Scaredy Cat

One day I was watching TV and then I suddenly jumped back onto the couch. It was not because there was something scary on TV. It was because I saw my cat run from the bathroom and up the stairs. Then he went down the stairs again, went under the desk and then came back out. Then he went into the bathroom and tore what was scaring him the very best and why he was running around: a plastic bag!

Funny Music

In music I learned this song called, "The Man on the Moon." It goes like this:

There was man lived in the moon, lived in the moon, lived in the moon
There was man lived in the moon, and his name was Aiken Drum
and he played the big bass fiddle, bass fiddle, bass fiddle

Then I made some new ones:

Funny lunch

Different people like different things. For example, Anthony likes chicken nuggets and I don't. I like ketchup and Anthony doesn't. Anthony likes scary stories, but I don't.

One lunch, Anthony came in talking about monsters and I didn't want to hear him, so I tried to get away from him but he found me anyway.

I said, "Don't talk about monsters or else..."

"Or else what?", said Anthony.

Then I looked at my ketchup and held it up to his face.

"No! Not ketchup!", screetched Anthony.

Ketchup Monster by Mud Monster at Monsterland, with added fangs by mom.

The Trick

Today when Anthony and I went to the bathroom before the bus came at the end of the school day, Anthony threw my backpack further into the bathroom so I'd be late for the bus. Then I got out thinking he was already in the bus, but to my surprise, he was hiding, trying to trick me and he jumped out at me.

Then, on the bus, I played a trick on him. I went behind E.J., one of my friends, and Anthony passed by our seat and he came back and said, "I see you," but I knew that he didn't see me in the first place.

Some other days, on the bus, I play other tricks on Anthony. Like, "Guess what?" Then Anthony says, "What?" and I say, "Made you say something." Sometimes me and Anthony play tricks on E.J. by showing him scary pictures in the books, then he gets so scared he shrieks and then bangs his head on the window.

The Sleepover

Yesterday I had a sleepover with Anthony. It was fun. We played my videogame of miniature golf. Then we tried to go to sleep. In the dark I thought Anthony was turning into an Oompa Loompa. Then we fell asleep with daddy.

Funny recess

Today, when I was at recess we were Space Men. First I started, but I noticed I didn't have anybody to guard the prisoners or anything. Just when I was thinking that, Anthony came up. "Do you want to play Space Men with me?", I said. But before he could answer, a girl who chases us every morning came up, and he took off running!

Then Seth came up. "I want to play with you", he said. So I told him we were playing Space Men and we started playing. But Anthony didn't understand it and he went back and forth in the zipping line thinking that was the ship. Seth wanted a turn, but Anthony didn't let him. I saw what was going on and I explained clearly to Anthony: The big jungle gym, where the steering wheel was, was the main base. We take the zip line to get to the emergency shuttle.

Then Seth started pretending our ship was blowing up, so we took the zip line to the emergency shuttle and then, he pretended the emergency shuttle was blowing up, so we pretended to put on our space suits and took off to a different ship. There we found Cydnee. Then Seth pretended the *other* ship was blowing up and he pretended our main base was rebuilt, so we went to our main base and Cydnee followed us. That's how Cydnee joined in the game. She didn't have anyone to play with, so she joined in and did everything we did. Then Seth noticed Cydnee copying us, "Why are you copying us, Cydnee?", he asked. "I wanted to play too", said Cydnee. "Ok, you can play. We are playing Space Men."

Then Anthony went from the emergency shuttle to the main base where he told me to pretend an alien shot him, and I found him left in green goo. So, I did as I was told. I pretended that it was a long time since he had gone there and I said, "Where is Anthony? It's been such a long time." And I went through the zip line and I pretended he was covered in green goo. Then he got up and pretended he didn't remember what happened, so I told him what I pretended had happened.

Then Tierny came along. She asked if she could play too. Anthony said she couldn't because there was only five players allowed, and I didn't understand him because we only had 3 players. Four is not five. I didn't know Tierny was two people! Maybe the green goo made Anthony forget his Math. I wonder if he knows his money.

