Still Summer . . . .

When you only have a few weeks left of summer, here is a list of things you should be sure to do before school starts:

• Go see the few summer kid movies that haven't come out yet;
• Have fun with your parents;
• Go bowling;
• Swim as much as you can;
• Build lots of Lego sets;
• Play with your pets;
• Sleep in until 10 a.m. (which I did this morning); 
• Scooter around your neighborood;
• Have lots of playdates with your friend;
• Cuddle up with your mom;
• Read some comic books.

Best Birthday Ever: Best Birthday Weekend EVER!!

What a great weekend!  Sorry I missed a couple of days of tips.  I was too caught up in the best birthday weekend ever.  Here's a quick rundown:

• Friday:  Had sleepover party with friends.  Played game of Survivor.  (Tom was the sole survivor.  I was runner up.  I saved Tom early in the game by giving him my individual immunity and then he won the whole thing!!) Got presents.  (I have a whole set of Lantern Rings now.) Watched a movie. (Bandslam . . . thumbs up.)  Stayed up late.
• Saturday:  Woke up and went swimming with friends. Had playdate with Emil, because he couldn't stay at the sleepover because of his baseball game. Grandma came down and started making my caterpillar costume for Alice in Wonderland.  Ate at Casa Brava . . . thy gave me a sombrero and sang Feliz Cumpleano to me.  Watched Doctor Who . . . big thumbs up.
• Sunday:  Family came to our house for birthday celebration.  Went swimming with my cousins.  Ate lunch.  Got presents (comics, a scooter, and some Legos).  My favorite comic I got was the Absolute Edition of Crisis on Infinite Earths in hardback.  Performed "Ode to Joy" at piano recital . . . thumbs up.  Ate subway . . . a footlong for a nine year old tummy!  Then, watched Survivor finale . . . thumbs up, except I think Sandra shouldn't have won, I wanted Colby or Jerri to win.  I liked Russell, but I didn't want him to win.

What a BIG weekend.

So my last tip for the Best Birthday Ever is make the most of everything you do for your birthday and you'll have a blast like I did!

Not Half as Good as It Used to Be

I love riding scooters.  I had an old one my neighbor gave me.  But, do you know what?  It broke in half yesterday.  Seriously, right in half!

So my tip to you is that, if you like to ride scooters like me, make sure you don't break yours in half by doing sick tricks, like me.

P.S.  That's not me in the picture.  I'm good, but not that good.
