cream, but at that time, Georgia was sucking on some strawberry flavored ice cream with some blood syrup on top. The kid saw, and when the kid came up to ask her, she just said that it was cherry flavored syrup.

Jamba the Jack-O-Lantern

The day before Halloween, Jamba the Jack-O-Lantern grew to an adult in her pumpkin patch. The farmer saw, and yanked Jamba off of her vine and gave it to a child, but the child kicked, rolled, bit, and spit on poor Jamba. Jamba knew she had to speak up so she did all of those cruel actions to the child and that is when the child learned to never mess with a pumpkin.

Max the Mummy

Max the Mummy was happily sleeping in his cage when he heard a BOOM! Max woke up immediately and slipped out of his cage to see what was happening! He looked out of his house's window and saw a ender dragon forming in Max's backyard and before the ender dragon even had a chance to form, Max used a roll of toilet paper and wrapped up the former of the ender dragon.

Doomster the Devil

One freaky Halloween, Doomster the Devil was bored so he came from house to house, scouting for candy and trying to scare some people to death. When he came to the two hundred fifty-fifth house, the owner of the house was a devil too. Doomster knew that that one devil wouldn't be afraid of another devil, so Doomster hasty changed into a witch to scare the devil.

Willa the Witch

On every Halloween, Willa the Witch was extra greedy. One hair-raising Halloween night, Vincent the Vampire crept up on Willa and nearly scared her to death. Willa used her broomstick to swoop over and under Vincent, knocked him over, and that's what taught Vincent to never scare others when they have a power that you don't.

Sonny the Scarecrow

Sonny the Scarecrow was fiercely guarding the farm from crows when crows started to rain heavily from the sky. At the end of the crow-storm, Sonny was all covered up in crows. Sonny used a piece of hay from his hand and tickled the crows and one by one every crow flew away.

The Horrifying Halloween

One super spooky Halloween, Sonny the Scarecrow, Willa the Witch, Doomster the Devil, Max the Mummy, Jamba the Jack-O-Lantern, Georgia the Ghoul, Shelly the Skeleton, George the Ghost, Zamba the Zombie, and Vincent the Vampire gathered up in all one haunted house. They talked and talked, but the more they chatted, the less spooky the house became. Doomster quietly flew up the stairs and shouted "LOWER YOUR VOICE!" and all of the Halloween characters slowly lowered their voice until the house became haunted again.

*The End!*

Can you make up a famous three sentence story?

The first sentence shows the settings (maybe the problem). The second sentence has to have a problem. The last sentence has a solution to the problem.

Spooky Scene!

In class, we were decorating our classroom with Halloween decorations. When I first walked into the classroom, I saw two enormous spiders hanging down from the roof!

If so, what are they?

My Story for Sleep Tight, Angus!

I have a story that I wanted to share on Mrs. Yollis' 365 blog, but unfortunately, my story was too long. Luckily, I have a blog. Here is Angus all tucked up ready to dream about something phenomenal:

Here is my story that was too long for my comment:

Dear Julia, Angus, and Mrs. Yollis,

I have a story that I made up. When Angus fell asleep...

He saw bones everywhere! "Where am I?" Angus asked. He looked up in the sky and there was the ruler of the island! "You are in Bonny Land," replied Cooper the Ruler of the Land, "Follow me. I am going to lead you to the palace of bones." Thought he was in trouble! "W-what pal-lace?" Angus said. Cooper said nothing, and walked through the clouds and Angus followed. When Angus saw the palace, he was no longer scared! He froze. He was also speechless. After a few moments, Angus said, "Wow! I must be in heaven!" Angus burst into the palace and shouted, "I'm Angus!" No one replied. "Hello?" Angus tried again and again until he gave up. Right when he wanted to walk out the door, a servant came out with a bowl of bone-shaped dog treats. "Welcome to Big Bone Palace. Is there something I can help you with?" Angus didn't know what to say. "Ummm... I guess. Can you give me a tour around the palace?" "Yes," the servant replied, "First of all, I am the head of all of the servants. My name is Rocky. I am known for giving out treats. Would you lik-" Angus interrupted, "Yes, I would love a treat! Actually, would you be kind enough for five treats?" Angus was a little greedy. "Of course," Rocky said politely, "Have as many as you want."

