Friday I had a slumber part with Martha and Jasper whom I have talked about before. It was very fun. We made menus of our restaurant service we had at home and an entertainment list . Everybody paid for everything they did with fake monopoly money that we gave them. (The money thing was just for fun). There was this one game that everybody absolutely loved. It was called the Great Dalmuti. It is extremely entertaining in my and my friend’s opinion. We like it so much we played until 11 o’clock at night. The next day after we had breakfast we played again. Fortunately, Martha finally got to be queen which means you win the game in Dalmuti. Martha was so excited because that was the first time she got to be queen. We had such a good time. After we finally stopped playing Dalmuti, Jasper and Dante went to Dante’s room to play an action figure game called Attacktics. Me, Martha and my mom played a typing game. Martha also showed us some cool Hula Hoop moves. At the end, all of us took funny pictures with Photo Booth. Then their parents got here and the sleepover was over and it ended with very happy memories.

I’m not sure if you know what Webkinz is or not so I’ll just tell you. What it is is you buy a stuffed animal with a tag on it in a little plastic envelope saying Webkinz. When you get home you go online and go to www.webkinz.com and you can make your own account and your Webkinz shows online. They have a tag because in the tag because when you get home to make your account you’re gonna need a secret code and the tag has your secret code. Webkinz is really fun because you get to do daily activities. You even have money and you can go mining and get gems and if you find all the gems you get to make a crown and you get to keep it. You can also adopt more Webkinz on the same account. You even get to make a house. You can buy several rooms and put furniture, wallpaper, floors, and you can even get a backyard. In the backyard, you can buy a garden in the W shop (the W shop is the store where you buy all your things in the website). Then when you put in your backyard you can garden and when the fruits and vegetables are ready to harvest you can harvest them and then feed the farm fresh food to your Webkinz. It is really cool. Another thing they have is call Kinzchat. What it is, is you get a cell phone that you can x out when you don’t want it but you can also bring it back by clicking the mini cell phone picture in the bottom right corner. Then you get to make friends, you make them by finding another user that has a Webkinz and typing their user name in your cell phone then when they’re on you can invite them to your house and if they say yes to go to your house then you see their animal in your house. You can also say stuff. You can either ask a question, say something or rap (the music kind) something. They give you about 7-12 choices of each category to choose from. You can also send them home or if you are visiting someone else you can go home yourself. Another thing is the tournament arena. What you do is you go there and pick a game you would like to play then you can either invite one of your friends to play with you if they are online or you can just press the find me an opponent button and then it randomly picks someone who has pressed that button for the same game. Then once the game is finished you can ask them to be your friend. If the other person says yes then he/she will be added to your friends list on your cell phone.

I have three Webkinz of my own. Their names are Miley, Kiwi, and Linda. Miley is a white terrier. She is also a girl. Kiwi is a koala. He is a boy. Linda is a chihuahua. She is a girl. I first got Kiwi as a Christmas present then I got Linda because I wanted more. Then I liked them so much my aunt bought Miley for me as an Easter present. I want more but my mom won’t let me. Hopefully I can get another one sometime. Those of you who have a Webkinz please comment.

This is Kiwi.

This is Linda.

This is Miley.

PS. All the money is called Kinzcash and it is fake and only can be used on their website.

The same day that we baked Spring cookies we had hamburgers for dinner. Mmmm mmm….I love hamburgers! In them they had onions, baby bella mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, spicy mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, and of course some real burger meat on a whole wheat bun. We had them with two of my favorite sides…dill pickles and salt & vinegar chips. They are way better than kid’s menu burgers at restaurants. Boy! I love my family for cooking these. Mmm mm!

Yesterday, me, my mom and my brother baked and decorated Spring cookies. My mom made the dough while we were at our afterschool class and when we came home they were ready to be shaped. We took turns rolling the dough and cutting out shapes. It was really fun. Once the first batch was ready to be decorated we started decorating. I spent one to two hours decorating cookies until I wanted a break. My brother decorated a few cookies and then went on to playing Legos. I was still there decorating cookies until a while on I wanted a break but it wasn’t really a break, it was more like stopping and then my mom finished the rest.

Monday, me and my brother did a fashion show. We picked out clothes from my mom and dad’s closet and put them on. My mom liked some of the outfits so much she even took pictures so that she could wear them. Now I’m her stylist for some days. My aunt was there to see it too. She was visiting our house. Here are some pictures of some of the outfits:

Yesterday at my Easter party with the Willey’s, the Willey’s gave us a Create-A-Bear kit that they did not want. When I came home that evening I immediately started. First I sewed the two sides of the bear…

Unfortunately, I only got to finishing the stuffing and trying to sew the hole up because then I had to go to bed. The next morning I continued. This time my mom helped me sew up the hole and then I got to making the clothes. I ironed stuff that needed to be ironed on and I even decorated with colored glue…

My bear came out to look like this:

Here is her birth certificate:

I like the sweet poem that is shown on the birth certificate.

Note: This writing came from my morning journal today.

Yesterday was Easter. We went to Martha and Jasper’s house (they are our friends). They were hosting and Easter lunch with us and one other family. It was so much fun. I played four games and only finished three of them. I finished Whonu, Apples to Apples, and one other that I don’t know the name of. I did not finish Life Twists and Turns. I think my favorite games in order are 1) Whonu, 2) Life Twists and Turns, 3) Apples to Apples (because I won) and 4) the game I forgot it’s name. For lunch, we had mashed potatoes, bread, macaroni & cheese, ham, salad, quiche, snap peas, brownies and cookies. It was the best Easter ever.

Friday, me and my brother colored Easter eggs.We each had our own coloring kit. Mine was Dudley’s Magic Crayon. Dante’s was Star Wars. We each had a lot of fun and decorated them with stickers. Dante’s had special things (i don’t know what they’re called) that you put around the egg and put them in hot water and then the wrapper shrinks around the egg and looks like a picture is on the egg. It is really cool. Dante even let me have one of them because it was so cool. Here are some pictures of the process:

On Palm Sunday this year we went to church like we usually do. The Sunday school class had a lot of children. The funnest part was that at the end we got to get palm tree branches. Here’s a picture of how we put them in our apartment. They’re on my mom’s sewing basket. As you see, they’re drying up, but I hope they stay until Easter.
