April Fool... From The Easter Bunny

April Fool! As you know Easter was on April 1st. So I got a very nervous, because the Easter Bunny might not have come.☹️☹️ Luckily he did!

 I was starting to think that the Easter Bunny didn't come when... "Aanya, come look what I found" My dad had found the first clue. The Easter Bunny hid clues in our home to find the prizes. We followed  the clues and we wounded up in our garage. There were the prizes! I got so excited and dropped two boxes!
(50% they were heavy and 50% I was so happy)

 There were 4 prizes, one each for my mom, dad, sister and me. In my prize box I got chocolate coins, chocolate eggs, tic-tacs, Nutella with breadsticks, a new loofah and two packs of ramen noodles.πŸ˜‹

When we all finished showing each other our prizes we had breakfast. My mom made some egg casserole and sausages. It was really yummy!❤️ Once my sister and I had finished breakfast we went upstairs and watched a movie called The Road To El Dorado.πŸŽ₯ I thought the funniest part was when the character Miguel cut some vines to go onto the path but... there was a giant rock instead. While we were watching we had some of our chocolates.

 The movie had almost finished when I wanted to watch something else. I wanted to stop watching the movie because I already knew the ending, so it wasn't very exciting. My sister turned off the TV and we watched separate shows. I watched a show on Netflix called Lost And Found Music Studios.

Lost And Found is about some teenagers who learn and record songs. I am currently on the last episode. I strongly suggest that you watch it next time you are on your iPad, phone, TV or any electronic device that has Netflix.

Well, that was my Easter Sunday. Make sure you read my next blog about my first day back at school after my Spring Break. Tell me in the comments how your first day back to school was. Thanks for reading! Bye!!

Peter Rabbit...The Movie

Hi! Today's post topic is pretty obvious, isn't it? Well, just in case you haven't figured it out yet, I am going to be talking about the movie, Peter Rabbit. I watched the movie with some of my friends from Girl Guides. It was a very funny film, even though there were some sad parts in it.

! WARNING!
SPOILER ALERT

If you haven't watched Peter Rabbit, then this post contains spoilers!😲😲😲 So, please be aware of that.

Well, now that that's taken care of, I can talk about the main storyline of the film.  Peter and his family used to live in a burrow where it was easy to get food nearby, but then Mr. McGregor bought the land, built a house and garden, where lots of beautiful vegetables grew, and then closed it off with a gate!  As the food around them got over, Peter's family were hungry but they could not get anything from the garden which was full of things for them to eat.  😱

Peter's dad always told the children to not go into the garden but would always go in himself to get food for his family.  One day, Mr. McGregor caught Peter's dad and cooked him into a rabbit pie!  Peter was the oldest and inherited his father's blue jacket. This was one of the parts where I felt sad.

When their mother died, Peter became the head of the family, and he would usually do crazy things with his cousin Benjamin.  All of the plans involved sneaking into the garden and stealing vegetables.  Peter would also use his sisters to be lookouts for him while he got the food.   Mr. McGregor was always trying to catch Peter and eat another rabbit pie, but luckily his neighbour, Bea, was a very kind-hearted woman who loved the Rabbit family.  She always protected Peter and his siblings.  It wasn't very long into the movie when horrible Mr. McGregor died.  

So, that's how the movie began! My favourite parts of the movie were any scene that had the triplets in it; the doorknobs that were wired with electricity; and the slow-motion rabbit walk.  What were your favourite parts?  Tell me in the Comments, and we can talk more about them.

At the theatre today, I also saw trailers for some very cool movies that are going to come out...Sherlock Gnomes, The Grinch, Hotel Transylvania 3, and The Incredibles 2.  I can't wait to watch all of them.

Thanks for reading, remember to tell me your favourite parts of Peter Rabbit, and see you guys next week!

Bye!!!  πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹

Game On!

Hello! I am back for another post. This post is going to be about online games! You might have found that out by the name of today's post. In this post I will be talking about some websites that I love to play games on. There are 4 websites that I am going to talk about.

The first website is named Flipline Studios. This website only has Papa Louie Arcade games. The game that I am currently playing is named Papa Louie's Pastaria. A funny thing that I have noticed is that all of the Papa's games end in "ia"! 🀣 Pretty funny right? Now I think that it is time for me to give you a description of the game.

Customers come to the store and order a pasta dish. You then cook the pasta and make some brad on the side. You need to make sure that you add all of the toppings that they want. After you have made the dish you will be judged by the customer. That is really all there is to the game! So, on to next website!