After Angus was finished with his delightful treat, he yawned. "I'm tired. Would you excuse me for a nap?" Angus complained. Angus could tell that Rocky was getting kind of impatient.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Rocky yelled. Angus was confused. "Where am I?" he asked. "Remember? You are in one of the royal rooms of Big Bone Palace!" Now Rocky was really getting impatient. "Is it time for my tour around the palace?" whined Angus. "Yes," Rocky said in a grumpy voice, "We are going to meet the Queen Edoggybeth and King Georgedog" That suddenly put Rocky in a fabulous mood! When they got to the room, they weren't there! They were so astonished! "But... I called them," Rocky cried. What Rocky didn't tell Angus is that they didn't answer. "They must be in trouble!" Angus worried. They thought for a moment and then Rocky suggested, "Let's ask Cooper!" They rapidly ran on four legs and they almost trampled each other trying to get out the door! Rocky and Angus finally made it out the door with two big holes in the door. They had broken the door! "We don't have time to fix the door now. We'll do that when Queen Edoggybeth and King Gorgedog return," Angus said, but Rocky didn't seem too worried ether. "Cooper ! Cooper !" Angus and Rocky shouted together. "What can I help you with?" Cooper exclaimed. "Queen Edoggybeth and King Georgedog are missing!" Angus said sadly. "We have to help them! They may be in big trouble!" Rocky shouted very sadly. Cooper's mouth dropped about five feet long. "Are you kidding me? I thought they were safely in the palace! I honestly do not know what happened to them. Are you sure that they are missing?" Cooper said out loud. Angus and Rocky said together, "We are absolutely sure! This is not a joke. This is serious."

They scouted the jungle and found a place called Country Jail. "Why would they be in there? They didn't do any thing wrong. Plus, they are the Queen and King!" Rocky explained. "Let's check anyways. It's better to be safe than sorry!" Cooper said back. When the three checked, they weren't there. "Look! Footprints! They must be from Queen Edoggybeth and King Georgedog!" Angus said excited. All three of the dogs followed the footprints and guess what is leaded to? The LIBRARY! "How could they be in the library?" all three dogs asked their selfs. They searched anyways. "Nope, not here." thought the dogs. "Do you think Queen Edoggybeth and King Georgedog are in a obvious place, but we just haven't noticed?" asked Rocky. "That's possible," said Cooper, "What are the possible places can you think of?" They thought for a long time, but finally, they thought of these places: Behind Big Bone Palace, to the east of Big Bone Palace, to the west of Big Bone Palace, in another room in the palace, and the doggy park they always go to. "Why don't we just go home for now and check the rooms in our palace?" explained Rocky. "Sure," Cooper and Angus agreed. Angus and Rocky rode Cooper's back and went back to Big Bone Palace. When they were finally there, they looked at tthe obvious places that they thought of starting from the rooms. Queen Edoggybeth and King Georgedog were not anywhere near the palace, so they went to the doggy park. They weren't there ether. They were about to give up for the day, when they heard a call. "Help" it cried. They sounded exactly like Queen Edoggybeth and King Georgedog. "We will help!" Angus called back, "Just tell us where you are!" The cry came back. "We are in your school!" barked the dog. We dashed into the school and made a call. "Queen Edoggybeth and King Georgedog, please come to the Principal Doggyjone's office. Thank you," Cooper said on the speakers. They came, and Rocky told them their story. King Georgedog told their story and all of them laughed all the way back to the palace.

All of a sudden, Angus woke up!

Woof woof,

Heather

Learn More About Me, Rocky

Hi! I am Rocky who is a three and a half years old dog and loves to play fetch. Blake is my middle name. My breed is a golden retriever mixed with a chow. That's why I have purple blotches on my tongue and short legs. I am a friendly dog that absolutely does not like water. My wish is for swimming pools to

As you know, all I can think of is fetching a nice green tennis ball. After a while, I do get a little tired so I rest on soft, green grass. When I do that, my ball is always covered with slobber. I usually play fetch outside in the front lawn because in the backyard, we have a pool. When I play fetch in the backyard, 

the ball is very likely to drop into the pool. I never go and try to get my ball back because I do NOT like water!

