I was sick ALL day yesterday. I'm so tired. Don't worry- I'm better now. EVERYONE our family knows had the stomach bug for a while. Everyone got it who came to my brother's 3rd birthday party. Even my mom's friend who wasn't at the party had it. I was on the couch all day, only drinking water and Gatorade, and only eating saltine crackers. I threw up everything I ate, my Pops for breakfast and my apple for "lunch"- just not the 3 animal cookies I had with my saltines.
Ugh, I can't believe it's almost July. The days seem so long during the summer with no homework, recess, or teachers. What should I do? Anybody have any ideas?

Answer
Hi guys. Sorry the answer to the riddle is over due, I have been kind of "busy". So, the answer to the riddle. Yeah, let's get to that.
Brad was a window washer staring into a window he didn't want to clean. So, he opened the window and jumped INTO the building.
Well sorry but I'm tired. That's it for now. CYA.
(CYA= Check ya later)

Fair Day!
Who's been to the San Diego County Fair yet? I have- today! We went with our mom's friend, Asia, and their gang. We went to see Asia's daughter, Penny, dance. She was in 3 dances. They were all so cute! A girl from my school went, too. She and her sister who just graduated from 5th grade were in dances. For lunch, we had Kettle Corn, churros, and corn dogs. After lunch we went to see Bernadette, Asia's mom, and her garden display. They had collections there, and Asia, her husband, Bobby, and her sister, Astra, all entered something. Asia and Astra entered quilts, and Bobby entered his G. I. Joes. There was a quilt club, and they let us make little quilt squares. A nice man had a collection of coins from around the world. He let kids take 2 for free. I got Canadian and Filipino coins.
While my mom's friend and her gang started to leave, our gang was at the sunglasses booth. I had always wanted Ray Bans, and they had those there but for less $. I got a red pair, and at checkout, Mom asked if they had mini Ray Bans for my little brother and sister. They did. My brother got black and my sister got white. We left and were in line to get on the buses back to the Horsepark (which was used as the parking lot) when we saw mom's friend and her gang! They were in line, too. They got on a double decker and were off for Horsepark. I didn't know it, but we got on the same double decker as them! Theirs had come back around to the bus stop- probably because they didn't have enough people. Mom and brother and me and sister split up- me with sister on the top, mom with brother on the bottom with the stroller. We had got up the steps when the first thing I saw was Lethia, Asia's sister in law, and Astra. The first thing I heard was "Hey, you guys made it!" and Penny shouting,"You guys are here!!!" She sat with us on the ride to the horse park.
We went home, told Dad to watch the kids who had fallen asleep, and got in Dad's car to go to Asia's house. Asia was going to have a tote bag making craft at a local library in San Ysidro. Only 1 kid had signed up, but it went from that to having not enough supplies. Asia had buttons, string, a sewing kit, felt, markers, pens, a button maker, a computer, a printer, iron on sheets, an iron, and paper. You could have a picture ready to copy and print, or you could make a design. With my bag, I had big primary color buttons alternating with bright red heart ones. I was also going to scan some pictures from my magazine but we did that at Asia's house. My picture were of Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly, Selena Gomez from Wizards of Waverly Place, and Demi Lovato from Sonny with a Chance and Camp Rock. There was a lady who had a daughter making a bag, and she had wanted to make one, too. She had all her stuff copied and everything, she was ready to have it ironed on, when she DIDN'T HAVE A BAG. So my mom gave her hers. We left the library after everyone's bag was finished. We made buttons at Asia's house. Mine had a cartoon heart on it. I also got some Asia had made, part of her company on Etsy, Toshwerks. Well that's it for now. Bye!

Funny Costco Lady
I was at Costco the other day, and there was this lady that was giving their fruit snacks out as samples. She said something really funny about them: "These fruit snacks are fat-free, gluten-free, and... pretty." They tasted pretty, though.
I got an email last night from my second grade friend, Cora, that moved to Costa Rica in the middle of the 2nd Grade year. She says she's coming here to the US next month. I also got my friend's email yesterday at ballet. She's in 6th Grade and she's really nice. Neither of us will be doing the summer intensive program at ballet, so we won't be seeing each other during the whole summer and we wanted to keep in contact. Now I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... 9 people from school and ballet (and Costa Rica) to keep in contact with. I haven't gotten any emails back from Cora. But I have from my other friend from ballet. I call her Lizzy K. and EK. Well that's all for now, I think I'll add a riddle. The answer will be posted next week, or June 25.
Riddle:
Brad stared through the dirty soot- smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression, he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop from the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

Hey
Hey everyone, about to go to THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! I'm excited. My ballet recital was on Saturday. It went really well. I didn't trip or anything, I didn't make any mistakes in the choreography. My teacher came to see me. She got me flowers. Gotta go!

