Happy Halloween!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween! In the picture you see I am trying to carve a pumpkin . I ate my way through the pumpkin after my owners opened it and scooped out the guts . I got into the pumpkin and ate a ghost shaped hole aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!, I still don't like ghosts . I can't believe I carved a Jack-o- Lantern! It actually tasted good.

I don't know if I'm dressing up for Trick-or-Treating but as you see I am dressed as a pumpkin up there (lol). If I did dress up I would dress up as "super rat" complete with a cape my size (lol). I don't want to go trick or treating because I don't like ghosts. I don't know if the neighbors would see me as a trick or treater they might just think I'm a trick.

Maybe my owners would share some candy........

Drawing with a rat

My owners didn't like the sound of me going on an adventure. So I decided I should stick with Rat School. I decided to start art but as you can see in the picture it is harder than I thought. They told me to do the lighter colors first then layer with the darker ones. That is why you see the purple crayon marks on top of all the other ones. You see the yellow is at the bottom.

I was really trying to draw a rainbow but I do not have good dexterity so you just see a scribble. Try to imagine other things that I was drawing. Maybe you could see a bird, fish, a triangular piece of cheese, or just a rainbow as I tried to draw.

I'm front left pawed but everything I try to do doesn't work even though I'm using the right paw. Maybe a little more practice would do it. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect". I may try to master my talents instead of going on and on and on in education. Speaking of education I need to accelerate on everything if I am to become a famous Rat. That its self may be an adventure. I hope my readers can get good ideas from me.

Where should I go?

I'm back but I was dreaming of adventure so sorry for not posting in the past few days. But where should I go? Indiana? Oklahoma? Arkansas? Michigan? still haven't decided. I just barely learned about states. Before it was adventurous to just go behind the computer. I don't want to go back there anymore.

It would take long to get to every state. Maybe even a lifetime because the average life span of a rat is 2 years (rat years). I've already been to Arizona because I was born and raised there. After I was adopted I ended up in Utah. My owners are talking about moving to Michigan. If they bring me there are 47 more to go. It is just hard to plan an adventure as a rat.

You see in the picture I am choosing between Oklahoma and Arkansas, for I have come down to those two states as my favorite state . Vote between the two for me. Please leave your choice on the comments.

Rats and Triangles

Sorry I haven't posted anything in the last couple days because I was busy accelerating on my math. Anyways I was so focused on my Math I forgot all about this whole blog. Whew - now I'm back. I was just learning about how to find the area of a triangle when I remembered this blog. What I learned was so interesting I thought I would blog about it. Whew- if it wasn't for my open mind then this blog would be virtually empty except for the last couple of posts.



Back to triangles now. You find the area of a triangle by multiplying the height by the length then divide the answer by 2 and then for example if the height were 3 inches and length 12, then you multiply 3 by 12 which equals 36 then divide that by 2 so it would be 18 sq inches. It looks like this: 3x12=36 36/2=18.



As a rat I may use this if I find a triangle of Swiss cheese. This formula will help me know how much Swiss cheese I should save for later. I wish I could also share some cheese with my family but I would have to find a piece at least 6 inches in height and 18 inches in length and 10 inches in width. Next I'm going to have to learn about 3 dimensional triangles and how to figure out their volume. But my next lesson is "Using a scale factor to solve ratio problems". I don't know how that will play in my life but goodbye - I'm looking for cheese.

Rat School

In the previous post I promised legible writing. Here it is! This morning I worked and learned how to spell and do math. The children taught me. They took me into their office/Art room and let me play with the magnets and chalk. My homework was to write down everything you see in the picture.

I was so distracted I ran behind the computer and wouldn't come out of a little crack. I was finally tempted with a bit of Nutella to poke my head out. They forced the rest of my body out with a long wooden yard stick (I said its long because I am only six inches long). After that I had to focus really hard on my school work.

I also got distracted by the crayons because I really wanted to draw a picture. I wanted to draw a self portrait. If I did draw a self portrait I would have to just draw an outline with a different color crayon because as you see I am a white rat. Perhaps I may do that for Art lessons. I may blog about that another day. Anyway, if I do, I would also have to take music, physical education, social studies, and spanish. For now I'm busy enough with just spelling and math. See you later

Monday, October 20th

Tooday I did'nt now the dat so I climed up here . Aaaaaaaahhhhhh a gost at the topp!

Here's a translation from my owners:


Today I did'nt know the date so I climbed up here . Aaaaaaaaahhhhh a ghost at the top! What do you think he is doing up there?jgwyd.gyjip47c5c%%Oops I'm sorry about that I was just going to tell you that I don't like ghosts . Forgive me for misspelling,I'm not a good speller .

Looks like today will be a long day of spelling and typing practice for me. Did I mention I am a homeschooled Rat? I can promise more legiable writing in the posts to come.

More Adventures of Cookie Dough

I don't know why but (despite the title) I was really lazy this weekend. Above are some photos from Friday. Wheeeeeeeee I liked the stroller, I took a short ride on a skateboard (so short nobody could take a picture), I ran though the grass, and finally I sat on a fire hydrant where I tried to jump down. Hybdjvshxc sorry I just got scared and tried to run away, hgxcr sorry again. Good thing I'm not a f;lum (sorry that was just my tail) fire fighter. Perhaps I should look into a better profession. I suppose if I got begger - oops I meant better at typing I could be a newspaper writer. Whew - at least its the weekend and now I can redtu - I mean rest.

A Rat on the Computer

If you are wondering how a Rat could actually be a blogger then you may want to read this. Today while I looking up Pet Rats on Wikipedia someone took a picture of me. You can't see my face because I was concentrating on what I was reading.

I always type the same way humans do by pressing down the letters. The only difference is I have four feet and I use my feet as humans would use their fingers. Sometimes my tail gets in the way so I try to use it on the space bar. I could also tap with my nose but it is a little bit slower. On the previous post I played the piano by just walking up and down the notes. Typing is not the same otherwise it might say qwertyuiop[]\. When I type I do more dancing around than walking yet I have to memorize one dance cue for each word which makes it more difficult for a Rat to type than a human.

You may wonder how I form each sentence and compose my ideas. It is pretty simple besides Rats are pretty smart.

A New Talent

Today I was being a little lazy because the family was cooking bagels . Suddenly a boy let me out of the cage (but I just felt more lazy). Finally I became active and ran through the paintings ,went in the fireplace(still no fire), scurried around the floor where I got lost, and went on the piano (Humans make playing the piano look easy!). But I did play a song. Then I went downstairs. What is down there? I thought, I have never been down there. I enjoyed running under the beds but I got caught and was brought back upstairs. What I enjoyed most was playing the piano even though I can barely play a song. Maybe one of the boys will give me piano lessons because I have no idea what those dots in that book are for. Playing the piano could be a new talent for me.

Meet Cookie Dough

The day I was adopted I was let out of the cage to explore. First I hid behind some paintings, then I tried to hide in the fireplace (don't worry - no fire there), then after a few restful moments in my cage during which time I gave myself a bath from the people germs, a little boy came. He asked if I could get out of the cage. I was soon able to get out of my cage again this time I scurried under the couch, along the window sill, up the stairs, and along the piano where I played my first song. At that point another boy came. He enjoyed watching me with all the other kids. I went back through the paintings, on a chair, and on the couch where I peed. After that I was set back in my cage for the night. I think I might like my new home. Join me again for more adventures.