I love being in the backyard under a table because it is always shady there and is nice and cool. That's why you see a fancy shadow to left.

If you have a dog, does it have lots of energy or does it just sleep all day?

From the Jelly Belly Factory to Napa Valley

Now we were at Napa Valley, but before that, we visited the Jelly Belly Factory. For ones who don't know  what is Jelly Belly is, it is a really nice jellybean company, but some look alike but taste really different.

Behind this welcome sign, those are all grape trees. You do not see any grapes because it is not the right time to harvest them. If you come up close to them you will see many green, not ready to harvest grapes. September and October are the right times to harvest grapes.

Here is how it looked like when we saw them:

The best looking winery to me was the Castello Di Amorosa Winery. It looked like a castle and it even had a fake doorway that you use a strong chain to pull up!

That winery was the best looking winery. The best winery tour is the tour at the winery called the Robert Mondavi winery. I don't have a picture of the real life place, but I searched up the logo for the winery.

One winery that is the prettiest is the winery called the Jacuzzi Family Vineyard. What I thought was pretty about this Vineyard is that there was a lavender (flower) patch!

We went to lots of wineries and vineyards until it was time to leave. It would take about six hours (not with breaks) to get home.

Have you ever visited Napa Valley?

If so, have you ever gone to one of the wineries that I gone to?

If you haven't, which winery do you think you would like to go to?

My Trip to the Jelly Belly Factory!

Now we were at the Jelly Belly factory and there are some jellybeans that I have to introduce to you. Some taste really different but look the same. Those are the bad ones. Some are Juicy Pear and Booger and Buttered Popcorn, Moldy Cheese, and even Licorice and Skunk Spray! The worst one that I think is really disgusting is CENTIPEDE! The flavor that taste like Centipede is Strawberry Jam. There were also some recipes and the recipe will tell you the name and show you how it looks like and you will find them and put them in your mouth and taste them! I think the recipe idea is real neat. Don't you?

Here are pictures made out of little tiny jellybeans! Who knew that you could make art out of jellybeans? The one to the left is Ronald Reagan, one of the jellybean lovers!

There were tours and you get a paper hat. Sadly, we went on a day when they were not working so we did not see them make jellybeans. Now we began our tour:

First, we saw lots of bags of sugar and corn corn starch. It also included corn syrup. There are other ingredients, but those are the main ones. 

Second, our tour guide showed us some movies like how to make a jellybean and all of the machines that you use to make jellybeans sugar! Some are called belly flops because they are not in the right shape.

Then our tour guide gave us free samples for each step of a jellybean, like when it was not polished. It was very bumpy. That's because it is covered with sugar. It tasted the same though. 

Next, we watched some videos about polishing the jellybean and our tour guide gave us a polished jellybean that was all finished. 

Finally, our tour guide gave each person a bag of jellybeans and that was the end of our tour.

Clearly, making a jellybean  does take time!



After our tour, we went to the shop. I brought a sour pack of jellybeans and my brother brought a mini pack of jellybeans. His had some disgusting ones. Before we checked out, we went to eat some samples. There is a kiwi one that they said is really hard to make, but taste exactly like kiwi. I got some samples of that. I also got samples of tutti-frutti and a bubble gum.

It was not long after we came. There were menus and there were actually menus of different languages! Some of the languages were English, Chinese, Arabic, Dutch, Spanish, and more. Inside the menus were information about jellybeans. The information was mostly about how they look like and what are the names. There is also recipes and in each menu. Some are different kinds and some are the same.

We left the Jelly Belly Factory and now we were going to leave to Napa Valley now!

Have you ever visited the Jelly Belly Factory?

If so, did you go on a tour when they were actually making jelly beans?

If you haven't, have you ever heard of the Jelly Belly Factory?
