Rusty here,

At my school every year there is a Valentine’s Day Dance. It’s for the freshman and sophomores to go to, the older kids go to a different dance. They even vote who will be king and queen. Valentine’s Day is on Saturday. That means I only have a week to get ready! I have no idea what to wear. I haven’t even asked anyone to go with me. Copper is taking Sliver I so I don’t think we can go as a group this time. I think I will ask a girl named Ruby from one of my classes if she will be my date. Ruby and I have a lot in common, we both like to make paper air planes in class and throw them at each other. It’s pretty fun until we get into trouble. I hope she will go with me. I can’t wait until Saturday it sounds like it’s going to be really fun. I will tell you all about it next week!

Until Next time, Rusty

Even being in Minnesota it almost feels like spring outside. Even though it’s not even February! My classmates were being funny today after school and had their sun-roofs open and their windows down; and most of them were in t-shirts.  It’s only 40 degrees outside! Being a Minnesotan though; that’s pretty normal. Compared to -20 degree weather, it’s pretty warm outside. I’m sure if it was 40 degrees in Florida they would have on their winter jackets and lots of warm clothes. Everybody is ready for winter to be over, it has been pretty long and boring. This year we didn’t have very much snow so there wasn’t much to do. Copper and I were in study hall today daydreaming about how nice it was last summer sitting in the pool with all of our friends and not having to trip over big sneakers at school. (Dragon feet are pretty big) We already have plans for which lakes we are going to go boating on and what we are going to do for the 4th of July. I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves though. Summer is 5 months away! We better stop while we are ahead and  try to enjoy the rest of the winter!

Until Next Time,

Finally, the snow is falling and the sun is shinning. I hope it snows ten feet today; the weatherman said only a few inches, but I hope he’s wrong! There hasn’t been much snow at all this year. I haven’t gotten to go sledding, snowmobiling, or even build a snow dragon yet. (Take a peek at the website to see some snow dragons) That’s why I hope it snows a lot today. Some people really hate the snow and I don’t really know why. Its fun to play in and it’s pretty. Being in Minnesota it’s a little weird to not have snow during the holiday break, that’s why I’m glad that its snowing now. Instead of playing in the snow Copper and I have been playing hockey and ice skating. It hasn’t been much fun and its getting pretty boring. Copper and Silver already made plans to go sledding tomorrow down the big hill that’s in the park. Linda and Elmer told me to be very careful on that hill and to make sure to dress very warm! I cant wait to go sledding its been a whole year since the last time I’ve went! I hope that the snow keeps-a-fallin!

Until Next Time,

Rusty here,

It’s my first year in high-school as you all know, now that the holiday break is over its time for finals. I didn’t know high-school could be so stressful. I have to turn everything in by this Friday and better yet I have tests in every class on Friday too! I don’t know which class to study for first! Algebra, English, science, geography; I don’t know where to start. It’s a good thing I have most of my stuff turned in, unlike Copper. He goofed around all semester and now he has a week to turn everything in and to study for tests. I haven’t seen him in a few days he has been in the library working his butt off! I’m glad I’m not in his shoes (even though dragons don’t where any). I can’t wait for this week to be over. I think my new year’s resolution should have been to pay attention more in school instead of finishing all of the levels on my video game that I got for Christmas. I think I better change that, I hope it’s not too late!

Until next time,

Rusty

Rusty here,

I know it’s not the best holiday break this year, because usually there is snow on the ground. I haven’t even gotten to build a snowman yet. It didn’t feel like Christmas last week, there wasn’t any snow! I haven’t seen a Christmas without any and it just feels wrong that there isn’t! Santa Claus did bring me the presents I wanted though. I got a new pair of shoes and the video game I wanted. He always knows just what to get me. I tried waiting up on Christmas Eve to see him but I always fall asleep! Christmas was a blast my whole family comes to our house to celebrate. We always eat too much food and end up playing games. Now that Christmas is over I get to spend a lot of time hanging out with Copper and Silver they can’t wait for the new year, we are all staying up to do the count down. I just can’t believe it’s already going to be 2015! Time can literally fly faster than I can! I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Until next time, Rusty

