Granpy Dan's!

I am going to my Grampy Dan's house tonight.  Grampy Dan is my Grandpa.  He has two daughters, my mom and my aunt which is twelve.  He also has a wife named Jen.  Tommorrow we are going to his camp up north.  It is going to be really fun.  We are going to go swimming in an indoor pool, play outside and more!  I am very excited.  I think I am going to have fun.

Ellie's and Wonderland!

I am staying over at my friend Ellie's house tonight.  Tonight I am going to have a subway sandwitch for dinner.  On my sandwitch I am going to have:  turkey,  lettuce, tomato,  cucumbers, onions, green peppers and honey musttard all on 9grian honey oat bread!  They are picking me up at my grandmothers house.
  I know it is a Friday and school is not closed so why am I staying at my grandmothers house?  I am staying here because I am home schooled and my mom has to go to work and I have no where else to go.  I am only 10 so I can't stay home alone. 
    Back to the subject.  After we eat our sandwitches we are going to the movie theatre to see the new Alice in Wonderland directed and newly made by Tim Burtun also creator of the Nightmare Before Christmas,  Coraline and much more!  The person playing the Mad Hatter is non-other than our very own Jonny Depp!  Ann Hathaway is playing the White Queen in it too I think .  I think I am going to have a very nice time.

Another night!

I am staying at the Froula's another night!  I am so excited and happy!  Tell you about it later.

I'm visiting the Froula's!


This is me and the Froula girls!  We are having a REALLY fun time!  I love it.  Hope I have a good rest of the visit!

Update on little brother!

  

This is me and my little brother Arden.  He has a really cute hair line and he was about 11lbs (he is 6 weeks or something).  He is very soft and smells good.  I have read a lot of books to him and he pays attention.  I think when he gets older his favorite color is going to be blue, my favorite color is green.  I also think he is going to have brown eyes like me!  He is the best brother in the world!  Well he is now I can't say he's the best brother in the world in case my mom has another boy.  He is the best brother for now.  I love my little brother!

Hat

I am knitting a blue and pink hat.  It is going to turn out great!  I am supposed to finish it today but I don't think I will.  I think I am going to keep it.  I like to knit because it's fun and gives me something to do.  I am also knitting two scarfs right now.  I am doing a knitting class at the library they are the people who taught me how to knit a hat.  Some day I would like to knit a sweater, if I get good enough I will.

My mom had a baby his name is Arden and he was born on December 27.  He was 6lbs and 9ounces.

I have read a lot of books to him, Make Way For Ducklings, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel and more. 

Hehas a little bath tub that we put in the bath tub that lookscomfortable although, he does not like taking baths he cries prettymuch the whole way through.

He has really cute outfits.  Hehas a snow suit and it is so funny when he's in it because it is so bigand he is so small in it.

He is so cute and the best babybrother ever!  I love when I hold him.  I hope he stays a baby but Idon't think that will happen.

 

Disney

 

    A couple weeks ago I went to Disney.  It was really fun!   

Iwent out to eat a lot of different places.  We went to a restaurantwith a neat dinosaur theme and one with a jungle them.  A couple of themornings we went to Waffle House. 

I went on a plane to get toFlorida.  It was my first plane ride.  The night before I left I was soexcited I couldn't sleep!  The hotel had neat water falls and a bunchof ducks. 

  I love rides especially scary ones.  I went on ascary ride ExpeditionEverest on that ride you go down a big hill, go fast and you go backwards.  My favorite part in Epcot was Ellen's Dream.  It is where youare in a person named Ellen dream.  Where she goes back in time and inthe ocean and other neat places.  My favorite part about Magic Kingdomwas Space Mountain.  It is a ride where you are in a dark place goingreally fast!  The best part about Holly Wood Studios was Tower ofTerror.  It is a ride where you go on an elevator and go up and thendrop down.  My favorite part about Animal Kingdom is ExpeditionEverest.  Which I explained before.  I got a lot of autographs fromDisney characters.   I liked going to Disney!

There are six movies out and the seventh is on the way it is the last movie. It is going to be so long they have to split it into two parts.  Part one of the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is comingout some time in November. The other Harry Potter movies they did nothave to split into two parts.  I own all the movies.

Book Review



A few weeks ago I read a book series called
The Spiderwick Chronicles.  It is about three children who find a book that leads them into a magical world.  In this world they find a lot of magic creatures.  While they are in this world they have to fight an ogre named Molgrath.  The books are by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi. There is a movie that is supposed to be about the books.  It mostly is but it doesn't include everything that the books do.  I like the books better because they have more things in them than the movie.  The plot is the same but most of their adventures are different.  I like the fourth book better than the rest because it has so much more excitement than the others and some parts made me nervous sometimes.  I recommend it to anybody who is looking for something good to read.
