Mickey with Ben

 It was Friday, October 19 and Mr. Pask said, “Ben it's your turn with Mickey Mouse!”. I was super happy! RING! As soon as I heard the bell I ran to show our new family member to my mom and dad. I have had the chance to see the bigger version of Mickey in Disneyland Paris, but never in my house! I was  excited to introduce Mickey to my family. I just had to made sure my crazy dogs didn't eat him.

I made sure he was comfy so we got him a dog bed. To make sure Mickey did not feel alone he slept on my bed in the dog bed. On our first day together we ate breakfast and sat on the couch and watched I Love Lucy. It was the chocolate factory episode which made us really crave chocolate. Then we chilled in my room until we had to leave for swim. Unfortunately Mickey could not come. To make up for that we decided to take Mickey for a sweet treat.

Since Mickey and I had chocolate on our minds from the I Love Lucy episode, we decided to go one of my favorite stores, Apricot, to get a very special chocolate bar. It is called the pistachio chocolate and it is a homemade chocolate bar with pistachios inside. I first did a taste test with my mom and then we brought it home to share with Mickey. While Mickey was excited, my mom told me that chocolate is only for humans so I enjoyed it on my own while Mickey watched. It was a very special weekend and I’m so happy to I was able to share it with Mickey. I hope he enjoys his travels for the remainder of the 2024-2025 school year.

Sienna and Mickey's Celebration

 On Friday we had Shabbat with Mickey. We had Shabbat dinner at our friend's house. I had so much fun. I lit the Shabbat candles. It was really hot near the candles. I was the oldest kid at the table.The food was very delicious. We had challah and it was very delicious too. I saw 2 family friends.The first is a boy named Ethan. He is 3 years old. My other friend is a girl named Ellie. She is 5 years old. We played some soccer with Mickey.I played some basketball with Mickey.

On Sunday it was my birthday dinner. Every single member of my family made a toast for me. We went to a sushi restaurant. Mickey and my family sang to me .  Mickey and I ate mochi ice cream. He said, "I liked the mochi ice cream." Last, we took family photos (we took the family photos with Mickey).Then everyone went home.

Mickey at Casey's!

 Mickey came home with me for the long weekend! We had so much fun together! 

First, we celebrated the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. We had our whole family over for dinner to celebrate. Mickey helped us cook. We made brisket, chicken, Jello, matzah ball soup, and lots of other things. When we weren't looking, Mickey ate the entire cheese tray! We squeezed 27 people in the same room for dinner. To wrap it up, we had huge ice cream sundaes. 

That same night, Mickey and I watched the Mets win 4-2. You won't believe the noise my great-uncle Joel made when Pete Alonso hit a home run and won it for the Mets! Just so you know, I'm a Mets fan. My grandpa did a 360 in the air when the Mets won. He has been a Mets fan for as long as the Mets have been a team! 

On Saturday, we went to our summer camp for Family Fun Day. We brought Mickey with us, and we painted pumpkins, went canoeing, did an obstacle course, and did archery. Mickey did everything with us except lanyard - he's not the best at lanyard ;) 

On Saturday night, my best friend Jack and I had a sleepover.  First, we went out to dinner at Darby Road with Mickey. Then, we came home and watched a movie and ate candy with Mickey in the basement. Finally, when it was time to go to bed, I put Mickey on my headboard to go to sleep. 

Here is Mickey in my room with my brother Zack and sister Zoe

On Sunday, I brought Mickey into my sister Zoe’s room so that he could visit with his girlfriend Minnie. 

Overally, Mickey and I had a great time together over the long weekend!

  My Time with Mickey

   It was my turn to take Mickey home for the weekend. I was pretty lucky because I got to take him over spring break. I got to take him to London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, when I got there we went to Big Ben. It was like 5,000 times Mickey’s size (Maybe even more.) Every hour and half hour it would ring. The tower itself is actually called the Elizebeth tower. We did not only see it from the ground, we could also see it from the London Eye.

Then, we took Mickey to a pub. I also went to Bath,England and the pub that we went to is the oldest pub in Bath. It was where Charles Dickens drank beer when he was not famous. In the picture Mickey looks like he is enjoying his beer. Those are some things we did at the pub.

We took Mickey to afternoon tea. It was Jurassic themed, there was so much food. There were 3 layers: food,cookies, and sweets. Instead of tea I had hot chocolatte.

That is what I did with Mickey in London.

Mickey Returns to Daphne's House

 I spent my weekend with Mickey Mouse! I had been looking forward to this since the beginning of third grade. The weekend went by fast, but I had a lot of fun hanging with Mickey. I hope Mickey had a hot diggity dog time too! Here are some things we did together.

 

On Friday right after dismissal, I took Mickey to the school playground with my friend. We all played 4-Square. Mickey and his big hands did really well. Then we took a ride downtown to pick up my sister, Olivia. Don’t worry, Mickey was safely buckled next to me. I think Mickey and Olivia are really good pals now.

 

On Saturday, Mickey joined the family by going to my grandparents’ house. We celebrated my mom and cousin’s birthdays. Mickey is a really good singer. He also tried to steal some cake, but I reminded him to stay clean for the next person. Sorry Mickey, you missed out on some delicious desserts. 

 

Finally on our last day together, we worked, relaxed, and played. Mickey read The Boy Who Cried Wolf with me for this month’s reading exploration. We even finished the cover. I hope Mr. Pask doesn’t mind that this is a group project now! A little while after a break, we went outside to play badminton. At the end of the day, Mickey told me, “Oh boy it was a fun weekend!” Toodles!

Mickey at the Ciceros

 Here are a couple of things my family and I did with MIckey. First I took Mickey to my 7:00 am hockey game. I scored a hatrick. A hatrick is when a player scores three goals and people throw hats onto the ice. The game was tied up 5-5 then they scored two goals when I was on the bench. We sadly lost, but I got the game puck.

Then my family went to a Devils game and we had the best time. The Devils played against the Carolina Hurricanes. They are also a good team and so are the Devils. They were so fast, it felt like they could skate over twenty miles per hour. We had so much desert and we got video game socks that are not even close to fitting me. It has my favorite player on the socks, Jack Hughes. We also ran into a friend that was on my old hockey team.

Lastly, my Gaga came to visit. We always have the best time when she comes. I played my first game of Kerplunk. It was really easy in the beginning then it felt like it was impossible to have not that many marbles. Then I went to bed. She told me a funny story. I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open.
