Happy Halloween

Halloween was 4 days ago!!!!!!! I planned to dress up as a vampire this year. A few weeks ago I took out some makeup and started experimenting with it to find out which look makes me appear as a vampire. One part of the makeup was to put on bright red lipstick and then draw two lines out of my mouth to show blood. My little sister was dressing up like a witch.

Halloween was thought to have originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, this celebration was marked by the lighting of large, sacred bonfires and the wearing of costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. It was brought to America by immigrants from Ireland.

Since we decided to give out candy and trick-or-treat at the last minute we did not have any candy, so my dad and sister went to buy some. When they came home they had like 10 huge packs of different candies. Twix, Smarties, Tootsie Rolls, and Airheads. They told my mom and me that there were many people there who also decided to distribute candy at last minute. 

In my neighborhood, many people put candies outside in bowls, zip locks, and halloween bags. A lot of people were outside on their driveways watching trick or treaters while others just left a bowls/tables with a sign saying "take 1" outside. I heard from some of my teachers that in their neighborhood there was a machine that candy was dropped in it, and will come out from an end so the  tick or treater could catch it in a basket. That way there would not be any contact. In the neighborhood it was decided 3:00-7:00 would be the designated trick-or-treating time. We went in a circle around the neighborhood and socially distanced while trick-or-treating. 

I have a bunch of favorite candies...

  • Smarties
  • Skittles
  • All types of Twix
  • Sour Patches
  • Hershey's Cookies and Creme
Feel free to type in the comments below what or if you did for Halloween.

Family Vacation Time

  I love going on vacation don't you? There are so many exciting places to visit, with things to do for every type of person. There are places for people who want to relax or go on an adventure. Below are some places I have traveled, that I would recommend going to! 1. Maldives We went to Maldives last summer and had an amazing time. I experienced a lot of firsts there. I went scuba diving for the first time in my life. Although it was not a full experience(the instructor teaching us held on to our oxygen tanks, to keep us from swimming away), we still saw so many amazing fish. There were so many different shapes and sizes along with colorful coral. We saw schools of fish, and they swam in between us. They were so close I could almost touch them. On top of seeing the sea animals we saw an abandoned shipwreck. It was a smaller sized ship compared to the ones in movies, but it was so cool! Another first I had there was walking on a white sand beach. These beaches are completely ...

Lost in Hollywood

Lost In Hollywood is my favorite book by Cindy Callaghan. Her description of the places Ginger and Payton visited made me feel as if I was there myself. Thirteen-year-old Ginger Carlson feels like she is the only normal one in her family. Her father is an inventor who sells his gadgets online, Mom is obsessed with classic movies, and her brother Grant thinks he is from outer space. Luckily, Ginger has a totally normal BFF, Payton, and they have big plans for the future—they plan to become doctors and open a practice together in a big city. But first, they’re partnering on the state Science Olympics where they’re sure to take home the gold for their eighth grade class with their model of the brain. The Olympics training is interrupted when the Carlson family gets an urgent call that their eccentric Aunt Betty, a former actress who lives in Hollywood, is in serious trouble. The bank is going to take her house unless she can give them the money she owes. The Carlsons head to LA to sort th...
