Happy New Year from Me and All the Other Kids

Hi, it's me, Klu.

I just wanted to say Happy New Year from me and all the other kids. Here's a photo of all of us. It's not the best photo ever, but it's the only one I have of all the kids together, before Samuel went to be 'dopted by Hannah G. I wish I had asked Big Mummy to take some photos of all of us. I mean real photos, with us doin' some posin'. But she just took this photo of us on top of Mrs. B's dryer. We were getting dry after we played in the giant snow cave and did some sleddin' and had a snowball fight.

I liked 2006 a lot. I had lots of 'citing 'ventures, like sailing with Uncle Captain J on the David B and hearin' the elk bugling. I want to have some more 'ventures in 2007. That means I can start having more 'ventures tomorrow, cuz 2007 starts tomorrow.

Happy New Year!
Love,
Klu (and Bruno and Janna Ganna and Wilburina and Roma and Blu and Bianca (and Big Mummy and Auntie E)(and Samuel too, but he lives with Hannah G now (I miss Samual something fierce.)))

Wilburina and the Amaryllis

Hi, it's Klu, the Famous Bloggin' Bear.

When we got home from our Christmas bacation, we did some playin' so that Wilburina would feel like she was part of the family. Mrs. B gave us an amaryllis plant. An amaryllis is a pretty flower, but it starts out as a bulb. So me and Wilburina helped Big Mummy plant the amaryllis bulb. Here's a picture of Wilburina before we started. Isn't she the cutest pig you ever saw? She has a bouncy, oinky voice.


The dirt for the amaryllis plant came in a funny hockey puck. Here's a picture of Wilburina doin' some 'vestigatin'. 'Vestigatin' is what you do when you're a curious pig and you want to find things out. Wilburina is a really curious pig. I think pigs are really smart. She likes finding things out.

The directions said to put the dirt (the dirt that came in a funny hockey puck) in the pot and add water. We did that and it started growing! It grew and grew till it was big enough to plant the amaryllis bulb. Here's some pictures of Wilburina watching it grow.





I'll take a picture of our amaryllis plant when it has pretty flowers, but Big Mummy says you have to wait six or eight weeks. That's a long time.

Love,
Klu

PS. I took a photo of Wilburina for the sidebar. Do you like it? Isn't she the cutest pig you ever saw?

Our 'Citing Snowball Fight

Hi everyone, it's me, Klu.

I really like having 'ventures. And we had lots of 'ventures on Christmas bacation. I already told you about some of the 'ventures, like 'dopting Wilburina (she's a pig, and we're gonna call her Rina for short). And our sledding 'venture. And the biggest snow cave ever. But I forgot to tell you about our snowball fight 'venture. It was just me and Blu and Samuel, cuz we were feeling sad that he was gonna go live with Hannah G, and we wouldn't get to play with him as often. Only sometimes. (We're 'cited that he's got his own Big Mummy, but we miss him something fierce.) So we decided to have a snowball fight to say goodbye to Samuel.

Here's a picture of us having a snowball fight to say goodbye to Samuel. I got down in a big people footprint and used it like a fort. That was a really good idea, cuz then the other kids couldn't hit me with as many snowballs. You can just see my head sticking out from the people footprint.



Samuel really liked throwing snowballs. Here's a picture of him getting ready to throw a big snowball.



Blu and Samuel really liked my idea about getting down in a big people footprint, so they asked Hannah G to make them some footprints. Then we threw lots of snowballs at each other. You can see all the snowballs we threw at each other.



Wasn't that the best way ever to say goodbye to Samuel?

Love,
Klu the Bear

The Biggest Snow Cave Ever

Hi, it's me, Klu.

You know how me and Blu taught Samuel how to make a snow cave? (We taught Samuel cuz he's a bear and bears like caves.) Well, when we went on our Christmas 'venture, we saw the biggest snow cave ever. Hannah G and Jack and Seth and all the other kids had been doin' some diggin'. They must have been doin' some diggin' for a long time, cuz their snow cave was so big I couldn't touch the ceiling. Here's a picture of all of us kids in the big snow cave. (You can see Samuel in the picture, but then he went home with his new Big Mummy, Hannah G. I miss Samuel something fierce.)



