Happy Halloween People!

Happy Halloween! Here is a picture of me on my first Halloween. I was 2 months old.

1) What does a pumpkin sew?
2) What do pumpkins eat at ballgames?
3) What vegetable does a pumpkin turn into when an elephant steps on it?
4) What did one Jack o Lantern say to another?

Answers:
1) A Pumpkin Patch!
2) Pulp Corn.
3) Squash
4) "Cut it out!"

Fever

I went to the doctor today. I have a fever of 102.8. I have to take some medicine. It tastes nasty! He also said that I can't go to school tomorrow and I may go trick or treating but only to a few houses.

I am watching Harry Potter 2- The Chamber of Secrets.

Bye.

Plum Princess

I am going to a Bat Mitzvah party tonight for Sadie and Naomi. It is a Halloween party so you have to dress up. I am a Plum Princess. I am also going to be a Plum Princess for Halloween. I like my dress. It feels fancy.

Red Ribbon Week

We are celebrating Red Ribbon Week at my school this week. The police came to our school with a dog to show us that drugs are bad. The dog sniffed backpacks. One of them was filled with drugs. If the dog showed interest in one it meant that it had drugs in it. The dog found the backpack that had drugs. Drugs can explode your brain.

This week we get to do something different every day to remember how bad drugs are and how much fun it is when you don't take drugs.

Monday: Shine off drugs day: We wore sunglasses
Tuesday: Dreams Can Come True Day: We wore pajamas
Wednesday: (That is today) Give Drugs the SLip Day: We wore slippers
Thursday: Turn your back on drugs day: Backward T-Shirts day
Friday: Lion Pride Day - We get to wear our school colors purple and gold

School Picture

I got my school pictures today. My Tía Ñeca made the shirt for me. She lives in Panamá. My mom told her how she wanted the shirt and my Tía made it. She didn't even need a pattern.

Carving Pumpkins

Today we carved pumpkins.

They are my crazy new pumpkin friends. The silliest one is called "Purr"-PLexed. It means confused. It is a kitty - get it "purr" plexed!

The next crazy friend is Loco Pumpkin. Loco Pumpkin has a missing tooth - like me

The last pumpkin is called Jack.

Pumpkin Patch and Sunday School

I went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday with my Bubbe and my Mommy. We had lots of fun. We went in a corn maze. We almost got lost! I got to take a pony ride too. After that we went home and rested and then we went to Arnav's birthday party. We went to GymStars for the party. I go there for gymnastics class onMonday nights. We did lots of stuff.

Today we had a Sukkah party int he Sukkah for Sukkot at the synagogue. First we had Sunday School and then we went in the Sukkah and shook the lulav and the etrog. After that we got to make sukkahs that we could eat. We made them out of graham crackers, peanut butter, pretzels and candy. It was fun. I got lots of peanut butter on my clothes too. This afternoon my mommy and I are going to carve some pumpkins.

International Festival

Today was the International Festival. I got to see my friend Odalys Perform with her dad's group Vission Latina. She is good. People wanted to buy CD's with her playing the piano.

I also got to see the Panamanian Dancers perform. They are good dancers. They said I can come and learn how to dance with them sometime. They came to my Tio Ruben's house to eat after they danced at the park.

My Journal

Today I found my old, old journal. It is from 2002 and 2003. I didn't write in it a lot. I have about 10 journal entires. My mom wrote them for me on the computer and I traced over them with a marker. I asked my mom if she would put them on my blog so I can have them forever and ever. Maybe more people will read my blog if more if I have more journal entries too. Here is a pitcture of me when I was little and wrote in my old, old journal:

*Note from mommy: Look up the old blogs in the archives section on the right of the blog. I will try to type them all up today.

Fui Al Parque Hoy

Fui al parque hoy con mi amiga Odalys y su hermano Osmany. Comimos y jugabamos ahí. Traje mi scooter y Odalys trajo su helicoptero nuevo. Osmany trajo sus Lego's y una pelota de tennis. Si me porto bien este fin de semana Odalys y yo vamos a ir juntos a mi clase de gimnastica el lunes.

I lost a Tooth

The tooth fairy came last night. I was kind of worried because I didn't sleep in my bed all night long. I slept in my bed and then I went to my mommy's bed. The Tooth fairy came anyway to my bed. I got a letter, a certificate and $5! My mommy said that she is not the Tooth Fairy but I don't believe her.

Today is a Lucky Night

Hi people who are reading my blog. Today is a lucky night. I lost my tooth. I lost my very first tooth! I was watching tv and I felt something wiggly. Then it came out. I am getting a note ready for the tooth fairy. I want to take a picture and post it.

Sunday School

Today is the first day of Sunday School. What I like about Sunday School is that my teacher is nice and that my mom teaches there. I can go into her room before school each week and help her set up. I like to play with my friends there too. Maybe I will take a picture there today and put it on my blog. Bye, I have to get ready to go. Sabina

My haircut

This is a picture of me with my new haircut. I got my hair cut 2 inches shorter than it was.

Second Grade

I like second grade because it is the grade my mama teaches. Second grade is a little hard but sometimes we take repasos de primer grado which are remembering first grade work, like tests. In second grade we come in and sit at our desks. Then we have to sit on the carpet so the teacher can read a book to us. We just finished reading Crisántemo which is Chrysanthemum in English. We are going to read Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse on Monday. After reading time we go to lunch. Then we have recess. When we come in we do matemáticas. Then we do educación física with different teachers each day. After that we go to English class. We do calendario at the end of the day. Then I go to the after school program to do my homework.

I got a hair cut

I am sorry I couldn't post before. We get busy sometimes. I am busy with school and afterschool program and homework and gymnastics.
Yesterday I went to speech for the first time. The speech teacher told me to practice the ts sound like bats. There are other words that have ts too like rats, mats, bats, cats. I can make up words too like plats, prats, mlats, strats and more like that.
Yesterday morning my mom had a meeting so my tio Ruben got to take me to school. My uncle Ruben got me a surprise. He got Mc Donalds for breakfast. I got hot cakes. We ate with his roommate Jesse. Jesse told me about his son Little Jesse. Then I went to school.
After school I went to the after school program and then I started to do my homework but then my mom picked me up for a hair cut. My hair is short now. I will get a picture and show you sometime.
