Poplar Hill Pumpkin Patch by zizzybaloobahHello readers!

It’s finally that time of year when we all get to dress up as monsters and go trick or treating! Every year I have gone out, but I’m not sure if I am this year because I think I’m getting to old for it. I think this year I’m just going to help my dad with handing out candy. But if I did go, I would be… A raccoon! Just kidding. I would go as a vampire. I think that vampires are my favorite monster(other than a werewolf). Besides, I bet that a werewolf costume would get too hot even if it was cold out(which it usually is where I live).

Other than the dressing up part, I also like to get the candy! All of the delicious chocolates and gummy things to eat! My favorite kind of chocolate bar to get would probably be coffee crisp. I think that they taste really good. If I didn’t get any of those(probably impossible not to get any, but I might not), my other favorite is a kit kat bar. They are also really good.

Where I live, most of the biggest candy bars are given out at a suburb called “Crown Isle”. They pretty much always give out giant candy bars, like the ones you would buy at tills. But still, it’s nice to try to get to as many houses as you can so you have a lot of candy(not too much though, because then you won’t be able to eat it all). Last year I had to throw out most of my candy because I didn’t eat enough of it so it went bad.

What is your favorite holiday? Is yours Halloween? Leave a comment and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can!

7 by mag3737Last  year our teacher asked us to write a post about 7 random facts about us, so we all did. But, this year, my new teacher also asked us to write 7 random facts about us, so I’m going to write 7 new ones(there are a lot of random facts about me). Its always fun to do a post like this because the possibilities could be endless, which just makes it even more fun to write them because you have to decide what 7 facts you would want to include! Here is an entire new batch of them about me, you should compare them to my last 7 random facts post!

  1. My favorite colours are lime green and orange(I like lime green more though)
  2. My favorite kind of ice cream is called gelato(its an Italian ice cream, not quite the same as normal ice cream, but it tastes way better!)
  3. My favorite animal is a monkey(if my Voki and my monkey Jimmy didn’t already give it away)
  4. I’ve had 3 pet dogs(Abby was my first dog who now lives with my mom and sisters, when we had Abby we also bought her brother Blue, but we had to give him away because he had something wrong with his hip and now my dad and I have Jade, a really hyper awesome dog)
  5. I’ve always wanted to go to the Caribbean and just spend a week  or so there relaxing and swimming
  6. I’m really allergic to cats(I sneeze a lot around them, then it turns hard for me to breathe after a while)
  7. I’m writing 7 random facts about me, my favorite number is 7, I’m on number 7 and I’m in grade 7!

My perfect holiday would be in Australia because I think that the warm weather there would be really nice.

I would also want to go to Australia because it has a lot of really cool animals that live there, like kangaroos Koalaand koalas. Kangaroos and koalas are also 2 of my favorite animals. If I went to Australia, I would also probably take surfing lessons because I really want to learn how to surf. It looks really fun, and if I learn to surf I could learn to snowboard(I don’t snowboard, but I know how to ski). On the island where we live there is a place to go skiing and snowboarding called Mount Washington. There are a whole bunch of tracks that you can ski or snowboard down, some of them being more difficult then the others.

I would also just like to wade around in the ocean by Australia, and find seashells. When I go to the beach I love to collect them. I don’t really like when all I can find are broken shells though because they don’t look as nice as normal shells do. I would have to be careful not to step on a stone fish though!

I would also want to visit Sydney because it has a whole bunch of places to go and things to see(maybe the museum?). I would also want to go on one of those tours of the outback.

In conclusion, I think that taking a vacation to Australia would be just awesome.

Hello readers!

During the summer, my blog didn’t have any updates. I was just too busy to do anything on it. But, this year I’m going to keep blogging because my grade 7 teacher is a friend of Mrs. Smith, and she wants to blog throughout the year too!

I’m not going to the same school anymore because I moved closer to a different one. Mrs. Smith suggested that I go into Mrs. Braidwood’s class because Mrs. Braidwood wanted to blog. I’m glad that I got into Mrs. Braidwood’s class because if I didn’t, I probably really wouldn’t have had time at school to write posts and update my blog. Our new blog is called “The Ripple Effect“, and we have already written a few posts on it.

The rest of my class will get their individual blogs probably by the end or middle of October, but I don’t know exactly when they will.
