Soccer practice

Soccer is fun, but it's so HOT.

Pajama day

2008-05-15T19:58:00.003-04:00

Yay! It's Pajama day. We all got to wear pajamas to school today. Mine were covered with penguins.

My teacher Ms. Halychyn was wearing pajama pants with checkers and dice on them. Ms O'Brien wore pink pajamas. She loves the color pink. She is my favorite teacher. Ms Halychyn is also a great teacher.

I'm playing a computer game with Owen. It's pigs from space on Spy Fox. We like it.

We also went to the school fair last week while mom was in Mexico. We had fun.

letter to Leesa

2008-04-15T20:29:00.001-04:00

Hey Leesa,
Thanks for the pictures. Send us more. Make them bigger like Mom’s.

Do you know we started soccer? We bought gear. Shoes with cleats, socks, shin guards, balls. $39 each kit!

Owen got to play, but my practice got rained out.

I’m going camping this week with the brownies.

Love,
Zoe

Wilmington, NC

2008-03-29T10:33:00.001-04:00

Today we are in Wilmington. I thought we were going to Wisconsin, not Wilmington.

Yesterday we went to the beach it was fun.

We're in a hotel the Holiday Inn. It is not Tricias hotel. Owen keeps looking out the window for the trolley that runs outside Tricia's hotel.

My visit to Boston

2008-01-22T11:27:00.000-05:00

My mom, my brother Owen and I went to Boston. We flew up to New Hampshire. We were very excited to see snow and slush. We played in the slush at the airport. My Aunt Marianne picked us up and drove us to her house. We had fun playing with her two Chihuahua dogs. We slept in her bedroom. I didn’t like the smoke. Then my aunt drove us to the store to buy snow boots. Then she drove us to Boston.

In Boston, we went to the New England Aquarium. Outside there was a tank with sea lions. They were swimming and sitting on rocks. They are so cute. It was fantastic. Amazing turtles and sharks were in the huge tank. There were two divers in the tank feeding the fish. I was scared of the shark eating the divers. They also have penguins. My favorite penguins are the little blue penguin and the chin strap penguin. There is a gift shop where we bought souvenir. I bought a toy penguin and two pencils.

We went to stay with my other Aunt Tricia and Uncle Mick. They have a new baby Ian. He is my cousin. He is very cute and smiles a lot. I got to feed him twice. He’s happy and silly. I love him so much.

I played with my Aunt Leesa in her apartment. She is a lot of fun. She spoils me.

On Sunday, we went to the Children’s Museum with my mom’s friend. We had a long walk in the cold wind in the city. We saw a house from Japan. I got to try to sleep in the futon and try the straw mats. The house was very different. It was tiny compared to our house. We also climbed up a gigantic climbing tower. We played with huge bubbles and golf balls. My mom’s friend bought us nice things at the gift shop. We took the subway. It was very cold outside.

After that my family all went to a pizza restaurant called Bertucci’s. We had a good time and good food. I dipped bread in oil. And we played with dough.

After Bertucci’s, sadly, I crunched my finger in the car door. It was painful. I was howling in pain. Luckily my Aunt Marianne is a nurse. She helped me and I was brave and good. It still hurts now.

That was my visit to Boston.

2007-09-19T18:20:00.000-04:00

We bought three pet mice on Sunday. One white one, one brown one, and one black one. We are happy and sad now. We named them Luna, Brownie, and Darkness. They all were female.

Now, today Darkness died. Why oh why? We're so sad. The pet shop will give us a new Darkness, but we love the dead one.

Well what do you think?

My summer so far

2007-07-08T11:37:00.000-04:00

Tomorrow I'm going to the SportsPlex. It's fun. I have to ice skate and swim.

My mom is making me write cards and letters to practice writing. I hope everyone writes back.

Owen is being a pest. Dad is being mean. Mom is okay today. mostly nice.

My first tick

2007-06-18T21:04:00.000-04:00

Today or yesterday, I got bit by a tick. It was really painful trying to take it out. My mom noticed that the pincher was still in. It took a lot of trying to do it. We think it is all out, but we are not sure. I was very brave. Mom and Dad were very nice to me.
bye,
Zoe

I got a hamster today.
He's so cute.
I LOVE him.
I named him Sam.

They only sell male hamsters. Why? They don't want them to fight over girls. I really wanted a girl. But, they aren't so crazy. All they need is a boy and a girl to mate. That's all.

Play date with Langston

2006-09-30T21:28:00.000-04:00

I had a play date today. I can't wait to tell you about it. And, it was really nice because Langston and I had the same ideas. We both want to play a lot. At lunch time we both ate our whole hot dogs. Once we got to play Sonic on his game cube.

I really want to get a game cube and games.

I then asked my parents for a dog. Dad said no. Mom says maybe.

I got a 84 on my spelling test.

Today Mrs. Schoendorf dressed up as an Indian Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring. I can't believe she has the names of the seasons. We also have a new kid in my class.

I got a 93 on my spelling test today. I think it's good enough. Mom wants 100. She went over all the spelling words with me over and over. But I got one wrong. It was throw. Mrs. Schoendorf thought I put t h h o w. but I didn't. My r did not look like an r. I bunched up my letters. Next week I will write more carefully to get 100. ok?

My new friend at temple also likes Pokemon cards. He's the greatest. I can't wait until he comes over for a play date.

This week I'm in Science camp. We're studying trees. I got to touch a snake for real.

There was a dead snake in my yard. We think Dad chopped his head off with the lawnmower. Very sad and gross.

I love science camp. Next summer I want to do all the same camps again. AND go to Boston too.

maybe I'll fly by myself when I'm eight. I'm almost ready.

Tamagotchi received

2006-07-08T09:23:00.000-04:00

I asked my Grandma for money for my first Tamagotchi. She said YES! She's the best.

So, my daddy bought me one last night. It's great. I'm just learning about how to play with it. Owen is jealous and wants to keep it. Oh man, I should have asked Grandma to buy one for Owen too.

I'm happy with my Tamagotchi.

I really want a Tamagotchi. I'm going to ask everyone to give me one for my birthday.

painting fingernails and toenails

2006-06-29T21:34:00.000-04:00

Mommy and I were painting finger nails tonight. We painted them pink. Mom only did her toes.

We like to do girly things together. We read together almost every night.

We love to hang out together. I even went to knitting group. I liked the crumpets, but didn't like the knitting. I'm not that much of a fan of it yet. When I'm eight I'll be a fan.

ArtCenter and reading

2006-06-24T21:44:00.000-04:00

Monday I am going to daycamp at the Artcenter in Carrboro.

At the artcenter, we make art. I'll post more about it next week. It's really great, but it's not as active as the Sports Plex.

I'm getting ready to go to bed. I brushed my teeth and put on pj's. We read 3 books to Owen. Next, Mom and I are going to read a book together. We usually read every night. Sometimes I want to read past my bedtime. I have a reading light that my mom bought for me. I really love it. I really really love it.

Tomorrow I am going to Kidsplex. It is a summer camp. I will have lots of fun.

They have canoeing, swimming, ice skating, baby pool, outside activities. But there is one thing that is bad. We can't play the video games there.

My baby brother is very nice. He gave my my special blanket. We both love our special blankets. I won't say the special word we use. It's too private and special and embarrassing. I love my special blanket.

My mommy is a very funny fun fun funny.

clap clap clap clap
ha ha ha ha
oh man

oh man my mom is typing everything I say.

My other plans for the summer are going to Artscenter for 4 weeks, 4 weeks at Kidsplex, one week at the Science museum, and one week in Boston! I'm so excited about all of it.

What are you doing this summer?
