Week 5-My Fav & Least Fav Holiday

My favorite holiday has to be Christmas. I love the snow, Christmas trees, decorations and most of all I love watching Christmas movies. I just love everything about it. Last year on Christmas break my sisters and I were outside in the snow. Daniel, Brandon, Brett and our neighbors, Danielle and Morgan, were outside with us. Well Danielle got some new sleds; they were new, top of the line sleds. So I go inside and get our dog's leash. We tied the leash to the sled and we all took turns pulling each other up and down the street. After about an hour we got bored of that. We make a little ramp on the side of the road. We had to get another leash from our house so that two people could pull the sled. Brett was the first one to test it, Brandon and Daniel ran on either side of the sled and pulled him as fast as they could. Danielle and I were pushing Brett from the back. Now there was one little detail that we forgot about. Our mailbox. Brett ran into the ramp, took half of it out and he almost ran into the mailbox. He ducked down at the last minute. We all took turns on the sled after we had fixed then ramp. I flipped off of the sled while I was in the air, Christine flew up 5 feet in the air, and Danielle actually did run into the mailbox. It was a very interesting day, my mom was just thankful that nobody got seriously hurt.
My least favorite holiday would have to be Veterens Day. You don't really do anything on that day. There's a parade but I hardly ever go to it. It just isn't an interesting holiday. A few years ago on Veterens Day I was walking around with my friend, and they were throwing the candy off of the floats. One of the floats was the 3rd grade class. So when we pass the float all of the little third graders throw candy at us. They didn't have like starburst and gum. No, they had jollyranchers, suckers and a bunch of hard candy. Needless to say neither of us was very happy about that. We wanted to throw the candy back at them but we decided that it was too mean to do that. After all, they were only third graders.

Week 4-Do I believe in aliens?

I believe there is other life on other planets because we can't possibly be the only life out of 9 planets in our solar system. Only a few years ago there was a rover on Mars, the rover found some water that led scientists to believe that aliens could've lived on the planet. All over the world people claim to have seen U.F.O.s. That many people couldn't possibly all be lying. They have pictures of the U.F.O.s, most of them are blurry and hazy but a few of them are clear enough to see what was supposed to be the U.F.O. Right now there could be life forms on other planets wondering the same thing as us, if they were the only living things in the universe.

Week 3-If I made the Rules...

If I was in charge I would let myself stay out until curfew or at least until 9:30. I have to be home before dark on weekdays & on weekends. Being home before dark is an unfair rule because as the year goes on the day gets shorter and shorter. It will be around 7:30 and it will be dark. If I made the rules I would not have a certain time that I have to be off the phone or the computer. I would be able to talk all night if I wanted to. Another thing I hate is having to clean up after my sisters. Even when they make a mess I end up cleaning it up. I would love to be able to go more places, be able to go to more friend's houses. Everyone goes off and has fun while I get to go home. Those are the rules that I would change in a second if I could.

Week 2-An Unforgettable Memory

A memory that I always will remember was in 1st grade. I was at my friend, Lindsay's house. Our other friend Kendra was over there too. We were going to go jump on their trampoline and ride their horses. It ended up pouring down rain so we watched some movies and played in their basment. It stopped raining so all three of us looked outside. There was a ditch by their house that was pretty big and it was completly flooded. We came up with the idea to go swimming in it. Lindsay, Kendra and I went inside to beg our moms to let us swim. After many puppy faces, complinmenting and all out begging they let us swim. Kendra and I went upstairs to change into some of Lindsay's shorts because we had jeans on. Once changed we all sprinted down the stairs and ran outside. For the rest of the afternoon Kendra, Lindsay and I swam in the ditch. We slid in the mud, we even made our very own slip n' slide. We all had tons of fun. Afterwards the parents made us stand while they took our pictures. I still have one of the pictures and everytime I look at it i remember that time we went swimming in the ditch.

Week 1-My Most Embarrassing

One of the most embarrassing moments was in third grade. I went on a bike ride with one of my friends & we ended up playing truth or dare. My dare was to run up and down a very steep hill with my pants around my ankles. Well, I try to never back down from a dare. So I agreed to it. Going up the hill was hard enough but coming back down had to be torture. I fell down the hill as I was going down so I half ran, half slid down the hill. After I stopped I got back up; I had dirt everywhere. It was all over my legs, my pants, my shirt. It was only with my friend but I was completely embarrassed. Needless to say when I got home my mom asked me what happened. I just blushed and said that I fell off of my bike.
