Table Tennis/Ping Pong

Well recently I have been playing tennis but after I got some Ping Pong balls I wanted to make some paddles so I took a tongue depressor and I taped it to a paper plate and did the same thing again and I taped them together and then i mad another one. So then I went and played withe my brother on are table. but I didn't like that they weren't that strong so I asked my grandpa to make some from wood so he did and we played with those for a while and then my grandma got some real paddles and I practiced with my grandpa, dad, and mom and then after a while my dad said I had the best forehand in the family. The difference from table tennis and ping pong is the extra bounce on your side of the table each point otherwise the rules are mostly the same.

Five Kingdoms book:3

Well some of my favorite parts are when they destroy the giant robot Roxie and get Constance the princess to safety. I also like when they get battle suits and when Cole goes to the meeting to get information from the bad guys.

The battle suits are really cool. You can jump twice as high and run twice as fast. There is also this stuff called freeze foam. When you spray it it freezes the person. Well there is this robot called Sidekick he is a good robot but he was the one who destroyed Roxie he was the bomb. But they had a copy so Cole wasn't to sad. Another part I like is when Cole finds out that the hunter is his brother. He couldn't remember him but he soon became friends. There are these bad troops called enforcers they have weird magic that can turn people into stone. But after they have to go help honor and another of Miracles sisters that is going to be in the fourth book but it doesn't come out until next year.

three types of tears

So there is a part of the eye called the iris.It cries all of the time. It cries around ten ounces per day, that is about 30 gallons of tears per year!! It has special glands. One of them is called the Lacrimal glands, they make new tears for the iris. She also has special tubes called Lacrimal puncta, they take out the old tears. So you know when you look at onion, well it smells pretty good right? Well when you take the first layer off a chemical reaction happens converting the suffoxides that make is smell so greatinto sulfenic acid which then becomes an awful substance with a very, very long name, syn-Propanethial s-oxide it stings your iris and it starts crying like crazy. And there is also emotional tears like if someone died that you loved or some one you love is going away.

Iris usually cries basal tears it is surrounded by a thin coating of three layers. That protect it from dirt a debris.

Mindstorms

So my brother got a Mindstorms for Christmas. He made EV3 and we tried to make him go from the dining room to the kitchen but there were to many bumps and he could not go over them.
But when we introduced him to Sophie are dog we made him try to shoot her so she was afraid of him and always ran away from him. After a while we took him apart and me and my dad made the R3PTAR. He could strike with his fangs, move backwards, move forwards, and he could rattle. When we introduced him to Sophie she remembered the EV3 and she was a little afraid but she sometimes went close by him. But we made him strike at her and she was Terrified! Then she always ran away from him because she knew what was coming. Then we made the TRACK3R we made him go close by her and she remembered all of the other robots and she always ran away.

We programmed the EV3 to count to ten and sing angels we have heard on high. We programmed the TRACK3R to go around the house, but we didn't program the R3PTAR. The R3PTAR is controlled using a touch senser, The EV3 is controlled by touching the buttons to go forward backwards and to shoot. The TRACK3R is cool you push up on the tracks on your i touch on all of them. You just need to know that I love MINDSTORMS!

Big snowstorm

There was a big snowstorm this week there is about 5 ft of snow out in my backyard. We shovel it and throw it in big mounds of snow and it grows to about 7 ft of snow!
We tried playing soccer in the snow but it was very deep and we could barely walk in it, the snow almost reached the cross bar of out soccer goal!
We sometimes went on top of the roof and shoveled it off. i went on the garage roof by putting the a sled on top of the big mounds of snow on the back of the garage and stood up on the sled and pulled myself on top of the roof! Me and my brother shoveled the garage roof. (It was fun jumping off the roofs). Me and my dad threw my dog (Sophie) her tennis ball in the big mound of snow and she did a running jump and got the tennis ball. My grandpa went with his snow-blower and helped put it on top of the big mounds.
Most of the day though we stay inside by the warm fire and learn:)
