Mickey's Birthday Packed Weekend







On Friday afternoon Ella had a birthday party for her friend Declan so my friend's mom had to pick us up from school and bring us to the party. When Ella saw Mickey, she yelled "Miccey Mouuu" and gave him a big hug. After Declan's party we had a quiet night at home.

The next morning my cousin, Alyssa, and my Uncle Mike visited from Connecticut to help Ella celebrate her 2nd birthday. Ella's party began at 11am. There was a moon bounce, a play-doh table, a fishing game and a rice table. Mickey thought that the fishing game was a little scary because he was worried that he might fall in the pool, but he really enjoyed the moon bounce. I did too!

As soon as Ella's party was over at 12:30, Jack's baseball team arrived for their end of the season party. Since Jack plays baseball with Rebecca's brother Adam, Rebecca was at the baseball party too. Mickey was so excited to see Rebecca again. My good friend, Kaela was there too. It was so hot, we decided to put our feet in the fishing game left over from Ella's party. Mickey wanted to cool down too, but we told him dipping his feet would ruin his shoes.


When the baseball team hit the road, we had a quick break then we were off to Theresa's 2nd birthday party. Theresa is Ella's first friend and their birthdays are just a day apart. The party was at the town pool. By that time, it was super hot and Mickey really wanted to take a dip. We told him it wasn't a good idea but he could watch by the edge.

Finally the parties were all over. Mickey was exhausted, but our day wasn't done yet. We packed up for the beach and said good-bye to Alyssa and Uncle Mike. Mickey read Goosebumps on the way down. He fell asleep while reading. Then he must have had a nightmare because he woke up screaming. That got Ella going. Try sleeping with a 2 year screaming, "I know Papou; I know Yia Yia". Thanks a lot Mickey!

We spent a quiet day on the beach on Father's Day. For Dad's Father Day gift, I let him read the last few chapters of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow's with me. Mickey got a little scared when Voldemort came into the scene. I just hugged Mickey tight and covered his ears.

Papou, Dad and Mickey covered Ella's and my legs in sand. Then they covered my whole body. Ella didn't want any part of that.






After a day at the beach, Mickey and I had a nice dinner with YiaYia and Papou then enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the bay.













I hope Mickey doesn't wake up screaming for Caroline!


MICKEY AT THE HENDRIX HOUSE, AGAIN!

Mickey Mouse and I started off our time together by eating cheese for an hour! We ate all kinds of cheese like Mozzarella, and Cheddar . Since school is almost over for the year, we don't have any homework tonight. So Mickey and I did some serious TV watching, We watched the show "Ellen". One of the women in the studio audience played in a game show. She won an X-Box, a digital picture frame and a trip for two people to Orlando, Florida. Well, Mickey almost fell off the couch because this is where he lives, Disney World, USA.

Mickey got to spend time with me while we played wiffle ball in the back yard with my two brothers. Mickey got a home run which was great because he was on my team. We didn't keep score but I think we won. My brothers, Christopher and Creighton, thought it was really cool that Mickey could run the bases so fast. We all got tired and came inside for nachos and cheese, of course!

We were all really tired so we went inside to hang out. My brother Creighton was getting ready for his 5th Grade dance for Wilson School graduates. Mickey and I wanted to go but we were told we couldn't because it was just for 5th graders. So, we put on our favorite song "Sweet Caroline" and sang as loud as we could. It was a great afternoon with Mickey -- he is a really cool friend.

I hope you all have a great summer -- I am sure Mickey is tired from all the adventures with our class this year. Just think only 11 weeks and he will meet a whole new class of kids :) Thanks Mr. Pask for all you did for all of us this school year!

Mickey Meets my Baseball Team

When Mickey got home from school with me we had a snack. Mickey refused to eat he said the popcorn had no cheese. So he hid in his little, black, Disney bag. At least I thought he did he snuck out of the bag and ate all the Parmesan cheese.

When me babysitter got to my house I was already done with my homework. So I turned on the TV and the South Africa Uruguay game was on. It was only the last ten minutes though. The score was 2-0 Uruguay. I'm still surprised South Africa hasn't won a game yet! They also have home team advantaged every game. I turned my head to look out the window for 1 second and Mickey screamed GOAL. I guess Mickey was rooting for Uruguay because when I turned my head the score was 3-0 Uruguay. The game was over in another twenty something seconds and Uruguay won.

Then I went outside to throw against my pitch back. When my mom got home I had dinner. After dinner my dad took me to baseball practice.
When we got there we were early. On G-3 we saw Nicky's team playing Union. So I went over to G-3 to see Nicky's game. The game was about to start when my dad started wondering where the rest of the team was. When my dad checked his E-mail the practice was at Tamqeus. So quickly we hopped in the car and drove to practice. Mickey was getting tired so he took a nap on the way to the field.