The second website that I like playing games on is named Best Games.Com. The games they have on the website are pretty spectacular! The game that I play the most is called Piano Tiles! You guys might have already heard of this game but I will explain it anyway. Basically you need to tap the black tiles to play a song, the speed increases while you play.

If you hit the white tiles you lose the game, it is also a never-ending game! The highest score that I have gotten Is 108 points. I am not that good at this game.😐 This brings us to website number 3.

Website 3 is named Kizi.Com! There are a lot of different genres of games on Kizi. The game that I love to play on kizi is called Motor X3M! This game made me zone out! The game is a obstacle course that you go through while on a Motorcycle. The controls for this game are all of the arrows.

CONTROLS
up arrow--- forward
down arrow--- breaks
right arrow--- tip right
left arrow--- tip left
See, the controls are easy peasy!😏 Now the last website!!

Website Cuatro (4) is Sleepy Arcade.Com. This website is amazing, the game that I love to play is Geometry Dash! In this game you need to jump over the gaps and spikes! 😲 To jump all you need to do is tap or press space to jump! This is the easiestt game that I have played on Sleepy Arcade.Com!

There isn't much more to talk about today, if you have any suggestions for websites I should visit please tell me in the Comments! Hope you enjoyed this post! See you next week! BYE!!!       

Mom, It's So Itchy!

Hi! Today's blog post is going to be about my competitive dance dress rehearsal. 🎡 A dress rehearsal is basically a run through of the whole dance, with costume and make up. This was my dance order schedule for rehearsal:

DANCE ORDER FOR REHEARSAL
1. Happy Feet
2. Who Let The Frogs Out
3. Chase Is On The Case
4. Pool Patterns 
5. Finding My Chi 
next day
1. Think
You can probably tell that I was really tired after all that dancing! πŸ’ƒ=πŸ˜‘ (I made a emoji story!) Anyway back to the blog... Think is the tap solo that I talked about in my post titled Freedom(x3). 

I'm going to guess that you are thinking this: What type of dance goes with which title? 
Did I just read your mind?  Whether you thought that or not, I am going to tell you, anyway!

1. Happy Feet --- Tap
2. Who Let The Frogs Out --- Jazz
3. Chase Is On The Case --- Hip Hop
4. Pool Patterns --- Ballet
5. Finding My Chi --- Musical Theatre
6. Think --- Tap Solo

So now that you have your answer, it's time to tell you about the thing that is so itchy... The Costumes!

For Tap, we have a black and white penguin bodysuit with a bow tie, and black tights.
For Jazz, we have a green sparkly dress that has a necklace sewn onto it, and we also have beige tights.
For Hip Hop, we have brown baggy pants, a golden and white crop top, a blue sequined bomber jacket, a hat, and a collar.
For Ballet, we have an old-fashioned swimsuit and a swimming cap! It is so cute.
For Musical Theatre, we have a long white tank-top and a baggy black pair of overalls.
Finally, my favourite costume! For my solo, I have a sparkly top with black pants, fingerless gloves and a blue vest!  It also has a matching scrunchie.

With all these sparkly costumes, you can imagine how itchy the sequins are! In my solo, there is one move where I spin my head around, and my high ponytail braid spun around too, and looked so cool! Now that dress rehearsal is over, I am so excited to perform these dances in front of the judges with the rest of my team.  We have all been working very hard for quite a while now.

Before I end, here is a question for you...how many competitions do you think I will be dancing in this year?  Please put your guess in the comments.

See you next week!πŸ™ˆπŸ™‰

Dance Competitions Are Hard to Practice For (Groan!)

Helloooo! I am so excited for April and May. Can you guess why? Here, I'll give you a hint: competitive dancing! Yep, you guessed it - my competitions are in April and May.

This year my dance studio is doing 4 competitions! I do not know the names of the competitions, but I am just as excited. Absolute Dance usually competes in 3 competitions but, this year they had a vote and the majority of the kids said they wanted to do 4. I voted to do 4, my friends did too, but... my friends and I kind of forgot that we are not in the Novice (easy) competition any more!😟😧😟

Just in case you don't know the levels of dance competitions, they are -

LEVELS AND NAMES

Novice= Easy
Junior= Normal
Intermediate= Hard
Advanced= Really hard!!
The thing is, the level names keep changing for each competition! These were the levels from the last competition, but I have a feeling they will change.πŸš«πŸ™… 

I think that it is about time I tell you about all my dances.
I have 6 dances to perform, including a solo! 2 tap, 1 hip hop, 1 ballet, 1 jazz and 1 musical theatre. I know most of the names of my dances but the ones that I do not I will just say what they are about.

Tap Solo= Think
Tap= Happy Feet themed 
Hip Hop= Paw Patrol themed
Ballet= Synchronized Swimming themed
Jazz= Who Let The Frogs Out
Musical Theatre= Kung Fu Panda themed

I am so excited for my competitions and my team and I are doing the daily grind of practicing the choreography  . I can't wait to see how it goes, I'll tell you all about it in the spring and see you next week!

Winter Carnival

This blog post is going to be about the Winter Carnival.  This is an event that takes place at my before and after school care every year, either in January or Febuary. This is a fundraiser for the 9-12's Club. My out of school care is for kids from Grades K-6. The kids from Grades K-3 are called The Chinchillas, and those of us in Grades 4-6 are part of the 9-12s Club. That is because the kids who are in Grades 4-6 are between the ages of 9 and 12! 

This year the Winter Carnival is on January 26th. As the name suggests, the games need to be winter themed, such as snowflakes, snowmen and penguins. The carnival is put on by the 9-12s for The Chinchillas.

This is the way the event works...the younger children bring dimes and play games. Each game costs 1 dime and they can play as many times as they want but only if they go to the back of the line. When they get back to the front of the line and it's their turn, they need to pay 1 dime again to play. A person can also go to other games and then come back. Each time they play, they get tickets (maximum of 8 tickets per game).  At the end of the carnival, The Chinchillas can redeem the tickets for prizes.

Each person in the 9-12s Club does not have to come up with a game but he or she is encouraged to do so. This is because if they do not make up a game, they cannot have a say in what the collected money is used for. I know...it seems harsh...but fair!

I haven't completely decided yet what my is going to be but it will involve a penguin, fish, buckets and throwing!

I am so incredibly excited about the Winter Carnival. I remember when I was a Chinchilla and played at the Winter Carnival. It was so much fun; my favorite part was the bouncy castle! (gaaaaaaaaassssssssp) I didn't tell you about the bouncy castle! The leader for the 9-12s Club orders a bouncy castle but sets it up himself. I also loved playing the games. The game that I was best at was finding the snowflake hidden under cups. Over the years when I was a Chinchilla, I used my tickets to get yo-yos, candies and a whoopee cushion!

I really hope The Chinchillas like my game!

If you have any suggestions for a game for next year, please, please please tell me in the comments.

BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Minecraft Youtuber...Stampy Cat!!!

Sssssss boom!!! That is the sound that a creeper makes in Minecraft. You might guessed what this blog is going to be about. MINECRAFT!!!!!!

I talked a little bit of what Minecraft is in my last blog. Today I am going to talk about a Youtuber named Stampy Cat. Stampy also plays Minecraft.

Stampy is a master builder! He makes a lot of shops and games. To make people like his videos he makes a lot of baaaaaad puns to make us laugh. (I said baaaaa like a sheep from Minecraft) Some people who are really big fans send him pictures of him that they drew and he adds them to his love garden. His love garden is where he gives somebody a shoutout and puts their name on a sign.
 
He also has a lot of Minecraft helpers to help him build mini games. I will get to the mini games soon. The helpers names are L for LEEEEE, Amy Lee 33, iballisticsquid, Polly Reindeer, William Beaver, Fizzy Elephant and much more. The helpers are very smart and funny. Once Fizzy was throwing cookies to find Hit the Target and Veverdash who were invisible! Hit the Target and Veverdash will come up very soon.

Now the mini games. Stampy and his helpers build and play a lot! My favorite mini game is the Raindrops ride. You get into a boat and you ride up a big pillar and when you reach the top you ride from one cloud to another like a little raindrop. When you go off the last cloud you go down a rainbow and land in a pot of gold. This is what I look like in Minecraft.

On to Hit the Target. Hit the Target is a evil player and wants to STEAL Stampy's dogs. Veverdash pretended to be Stampy's friend but she was actually helping Hit the Target! Once Hit the Target and Veverdash built a robot to act like Polly but the rules that they programed did not make sense!

RULES
1 Act like Polly
2 Be evil 
3 Protect masters

The rules do not make sense because they wrote act like Polly and be evil but Polly wouldn't ever be evil!😟😟
Hit the Target and Veverdash=😑😑😣😣
One thing that always stays the same with Hit the Target and Veverdash is that they will NEVER win.😺😺😺

Every chance that I get I try to get into Stampy's Love Garden! He tells us to think of something original, but I can't think of anything!

If you have any suggestions please please tell me in the comments!
