Splash Mountain

Image
I went to Disney World with my brother, aunt, uncle, cousins, and grandparents about a month ago. My favorite ride was Splash Mountain. Disney has a camera set up right in the middle of the big drop, and I was laughing so hard at myself. I'm the one in the yellow tee. See why I was embarrassed?

new bear

I got a little bear the other day at my dad's company picnic! He/she is so cute! BUT I still need to decide (A) whether it's a boy or a girl, and (B) what I should name it. I could use a little help. I'd appreciate it! :-) It's a brownish orange-ish color, and it has patches sewn on its right ear and foot, and on the left side of his stomach. Hope that helps! ~SophiaGabrielle

Jensenville

This is my town history that I wrote for school: The town of Jensenville was a little old town that was founded in 1711. The lord of the town was named Sir Smitty Werben Jager Man Jensen III. He was quite a self-centered lord, and always took larger amounts of money from the townspeople then he should have. The town started when a peddler named Jill Smithson stopped to sell her handmade jewelry on Sir Smitty's land . Before long, a farmer with his extra produce stopped too. The two made a trade: a pound of produce for 3 bracelets. After a couple more people stopped to trade back and forth, Jensenville was born. Word of the town got around fast, and before long, there were over 400 people living there. It was decided that since this town was now official, a strong stone wall must be built around it. The townspeople were happy with this new wall, and once other traders knew that this town was now protected, the population grew to 1,200 people almost immediately. Afte...

Rats and Mice

Image
If you have ever seen a rodent scurrying about through your house,  but you aren't sure if it's a rat or a mouse, here are some tips to help determine which it is: Rats are MUCH bigger than mice, and if cornered, it may jump and attack to escape. Mice, however, will back into the corner, for they are much more timid. Rats and mice are never in the same area together. The rats would eat the mice if they knew that the mice were probably going to make it harder to find food. So if mice are in the house, rats probably aren't, and vice versa. The best way to get rid of rodents is to eliminate their food source. If they have no food, they will probably move to a different location ( a field , the woods, some other house, etc.) Here is a picture of a rat: And here is one of a mouse: I would much rather have a mouse. Well, that's it. Thanks for reading! ~Sophie Gabrielle

Greyson's Birthday

Hello! My brother's birthday is TOMORROW !!! He doesn't read this, so I can tell you what I got him: A Buzz Lightyear toy! He has one, but I got him a new one because his old one: Is old and has a few scratches on its face, It's navy and silver, not white, green, blue, and red like the one from the movie , and It DOESN'T HAVE WINGS . Last year, I handmade a teddy bear for him, but he never really played with it. I bought this for him as soon as I saw it at Target in December, so it's been hiding in the attic for about 4-5 months. I am so excited, and can't wait till tomorrow night!! Well, I guess that's all! Bye for now! ~Sophie Gabrielle

Homesickness

Have you ever been homesick? I know I have! During my first sleepover (at someone else's house), my friend fell asleep before I did. So, I just watched Disney Channel on her TV in her bedroom. When I got tired and decided to go to bed, I realized I had left my overnight bag out in the hall. When I went to go get it, the refrigerator started to growl at me. I grabbed the overnight bag and made a run for my friend's bedroom. I was so homesick the rest of the night! But when I finally fell asleep, I  was fine. Oh, I wrote a new poem!! It is called, "Trip to the Clouds". Here it is: I wish that I could fly So high up in the sky, That I could eat the clouds As the planes were passing by. I could share it with the birds As they're passing by in herds, And I'd bring clouds back down to Earth To eat with whey and curds. But maybe it would be a waste, If the clouds should have no taste! And what if, by the hawks, Round and round I should be chased? So I will not mak...

Friends

I am going to tell you how I make friends for a school assignment. If I'm in a new classroom, I typically just wait for an opportunity to join in a conversation with an opinion. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don't. (For the record, I'm not a huge fan of Twilight). For example: Pam: Jacob is way better than Edward! Jill: What do YOU know? YOU haven't even seen "Twilight: Eclipse" yet! Pam: *Gasp*! You SWORE you wouldn't tell! And anyway, I didn't have to. I could tell that Edward was perfect for Bella just by watching New Moon. Sophie: I agree with Pam. Jacob is better. I've seen him in more movies than I have Edward. See? I actually met my friend, Angelica, that way. In fact, this was the topic! She was talking with a friend, I gave her my input, and she agreed! For those of you having a bad day, here's a picture: Go to  http://www.dailycute.net  for more day brighteners! ~Sophie Gabrielle
