Eli Thinking... The Voice Behind the Door...

It's Story Time Eli...
Write me a scary story with a happy ending
based on the picture below. Go, CREATE!

The Voice Behind The Door

"Mom, do we have to?""Yes Phoenix."
I did not want to spend my summer with grandma.
"But, it is HORRIBLE mom!
No TV, phone, radio, gaming systems, or anything."
Plus, my stupid, annoying, monster-fraid,
brother Mom says he gets it from me, but that's
wrong, WAY wrong Phoenix J. Phillips is not
afraid of monsters!) would be
there which would guarantee a few black eyes.
"Boys, get your bags, you're leaving in
10 minutes." Mom told me I'm going to have
a great time, but I think I might die of being
bored. "Bye, love you!" Then we pulled away
from the driveway to the worst summer ever
in grandma's '90 accord.

After 24 hours of driving and 3 fist
fights over who's afraid of monsters, we got there,
to grandma's stinky old house at 9:00 pm.
"Welcome" grandpa said when
we walked in. "This will be your room,"
He said to me, I think that grandpa separated
us on purpose. "Lay your stuff down and
go to sleep." "But it's...", he shut the door,
"only 5:00." I laid my stuff down and then
noticed a smalldoor at the side of the room and
somehow went to sleep.
A cold breeze woke me, a strange noise with it.
Suddenly, a hand griped my arm, pulling at it.
I struck it. It let go and went through the small
door. I heard the little door latch shut but I
didn't sleep for the rest of the night. All I
did is sit on the side of the bed with a baseball
bat in my hand. Before the night was over,
it...the THING, attacked 10 more times and I was
sure that this house was haunted by monsters.

"Did you sleep good?" grandma asked, in the
morning as me and my brother walked
into the kitchen" "Yes" I lied.

12 hours later...

It had been another boring day at grandma's
house however the nights were anything but.
Right before bed, my brother decided to wear
his stupid Transformers PJ's. As I walked toward
my bed, I dropped my PSP, and as I bent down
to get it, I felt that same cold breeze and
voice saying, "You hurt me, now I'll hurt you."
It jumped out from behind the door and
attacked BUT this time it wouldn't get away.
I had set a trap for whatever it was so when
it tried to get me, the trap would spring and
catch it and I'd spray it with goo I found in
grandma's fridge with the label "Veggie Pudding"
whatever that is. It is lumpy, sticky and smells
really bad. When it attacked, I was ready, the
trap sprung and I started spraying, but after I
sprayed it in the face it yelled. It was
my brother. Why did I forget? How could I?
He sleepwalks. The door must lead to his room.
He was dazed. "What happened?" he asked.
I said, "Let's get you some more jammas and get
you back to bed." We woke up the next morning
and all was back to normal. The rest of the
summer was a huge bored-out-of-your-pants-summer
full of reading and drawing. The only thing sort
of exciting that kept turning up was grandma's
green goo that I used to get my brother,
the veggie pudding. Ugh, that stuff tastes bad....

THE END!

Nana, your house does NOT smell bad
and is NOT boring
This story is made up!
TOTALLY!
Nothing is from real life!
NADA(Spainish)
ZIP(American, I think)
NILL(German)
So, please take no offense from this story and

Isaac YOU ROCK!!!!!!! (9 1/2% of the time).

Apples Rock

apples...

They ROCK! Thats right, they do.

Not only our they good for you but they are great at getting your teeth out! OF the 6 I have lost half of them have come out because of me biting into apples!(The rest I either lost to milk duds or mom pulling them out)

Apples also taste good and can be used as planets in your fruit star system!( I saw that on a show when I was about 4, OK.)

Apollo 11 40th Anniversery

Yesterday, I was listening to the news and
this is what I heard:

Today, 40 years ago, We landed on the moon
and today The International Space Station reports
that their toilet is clogged.