Here's a picture of Samuel and Roma. He's doin' some shovelin'. But the snow cave was so big he really didn't need to do some shovelin'. He was just doing it cuz it's fun. Bears like snow, you know.



Love,
Klu

Here's Us Having A Sleddin' 'Venture!

Hi, it's me, Klu, again. It's still Christmas, and we just had a 'citing 'venture with all the kids. We went sleddin'!

Here's some pictures of us sleddin'. 'Cept that we didn't have sleds cuz we're all squishy and we can just sled on our fur. Me and the other bears and Roma went down head-first on our backs, and Bruno and Bianca and Wilburina (we're gonna call her Rina for short) went down on their tummies.




Here's a picture of Samuel sleddin' on Hannah G's back. I guess he thought his new Big Mummy would make a really good sled. Huh. Huh. I think that's funny.



Love,
Klu

PS. Merry Christmas!

Samuel Gets 'Dopted By Hannah G and Wilburina Gets 'Dopted By Us!

Merry Christmas, it's me, Klu!

Christmas is the 'citing-est day ever! The first thing that happened is that Samuel got 'fficially 'dopted. And guess who Samuel's new Big Mummy is?!! It's my friend Hannah G!!! Me and Auntie E and my Big Mummy knew all along that we where just fostering Samuel till he could get 'dopted by Hannah G. (Fostering means we were taking care of Samuel and helping him get unscared when he climbed up a tree.) But Hannah G didn't know she was gonna get to 'dopt Samuel. (That's why it was a secret about Samuel's long voyage and everything, and why I was giving clues.) She was really 'cited. Here's a picture of Hannah signing the 'fficial 'doption papers. So that means Samuel is 'fficially Hannah G's bear now.



After Samuel got 'fficially 'dopted, I was feelin' kind of sad, cuz now Samuel's gonna live with Hannah G, and we won't get to play with him as much. Only sometimes. But just when I was feeling sad, something more that was really 'citing happened!!! We found out we're 'dopting Wilburina!!! Here's a picture of Wilburina. She's a pig. She has a funny, oinky kind of voice, and she's really bouncy. I think we're gonna call her Rina for short.



I didn't know Wilburina before, but now I love her a lot. She's the best pig I ever met. I'm really 'cited we 'dopted her.

Merry Christmas!
Love,
Klu

Here's Our 'Mazing Snow Cave!

Hi fans, it's me, the Cave Bear, Klu. Huh. Huh. That was funny. I'm not really a Cave Bear, but we made a snow cave yesterday, and we were pretending to be Cave Bears. Me and Blu taught Samuel how to make a snow cave, cuz he's just a baby bear, and he still has to learn things. Bears like caves, you know. Baby bears are born in caves, so Samuel liked the snow cave right away. Me and Blu and Samuel were all born in a cave in Ikea, Sweden, but we don't remember it cuz we were too little.

Here's a picture of the first snow cave we made. It was kind of small. I had to squish my head over when I was sitting up. Samuel just mostly lay down, and he took up all the room in the snow cave, so Blu had to stand by the door. Here's a photo of my head squished over and Samuel lying down and Blu standing by the door.



Bears are really good at digging. And bears like snow, you know, cuz we have fur. So we decided to make our snow cave bigger. Here's our snow cave after we made it bigger. We made a special bedroom for Samuel so he could take a nap. He's just a baby bear, and baby bears sleep a lot, you know.



Then I decided I wanted to have a recliner chair. I never had a recliner chair before. So I made a recliner chair out of snow, so I could do some relaxin'. Here's me in my recliner chair (made out of snow). Samuel woke up from his nap, and decided he was tired of our snow cave. In the picture, he's climbing out of the snow cave. (Blu is helping him).



Then Samuel decided to just keep climbing up the snow mountain. Here's a picture of him climbing up the snow mountain.



Big Mummy tried to take a photo of all of us sitting on the snow mountain, but Samuel wouldn't smile. It's hard to make a baby bear smile sometimes. He was getting tired and cranky and his fur was all wet. Here's a picture that Big Mummy took of all three of us. Me and Blu are smiling, but Samuel wouldn't look at the camera.




That's all, cuz we have to go out and help Big Mummy and Auntie E dig their cars out. Bears are good at doin' some diggin' in the snow, you know.

Love,
Klu