When we got to the field Matt Bartok was there at the same time. So we weren't too late I told Mickey. When I got into the batting cage the first time Matt held Mickey and my dad took a picture with Mickey but we can't find it. Then I went over to the tee with Mr. Riley. After that I went in the cage three more times.
After practice I went back to Nicky's game with my friends Danye and Charlie. When we got there Westfield was losing 5-2. So we went to the outfield to play jackpot. The final score was 7-4 Union.

When I got home I said went to bed. The next morning I said good bye to Mickey told him I had a great time with him and to be good the new third graders.

P.S Pictures will be coming soon! techincal issues

Matthew and Mickey Reunited

On Thursday, I got to take home Mickey again! When we got home, Mickey wanted to play with my Spy Blaster Trap. It's a machine that shoots balls at you when it senses your motion.We tried jumping over it and running in front of it without getting hit. But still Mickey was shot in the chest.
After Spy Blaster Trap, we decided to play with my marbles. We thought of a game and named it: Bowling With Marbles. The game is just like bowling except a marble is the bowling ball and crayons are the bowling pins. Mickey was not very good at this game. He once tried to hit 9 pins but missed by 2 feet!
While playing with my marbles, I suddenly remembered I didn't do my Daily Reading Homework. I decided to read a chapter to Mickey. The chapter was called Felix Felicis from book: Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.It was about Harry putting Felix Felicis, a lucky charm, into Ron's Pumpkin juice so they could win the coming Quidditch Match. Eventually, they did. Mickey loved the book.
It was the end of the day and I had a blast with Mickey. I hope everybody did, too

Mickey + Josh = fun (:


ickey had a really good time at my house on Tuesday. When got to my house I went upstairs to do my homework. Then I went to watch some TV until my mom reminded me that Nomahegan was open during the week now. I went upstairs to put my bathing suit on and then we left for the pool (I didn't forget to bring Mickey). We ate dinner there and then I went in the pool. After that Mickey wanted to watch more TV so we saw a Fifa soccer match and then we watched some cartoons. Mickey saw ninjas on one of the cartoons and he decided that he wanted to be one too. Mickey and I went up to my room for Mickey's ninja training. Then he thought he was ready for his fight. I told him that I thought so too and that he could probably beat Spongebob. Mickey wanted to stretch before the battle so he did.

Then it was time for round one. Spongebob tried to trick Mickey but Mickey was to smart. Then Mickey flipped and karate chopped spongebob in the face.
Justify Full

Round two: Mickey's stretching really payed off because then he did a split on top of Spongebob for the end of round two.


Round 3: Mickey kicked Spongebob off of my bed and onto the floor. †hen he jumped on Spongebob to win the match!



Mickey got really tired of all the fighting so he wanted to take a nap. But he couldn't sleep because then I had a guitar lesson and the volume on my amplifier was up all the way. After my lesson I started to practice but then Mickey came into my basement and said that he wanted to try to play. He is pretty good at guitar.


After Mickey learned how to jam on the guitar he said he was tired so we went to bed early that night. Then Mickey told me that he was hungry but I just told him to wait until the morning.
In the morning Mickey wanted some cheese so I went to get some. While I was looking for cheese Mickey sat on the kitchen table and tried to solve a Rubix' Cube. He wasn't very successful.

Then I found the cheese and brought it to him to see if he liked it. He loved it!

Then I went to type this blog and Mickey went on the computer too.

Mickey Mouse with Sofia...AGAIN!!!


























WHEN MICKEY GOT INTO MY HOUSE, HE JUMPED OUT OF HIS BAG AND LOOKED IN THE REFRIGERATOR. I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW WHY AT FIRST, BUT THEN I ASKED ANYWAY.

"MICKEY, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING IN THE FRIDGE?" I ASKED.

"FOR SOME CHEESE, DUH!"
WE HAD A SNACK OF OREOS AND SPRAY CHEESE, AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR OUR TENNIS LESSON. WE WENT TO WESTFIELD INDOOR TENNIS CLUB. MICKEY HIT A FEW SHOTS, BUT THEN THE RACQUET FELL ON TOP OF HIM SO HE DECIDED TO WATCH FROM THE WINDOW.