I think it is FUNNY but I also think that's weird.
I mean, NASA is full of smart people engineers
and rocket scientist and they can't figure out
how to make sure the toilet doesn't get clogged.




Happy 40th anniversary Apollo 11 and I hope you can
hold it in up there ISS
maybe next time you guys should take a plunger!

Eli Thinking - Invisibooboo

My brother, "Wah, my invisibooboo
hurts so bad.

I need to go to the hospital."



You don't know what an invisabooboo is?
What, WHAT? I can't believe YOU,
not knowing what it is!(sigh)
Okay, I'll tell you...It is the place
you needlesly put a band-aid on your kid even
though there is nothing there.
It works for a 4 year-old baby brother.
Does it work for a 10 year-old? UH,no.

Eli Thinking...

As you may already know,
I have this suh-weeeeet summer intern for my blog.
We TOTALLY practice nepotism here at The Beautiful Mess so,
the internship and all the perks that the position has to offer
belong to my firstborn...my suPAfly guy...Eli.

He and I are gonna work on our journaling skills this summer
at least every couple of days you can look for a post from him.

Today's Prompt
If you could travel in a time machine and go any distance into the
past or future, where would you decide to go.Why?

I would proboly go to my past to re-do the
field trips and projects that I loved.
These are a few of them:

Corydon(That trip is my next blog post).
Junior Achevment BizTown(Where kids run a
city for 3 hrs). KidTown (Almost the same as
BizTown put with more help from the teachers).
My trip to Brown County
where we studied 2 different artists
TC Steele and Ansel Adams(Remember
how I took those pictures that made it
into Gallery One36 in Westfield?
Brown County is where I took those photos).

Those were fun, and I could start my life over
knowing all I know now... I could totally win
BIG $ betting on sports. AND no, I did not
steal that from Back To the Future 2. :)

My Blog's Summer Intern....

So...I have this suh-weeeeet summer intern for my blog.
We TOTALLY practice nepotism here at The Beautiful Mess so,
the internship and all the perks that the position has to offer
belong to my firstborn...my suPAfly guy...Eli.

He and I are gonna work on our journaling skills this summer
and since school has already been out for two WHOLE days,
we premier our guest post segment titled, "Thinking".

SO Eli...could you please let our readers know what you
think about the our having a mostly TV-less house this summer?

Well, mom..I don't think its fair, really
with Isaac stocking me all the time I don't
get to watch T.V. or at least something
besides Ni-hao Kai-lan or Calliou all the time.

Uhm...it's stalking Mr. Spellbowl and WHATEVER, Eli.
(I was in MATHbowl, mom, not spellbowl)
Like we don't ALL endure episode upon episode of
Myth Busters and Star Wars: The Clone Wars all the time.
So, ANYWAYS, the question is not what you think of the
fairness of living in no TV-land or whether you'd like it BUT
how you think the summer might go
without the BOOB tube being on 24/7.
Like, I dunno,what are you gonna fill your time with?
What kind of things might we do instead?
Think of it like TV & computers didn't exist.
Then what would we do ALL summer long?
While I'm at it... What would your dream summer
WITHOUT technology look like?
Wait...I know, I KNOW! You'd read the whole summer
and I'd get to pick the books, right? (yeah, right)

Seriously...this is your post. I'm so NOT
gonna write your blog posts for you AND,
since I've written like 3 paragraphs...do
a big, old, brain-dump on the pre-selected
topic and see if you can beat my rambling.

I would fill my time playing with our
toys, you know, zoobs, playmobile, that
kind of stuff. If it was total
technology-less, I would have a summer
playing games and taking bike rides with you guys
But, the best thing would be if I could build
a machine that could take care or Issac
or something that could do my summer packet
which is like 6 gazillion pages long.
Ahhhhh, it would be a miracle!
I can already hear the angles singing...
But, no TV is gonna make Isaac more bored while
I'm doing something without him like
chores, taking out the dog, ect...
and he'll wreck everything.
So, I think it has some up sides and down sides.
