"The past is in the cast!"  (Instead of the past is in the past.)

St. Joseph's Day 2014

Dear St. Joseph,

Please take care of my family.  Also, make sure my sister gets the movie Frozen.  Also that my brother has a great birthday party at paintball.  Also, take care of my Mom and Dad.  Also make sure Claire invents a new Rainbow Loom braselet.

Love, Matthew

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2014

"This is how to catch a Leprechaun.  First, you get your money and put it all around your room.  Then, a leprechaun will come in your room for the money.  Then you lock your door.  Finally, you lock him in a jar."  -Matthew, age 7

"If a Leprechaun granted me three wishes, I would wish for Super powers because I could fly to Disneyland every day.  I also would wish for ten thousand minions because I don't have to do anything.  For my last wish, I would have ten guard dogs because I wouldn't have to be robbed."  -Matthew, age 7

The night before St. Patrick's Day, someone in San Jose went around and painted a lot of medians in the city green.  Damien and Emily noticed this on the way to getting Damien's haircut (which of course Emily needed to go because she can't miss anything).  When Damien asked Emily who she thought might have done this and she simply replied, "The leopards."  She meant leprechauns but it was really funny!

'Brennan and the Zombies' written by Matthew

Once upon a time there was a human and his name was Brennan.  He lived in a forest.  He was lonely.  One day he was walking in the forest and he heard a noise.  It was three Zombies.  Then Brennan ran away, but the Zombies got him.  When the Zombies were going to cook him, Brennan saw a quick sand pit.  Brennan quickly threw the Zombies into the pit.  Then the Zombies grabbed the grass.  Brennan ran away.  Later, when a Zombie was up the pit, another Zombie grabbed the Zombie's hand.  Next, all of the Zombies fell into the pit.  At the end, Brennan was safe and lived happily ever after.  -Matthew, age 7
