Mickey and Me

Halloween with Christian and Mickey













Mickey and I had a blast this weekend! On Saturday, Mickey and I went to my baseball game. Mickey sat in the stands with my dad, mom, and brothers. Mickey cheered for me at bat, at 2nd base, left field, right field, 3rd base, and short stop. During the game, Mickey watched me strike out looking three times. Both teams were short players so I went out to right field and left field to help out. The other team did the same. We played against the A's. Ray was on the other team. We won 6 to 5 in the 6th inning. We are the New York Yankees.



On Halloween we went to my friend John's tackle football game. It was at Tamaques Field. His team is the Lions. John is number 30. Mickey was so excited to be there. My friend Christopher was there and we played while his brother was playing. I watched some of the game. I wanted to see what the QB does. I asked Christopher if they play immediate blitz. Mickey and I had so much fun!

Later in the day Mickey and I went trick or treating. First we went to my neighbors houses. Then we walked down the street to Erin and Jack's houses. After that we went house to house with Mickey. He wanted to devour my candy! We trick or treated with some friends and even hooked up with Tess for a few houses. We all posed for a picture together with Mickey. Then we left and met up with my friends John, Chris, and Jordan. When we were done trick or treating we had about 10 pounds of candy! I've already eaten about a quarter of it. Mickey and I had so much fun this weekend!!!!!!!!!

Joshua's Time With Mickey




I took Mickey to a soccer practice and he sat and watched the game. He never got to play because he was too small and flapped his arms like chicken wings all the time!



I also took Mickey to the Liberty Science Center. My friend Sam Jackman came over to the museum too. Mickey solved a shape puzzle and made a diamond. I put him on my back in his bag and climbed the rock wall.

Here is Mickey smiling!
I found Mickey's height (1' 3"). Small, huh?


Sam, Mickey, and I saw the great, humungous skeleton of a wooly mammoth, and also a baby wooly mammoth that was 40,000 years old.


Then we saw a movie about bugs. A Praying Mantis ate a butterfly at the end of the movie. A Praying Mantis can attack its prey by blocking out the background using the hexagons of its compound eyes.


On Sunday we went to my sister's party and Mickey ate so much cake then burped so loudly that he flew into the air and landed in my arms. When I brought him home I gave him some cheese and he ate it before I could blink... I think he likes cheese!






Here's a photo of him eating the cake and cheese.












I had such a great time with Mickey that I would like to spend another weekend with Mickey again! BYE MICKEY!!!!!!!!

Armen & Mickey: A Busy Weekend!


After school on Friday, I came home with Mickey. I worked on my personal narrative and after we played Super Mario Brothers on Wii. We reached level 2. Good job Mickey! Next, we had soccer practice. Mickey rode with us in our carpool. At practice, he was the loudest one cheering, which encouraged me to score a goal. We beat the C team at practice. It was a long night, we got ready for bed, turned on the lava lamp, which Mickey was very attracted to. He fell asleep staring at the lamp.


On Saturday morning, I went to soccer practice. Mickey stayed home since the field was very muddy. He took a long nap. After soccer, Mickey and I played basketball. Mickey had some basketball issues. Not a good idea to play basketball with a mouse. It was time to go to the Franklin Pumpkin Fair!! Mickey and I had fun winning a fish! We went to play a game like skee ball. I won 4 tickets in one round! I got a bunch of prizes.




Sunday was a very busy day. Mickey and I played basketball. This time Mickey got 9 dunks and he won! The score was 57-2. Mickey improved incredibly. I went to a my swim meet, Mickey stayed home because I didn't want him to get lost. Later, that day I had a soccer game. I was so happy to see my family and Mickey cheering me on the sidelines. I attempted to make a goal, almost made it, but it went right over the net. After a long day, I had dinner, read, and went to bed. Good luck Mickey on your next journey.

Welcome to Mickey Mouse's Adventures with Ethan





























Ethan and Mickey made it home after school excited to have some fun. After a good night sleep,the two of them made their way to soccer practice. Mickey decided to cheer Ethan on the sidelines. Cristan and Josh from class were even there to hang out with Mickey. Soon after soccer ended, we were back in the car for a snack. Mickey even had a bagel and a drink of water.














Then they were on their way to Surgent's for gymnastics team practice. It was so much fun. Ethan put Mickey on the beam to see if he could do a back hand spring. The first try Ethan helped Mickey but the next two tries he did it himself. He was so proud of Mickey ! Two hours of practice later and we were back in the car headed for home.














Then we went to my mom's friends house in Morris Plains with Mickey, my mom, my dad, my brother Paul and my sister Rebecca. Mickey played football. He ran and ran and scored four touchdowns. We had hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner. He was STUFFED ! He made another friend tonight named Blueberry Fluff. My friend Nathaniel brought him to our friends house also to do his assignment. It was dragon that was blue, green and white. He was stuffed from dinner also. We went home late.














Sunday was fun too. Mickey cheered on Ethan's soccer team to a 5-1 victory. Mickey and Ethan were so excited to hear that the Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins last night. We celebrated with a little sparkling soda. Go Yankees !














I am so glad that Mickey had the best time with me this weekend. I hope you have a good time with him on your turn.

Mickey Mouse with Cristian


Cristian and Mickey Mouse on the Sid Fay Soccer Field



On Saturday morning, my dad said "It's time to go to soccer ! ". I took my ball and grabbed Mickey and went to our game at Sid Fay Field in Westfield which is really cool because it's AstroTurf. When the game started, Mickey sat and watched the game with my mom. During the game, four people charged at me but I got the ball away and passed it to one of my teammates. He scored a goal. We won the game 7-0. Mickey was very happy. So happy, in fact, that he wanted to take a picture with the team.


Cristian and Mickey Go To Starbucks





On Sunday night, we wanted hot chocolate so I took Mickey and my Dad with me to Starbucks. We took the hot chocolate home and drank it. It was delicious.

I had fun with Mickey the whole weekend. He sat with me as I ate dinner. He sat next to me when I watched television. He even tried to practice the guitar with me.


Mickey and Cristian Go Swimming






On Monday evening I decided to take Mickey with me and my sister to swimming lessons at the YMCA. The teacher called us to go in the pool. Mickey wanted to go in also. The instructor wouldn't let him in though. (My dad said it's probably because he didn't pay his dues).

After I finished my lesson and got out of the pool we had a fun time and went home. We had a great time with Mickey Mouse.
