Mouse on the Loose

Mickey and I had a blast this weekend! First Mickey and I helped out at the Pumpkin Fair Friday night. We scooped popcorn into bags and washed 75 pumpkins. Mickey got tired of washing pumpkins so we left 10 of them for my mom to finish.

On Saturday morning, Mickey and I went to the Pumpkin Fair. We saw several classmates there. Then Mickey and I played a game to get a fish. We also went in the haunted house. After that we did some arts and crafts and played some more games. Mickey’s favorite thing about arts and crafts was making a creepy claw because he could draw whatever he wanted on it.

Later that day, Mickey went to my swim meet. He watched every event that I was in. I swam freestyle, backstroke, and a freestyle relay. I came in third place in backstroke and freestyle. My relay team finished in first place. Mickey’s favorite event to watch me swim was the freestyle relay.

Saturday night we drove to Connecticut to visit my grandparents. It was a long and rainy trip. When we arrived my aunt, uncle and cousin were there. The next day we went outside to play. Pretty soon it was time to go home. Mickey and I did a lot of fun things this weekend but I know his favorite thing was going to the Pumpkin Fair.

Mickey’s looking forward to having more fun adventures with the class!

Mickey attends a Diwali Celebration

It was a perfect weekend for Mickey to come to my house. Saturday, October 17th was Diwali - the Indian festival of lights. We celebrate Diwali every year this time of year. We woke up early on Saturday morning and got ready for the celebrations in the evening. Mickey and I had breakfast with my Mom and Dad and my sister. In the evening, my Mom and sister lit lots of candles called 'Diya's' around the house to celebrate light. In the evening almost 80 people came to our house for a Diwali party. My friends got to play with Mickey as well. My sister and her friend Layla did a special Indian classical dance and Mickey got to watch.

After dinner, Mickey, my Dad and I and my friends went out to our backyard to light up special fireworks for Diwali. We had sparklers, and fountains and ground wheels and snakes that light up in smoke. It started to rain so we had to go back inside. We then played tag in the basement with my friends. Mickey got to watch that too. Having Mickey come to our Diwali party made it extra special!

Mickey also got to meet his twin in my room! I have a statue of Mickey as Obi Wan Kenobi in my bedroom. We bought the statue when we visited Disney World in 2008. Obi Wan's sabre lights up blue. It may have scared Mickey to see himself as Obi Wan Kenobi.

On Sunday morning, I woke up and had to study and do my Kumon math homework. Mickey got to watch, though he couldn't help. I think he was a little tired from the night before since the Diwali party ended late. So we stayed home and rested. But the weekend was great fun and having Mickey with me made it extra special.

What a Weekend!

Mickey Mouse had a great weekend with me (Alex)! On Friday we went to my friend's hippie birthday party. Look how great he looks wearing my peace scarf. Mickey fell asleep at the beginning of the party. He was upset that he missed the tattoos. :(

On Saturday my cousins, Morgan and Raegan, came from Ohio to visit. They have an exchange student from China named Angel staying with them. They wanted Angel to see the ocean, so we took a ride to the beach. Along the way we played the alphabet game, and Mickey found the most letters. Once we got there Mickey wanted to get his toes wet in the ocean, but I told him that wasn't such a good idea. When it was time to go home Mickey was sad. He sleep on the car ride home.

On Sunday we went to New York to see The Lion King. Morgan, Raegan, Angel, Mickey, Aunt Tami, Mom, Papou, Jack and I all went. Dad stayed home with Ella. First we walked to Times Square. Morgan remembered that she had always wanted to ride the ferris wheel in the big Toys R Us. When we got on, we went straight to the top. Mickey got a little scared when he looked down. So he covered his eyes with his ears.

Next we walked a really, really long time to Dylan's Candy Bar. Mickey was getting kind of bored on the walk, but when we got there, it was worth it. Candy galore! Mickey didn't know what to choose - Gobstoppers, M&M's or giant Dots. In the end, he picked the giant Dots because they came in his 4 favorite flavors - blue raspberry, lemon, cherry and orange.

After a quick lunch of pizza and salad, we all jumped in two different cabs to get to The Lion King. The cabs had to drop us off a few blocks away because there was a big Bolivian parade going on and they couldn't get through. We made it to the theater in the nick of time. We walked in, found our seats and the lights went off. People in animal costumes went right by our seats. Mickey loved the animals! He got scared when Scar came out though. I let Mickey hold my hand. He squeezed so tight that I had to ask him to let go for a minute. Tears were trickling down his face when Simba's dad died. He turned around and said that he couldn't look. At the end, Mickey was clapping the loudest. He really loved the show. All of the walking was worth it! Mickey fell asleep on the ride home from New York.

On Monday, my cousins, aunt and Angel left to go home to Ohio. Mickey was sad to see them go, but he knew it had to happen. The rest of the day was really quiet. Mickey didn't do much but rest up for the week ahead.

My Weekend with Mickey

y weekend with Mickey was really great. When we got home from school on Friday I really wanted to take Mickey to my birthday party
but my mom didn't want him to come because he had to stay home and
babysit my dogs. After the party I had a sleepover with Garret, Vaughn, Jackson and Mickey. Mickey started to watch Abbot &
Costello meet the invisible man but Mickey didn't like that it was in
black and white and he thought it was kind of boring so he went back
into his little blue bag and fell asleep.


The next day me and Mickey said goodbye to the friends that were sleeping over and decided that today we were just going to relax and listen to music
(Mickey really likes the Beatles until it was time for soccer practice. Mickey had
to stay in the car because we thought he couldn't play soccer we were wrong.


The next day I had a soccer game and Mickey was the star of the game.
on his break he met a girl named Minnie Mouse. The score was 3- o. Mickey scored 1. My soccer coach will miss Mickey.


I think Mickey had an awesome weekend with me.
