These are pictures my grandma took from her cell phone. My mommy sat right in the front and videotaped the program, but so far, she has not downloaded it, so I can't put it up. And, as we all know, my grandma takes bad photos, but this is all I got!
The top one, we are singing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and the one after that is us singing "Houndog."
I had fun singing and playing with the other students.
Here is the costume I chose for Halloween. Even though I am not allowed to go out trick or treating this year (because I was punished for something I did bad), my grandma let run around the apartment building and knock on her door, and she had lots of candy for me!
Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!
I had my singing class today, and had french toast, fruit and a milkshake at the diner across the street from the school
Later we went to Hollywood so grandma could pay some bills.
Afterward, we went to K-Mart and I bought a fun ninja costume (not to wear for Halloween, but to play at grandma's house) because I have a lot of swords and knives and other ninja stuff!
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.
