Hello everybody! I just got a working iPhone 3GS!!! It’s really exciting! Now, I know I’m really inconsistent with this blogging thing, but I’m trying… ish. Well, I know for sure that I have a couple posts coming up, and now that I have a working phone I can blog anywhere! well, that’s it for now!

Hello everybody! I know I haven’t blogged in what seems like forever, but that’s because I’ve been SUPER busy with school stuff. I have this gigantic report going on. The final copy was do the 5th of February and then I had to present the whole thing to my class with my partner on tuesday. Then, on Friday I have to present it again to all of 4th grade and all the parents of the kids in my class. On top of that I have to do a dance in front of all the parents of 5th grade, and I’m not too excited about my partner. On the bright side, I’m going to go to California for the mid-winter break (I’m SSSSSSOOOOOOOO excited)! I’ll be able to see all of my friends that I haven’t seen since the last time I went to California (which was about 2 years ago)! Also, my mom made this really cool website called Generation Zii, and it’s all about my generation (which is kids 10 years old and under)! It has a bunch of articles about how my generation is born to electronics, how my generation uses awesome lingo (like TTYL and coolio and shnap), and all this other awesome stuff. You can visit it at generationzii.com. Anyway, back to me. We haven’t been getting much snow here in N.Y.C. However, there was this big snow storm coming, and it came! It’s not as bad as they said it would be, but it’s still snowing, so I’m not losing hope of going mega-sleding. Oh, did I mention, I DON’T HAVE ANY SCHOOL TODAY!!! You’re probably wondering why, and the answer is that because of the snow storm! Just because of it Mayor Bloomberg cancelled the entire N.Y.C. public school system. Isn’t it awesome? My class totally freaked out when the announcement was made. It just made my day! Plus, I was having a play date with my friend after school, so I had even more to look forward to. To top all of this off, my mom is in California (LUCKY HER!), so me, my brother, and my dad are almost constantly on the wii, computer, or watching TV and having a blast. Well, that’s all for now. Bye!

Guess what everybody? Dante has a blog! Visit it at dantederivera.com. Bye!

Hello everybody! Guess what!? I got a hair cut! A BIG hair cut. Here’s a pic.

Some of you have probably a lot of you have already seen it, but I just had to put it on my blog. Well, I got to finish my other post I’m working on, so bye!

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!

Here are 2 pics of me & my brother (Dante) incase you haven’t seen us in a while.

The last time I wrote a blog post was a very long time ago. Now I’m going to catch you up with what has happened between that time period. There’s a lot of stuff that happened because me and my brother had spring break during that time.

The first day of spring break, Monday, we went to the rings in Riverside park. The rings are these rings that you swing on and they are very very fun. After we did that, we got sandwiches from Subway and brought them home to eat. When we got home we all ate lunch and then my mom took a nap. While she was taking a nap me and my brother played a really fun game called The Great Dalmuti, but since it needs four players minimum we used our Webkinz to play with us. When my mom woke up we ended the game and my mom started doing laundry since we had so much. About one third into the laundry process they dryer stopped working and wouldn’t read the quarters, then we had a big pile of laundry in the middle of our hallway and we couldn’t do it because of the dryer. That was pretty much it for Monday.

On Tuesday we woke up early to go on a hike with our friends Nathan and Haley. They were staying in a little town called Piermont in upstate New York. On our way there we did the rest of our laundry by stopping at a laundromat. Once we were done with the laundry we started heading over to the apartment that Nathan and Haley were staying at. Once we got there we had lunch. It was chicken, corn, biscuits and fruit. After we ate we headed outside. We didn’t take the car because the the mountain that we were going to hike on was so close. On our way to the mountain we stopped at the park and played for a while. After we were done playing we went to the mountain. We took a shortcut and climbed some. On our way up Haley and her mom accidentally made a big rock fall over! At least it didn’t do any harm. Once everybody was at the to we started heading back to the road. When we were at the top my mom went to the restroom out in the wild, luckily Nathan and Haley’s mom had extra toilet paper packed because she knew about these things. Then we saw some picnic tables and we sat down and each had a little snack. Then me, Dante, Nathan and Haley went out to play. After a while we went to look out of a view spot. You could see the entire town. It was really cool. Then we started heading back. On our way back, I was walking and was really really near to this long curvy line. I wondered what it was but i didn’t have enough time to think. Just then, I STEPPED ON A SNAKE’S HEAD!!!!!! I immediately screamed and jumped back. It was freaky. Then I yelled out “SNAKE! SNAKE!” I ran down the hill. Nathan though i was having a heart attack or something. My mom has a fear of snakes so I was surprised when she said, “Let’s go back and see it.” I didn’t go back and see it until I finally got the courage to do it. It was CREEPY!!! We told the people behind us to move to the other side of the road so they wouldn’t accidentally step on it or anything like that. We told them to pass it on. On our way back I called my dad to tell him about my experience with the snake. Once we got back to the apartment everyone went to the restroom. After we went to our car to drive to a mall. When we got to the mall we had an early dinner and ate at a restaurant called Outback Steakhouse. The kids all had steak and cheese fries. My mom had a hamburger and Christy had shrimp and a salad. Once we finished eating we went to the pet store. We looked at all kinds of dogs. We also saw mice, hamsters, and bunnies. There was one dog in particular that we really really liked. His name was “Chewy Nugget”. We even got to take him out of his cage and get to know his personality a little. Once we were done with the pet store we went to a place called Kid City. It is kind of like Chuck E Cheese. We got to do bumper cars and go to a place where you fight with balls. There were even guns where you put the balls in and you press the button and air shoots them out. Then we went out to get candy before the shops closed. We went to the Ferris Wheel but nobody was there. We went to the Merry Go Round and asked the person running that if the Ferris Wheel was closed and it was so we went on the Merry Go Round. I didn’t go because I didn’t want to get sick. Then we went back to Kid City. Me and Nathan played a motorcycle game. We were going to go on the roller coaster but me and Dante were too afraid. Then I played a spider stepping game while Nathan and Dante played air hockey. Dante had to go to the restroom in the middle of the game so I played for him. Then when the game was finished, Dante played a Bee game and accidentally got zero points. Then we tried the other games they all said out of order and we realized it was closing time so we left. We went out through Target and looked at the toys and Nathan got Pokemon cards but everybody else didn’t get anything. Then we went back to their apartment and dropped them and headed home ourselves.

On Wednesday, we stayed home all morning mostly watching Tuesdays American Idol that we missed. At noon we went to homeschooler “recess” which is playground time for homeschoolers which I go to every Wednesday. We planned to meet our other friends too, Martha and Jasper. We stayed there from noon all the way until about 6. It was a long long day at the park. When we finally got home we watched American Idol results. We found out Carly had gotten voted off. Then we went to bed and that was pretty much it.

to be continued…in another post…this is getting too long.