ON THE WAY HOME HE GOT HUNGRY FOR ANOTHER SNACK. MY MOM GAVE HIM A BAG OF GOLDFISH. HE SAID HE WANTED MORE SPRAY CHEESE, BUT THE GOLDFISH WOULD DO.
WHEN WE GOT HOME, MY FAMILY NOTICED A GROSS ODOR LURKING IN THE HOUSE. EVERYONE WONDERED WHAT IT WAS. WE SOON REALIZED IT WAS MICKEY THAT SMELLED. IT SMELLED LIKE HE JUMPED IN A POOL OF ROTTEN COTTAGE CHEESE AND DIDN'T SHOWER AFTER. GROSS! WE THREW HIM IN THE SHOWER PRONTO AND TURNED ON THE WATER. HE ASKED FOR L'OREAL SHAMPOO FOR MICE, BUT HE SETTLED FOR OUR DOVE LAVENDER SMELLING SHAMPOO. WHEN HE CAME OUT HE WAS SQUEAKY CLEAN, LITERALLY!
AFTER A NICE SHOWER AND A GOOD BOOK, HE WAS GETTING TIRED. WE WENT TO SLEEP IN MY ROOM.
WE WOKE UP AT 7AM, GOT DRESSED, BRUSHED OUR TEETH AND HAIR, AND RAN DOWN FOR BREAKFAST. HE ASKED FOR CHEESY PUFFS, BUT WE GAVE HIM COCOA PUFFS INSTEAD. HE ATE THE WHOLE BOWL, THEN GRABBED A SLICE OF SWISS CHEESE. BEFORE MY FAMILY CAME DOWN, MICKEY AND I PLAYED MARIO KART Wii AND I BEAT HIM BY A TAIL.
WE WALKED TO SCHOOL AND HE ADMIRED A NEARBY SQUIRREL EATING A NUT. I PROMISED TO GIVE HIM NUTS NEXT TIME HE STAYS OVER. MICKEY AND I HAD A GREAT TIME TOGETHER AND I HOPE THE NEXT PERSON DOES TOO.=-)

Mickey's Weird Night!

When Mickey got out of school with me, it was pouring rain. He was in his bag that kept him dry. Mary let me come under her umbrella while Mickey was saying,"I want to be in a warm house. Get me out of here." Finally, I was on my walk home with Mickey and the the rain was slowing down.
I got home, had a quick snack and played with my brother's guinea pig (Speedy) with Mickey. At first Speedy was a little scared to see Mickey but then he got used to it. Mickey on the other hand was very excited to see Speedy. Mickey wanted to pet Speedy, but I told him no because Speedy had germs and you ALWAYS have to wash your hands after you play with Speedy.
Next, Mickey had to get in my car because I had an orthodontist appointment. When I got there I had to sign in. Then they called my name. Mickey was a little scared to go in since he would see lots of open mouths. When I sat down I opened my mouth and I almost bit my orthodontist. Mickey tried to run away but my mom caught him just in time.
After my orthodontist appointment my family went to 5 Guys to get dinner. We brought it home and when I was getting in my car I saw Mr. Geyer. At first Mickey didn't know who he was but then I told him he was my music teacher. When I got home I had my cheeseburger, but Mickey snuck into my fridge and got the cheese and he ate it!
After dinner I had to finish up my homework while Mickey was waiting for me on the couch. Once I finished I walked upstairs with Mickey and got dressed in pj's. I brushed my teeth and I read because I had a few minutes before I had to go to bed.
Finally Mickey told me he wanted to go to bed and my mom told me it was time too. I made Mickey a bed to sleep in and then we fell asleep.
I hope Jai has an awesome weekend with Mickey!

Mickey mouse.....in my house?!

When I got out of school Mickey was so happy to see me. It was raining when we got out of school. My brother, Mickey and me went to the usual place where we usually get picked up by our mom but guess what, she wasn't there! Mickey got a little scared. We went back to the school and went to the office. We asked Mrs. Whitehead if she could call our mom. Right when Mrs. Whitehead was going to call her we saw our mom walking into the building. Mickey was so glad to see her. Our mom explained that she got a rental car the day because something went wrong with her car. She basically said we didn't recognize her. We got into the rental car drove home. When we got home we had dinner. We were having pasta. Mickey wanted extra cheese. After dinner we watched some t.v., then we had to go to sleep. I had a great time with Mickey but now it is time for him to drive with Minnie to Abby's house!Minnie And Mickey

Mickey’s Time With Me




Today was my turn with Mickey Mouse. Right when I got out of school I told him I had few things that we could do. He chose going to my sister's Bridging Ceremony (my sister is moving from a Daisy to a Brownie), play outside, and play Wii.

The Bridging Ceremony was at the Franklin playground. My friend Emmie, Mickey, and I were in charge of handing out the membership pins because we were Brownies (well, not Mickey). It was a lot of fun! Afterward we had snacks. My mom brought brownies and the other leader brought ice cream. Mickey had 3 brownies and 4 scoops of ice cream. Later we started to play on the blacktop. I played with a boy named Aidan. We played knock out and 2 squares. Soon it was time to leave.

