September 25, 2014 The Penguin Plies back!!

Book III -The Adventures of Penguin Man
Rumble in Russia

Kiwi's plane just landed in the Saint Petersburg, Russia airport. Cleaver aka Beaver Man and Joe aka Kangaroo Man were waiting for him.

On the way to Cleaver's house, they saw beautiful buildings. A couple of the buildings were so beautiful they stopped and took a walk around the insides of the buildings – including the Catherine Palace.  Then they came up to a rose garden. You wouldn't believe how many varieties of roses there were – 2,000!

When they got to Cleaver's house, Cleaver went in and got some money. Then they went out for lunch. Kiwi never had Russian food before! He liked it! They had Okroshka (soup) and black bread (rye). They had Ptichie Moloko (Bird's Milk Cake) for dessert. They loved that!!!

Meanwhile, back home in Buffalo, it was winter. Buffalo was in the middle of a terrible blizzard. And the power was knocked out all over the city. In prison, all the cells automatically opened. All the villains escaped, including Dr. Walrus and Mr. Koala. They grabbed their weapons and their disguises from Dr. Walrus's lair and flew to Russia to join Cyber Huskie – Beaver Man's arch enemy. They did not know that Kiwi and Joe were there. But they were old friends and allies of Cyber Huskie. Ah-oh!!!!

Penguin Man, Beaver Man and Kangaroo Man were settling down to watch Neglia Ballet Artist's at the famous Mariinsky Theatre. All of a sudden, they saw someone go into a secret door under the stage. They went into the bathroom to suit up. When they were all suited up, the ballet was about to begin! They used their suction cups on the ceiling to get to the front. By the time the ballet started, they got to the front and through the secret door.mariinsky theatre saint petersburg

When they got through the door, they found out that Dr. Walrus, Mr. Koala and Cyber Huskie had teamed up. They were planning to steal the crown jewels of Russia. The crown jewels of Russia were at the ballet because the royal family was there to watch The Nutcracker.

 The good super heroes jumped out of their hiding spot and startled the bad guys! They chased each other onto the stage and around the dancers. It was during the battle scene! As they were firing their weapons at each other, they started dancing since they found out they were in the middle of the ballet.

The king and queen were laughing so hard at the shenanigans that they fell to the ground! Imagine villains and super heroes dancing and shooting each other. The royal guards were laughing so hard they fell off the balcony!! Ouch!!!!!  Imagine the dancers trying to dodge the lasers and dance! The Nutcracker (Sergio Neglia) was trapped on the top of a poll that was right in the center of the stage. Poor guy! He's just going to hang up there until he sees who wins.

Apparently, the good guys were winning. Know why? Because Penguin Man forgot he had a shield projector on his watch and had it activated during his trip over to Russia. It can only cover the amount of good guys in a fight. As soon as they were done firing, they started to chase each other off the stage.

 While they were running Cyber Huskie was powering up one of his energy gauntlets. He shot it at both crowns and they came right to him! Now the good guys had to get the crowns back AND get the bad guys back in prison.

The bad guys hid.

But the good guys knew one thing; they would have to return to the secret hideout. They went up some of the polls, climbed down the ropes with a pulley and then the good guys hid. As soon as the bad guys thought they were alone, they started walking back to their lair. As they were walking,  each bad guy put his feet into the stage ropes, the good guys pulled on the ropes and the bad guys were trapped!

The crown jewels were returned to the king and queen. Sergio and the dancers resumed the ballet. As a reward for returning the crown jewels, Penguin Man, Kangaroo Man and Beaver Man got to sit with the king and queen. They all enjoyed the ballet.

Kiwi helped the police get the villains onto the plane and back to Buffalo. The power was finally back on and the city was protected from all the other villains.

Once again, the day has been saved by PENGUIN MAN AND FRIENDS!!!

I wonder if this ever really happened??? Or will happen?? Only time will tell!

The end

Book IV – off the floor!

September 24, 2014 Return of the Penguin


The Adventures of Penguin Man

Book II - Trouble in Australia
I dedicate this book to my Brother, Brad. Happy Birthday!

Kiwi just arrived in Australia. His friend Joe picked him up at the airport. He came for a vacation. Or so he thought…

Joe aka Kangaroo Man
On the way to Joe's apartment, they talked about their secret lives as Penguin Man and Kangaroo Man. Joe is Kangaroo Man. You see, Joe has the same background as Kiwi. His arch enemy inspired him to become Kangaroo Man. So, he fights evil where ever it happens - especially if it includes his arch enemy Mr. Koala.

When they got to Joe's apartment, they flipped on Joe's favorite channel, National Geographic to watch, All about Kangaroo's. It was about the 3rd commercial in and the news guy interrupted the show for some very important news. Penguin Man's arch enemy busted out of his Buffalo prison - Dr. Walrus was loose!