Cleaning my room

Today we cleaned my room because a few days ago my sister went in my room looking for a kangaroo and got out all the animals in my toy box -- except for a fish. I did the animals and mommy picked up all the trash that was in my room. Then we did the books. Mommy put the books in order and I gave her the books under my bunk bed. All the poem books were in a group, all the fiction chapter books were in a group, all the non-fiction books were in another group.

To have fun while we cleaned, we invented a comic called, “Andres vs. Tornado Man” and we listened to Buffy: The Musical. I wanted to invent the comic because I wanted to be like Stink: The Incredible Shrinking Kid. So the bad guy was Tornado Man, who tornadoes all around and destroys houses like other regular tornadoes. Tornado Man was my sister, and the toy kangaroo she was looking for was a pet cheetah that went in my toy box and I thought it was a toy cheetah. Then when Tornado Man noticed that his cheetah had not come back, he went and destroyed the whole house looking for his pet. With the help of Mary Poppins and a spoonful of sugar we rebuilt the house.

Spying on Tierny

There is this girl in my class called Tierny. Today, I heard her friend saying, "Let's meet at the same place of last recess." Then Tierny said, "Don't let anyone know." But, I heard her. So, I thought I would figure out what the game Tierny was playing was.

So I went out at recess to spy on her and her friends, but I noticed that I didn't know which place they were meeting, and I remembered that Tierny was still inside. So I hid behind the wall and when Tierny came in front of me, I followed her. I think she thought someone was following her and knew there was someone but didn't know it was me, because she ran. I ran after her. I got around the curve just when I lost sight of her and then I stopped to catch my breath and saw her turning around the corner. I ran to her and peeked at the corner. I saw Tierny, all her friends, and a boy (another one in my class) called Adrian.

Then I started planning how to spy on them around the corner, and I remembered that the wall had holes. But the wall wasn't big enough, so I crawled careful to not step on goat heads (goat heads are these little balls that have two spines like a goats' head) and I peeked through the little holes and saw that they were coming! I ran behind the wall fast before they saw me. Then when they were gone, I went again, crawling carefully to one of the holes. I looked through and I saw that they were doing some kind of races. Then they were coming back the opposite way that they did before. So, I crawled back, reminding myself of the goat heads. But before I finished reminding myself, pop! "Oww!" I stepped on one. I didn't have much time so I stood up and ran. I came behind the wall just before they turned the corner where I was. Then the bell rang. I went in line and noticed it was the last recess and I couldn't spy anymore. So, I had no choice but to ask. They said they were playing Unicorns.

The Crocodile Hunter

Yesterday when I went to school, Seth was running and telling everybody "Croc Man died!" which actually means Crocodile Hunter died. The Crocodile Hunter is this guy on TV who likes animals and things from Australia. When I came back from school the next day, I watched the movie of Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course. It's about when two ships crash and a ball came from outer space and a crocodile ate the ball. So Crocodile Hunter rescues a baby kangaroo, captures some snakes, a bird eating spider, and teaches some poachers a lesson. Along with the big journey where he catches the crocodile, leads him safely home, and gets the ball from him.

The Ferris Wheel

Today we went to the Farmer's Market and we made pinwheels. We decorated paper and folded it into a pin wheel and then pinned it into a pencil eraser. Then we went to get our face painted. My sister was a unicorn and a brown stallion. Mine was a spider hanging from his web. Then a person gave me a sticker of Grim of Frowntown from The Book of Smiletown. We asked her where you find more and she said that we find them at a fair up the creek. There I bought some Maple Yogurt Cheese from the Brown Cow company. It was delicious!

Then we went to the other side of the creek to see what was there. There they read to me The Book of Smiletown and they gave me a sticker of Rilley Smiley. Then we went to the games. I got a ride in the ferris wheel. I was in a yellow basket. In front of me, was a green basket. I made my basket sway back and forth. It was fun. I could see everywhere! Then it was time to go. I wanted to write about that day in my blog, and as you can see, I did.
