My Blog about what I did on my Three Snow Days

On Monday, my first snow day, I remembered how the weather was that day after hearing Sierra say that that morning. At first, Sierra said we had school, but then she heard Dad say that school was cancelled, then she said that we had no school, and then I went back to bed a bit longer, then when I woke up, we did "nothing" for the day! It was so AWESOME! We also played board games, which was one of my specialties! I bet my brain was thinking: "Maybe I think 42192R940006.1-7B is the code of days school is cancelled just thinking about it!" So I think 42192R940006.1-7B is the code of days school is cancelled just thinking about it also! (I also knew Dad was with us on our snow days!) On Tuesday, my second snow day, Dad beat me three times in a row playing Trouble, and his pops on the Pop-o-Matic bubble were deadly to beat me! I was pretty mad, and I was not very happy at all. But luckily, we played one last game of Trouble, and Dad's last blue peg was approaching the FINISH, just one last space to move, and my last green peg had 4 more spaces to move into the FINISH, and this one pop I watched the die, and it showed 4, and I won! Boy, was I satisfied! Then, that night, Dad and I went to Richmond Hill by the frozen, slushy-iced pond, and I went sledding and had the snow hill all to myself, Dad said. I went sledding down the hill, and feeling the cold air rush past my cold red face. It was just cold. After my first trip down the hill, Dad said we could walk on the pond! I found a clear spot of snow, and I made a snow angel on top of the ice! That was very cute! We stayed at the hill for 30 minutes, and I had a little headache, because I was yelling and shouting excitedly while taking my trips down the hill. Dad couldn't come outside because it was so cold outside for him, and Sierra couldn't come because she wanted to stay home while Dad and I were away. But I had lots of fun sledding! On Wednesday, my third snow day, we went back to the hill with Sierra, and Dad's friend Lori's kids, Austin and Madison, to go sledding again!! After a couple trips down the hill, I saw a big jump someone made out of snow and turned as stiff as the snow on the hill, then I decided to try it! I went off the jump the first time and I fell off the sled, but I wasn't injured, I went off the jump the second time, and I stayed on the sled, but my finger got pinched by the handle on the sled, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I went off the jump the third time, and I went pretty high, and tried to know it was the end, but I landed pretty hard on the ground and ached my back, but after a while it was gonna try to stop aching! In fact I thought about going to the doctor on Friday, because when I jump or sit down with my rear end pounding a chair, I feel it ache more. I thought it'd get worse, but if I go to the doctor as long as they don't drive a needle in my back, then everything would be alright! I wished I had Friday off from school to have a one-school-day week, which would be AWESOME!!

My Blog about Spring

Spring is my favorite warm season! Because there's lots of flowers and trees and the birds, animals, plants and water all come out and have a fun spring time! I always love to play outside in spring! At my mom's new neighborhood, when spring comes, she, my sister, Sierra, and I will be able to play tennis! Guess what else? We'll be able to play tennis in spring, summer and fall! And there's a little playground by the tennis courts! We can play tennis and on the playground all day long in the spring, summer and fall! The birdies would be singing, the wormies would be squirming, and guess what? We'd help the flowers grow! Hey, if we plant seeds all over the whole yard, the yard would be a yard full of flowers--as long as nobody steps on them! That'd be COOL! Spring dresses the world in flowers and rainbows, so it'd make the world look gorgeous!!

My Blog about Chuck E. Cheese's 


My last time I went to Chuck E. Cheese's, I got lots of tickets! I remember that after winning a game by following the instructions and using the right controls and actions at the right time, I get that number of tickets! At the end of the visit, I insert all my tickets into the Ticket Muncher to get cool surprise prizes! All I do is that when I insert tickets, each ticket represents 1 ticket on the little number display. In other words, inserting tickets always lets me punch them, then the machine will crunch the tickets by shredding them up with spinning cylinders. The cylinders shred up all the tickets, and the strips' numbers of tickets count up the number on the display. I hope in the Ticket Blaster I grab the Magic Ticket! The Magic Ticket is worth 1,000 tickets!! For my reserved birthday party, I might grab it! That visit I went there with my dad! Anyway, the Ticket Muncher crunches up all my tickets. When all my tickets are gone, I'll press the big red button to print the receipt, and my receipt always shows me the total number of tickets, and I have a choice to make: I can spend my tickets and cash them in to get AWESOME prizes! Or I can save them, and save them for more tickets to get bigger prizes, maybe one(s) I haven't gotten before! But whatever it is, I always get prizes! Maybe prizes that can be BIG or small, but prizes I get are things I never played with for eternity! I love Chuck E. Cheese's!