When we got home I started my homework. As soon as I was finished Mickey and I went outside. We saw my neighbor Kathy and her granddaughter Elizabeth. She is so cute. Mickey thought so too. He went on the swing with her then down the slide. After a while we decided to go inside to play Wii. Mickey tried snow boarding and broke my record. I can’t believe it!! It was a blast!

Mickey and I had such great time together today. The only problem was it was way too short! I’m sure Mickey will have fun tomorrow with Nicky.









Mickey's Big Weekend!


On Saturday, I woke up really early. My mom was the only one up.(Besides me.) We decided to go on a bike ride. While we were riding we saw a garage sale.My mom said to stop and we bought a lot of things, like a ball rack.When we got home, my mom thought there were going to be thunderstorms that day.So we didn't do anything. But, it started to get sunny and really hot outside. My brother and I went outside to have a water gun fight. I asked Mickey if he wanted to come too. He replied with a groan. After our water gun fight, I had to go to my brother's baseball game. I went only to the end of the game. I also saw Jeremy and my friend, Meghan. On Sunday, I got up and watched some T.V. I forgot that I was going to two pools today. My mom told me I could get in my swim suit when ever I wanted to. In the morning, I went to Plainfield. In the afternoon, I went to Memorial. I saw my cousins at Plainfield, and my friends, Oliva and Samantha at Memorial. Later on, I had a Softball game. It was my last game. After the game, I went to Mary's house. She was having a softball party for our team. I saw Leah and my other friend Ierland. It was an awesome weekend! I hope Mary has as much fun with Mickey as I did!

What a day!!!

When Mickey came home with me on Wednesday, I went straight to my homework. I gave Mickey a sheet to write on. He just sat there and didn't draw or write anything on his paper. Then we watched some TV and I got ready for my baseball practice. We had dinner and left the house to go to my brothers' baseball practice. He plays for the Defenders.
After the Defenders practice, we went to Tamaques Park for my practice. When I got there, I saw that we were having a scrimmage versus the Brewers. I got to pitch and had 2 strike outs and gave up 1 hit in 1 inning of work. After my practice, we went home and watched the Flyers game. Mickey was afraid of the rough hockey players, so he hid underneath the couch. After the first period, we went to bed. The next morning, I was tired from watching the hockey game and we were almost was late for school. Mickey was excited that the Flyers won 5-4 in OT and screamed in my ear,'' I WANT CHEESE NOW!!!!!!!'' I got him some cheese.
I had a great day with Mickey and I hope he does not steal anyone's cheese. Plus Mickey is now a big time Flyers fan and Phillies fan.

Mickey at the Mastronardi's

I had a wonderful time with Mickey. Mickey came home with us and got to see my dog Teddy again. He took a piggy back ride on Teddy. My cousin Lea came over and we went with her to Barnes and Noble book store. Mickey liked looking at all of the books, especially the Disney ones. We even saw Mrs. Esposito there with her two sons. After looking at the books we went to the Starbucks in the book store. Then Mickey came with me when I went to get my haircut with my brother Jake. There was a little dog in the hair salon. She was a Chihuahua and Terrier mix. She was so cute running all around with Mickey. Then we went home I finished my homework and we went to bed.

Mickey's Memorial Day Weekend

To start off my weekend with Mickey, Rebecca came over and we played some volleyball, with Mickey on the sidelines cheering us on. I brought Dash outside and we let him climb a tree in my back yard. Mickey wanted to climb the tree too, but I stopped him just in time. Nothing worse than a mouse stuck in a tree you know. When Rebecca went home, Mickey and I played some volleyball together.

On Saturday, Jacqueline, Mickey and I went roller blading. Mickey's feet were too small for the roller blades, so I carried him on my back. Finally, I was hot, so we rested under the big tree in my front yard.


Sunday was BEACH DAY! Micky was so excited he waited by the car for 45 minutes while we got ready to go. My father closed him in the trunk by accident, but after Micky banged on the trunk lid for a bit, the trunk was opened and we were on our way.


When we got to the beach, we were afraid that Mickey might need a beach badge, so we smuggled him onto the beach in my mom's beach bag! Mickey couldn't find a good place to rest, so he decided to sit up on top of the umbrella! He had a strange fascination with a red plastic shovel that he would not let go of. Mice do the strangest things. Mickey was hot up there, so he climbed down and we gave him a seat. We asked him which towel he wanted, and he said he wanted the Micky Mouse towel, of course!

On Memorial Day, we went to my grandparents house, had a few snacks, and played some hide and seek. Mickey was a good hider and we couldn't find him for awhile, and we found him disguised as an oversized chipmunk behind a large bush. My granfather began to play patriotic music on his stereo. I think Mickey liked the music so he pulled an American flag out of the ground and I picked him up, gave him a big hug, and wished him a happy Memorial Day.