Rusty here,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I know I did! I’m pretty sure that Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. So much food and seeing my family is always the best. I think I had at least ten servings of food, boy was it good. I think I gained at least one hundred pounds! Linda always makes the best turkey and mashed potatoes. Just thinking of all that food makes me hungry again! After the Thanksgiving meal we all sat around and enjoyed each other’s company; playing board games and just relaxing. The next day was hectic though, Copper talked me into going Black-Friday shopping with him. He had big plans to get the newest PlayStation game. We stood in line for hours just trying to get into the store. Everyone pushed and shoved to get there way in. It was my first year going to this. I think I had made the mistake of going , everyone was so crazy. I saw this one lady jump into a pile of DVDs just to get the ones she wanted. I did end up getting a new pair of headphones and a couple other things, but I don’t think that kind of shopping was for me. After all the confusion Copper and I agreed never to go again. Thanksgiving should never be that crazy. Next year we will just do Cyber Monday instead!

Until next time,

 My friends at school always talk about deer hunting and what kind of deer they always get. I have never gone hunting I haven’t really been a fan of it. This year I decided I would go with Copper. He goes hunting every year; it’s like a holiday to him. He has a nice deer stand and usually always gets a deer. On opening morning he woke me up before the sun was even up! I couldn’t believe how early he goes out. We got into his deer stand. We just sat there and looked around; I really didn’t have the patience for it I guess. I kept moving around and he kept telling me to be quiet. I was very bored and we hadn’t even been out there long! So I just sat there and made funny faces at him. Hunting really wasn’t for me. Hours past and we hadn’t seen anything. At noon we decided to go up to the house because neither of us could feel our toes, it was pretty cold outside. In the house Linda has made us hot coco and it was really good. That night I decided just to stay home because I really didn’t like hunting. Right before it got dark I heard a lot of shooting. So I flew down to the stand and sure enough Copper had got himself a nice buck! Now I’m wishing I had gone with. Next year I’ll know better to be patient, because being patient really pays off.

 Until next time, Rusty

Hello,

My name is Sarah and I’m the author of this story and this year deer hunting I was lucky enough to get a few deer out of the deer stand that I built by my self.

Thanks to everyone that reads my stories

Rusty here,

I went trick-or-treating on Friday night and had a blast. I was dressed up as a ghost and Copper was dressed up as a mummy, we were pretty scary. The best part was when houses didn’t have any candy; Copper and I would play tricks. One time we scared this lady with fake spiders because she didn’t have any candy when all the kids came to her house. Another time we went up in a tree and pretended like we were real.  It was a great night. I got a lot of candy. I think it might have been almost 5 pounds! The next morning I learned my lesson though there were a million candy wrappers in my bed room, and I did not feel good. I ate all my candy when I got home from trick-or-treating. I had the worst stomach ache anyone could think of and it kept getting worse and worse. I drank water and I slept all day but it didn’t seem to get better. I called Copper and he was feeling the same way and I was. We definitely ate way too much candy. When we got to feeling better the next day we swore to each other we would never eat so much candy again. At least until next year!

Until next time,

Rusty

My week is going good. Even though we lost our homecoming game I still had a really good time. The girl I was talking about last week’s name is Golda. She is named after her color; gold, she is very pretty. I’m glad I got to go to the dance with her. We had a lot of fun, we danced and sang all night. Even Linda and Elmer were wondering where I was all night. The next day Copper, Silver, Golda and I all went flying together. We talked about how the game went even though we lost we will have better luck next year.  We all had a really good time together Copper and Silver are glad to have a new friend. Especially Silver. Silver and Golda have become best-friends, they have sleepovers and paint each other’s toe nails. I invited her trick- or-treating with Silver, Copper and I in a few weeks on Halloween. I’m not sure what I’m going to dress up as. Maybe I could be a ghost? But then again maybe a zombie; I’m not quite sure yet. It’s a few weeks away but I’m still very excited. even though Golda hasn’t been my friend as long as Copper and Silver have been it feels like I have known her for along time. I think its a good thing to always make new friends and always have new people in your life.

Until next time Rusty
