Our Smurf Village

From JJ:We made a Smurf Village at our house. Billy, Minnie and me worked like so many days making it. We are having an art show tonight. Clumsy is my favorite Smurf.


From Billy: We made a Smurf Village. It is awesome. We made a river, boats, houses, and everything Smurfs need....and it is awesome. We even have Gargamel's castle. And Asriel. We have a stage for Smurf performances and 2 lakes. And lots of fields where the Smurfs can grow Smurf Berries.

Two things we really love......

Our beloved Maxwell....and The Smurfs!

The jump...

We finally did it, make a jump for their biking pleasures.

It was their reward today for doing their homework, going through school supplies and going through clothes for school!

The Lemonade Stand!

From JJ: I had a lemonade stand at the library last night. My favorite part was standing outside with signs. We made a lot of money to buy true ('non fiction) books for the library. Lemonade stands are really a lot of fun.


From Billy: Last night we had our famous BBC Lemonade Stand! We ended up being on tv and in the newspaper. I think we made $312.42 for the library (once mom mom sends her donation). The lemonade was a hit - we had over 200 customers, at least! We even had 3 moms ask if their kids could be in the BBC but we are probably just going to tell them how to do one because our BBC is perfect just as it is! My favorite part was doing the advertising outside. We got some customers to come in just because we were outside with signs. (We did a little false advertising too - we said our lemonade was voted the best in H-burg...and nobody really voted on that!) We think the biggest donation ended up being $25...even though we all though all night that someone put a $50 bill inside. Even without that $50, we ended up with way more money than anyone thought we would make....and now we will all get to pick out a book to donate to the library with our name on a bookplate inside the book! Another really cool thing was that Mrs. C came to our lemonade stand and brought a bunch of her family. That was really nice because she does not even live in town. But, a lot of her kids from last year are in the BBC so she really wanted to support us. I already miss her and have not even started 3rd grade yet.

The Waterpark!

From Billy:
Yesterday, we went to the water park. I did the lilly pads and I only fell twice because I am really good! The wave pools waves were so big when they went out, I could touch in the 5 feet. Outside is where the really big slide is. I beat Mickey going down it once. Inside, I went down all the slides a few times...even the pitch black one (I did that one by myself!) I also did the surfing thing, but I got a bloody nose! We had a lot of fun at the water park.

From JJ:
The water park is really cool. I did everything. I went down the big slides, I did the lilly pads, I swam in the wave pool with no life jacket. And for the first time, I also did the surfing thing at the water park. It was cool, but scarey. I also went by myself on the lazy river. Pie went with me sometimes, but one time, I went all alone! The water park is so cool!

Backyard Superstars

The local tv station heard about the BBC's upcoming Lemonade Stand to benefit the library, and came out to interview the boys about their plans!


From JJ: I liked answering those questions. I cant wait for the lemonade stand. I hope we make $1,002 when we sell lemonade.

From Billy: On Friday, the tv station interviewed us for a story about boys book club and the lemonade stand. JJ and I actually got interviewed. They took footage of us playing and working. We also had a story about us in the paper on Saturday and a story on the radio. Boys Book Club is getting famous! I think the lemonade stand is going to be fun. Check back here for news about how we did!