Want to know how he got loose?? It was because a letter from Mr. Koala. The letter said that Penguin Man was going on a trip with Kangaroo Man. Also in the letter was a nail file. Walrus broke out with that nail file. Mr. Koala wanted to team up with Dr. Walrus to capture Penguin Man and Kangaroo man.

Mr. Koala 
On the way to the airport, Dr. Walrus stopped at his evil lair and grabbed his disguise and his disintegrating ray.

And hearing this news, Penguin Man and Kangaroo Man teamed up to defeat their nemesis. Little did PM and KM know, that they were being lured into a trap!

As soon as PM and KM were suited up, PM got in his egg mobile, which PM always carries in his back pocket – remember the shrinking ray and the special button on his watch?  KM got in his car, the eucalyptus mobile. They took off to town square. They were armed with KM's magic boomerang and PM's arbalest.

Dr. Walrus and Mr. Koala were busy setting up the trap. The trap was basically any old trap, a cage and a rope net. The cage was for Kangaroo Man and the net was for Penguin Man. The bad guys thought they would never fall for something so simple.

But, apparently they did! As they arrived to the scene, they ran into the traps! They were CAPTURED!!! Cars and all!!

Little did Dr. Walrus and Mr. Koala know that the Mayor of the town was watching. He tried to call the police, but there was no phone service. And he forgot his wallet at his house so he couldn't use a pay phone. The mayor ran home, grabbed his car and drove 200 miles to the nearest police station. By the time the mayor and the police got back to the scene, everyone was gone.

A rescue mission was started.

Meanwhile, back at Mr. Koala's secret laboratory where he makes all his nefarious inventions, PM and KM were trapped over a pool of sharks!!! With the good guys trapped and out of the way, the bad guys could start their foul plan of taking over the world with their doomsday device. This device would zap every continent in the world and make the world how they wanted it to be – MALEFICIENT!

The mayor, whose name is Bradley, and the police chief found Dr. Koala's lair. The villains were gone but the heroes were still there! Mayor Brad helped PM and KM out of their trap. Everyone rushed to where the bad guys were going to release their weapon. They knew where the bad guys went because they left their extra GPS marked with the place they were going. (Bad guys are so dumb.)

By the time the good guys got there, the weapon was fired up and ready to fire its first ray. When the bad guys weren't looking, Penguin threw one of the grenades he keeps with him, and blew up the doomsday device!!!  Mayor Brad helped the police and the good guys capture Walrus and Koala. Both bad guys were shipped back to Buffalo and put in a high tech security prison. Never to be seen again…or so we think…

Kiwi and Joe get to go back on their vacation. They got to go to Australia's National Zoo. Joe's favorite part was the kangaroo exhibit. Kiwi enjoyed the penguin exhibit. It was a good vacation.

By the time Kiwi got home, he noticed a note sitting at his door step. It was a letter from one of his allies. Looks like he wants Kiwi to come over next week!! Looks like his next trip is to Russia!

Once again, the world was saved by Penguin Man, defender of the Artic – and friends!!


 Book III, up a tree! Coming soon to a blog near you!

September 22, 2014 The Coming of the Penguin


Hey, guys! I've got a little story for you! Hope you enjoy the Adventures of Penguin Man, Book 1


Penguin Man

Setting: In a city named Buffalo

There lived a person named Kiwi. Kiwi was an ordinary person, turned super hero. One day he was at work – payday in fact, he was about to get paid when a villain came in. The villain said WOOHAHAHA!!! And shocked the person that was giving Kiwi his pay, then Kiwi had an idea to stop this guy. He would become Penguin Man – Defender of the Artic.

It was a peaceful day in Buffalo.

Penguin Man was at his home watching the news. He saw something behind the mayor who was opening the new theme park. He didn't know what it was, so he went to check it out. It was a little suspicious.


When Kiwi (Penguin Man) got there, the mayor was about to cut the ribbon and the theme park was about to open. All of a sudden, a smoke bomb came out of nowhere! The smoke bomb didn't harm anyone. But then something dropped out of a hovering helicopter and it was one of his enemies!! It was the evil Dr. Walrus!!! Dr. Walrus was the one who inspired Kiwi to become Penguin Man. 



Dr. Walrus was planning to use one of his special weapons that he has for special occasions. This particular special weapon could freeze things solid – even people! Kiwi went back to his house – which was just one block down – pressed a button that was hidden under his favorite statue head and went into a secret elevator. His hideout was called "The Glacier". He put on his Penguin Man suit and grabbed his arbalest and hopped into his car – the Egg Mobile.

The Egg Mobile is basically a car in the shape of an egg. Penguin Man is pretty cramped in there. But it has a stretch button that makes the Egg Mobile look like a cracked egg! And there are hidden weapons all over it, like a machine gun on top, two missiles on the side, lazar guns in the front and tacks and oil slick in the back.