Breathe, Izzy. Breathe.
Only ONE DAY OF SCHOOL left! I can't believe it. We had fun all day today. Our schedule for today:
4 Mountain Language Problems & 5 Math Problems
Read Aloud- HOOT (we finished it!)
Wordly Wise Hidden Message Puzzle
Recess
Watch Movie- HOOT while eating cheesy popcorn & licorice
(This was when our old student teacher, Mrs. J, came and visited us with Starbursts!)
Some Boys' moms brought pizza from Little Caesar's for lunch.
One brought ice cream & toppings, so we had ice cream sundaes.
We went to lunch before the rest of the 3 - 5 graders (K - 2 have a separate lunch)
Traditional 5th Grade vs. Staff Kickball Game
School's Out!
Sounds pretty fun, huh? Oh, and trust me, that Hidden Message Puzzle was fun. But the hidden message wasn't.

My Funny Friend
There are only two days of school left! But that ain't all I have to say. So whatcha doin', closin' the window? Keep readin'.
Today, I was walking down the street to Dad's car after school, with my friend. She said to me as we came closer to an excercising bike by the curb, "Oooh! An exercise mobile!" She got on it and started pedaling. "This stupid thing's broken," she complained.
"That's 'cause you're pedaling backwards!" I told her. "OH," she said and reversed the motion of her feet. She started to sing,"Exercise mobile, exercise mobile," as I was rolling on the floor laughing. She made me have to pee my pants! And you better be glad I didn't! I'd had a dandelion in my hand but I didn't want it, so I threw toward the ground by her. "Have it," I said, walking to Dad's car. As I climbed in, I heard her say,"Oooh, yay!" She was bending down, grabbing the dandelion. "Bye, Izzy!" She said as Dad and I drove off.
Today we had a Life Science Benchmark test. BOOORING!
Tomorrow we don't have to learn anything at school, just parties and fun.We're going to watch HOOT tomorrow, because Miss O is gonna finish reading it to us tomorrow. Same for Monday. Just parties, fun, and movies. I think we're having a pizza party tomorrow, too.

Hey...
Hey guys, what's up? I'm working on 2 new books, Lucy's Diary and Kristin's Journal. It's like Princess Protection Program, that Disney movie coming out on the 20th. Lucy is a girl coming from a billionaire family, and Kristin is an average girl. They both move to New York, and there they go to Green River Junior High, become friends, and- oops! Can't tell you the rest. You, my friends, will have to find out for yourselves. I will post them here separately, Next week on the 17th, at the least. I have to think a lot about my stories before I can finish them. Well, what now, people, what now? Who out there is excited for the last day of school? I am.

Last Week!
This is the last week of school, except for next Monday. How stupid- last day of school on a Monday! There's a reason, though. If school ends on a Friday, we'd have to go to school a day early or on a holiday. And we don't want THAT, now do we?
You guys should really check out the most ANNOYING page on the web. There are, like, 150 alerts or something, but in the end, it's really cool because they give you the coolest thing ever. Trust me, try it. And when you are done, send the link to ALL of your friends (or enemies) that you want to annoy. That's it for today. But I think I might add a picture. They're up there.

Energy
Tomorrow is World Affairs Day at school, and we're focusing on Energy this year. The fourth graders are going to make a presentation for the first graders. We have to write about renewable and non-renewable resources of energy. First, half the class had to search information on renewable resources of energy, like solar, tidal, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric. I searched Solar. Then I printed out the information, highlighted the most important parts, translated it into first grade friendly words, and wrote it down. Here is what I wrote:
Solar Power has no fuel costs. It is a renewable resource. As long as the Sun exists, its Energy can reach the Earth. Solar Power does not pollute- or poison- the air or water, because the fuels don't blow up. Solar Power can be used to heat: solar ovens, water, heaters for homes, and daylight. The only bad thing about solar heat is that it can't work at night.
What do you guys think? Is it first-grade friendly? Hope you learned something interesting.
Tomorrow is also Tourism Day, where we dress up as tourists for a Spirit Day.
It's only 1 week till my brother's birthday! And also, 1 week and 2 days till his party.

Catchin' Up
I can't believe it's June already. I have been not believing it for the past 3 days now. Gosh, what am I gonna do early in the morning in 1... 2... 3... 12 days? The last day of school is on a Monday. Which is SO stupid! So, catch up on the latest news....
I found a new website. Check it out here.
I just finished the best book ever, Ruby Holler.
I am so excited for the last day of school!!!!!
I got cut by a razor blade Sunday Night. It still kind of stings when I touch it.
On Tuesday, we were playing Capture The Flag during PE. It was Boys vs. Girls. Me and my friend were both trying to tag a guy, and we collided and bumped our heads on each others. I now have a bruise on my forehead and pain in my wrist.
That's it for today. Check out the "McDonald's" and "Chicken Head" articles on the first website. :)
