There were thousands of bees in my back yard. It lasted about 20 minutes and they were gone, or so I thought. I went out and took a look at the tree they were swarming around. Now there are a couple of bees flying around a huge clump of bees (about 18 inches in diameter), hanging on to the under side of the tree branch.

Buzzzzzzzzz!
The other day my neighbor said she saw a large swarm of bees flying over her backyard, I didn't think much of it at the time but, while doing some yard work today, I heard this buzzing noise. I look up and see this:

Soccer At School!
Mommy and Daddy signed me up for a soccer class at my school. It's once a week on Friday's and I have a great time!
Sometimes Daddy shows up early to watch me practice, I do like soccer, but Daddy can be very distracting.
This was from my practice last week. This is right after a running drill where me and another classmate ran into each other - Head-to-head. We both went down, and had pretty big lumps on our heads, but I must really have a hard head, because he had to go sit down for a while. So, for those new to soccer, always look in the direction you are running or have a really hard head!

Well, I put it off for long enough...
Not only writing some blogs, but going to the dentist too...
Mommy & Daddy made me go to the dentist for the first time today. Everyone kept telling me it would be fun, but when your my age, if someone tells you something is going to be fun too many times, I start to have my doubts. I was able to get out of school for a day, and I had mixed feelings about that too. I do like school!
Anyway, Daddy and I made it to the dentists office, they had a rocking horse in the waiting room. I hadn't been on a rocking horse since I was 2, so I was a little rusty, but it came back pretty quickly. When the hygienist called us back, she explained all the tools she and the dentist would use. I was fine with all that, she then asked me to sit in her captain's chair. I did as she asked. Then I laid back and saw...TA-DA, a TV hanging from the ceiling and Tom & Jerry was on - I like the dentist. The hygienist turned this bright light on, she was so thoughtful, she asked if the light was too bright. I said 'yes', and she hurried off and brought back these.
Yep, sunglasses for my sensitive eyes, and headphones for Tom & Jerry. I was set. The hygienist started flossing my teeth, which was a little weird, having never flossed before. In the middle of my flossing I realized Daddy and the hygienist yelling at me to open my mouth. Then I realized I was biting down on the lady's latex covered fingers, OPS! I don't know what I was thinking about, mostly Tom & Jerry I guess. She said I had some nice chompers, and was much more careful for the rest of my cleaning. She finished cleaning my teeth, and then it was time for the dentist. He did a quick exam, counted my teeth, and gave me two high fives, for no cavities on the bottom teeth and no cavities on the top teeth. Then since I did such a good job, I could pick out 2 stickers, one pencil, and a toy, I went for the race car. He also said I could keep the sunglasses. Turns out the dentist isn't that bad. Maybe I will go back in about 6 months.

My School Holiday Show
Hello, and welcome to our Christmas show! Here are a few pictures of our holiday show we put on for all the Mommies and Daddies. We have been practicing our holiday songs for weeks, I know Mommy and Daddy are probably tired of hearing me sing, but they don't say anything. My favorite songs are 'Jingle Bell Rock', and 'Frosty the Snowman'.
Here we are coming in and taking our positions. Oh, and my friend to my right is not really that short, just a little camera shy.
I think I see Mommy!
Daddy, are you out there too?
Yep, I see you now!
My big moment with the microphone. I introduced the poem 'A Christmas Star'!
Now, it's time to SING!

My Pledge
I pledge alliance to the flag at the new knighted states America. And to the progress we stand, one nation, under god, invisible liberty, just us for all. Amen.
Happy Halloween!
Well, we had a great Halloween. First Jonas got to wear his Halloween costume to school. Halloween is a BIG deal at his school. All the kids, 3 years through 5th grade all get dressed up, and have a big parade all around the school grounds. Plus the parents club serves coffee and donuts for all the parents that show up to watch the parade, and there are a lot of parents - we had to park about a mile away. The rest of the day at school was Halloween themed.
On the way to school. To march in the Halloween Parade.
Caught him in the middle of a yawn, thought it was funny...
Here are some quotable quotes from Jonas during our Trick-or-Treating...
After trick-or-treating at a house, Jonas on the way down the driveway, yells back over his shoulder 'Thank you, I like your new house!', after hearing mommy tell the owner at the previous house, 'Thank you, I like your house (Halloween decorations)!'
On the way home, it was a nice night so we rolled the windows down to watch the kids trick-or-treating. Jonas yells out the window 'Excuse me, do you know where our house is?'
His costume was not very photo friendly at night, due to all the highly reflective material.
No, this is not a flashlight I'm holding. It's just my highly reflective firefighter's jacket!

Picture Day At School
Well, I have been going to school for about a month and have I learned a LOT!
After the first few days of school, I was ready to call it quits, but Mommy and Daddy said it would be good for me to keep going, so I gave it another chance, and I came to the realization - School is Fun!
This week we had picture day at school. I had so many complements on what I picked out to wear for picture day.
I have been making new friends at school too. Mommy and Daddy always ask who are your friends at school. I always say "Russia". Mommy and Daddy finally got the class roster this week and told me it's not "Russia", but "Raja". Oh, well, everyone at school knows who I'm talking about.
I have also come along way with my art work and penmanship. Here is an example of my work from the first week of school.
From Week 1
As you might be able to tell, by the big black crayon spot in the middle of the page, this is what happened when I got frustrated, and didn't want to try and draw 3's anymore.
But I have been working really hard, and practicing at home, now I am doing pretty well. I still don't get coloring, but I tend to hurry through these tasks (I'm more of a technical soul), but I guess a little art culture never hurt anyone.
