Hello everybody! Today I went shoe shopping with my mom and Dante for tennis. We recently realized I was a size 7 1/2, but when I tried a pair of tennis that were 7 1/2 they were too tight! Then I tried a size 8, and they fit perfectly! Now I have some awesome pink tennis that fit me and will last me a while. Also, Dante wants me to say that he is now a 1, not a 13 1/2. That’s all!

What shoe size are you? Tell me in a comment!

Hello everybody! I just remembered a video that you gotta see. It’s one Dante made and it’s hilarious. It’s just a little video of himself that he made on Photo Booth, but it’s so funny. Here it is:

Hello Everybody! Well, I guess the title gave it away, but we have (or had) a mouse in our house. We’ve had it for a while, but we haven’t known how it got in our house. We’ve had tons of different mouses, but we’ve always thought they have a little mouse house behind the fridge. Now we think all the ones that were behind the fridge we caught, and the ones that have attacked recently have been coming from me and Dante’s room. That’s right, me and Dante’s ROOM. IT’S CRAZY!!!

     

It all started last night when me and Dante were in our room about to go to sleep. Dante got on his bed (the bottom bunk of the bunk bed we share) and I was about to go to the top bed when I saw the mouse run from under Dante’s bed into a hole in the ground! It was the hole that the radiator pipe goes down in. I was so scared I jumped onto Dante’s bed and started screaming “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! THE MOUSE IS IN OUR ROOM!!! THE MOUSE IS IN OUR ROOM!!!” At first Dante didn’t know what I was taking about but when I had started screaming ‘the mouse is in our room: instead of “aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh”, he got the point. Then my dad came and both me and Dante told him what I had seen. To fix this problem, my dad taped up the hole with packing tape and put a glue trap right outside the hole in case the mouse got out or if there is another mouse still in our room.

This morning, there was no mouse evidence at all, and everyone was very happy about that.

Have you had a funny “mouse in the house” story? Tell me a summary of it in a comment!

Hello everybody. 4th of July just passed, and I thought you’d like to know what I did for it. I didn’t celebrate it with kids my age (except Dante… even though he’s not exactly my age), I spent it with 2 couples who go to my church, my mom, my dad, and Dante. They each have one baby boy (the couples), and they are both super cute. I actually mentioned one of the 6 grown-ups in my list of things I like. Her name is Cece and in my list I said I liked being babysat by her. She is very nice.

Well, getting back to the subject, for the actual celebrating we had a barbecue. There were hamburgers, chips and salsa, grilled veggies, hot dogs, coke, orangina, limeade, quinoa, steak, roasted marshmallows, and water. Usually we don’t have all these things under the roof our house… but come on, it was 4th of July. After everyone pitched in at cleaning up the BBQ, we left to see the fireworks.

We left at about 8:30 and the fireworks were supposed to start at 9:00, so we weren’t sure if we were going to see them well, but in the end we did. It was kinda funny how though. At first, we didn’t see or hear anything, and it was after 9:00, so we suspected they were going to start late. After a few minutes though, Jeanie, the other girl, saw some far, far, far away fireworks. They were so far you couldn’t even hear them! We thought we hadn’t walked down far enough. Me and Dante ended up in the front because we’re children and can squeeze to the front. Then, as we were looking at the far, far, far away fireworks, some started right in front of us! It was crazy! We think the small ones were Staten Island’s, and the ones in front of us were the ones we wanted to see. Overall, it was a great BBQ.

I’d love to here about your 4th of July in a comment! It doesn’t have to be long like mine.

Here are some pics:

Hello everyone! Guess what? I played tennis today! It wasn’t a real game, just a free lesson in Central Park, but it was really fun. Dante did it it to, but separately because the age groups were 5-7 and 8-11. I was in one and Dante was in the other. Well, there isn’t much more to say, so bye.

Hello everybody. I’m blogging again. Don’t be upset if me posts aren’t long, because it might be all I have time for. Just if you don’t know, I’m 9.5. Or something like that (my b-day is in Oct.). Well, I will be going back to school in September… I’m not going to be homeschooled anymore.
