Hard Writing

For computer lab in school, we are starting to do typing with our fingers on ''home row'' (translation, it means putting our fingers in position on F,D,S,A,J,K,L, and these things,: and ;).  It is so CRAZY HARD!  I'm so used to just looking at the letters and typing them in (I'm very fast, too)!  This kind of helps because, you know, I TYPE on here.  STOP ZOEY!!!!!!  Sorry... it's just that I caught myself not typing the right way. I really hope that SOME MIRACLE will come and make me so good at this type of typing, it will blow the teacher's socks off. Well, wish me luck.

The Latest Thing 

By: Anonymous 

Tom lay on the floor watching TV.  "Be the first in your neighborhood to have one!" The voice on the commercial cried." It's the latest thing in video games!  You'll have hours and hours of fun-no more boring afternoons!  Look for it wherever video games are sold!  Don't wait!  These are selling out fast!"

Tom sighed.  He was saving his money, but this game is so expensive-he'd never have enough.  "One day I'll be rich." he thought, "and I'll never have to wish for anything again".

I am so sorry that I haven't written in SUCH a long time!  I don't want to admit it......but, I kind of forgot about "Crazy Dayz."  I know!  And I'm totally going to make up for it!  My new schedule for now is I'll write on Tuesdays and Thursdays around 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock.  I will still be doing "Weekly Question" but sometimes it'll be a quiz.  Anyways, on Thursday I'm going to be writing some poems I know or wrote on my own.

Home Sweet Home Part 2

''Hi, Anna!''  I said when I got back from Olivia's campsite.  She was sitting criss-cross on a blanket on the grass.  She had a short, thin, pink tube like a telescope.  She also had 4 tubes of paste like stuff in blue, red, yellow and green.  ''Can I try?'' I asked.  ''Sure" Anna said as I started to pick up a stick. 

How to use a pink telescope thing and paste:  1. Put some paste on the pink straw.  2. Blow on the opposite side of the paste.  3. You should have a bubble now, take the bubble off and quickly pinch where there are any air holes. 4. Repeat with different colors. 5. After you're done blowing up your bubbles and pinching them, stick them together and they will look something like this:   

Anna holding our big creation. 

Me pinching the air holes together.

What they look like in the package.

Home Sweet Home

I just got back from camping at Nugget Lake.  Do you ever think about why Nugget Lake is called "Nugget Lake"?  Well, Eric told me.  Here's the story.  Long ago a meteor hit the earth right here at Nugget Lake.  The powerful force caused a wall of solid rocks to slide off of the flat form into a giant hunk of  sharp rock hanging on for dear life (it's call the Under Looks).   The secret, or why it's called Nugget Lake is because when the meteor shriveled up into dust, it left lots and lots of gold nuggets.  Still today folks find gold here.  So that's the story.  At the campground they had an amphitheater. An amphitheater is a regular piece of white cardboard standing up on two pieces wood.  Then you take a projector and you put the movie on the screen.  We watched the movies called "A Dog's Life".  "Grizzly Bears".  And "Some Feet Have Noses".  And do you know what's really weird?  One of my best friends was going camping at the same place!  And do you know how I noticed that she was there?  Well, I was riding down the little hill at top speed, and then boom!  There goes a little girl across the rocky gravel.  I slam on my breaks.  Then I scan her head to toe.  Same hair, same sunglasses,  I saw her wear that dress before, "Ella (her little sister, 6)?" "Zoey?"  Then I look across the road, and I see Olivia.  "Olivia?" "Zoey!" she cried. "I can't believe that we are camping at the same place that's so cool!" she said  "I know! I'll come see you in a few hours." I replied. I turned my bike around.  "See ya!" I called. And I started back towards my campsite.

Part two of ''Home Sweet Home"    

 

             

Camping Trip!

We're going camping!  I'm going with my mom, my dad, John and my doggy, Charlie.  We're also going with our camping buddies- Adults-Eric, Kayna, Scott and Heather.  Kids-Avery, Daikon, Sidney, and Anna.  We're going to blast some fireworks, roast some giant marshmallows, throw water balloons and much, much, more!  The campsite's called Nugget Lake.  We've all got our clothes packed, toys packed, and food packed.  We'll be gone from Wednesday, 4th of July, Friday, Saturday to Sunday.  There's lots of hiking and biking trails, so we're bringing bikes and helmets, and tennis shoes.  It's going to be super-duper fun!  

Summer Vacation!

Hey, guys!  Sorry I haven't been writing lately, but anyway it's: SUMMER VATCATION!  My babysitter's name is Clare.  She's only been babysitting John and I for 7(a week)days.  That's because she went on vacation to Spain and France for 12 days (counting the weekends).  For all the days she has been babysitting for John and I, I learned that Clare is: fun, smart, active, nice, she's really tall, a wonderful baker, she's a cross-country runner, she loves to read and much, much, more!  My new babysitter's name is Britney.  Britney is just like Clare, fun, active, nice, tall, wonderful baker, (she's not a cross-country runner though), and she loves to read.  We play board games, we go on the trampoline, Clare(or Britney) and I do crafts together, we also go to the pool, the park, Mc T's, and the library.  All those things are really fun.  this is going to be a wonderful summer!     

MMMMM!!!! Chocolate - My Favorite!
