Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day! So happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I would have said this yesterday, but I completely forgot about the blog. It was also Mom’s birthday. Okay not really. But Mom’s phone really thought it was. The day before Yesterday it kept saying it would be Mom’s birthday. Since the reminder was completely wrong, Mom deleted it. And Yesterday it came back! Mom’s phone was convinced Yesterday was her birthday. It was really weird.

Bee Slayer!
So the other day Christopher, Robert, and I noticed a swarm of bugs flying outside the studio window (we call the room in the back the studio, because that is where we practice). We realized the bugs were a bunch of bees, swarming around the palm tree.
Later that day when we went outside we found that the bee had quickly constructed a large hive in the palm tree. Since it was later in the day the bee were far less active, so Dad took the bee killer, sprayed the nest all over, and then ran inside. The bees were as mad as hornets (or maybe bees)! They flew around palm tree like crazy, attempting to find their tormentor, but to no avail.
By time we came back to see if any of the bees had survived the nest had already fallen off the palm tree. All that was left of that mighty bee army, was one solitary bee, who flew around the palm tree, looking for his lost city. A city he would never find, for it had been destroyed by my Father, the bee slayer.
A Cautionary Tale
A Cautionary Tale About Trying to Hard to be Fair
(In the style of Aesop’s Fables)
Once there were three distinguished gentlemen eating five evenly sized pastries. After each man had had one there were still two left. Not wishing to be rude, nor really wanting to exclude themselves from the treat, they decided to cut them all in half. After having once again eaten their fair share there still one half left. This they split in four equal pieces. Then the eighth that was left was divided in fourths, and so on, and so on, until there was only a molecule left. This they divided so that there was only an atom left. Which they split. Unfortunately the resulting atomic explosion killed them all.
Silverware
So today Veronica served Robert, Stephen, and I in her pretend restaurant. Since we were just in a pretend restaurant in Veronica’s room we obviously were not using normal dishes. We all had a shoe for our plate, and around them were bobby pins, and I foolishly mistook them for french fries. Apparently they were are silverware. The rest of the meal was quite delicious (or as good as an invisible meal can be) but I had to eat it without silverware.
Monday
Many of you know that today is the beginning of Daylight savings time. I know this because yesterday, Stephen’s phone told him that Daylight savings time begins all day today. What I bet you did not know, is that today is not Sunday, but actually Monday. After all if Daylight savings begins all day today, then at 12 the clock goes forward to 1 then it begins again, and 1 goes to 2 etc. etc. until it’s Monday. Dang, now we have to do school again.
Animal Show
Veronica put on an animal (stuffed animals) show today. There was a dinosaur that sword fought with its tail. A pink bear did gymnastics. There was a penguin that flew, and a duck that jumped at peoples faces. But the best act was a little pink mouse that ran around saying, “LITTLE PINK MOUSEY, LITTLE PINK MOUSEY, LITTLE PINK MOUSEY.” This act was clearly the best. After all the mouse was talking.
If Pigs Could Fly.
A short article titled “If Pigs Could Fly”.
If pigs could fly… SCIENTIST WOULD GO CRAZY, THEY WOULD START STUDYING THOSE PIGS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY GOT OF THE GROUND, I MEAN THEY MUST HAVE BIG WINGS SINCE BIRDS CAN FLY BECAUSE OF THEIR LIGHTER BONES, NOT TO MENTION THE PIG ARE JUST FAT IN GENERAL!
In short scientists would have a renewed interest in pigs and farmers would put roofs on their pigsties. There would also be a bigger bird poop problem. Always carry an umbrella.
Green Pool
So yesterday I put up a post about how we painted the pool deck, but if you remember I never showed a picture with the pool uncovered. That’s because currently our pool is rather… green. 
Yeah, you can’t even see a foot into it. 
We let it turn green because the algae bonds with a chemical in the pool which, when we clean out the algae, will come out with it. And that will be nice I’m sure, but I still don’t like not being able to tell if an alligator is in the pool or not.
Painting
Today Christopher, Robert, and I painted the pool deck. So, this post will obviously be a before and after post. This is what it looked like before. 
Previously Robert and I had sealed all the cracks in the pool deck, so the trails were visible all over the deck.
After we painted it however, (see I said “after”) you could hardly see the cracks.
Now it looks much better.
Three Musketeers
So we recently watched the 2011 Three Musketeers movie, and I realized the musketeers in that movie, weren’t just really good swordsman, but they also had superpowers. Porthos was super strong (I mean SUPER strong), capable of ripping chains out cement walls. d’Artagnan had super luck powers, allowing him to walk through bullet storms, and hordes of armed enemy men. Aramis was basically just cooler than everyone else (no really I think that was his power). And finally Athos had the power of being whiny and kinda annoying. The movie also stole lines from the Princess Bride. I feel like this is important for some reason.
