Monday was my eighth birthday, but my mommy held a pool party for me (and for her friends as well) on Sunday. I had so much fun swimming and splashing and eating my cake!
Mommy took the pictures (cuz my grandma sucks at taking pictures!) Sorry for the bad word ... :(
Today grandma took me to a performance of the improvisation at ComedySportz, which every first Saturday of the month they do a Saturday ComedySportzKids.
It is an interactive improv, and I was featured three times! My grandma took pictures from her cell phone, some videos from her video camera, and some still shots from her video camera. For some reason, the batteries stopped working, and so she couldn't take a lot of video. Grandma did, however, get two little sound bites of the three actors making up a birthday song to me, and she recorded it on her cell phone which is cool!
My first bit was when I was onstage with the three actors and four other kids in the audience, and whenever they pointed to one of us, we had to say a word, and then they would continue with their improv. My best word was when someone said "and then I gave her my ..." and pointed to me, and I said "my flat screen tv!" Ha ha.
Then they asked if anyone had a birthday, and I raised my hand because I turn 8 on Monday, September 13. So I was brought to the stage and the group made up a song with a guitar and sang it. My grandma's video was not working but she managed to capture two 20 second sound bites, which is way cool.
Part one. Part two. (When you get to the DivShare page, just click on "download" and you can listen to the .wav file).
Then I participated in the finale, which had all the kids up on the stage (and some adults) and we all had to sing animal sounds (my group was lions), and one of the actors would "direct" or "conduct" us and we had to sing our sounds (there were cow's mooing, and chickens clucking) for the grand finale.
I had a really good time, and would like to go back again next month!
Obviously the majority of hits I am getting on my blog are because of my mohawk. Enjoy these other pictures!
UPDATE: 8/14/12 Please see post from me (grandma) regarding Zaire, here. We desperately want him back and any donations that can be contributed will be most appreciated. Our legal fees have exceeded $50,000 and continue to escalate. Please help.
I went to a birthday party for one of my grandma's co-workers. I am staying with grandma because my mother is in New York City celebrating her 30th birthday!
I got a lot of candy. I stuffed it in the leg in the picture and brought it home.
I stayed at my grandma's house all week, starting on Friday before Memorial day. My mommy has finals and had to study all week, so my grandma said she'd take care of me at her house.
I went to work every day with grandma. It was not as boring as I thought it would be. Mostly because she decided to go in after noon, and leave early.
I played on my computer, with my headset on so I didn't bother anyone at my grandma's work. We ate out a lot for dinner.
Here's me taking a bubble bath!
Here I am with a plastic bag on my head!
I had fun at grandma's house. And because I am off school for the summer, I did not have ANY BEDTIME! Yippeee!!
