I Am Poem

I Am Poem

I am sporty.

I wonder how to be like FSU's basketball team.

I hear shoes sliding against the floor.

I see Lebron dunking.

I want to play video games.

I am Logan.

I pretend to be Lebron James.

I feel like I am a basketball star.

I touch the basketball.

I worry I'll drop it.

I cry, "We won! We won!"

I am dunking.

I understand math.

I say 5+5=10.

I dream of Lebron James making a three.

I try making a three.

I hope I make it.

I am happy I made it.

Tallahassee Seasons

Tallahassee Seasons

By: Logan Allison 

October 2013

What's your favorite season in Tallahassee? Mine is winter because of Christmas, coldness, and New Years.

First, let's start with Christmas. I really like Christmas because of toys. When you wake up and see all the toys you feel so good because you knew you were good the whole year. Everybody likes to be surprised! The feeling of when you rush out of your bed and into the living room to see all your good toys feels so good. You don't want your tree too thick or too thin. Neither do you want it too big or too little. You want your tree to be just right for winter.

Next comes coldness. The best part about coldness is no sun beating down on you. No sun means to warmness. I only like to run in the winter because of coldness. Running in the cold makes your lungs freezing but it's better than running in the hot sun sweating. When it's cold outside you have to love the feeling of rushes of cold air on your face. You wish you can just stay in that part of Tallahassee.

Last, but not lease, comes New Years. The best thing about New Years is the singing competition on TV. All the best singers from around the world come to compete in this competition to see if they have a chance to be crowned winner! At midnight the ball drops on the big needle by Times Square. TV reporters are constantly turning their cameras to see how far the ball is from dropping. All this is hosted in Times Square, the middle part of New York.

I think you should live in Florida because of Christmas, coldness, and New Years. The best time in Tallahassee to live is in winter.

Lucky Leprechaun Thanks By Logan

I am thankful for: lives, ipads, food, houses, iphones, water, xbox, wii, Dad, Mom, brother.

The Allison Weekly: 3/4/13-3/10/13

This week:

We got my oil changed and spent an extensive amount of time in the Infiniti dealership waiting room testing out all the different types of hot chocolate and coffees.

The tooth fairy came again!

And Logan made 100 AR points and was featured on the morning news!

Random Living

On the coldest Florida winter mornings, Daddy lights a fire before the boys wake up. They love to come out, sleep still in their eyes, and warm up by the fire while I cook breakfast. It's a simple thing really, but it's the smallest memories that I want to treasure always.

Keegan is so big. He uses our headphones and ipads to watch his own movies.

I got a little girl-time with my main girl, Ella. She chose Gator colors for our nail-painting session, but I still love her. After all, she's only four and doesn't know any better yet.

Keegan makes stromboli. Italian cooking is in his blood.

Fort on a chilly, gloomy day. Another simple memory.

Gavin's crocodile diorama.

Keegan loves Mama's FSU hoody and Nutra-Grain bars.

He has his own sense of style.

One awesome Family Night we enjoyed dinner out and then went to the top of the capital It's so pretty at night. The boys were impressed, but were even more enamored by the Governor's entourage of Escalades parked downstairs by Daddy's car.

And a future MLB player.

When I am 100 years old

When I Am 100 Years Old

By: Logan

(emphasis added by Mom)

     When I am 100 years old, I would look very, very old. I bet I would live in a nursing home. I wouldn't be so grumpy like some of the grandmas and grandpas. I would be nice and peaceful (like you are now, Logan? Ha!). Also, I wouldn't have any problems with me (of course he wouldn't!). 

     What I would do for a living is I would work for Publix. I will be those people who make cakes. I'm really good at making cakes (this child does not have issues with self-esteem...also, I don't recall him EVER making a cake before). Then, for the final touch, I'll put on the frosting.

     I will probably look like a dead bird (where does he come up with this stuff???). I'll have wrinkles, warts, and maybe a few freckles. My eyesight won't be good. I'll probably look ugly (haha). 

     That's what I will do when I am 100.

My Favorite Place -- By: Logan

3rd grade Expository Writing Assignment

My Favorite Place

There are many places in the world, but only North Carolina is my favorite.

My first reason is all my relatives come there. Normally Gram and Gramps get there first. When we all get there we have a party. It takes about 14 hours to get there.

Another reason why I like it is because we play in the pool. Sometimes, if we have everybody we can make a giant whirlpool. It's like spinning around the sun. Lots of times after the pool we go in the hot tub. Sometimes we even have a cannon ball contest.

Most of the days we go to the beach. Me and my brother Gavin bring our boogie boards to the beach to ride on. My two uncles always surf. I've always wanted to surf. At night at about 8:00pm I start hunting for crabs. I try to dig them out of the sand.

That is why North Carolina is my favorite place in the whole world.

Yep, that's my boy.

Gilchrist visits the Jr. Museum

These two best friends went on this same exact field trip in Kindergarten. They sure have grown, and they're sillier than ever, but they're still BFF's. Bless the poor teacher who has to deal with them on a daily basis. During summer orientation, I noticed that their two desks were placed next to each other (due to alphabetical order). I laughed and told the teacher that it was very nice to meet her and that she'd be reconsidering that seating arrangement shortly. The next time I went into the classroom, their desks were on opposite sides of the room!

born to race

Logan kicked off December by rocking his first 5 mile race! The GWTC 5 & 10 Mile Challenge is a small (hilly) race sponsored by our local running club and just so happened to be in our neighborhood. The Tilden's were visiting, so we even had our own cheering squad and someone to babysit the other two boys so we could run together. Logan had a great race and finished third in his age group! That boy really knows how to make his Mama proud!

Bucket List #2 -- Go Fishin'

We ventured over to Lake Hall (one of our favorite swimming holes) to participate in a city-sponsored Kids Fishing Day. They worked the kids through various stations (knot tying, safety, baiting the hook, etc.) with a grand finale of fishing off the dock using hot dogs as bait. No, we didn't catch anything, but Logan will tell you that he "ALMOST" caught a fish like TONS of times!

Gavin wins the casting contest! He's a natural!

And Logan wins a door prize! I wish I could say it was that Allison family luck, but we all know it's because that Lucky Coddington came along for the ride!

Worm gruntin'. Yes, this is real. It's a work of art down here.

See...I told you it was real!

After we grew tired of fishing, we enjoyed some fun in the sun, had a picnic lunch, and cooled off in the lake.

The boys met some friends and quickly conquered their boat!

Our Summer Bucket List appears to be off to a great start.
