00:00:04 --> 00:00:18 Thanks for joining Beartown Stories in our house. We love stories. Almost every day, our kids ask us to tell them a story. Okay. So we thought we'd record some stories for them to keep and to share with you.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:26 With this podcast, our goal is to inspire childlike imagination, spark creativity, and encourage a desire to learn.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:56 We enjoy the Blueberry kids present. Rebecca visits the Blueberry. The Blueberry. The Blueberry Kids. That's us. When is she going to be here?

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 You just asked me that a minute ago.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:02 I know, but you said any minute, and it's been a minute.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:10 Any minute doesn't mean just one minute could be. Well, any number of minutes could be one minute, could be five minutes, could be 10 minutes.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14 But that's too long.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18 It usually means sometime really soon, though.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22 I see her car. Oh, yeah. See?

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26 It could also be less than a minute.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:47 I can't wait to show her. Me, too. Rebecca. Hello, Rebecca. Guess what we have. We got kittens, Mom. Let me show you.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:54 Now slow down, girls. Let her get through the door. Hi, Rebecca. How are you doing?

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58 Good. Liam always said you got kittens.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03 That's right. They're very excited to show you. Where's your mommy?

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 She's eating Noel out of the cow.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:17 Oh, good. That's right, Simon. Noah's coming over to play with you today. Thomas, come say hi to your cousin.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:22 Hi, Roberto. Hi, Thomas. Come on, let's go see the kittens.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25 All right, you guys run along and have fun.

00:02:25 --> 00:04:33 Yay. Yay. This one's Cookie. She looks like a cookie. I like teddies. Me, too. And this one is Oliver. He's the one that got lost. Yeah. Weasel friend to eat him. Thomas. Daddy found him in the workshop. My cat's name is Mochi. He's a big cat, though. Yeah. These kittens are still pretty small. 30 times into my poop yesterday. What are they saying? They usually make that sound when they're hungry. Mary, can you go get the milk? Sure. Do they eat mice? Not yet. Right now, they're eating mostly milk, but when they did bigger, they didn't eat a weasel. You don't have any weasels, Thomas. They can eat mice and they get bigger. Mochi likes to eat mice. One time she caught a bird and ate it. You. I will never eat a bird. Chickens are good, Thomas. Oh, how do I tip it? Got the milk. Boy, they were hungry. No kidding. Speaking of hungry, I'm ready for a snack. Me, too. Me three. Or people snack, though. Not that snack. I love blueberries. I love blueberries. Me, too. Come on, let's Go ask Mommy for some. Mommy, can we have some blueberries?

00:04:33 --> 00:04:39 Some blueberries, then. Now, what are you gonna make with those this time?

00:04:39 --> 00:04:43 A snack. We want to eat them, not make something with them.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46 Well, I never know with you guys.

00:04:46 --> 00:05:04 We made a snowman last week. I used blueberries for the eyes first. Simon and Thomas ate all the blueberries. Can we make another one? Another snowman? Yeah. No. There's not very much snow anymore.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 Why don't you guys build something else?

00:05:06 --> 00:05:15 We did build a tree house. We already built that, Thomas. Well, Daddy did most of it, but you guys helped.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:20 If it wasn't for you, I don't think I ever would have seen a tree house quite that color.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:29 True. I love pink, too. I wanted it to be rainbow. What about a birdhouse?

00:05:29 --> 00:05:37 It's a little too cold today to build something outside. Why don't you find something you could build inside? Like a block tower or a fort or a cross.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41 A fort. A fort. A fort.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:45 You know, when I was little, my brothers and I would make the biggest forts.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48 Let's make ours bigger than big.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51 Come on. Don't make too big of a mess, though, okay?

00:05:51 --> 00:08:22 Okay. All right. Rebecca, did you get all the pillows from upstairs? I got them all. I got all the sheets. Should we do out? Asked daddy with a hammer on nails. Not this time. We're going to use pillows instead of wood. Around where we made the walls, couch cushions. We want the fort to be soft. Softer than soft. Oh. The sheets make the roof and the pillows will go inside the fort. Can I have my own room inside the fort? Of course. Let's get. Rebecca, can you hand me that pillow? This one? No, not that one. This one? No, the one you're sitting on. Oh, I like this one. Okay. You can put that one in your room. Where's my room? Over here. Careful not to bump any of the walls, Thomas. Okay. Leah, pull the shoe over the top here. Okay. Is this my room? Yes, but you and Thomas come out until Mary and I finish the roof, okay? Okay. I don't see Mary. The roof fell on that side. I'll fix it. Come on out, you two. A roof fell on my hat. Me too. Ah. Oh, no. The wall fell over again. I'll fix it. Boy, this is tricky. Want to hear a joke about the wall? Attempt falling over. Not now. Ease. Okay, fine. Never mind. I don't stand it. Very funny, Thomas. That does sound like this wall. No kidding. What if we lean it up against the chair? Oh, yeah, that should work.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23 There.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:34 It's perfect. I going in.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:41 Hey, honey, do you know what happened to all the. Oh, my goodness. What's going on in here?

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44 We built a fort. We built a fort.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 A fort. It looks more like a castle. It's so big.

00:08:47 --> 00:08:51 It's bigger than big.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53 I can see that. Is Thomas in there?

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55 Hey, Daddy.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56 Where are you?

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58 He's in his bedroom.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00 He has his own bedroom in there?

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03 We all do. I have my own bedroom, too.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:12 Wow. That's so fun. Well, let me walk around the outside and take a better look.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14 What are you doing?

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18 I'm marching around the walls.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19 Why?

00:09:19 --> 00:09:25 I'm Joshua. Doo, doo, doo, doo. Now that I've blown my trumpet, the walls come tumbling.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28 Daddy. No. No, Daddy.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:33 I'm just kidding. How long are these magnificent walls gonna stay standing, though?

00:09:33 --> 00:09:37 Forever. Forever. We're gonna live in here forever?

00:09:37 --> 00:09:42 Forever. We'll all get pretty cold tonight if we don't have any sheets or blankets on our beds.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46 We're gonna sleep in here, though. Forever. Forever.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:52 I see. Well, as long as you don't get any more crazy ideas, we can keep the fort up for tonight.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55 Can we paint it? Yeah. Rainbow. Pink.

00:09:55 --> 00:10:00 Pink paint it. All right. It's time to finish the story of Jericho.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:15 No.