He arrived at the scene to find Dr. Walrus freezing everyone and everything!!! Including the Mayor!! Dr. Walrus was doing this so that he could order all his minions to rob all the banks!!! It seems as though all of Buffalo's police and security were at the grand opening to protect the mayor and make sure the crowd didn't go all wild. So the city was left unprotected.
Penguin Man had to act pretty fast. He took shelter behind the cars and started shooting his arbalest which was armed with arrows that would punch the enemy in the face. They knocked out some of the good guys so they wouldn't get frozen. And then Dr. Walrus started shooting at Penguin Man!! It's a good thing he ducked behind the cars! PM started shooting his arrows at Dr. Walrus. They didn't work on him because he was so fat. So PM had to use something else.

He rummaged through some of his pockets and found some throwing knives. He started throwing them at the Doctor and pinned him to one of the buildings! When the police woke up, they escorted Dr. Walrus to their police car and arrested him.
Penguin Man wanted to unfreeze the people. So he got out a giant heat lamp. He always kept one in his car – it was shrunken, but had a special button that could make it grow into a size that could help frozen people.

After he unfroze everyone, PM had to assist the police and security, stop all of Dr. Walrus's minions from robbing the banks. And boy did they put up a fight! But they never reached the vaults that held everyone's money. He stopped them by shrinking them. He shrunk them with an extra shrinking ray – the same ray he used to shrink the heat lamp. He put all the bad guys into a safe, but poked holes on the top so they could breathe. When they got to the prison and each one was in their cells, he pressed a special button on his watch that made them grow back to their original size.

Once again, the day is saved by PENGUIN MAN!!!

 Coming soon, book II…..

September 15, 2014 Welcome Back Part 2

Well, we're at Part 2!

First of all, I'd like to show you this little video. I've been listening to this since I was 3 and I finally learned how to play it on the piano! Almost.......here it is!

Schroeder...

Daddy is getting his surgery tomorrow and Meggie is coming over! Since I'm afraid of her pugs, I modified my whole entire fort. I put a chair in front of it, Dad's jacket in front of it, I put my table in front of it, and I put my gun on top of it. It only has 2 darts left.
I'm wearing the jacket right now, so you can't see it...this is how my fort looks!! Cool, huh?



Anyway....moving along.

I went to Fantasy Island this summer! I had a blast! I spent 2 hours in the water park. I went with Meggie, Bubba and of course my annoying sister, Lilly. Oh, I was gonna go on this right where every once in awhile you hang upside down? But, some lady kept yelling, DON'T DO IT....she scare me off it.....Guess what, the big blue water slide and the Mouse, Bubba kept asking me out of all the rides, I'm not afraid of those 2. (Will's words - no correction on his order)

Oh! Science camp was sweet! I did some chemistry. I especially loved learning about polymers! I already know a lot about polymers. They are just molecular bonds...that are either strong bonds or weak bonds...I also, blew some bubbles. But, not regular bubbles...HUMONGOUS bubbles..I learned about DNA, too. DNA is your genetics, like you carry your Mom's and Dad's genes. So, unattached ear lobes are genetic, the ability to roll your tongue. And tasting sourness is also genetic. I learned A LOT!!!

Ok, so this is it for now.......stay tuned until I have time for more!

That's all for now!!!

TO BE CONTINUED!!!!

September 11, 2014

I'll think of a name for this blog later. This isn't going to be your ordinary, everyday blog. Especially because it's about what happened in 2001 on this date.

We just watched a couple of videos and we learned about what happened with the Twin Towers. Here a video from BrainPOP about 9-11.

http://www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/ushistory/september11th/

My take on this is that terrorists are just jealous of other people. And they just want to make everyone live their way. Everyone has a different religion and different race. Why can't we just get along? And why do the terrorists plan attacks? Why can't we just negotiate? They do their business, and we do ours. No more! It would be a good thing if we could turn back time. And much safer. If we could turn back time, we could change history, and have no terrorists, and no worry and no Nazi's. And then we wouldn't need anymore defenses. Except for robbers. Then we would need defenses. But, whole armies just to defend our country? You would just need one if you were attacked, by, I don't know...your worst enemy. And people getting along? That would be much more peaceful. Don't you think?

I thought of a name for my blog. It's 9-11, I hate terrorists.
I salute you, America

September 10, 2014 Welcome back!!! Part 1

Hey! Cool Picture of me! Aren't I cute??
It's the school year again! EEffffgggggljjjjj.....Well, new year means new blogs!!!

Ok, first of all, here's somethings I'd like to tell you.

1st of all, I was actually excited for the school year to begin! Guess this is because I'm in 6th grade ELA. It is pretty fun! I'm learning vocabulary and different types of verbs. Since it's in (time4learning) extensions, it's boring. But, today I did parts of speech.

In math, I'm doing 4th grade work. We are working on estimating and rounding. Khan Academy helped me a lot with this. (I'm also learning about prepositions - never end a sentence with a prepostion....I broke a rule.)

Anyway, more on school later.

I tried out for Baba Yaga, but I didn't get in.

Anyway...here's some pictures of what I did this summer, well, some of what I did this summer....
