The Gravel Song

Last week, Philip was on Spring Break. One day, I brought my guitar with me, and we wrote another song together. It's to the tune of "In My Life" by the Beatles:

Last week Dad ordered gravel
To be delivered in our backyard
He wants to make a pathway
From the driveway down to the shed
The dump truck showed up in our driveway
And backed up to dump its load
I heard him put on the backup beeper
I was so excited I thought I might explode

Now we have a mound of gravel
Sitting out there in our backyard
And I keep on asking Dad
To rent a machine to move it around
I really want him to rent a bobcat
Or backhoe or tractor
or something that we can ride together
Whatever it is, it will be fun.

First Day of Spring Break; Flagger Training

I was at Loganville Dad's office. Friday Dad figure I like flagger training. Wear handsome neon reflecting beautiful vest, hat. Like hang out with Dad coworkers.

More from our reading book

Today, we read Chapter 4 and 5 in "The Sign of the Beaver." Here's what Philip wrote about it:

Matt dinner smell. Bear sit make messy kitchen.

Yes, unfortunately, Matt did not lock his front door, and a bear got in and stole his food, and made a big mess. Now he has to depend on his fishing abilities to get all his food.

Monday, March 1

Today Philip and I read more in "The Sign of the Beaver." In chapter 3, Matt has a visitor. Here is what Philip wrote about it:

Man sat, laugh, hang out, leave, steal gun.

Philip also wanted to write about something that happened when we got home today:
