4th of July in France

This blog entry is for People to People. It's the 4th of July and I'm in France.

I'm writing this because everyone who is part of People to People is supposed to write a blog entry or something about where they are on the 4th of July.

Everybody has a 4th of July but only the United States has 4th of July for our independence.

I'm part of People of People because my teacher nominated me for it. It is a leadership program where only student leaders who are nominated get to go. I'm going October 12, 2009 to Washington D.C. for a week. And this time I'm lucky, I'm going by myself. No grandparents taking care of me. I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait.

Tomorrow's my birthday and I'm going to be eleven. Wow! That was fast. It seems like yesterday I was just in pre-school. Amazing.

Here is a picture of me in Arles, France.

Cute but weird old fashion songs

Hey Everyone

Check these videos out. People think today's music is weird! But look at these. These are a lot weirder. These used to be popular songs. I like the Witch Doctor.

Don't eat me! Why would people like this?

The Little Blue Man is too sad at the end. Why did it have to be this way?

Why?

Witch Doctor--tell me the magic words.

Ooh-aah--ooh--e-ahhh--ting--tang--wa-a--wa-a--bang--bang. Now that is weird.

Hi Everyone

Do you see "Some of my Blog Followers" at the top of the sidebar? If you'd like to, you can sign up as one of my blog followers, too. All you need to do is click on the Follow This Blog link (it's above the pictures) and then follow the directions. But, I think you might need to have a blogger sponsored blog to do it. I don't know. Try and see.

I'd really like you to do that!!!

I Sent My Letter to President-Elect Obama

Yesterday we sent my letter to President-Elect Obama--My Hero. You can see it down here below. I also put a copy of the blogs about him in the envelope.

Can you pray that it will get to him. If it gets to him, I'm hoping that he'll invite me to the White House and that I'll get to meet him and the new puppy that he's going to get for his girls. (I love dogs!)

I pray for Barack Obama every day that he'll be safe.

Per Casey Da Gramma

We saw this dog yesterday and thought of you--wonder why?

Isn't he cute?

We miss you lots. Do you miss us or are you having just too much fun?

See you in a week.

Lots of love,
Gramma and Papa

For Judith

These are pictures for my room, Judith because you can't see the video. They are also for my Uncle Dan because if he looks at my blog, he couldn't see the video either.

This guy is LT. He is the running back on the Chargers.

Here's a good picture of my fan and the Charger bolt.

Here's my name that was done in Maui by a very funny guy. He had only done it for a week. At least that is what he said. I believed that but really he's been doing it for years.

Here's my doggy Scratch with my favorite stuffed animal, Nike.

Do you like these, Judith?

See you all soon.

My New Room

Remember what my room looked like before? Check it out here. Well, it doesn't look like that any more. It looks--how do I say it?-----

AAAAAAAAWWWWWWEEEEEEESSSSSOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEE.
(awesome)

My Grandpa and Uncle did a really good job on it. I really like my room and am going to show it to all my friends. Here's a video of me showing it to you. It's really special to me and I appreciate it a lot.

My Awesome Creation

At school, instead of the science fair we had the Invention Convention where we had to invent something useful. So, I decided to invent the Robotic Toaster Cannon.

First you put the bread in the opening on the top and then, once the bread is in, you turn on the heating pads by turning the left knob. Once the bread's ready, you push the button on the top on the left side that sprays the butter. Once that's ready, you aim with the right knob and push the red button and the toast shoots out the slots and goes "splat" on the plate.

The toaster cannon is useful because you won't burn your hands anymore, there's no work with the bread but there is some work with the knobs and buttons and everything.

I tried the bread and I said, "Not bad!" Ha Ha.

If you want to buy one, it's only $99.99. If you buy it today, you get the Net Blaster to shoot away the pesty flies. You can change the size of the net (extra nets not included.)

Tearing Down My Room

Today my grandpa and I tore down my room and we moved out some stuff that would cover the walls that we are going to paint. The theme of my room is going to be Chargers--wooohooo. I'm going to have a picture of LT, a Charger bolt and some Charger banners. My room is going to be light blue and gold and in the middle of the wall going all around my room will be a white stripe that has a pattern that goes Charger helmet, Charger bolt, Charger helmet, Charger bolt.

But first my Uncle has to put up new dry wall and he's going to take the popcorn off the ceiling--you know the yellow stuff, popcorn, that you eat with butter--nah, I'm just kidding. They are little white pieces of styrofoam that are on my ceiling.

I am excited to change the looks of my room now that I'm growing up. Before I had pink walls and wallpaper that is, well, let's just stay it was a little girlish. Now that's gone and you can see the inside of what it looks like.

Here's a movie about my room and some other stuff you might be interested in. It's my first movie. Woooooo!

I'll do another video when my room is Chargerfied. That's how I say it at least.

I'm a Sick-o

Yesterday I was sick and now I still am. But I feel fine, really. I wanted to go to school yesterday and today and I hope I get better tomorrow. I'm probably sick because a lot of kids in my school are sick. I have a sore throat, a cough and a runny nose--anybody know how to help me catch it? And also, my temperature was 100.2º. That is really high. Here's someway that I know I'm sick. I never take naps and I've been taking naps and I barely play my DS.

My grandma got Puff Ball to wish me to get better and right when I saw Puff Ball I thought he was so cute and he looked like Scratch. Don't they look alike? I think they do. Scratch is begging for barbecue Lays right now but Puff Ball is just staring out into the open. When I was pointing at something Scratch bit the Lay out of my hand.

Here's a video of Scratch playing with his toy. It was cute. Cough, Cough--oops, I just coughed.

It's a beautiful day here but I can't go outside and play. I really know I can but my grandma says "No way!" I want to shoot baskets but my nonni say that it's not good for me to be outside.

Scratch was just biting my leg then when he stopped he snarled at me. Now he's just acting sad. Maybe he's sad because he's saying "please get better, Casey, please." Or he's sad because he has a beard at 4 years old--just kidding.

I got an A on my social studies test at school. I get lots of A's.

See you next time with my blog entry with me and Chiara--my Italian tutor. Well, I'm going to go sneak outside. Bye
