Molly's Diary
Day 64
November 13, 2008
Dear Diary, Since we can't really go anywhere with Catherine still being sick, Mom and I decided to bake pumpkin bread today. It's still in the oven right now, but it smells delicious. I love pumpkin bread! Of course, we only make it in the fall, not in the summer or any other time. It would be weird to eat pumpkin bread for the Fourth of July or something! Uh-oh, I just sneezed three times. I better not be getting what Catherine has!
Day 63
November 11, 2008
Dear Diary, It's so hard staying away from my little sister Catherine when she's sick. Not to be gross, but she has stuff coming out of her nose and she's all coughing this nasty cough. Well, she's so little that she doesn't understand she's sick, she just likes to climb up on my lap and cuddle with me. Normally I don't mind, but not when she's sick. I don't want to be sick too!
Day 62
November 6, 2008
Dear Diary, Things in Massachusetts get a little crazy around Thanksgiving time. I don't know if it's because the first Thanksgiving in 1621 was held in Plymouth Massachusetts or what. People really seem to go all out around here. Plymouth is actually only about an hour from here, which is awesome bacause there is so much history there. You can walk through the historic homes and they even have a "Pilgrim Stroll" where people dress up like pilgrims.
Day 61
November 5, 2008
Dear Diary, My stomach will not stop growling! I already had a snack, and dinner won't be ready for a little while until Daddy gets home. I don't know how I could be hungry already. Usually Mom won't let me eat this close to dinner, but maybe I can have a small thing to eat. I'm starving!
Day 60
October 31, 2008
Dear Diary, I think I ate way too much candy and cookies today at school! I love sweets, and with all the parties and fun, there were treats everywhere. Now my stomach just aches. Mom said just take it easy for the rest of the afternoon, and I'll be fine for trick or treating, as long as I don't eat anymore sweets. Just the thought of eating anymore candy makes me want to get sick.
Day 59
October 26, 2008
Dear Diary, We had a lot of fun with Nana and Grand dad yesterday. I wish they lived a little bit closer, but they've lived in that same house forever, and I doubt they'll ever move. Nana always pinches my cheeks and tells me how big I'm getting. It doesn't hurt, it's just funny.
Day 58
October 25, 2008
Dear Diary, No sleeping in today unfortunately. We're going to Brockton to visit my Nana and Granddad. I love sleeping in, but I'm anxious to get there. We haven't seen them for a while. It's only a couple hours away, not too far. Nana is making chocolate mousse special for Catherine and me because she knows we love it. Be home later-
Day 57
October 23, 2008
Dear Diary, Last night our school had a program at school for the book fair. It was funny seeing all the teachers dressed up in Halloween costumes and reading Halloween stories to the younger kids. I almost didn't recognize the p.e. teacher because he had on a giant gorilla costume. Dad said I could pick out a few books to buy at the book fair. I always love getting new books to add to my collection.
Day 56
October 19, 2008
Dear Diary, This morning we went out for breakfast. Usually I only have cereal for breakfast because I'm hungry first thing when I wake up. It was definitely worth waiting for blueberry pancakes with whipped creme on top. I wish we could eat breakfast like that every Sunday morning.
Day 55
October 17, 2008
Dear Diary, I tried to play "Chutes and Ladders" today with my little sister Catherine. She just kept spinning the spinner no matter what number it landed on. Then she was chewing the pieces and crying when I told her she was supposed to go down the chute. Mom said maybe Catherine isn't quite ready for a board game. I think next time we'll try just playing with her babydolls or something.
Day 54
October 14, 2008
Dear Diary, The Sox lost! I saw the first half of the game, but it wasn't going good. Oh well, what can you do? At least the series isn't over yet, and they can still come back and win it. Anyways, it was kind of nice having a long weekend off from school.
Day 53
October 13, 2008
Dear Diary, No school today! It's Columbus Day. And tonight Mom and Dad are having a couple friends over to watch the Red Sox game. It should be fun. I probably won't get to see the whole game since it's on so late, but hopefully most of it.
Day 52
October 7, 2008
Dear Diary, We like hardly ever eat fast food. Mom and Dad would rather go out to a regular restaurant than eat fast food. But tonight, Dad ended up working late, and Mom had to help watch my cousins, so nobody had time to make dinner. So we went to a fast food burger place for the first time in a while. The burger was just okay, but the milkshake was awesome!
Day 51
October 5, 2008
Dear Diary, I finished reading my first book for the Battle of the Books, The Homework Machine. It was pretty funny. I can't wait to see what the next book we read is. My teacher is going to give us the book tomorrow. I better go, I hear Dad calling me from downstairs.
Day 50
September 30, 2008
Dear Diary, Double dutch is so much fun, but you really need at least 3 people to do it. That's the hard part! I can't wait until my little sister Catherine is old enough to double dutch, but I think that may be a while since she's only a toddler. Sometimes if I find one other friend on our block to do it, then my mom will help with the ropes. She's the best!
Day 49
September 28, 2008
Dear Diary, My family went to the Boston Children's Museum. We hadn't been there in a while, so Dad thought it might be fun. And it was! They have this really cool 3-D puzzle that you can actually climb through. Or at least the kids can, the parents just get to watch. I think that was my favorite part. They also had this really neat Japanese House that was made of silk and looked exactly like you would see in Japan.
Day 48
September 24, 2008
Dear Diary, They did it! The Red Sox won last night and now they're in the playoffs! Dad must be downstairs making Chinese food for dinner. I can smell it already! For as long as I can remember, Chinese food is my favorite. I think I better go check, maybe I can sneak a bite-
Day 47
September 23, 2008
Dear Diary, The Red Sox play tonight, and if they win then they'll be in the playoffs! I hope they can do it. I'll only get to see the first inning or two of the game since it's a school night. Mom said she'll record it for me in case I want to watch it. It's just not the same as watching it live, especially once you know the final score. Go Red Sox!!!
Day 46
September 20, 2008
Dear Diary, Kayla's mom asked if I could go with them today to go run some errands. Mom said as long as I'm back by dinnertime that would be fine. I'm not anxious to run errands, but Kayla and I always have fun together. I hope her mom drives us in her convertible. It's so much fun riding with the top down!
Day 45
September 15, 2008
Dear Diary, That first book I'm reading for the Battle of the Books is pretty good so far. It's like a bunch of dairy entries from different characters in the book. And it is really funny! I was even trying to read it on the bus on the way to school this morning, but it was kind of bumpy. I'm going to go read the next chapter right now.
Day 44
September 11, 2008
Dear Diary, Today is September 11th, so our school celebrated Patriot Day. In class we wrote poems about what it means to be an American. Then we had a class discussion about September 11th and what happened. I was only a toddler when it happened, but my teacher said he remembers it, so he told us more about it. There were a lot of very brave people that day.
Day 43
September 10, 2008
Dear Diary, We got our first chapter book for "Battle of the Books". It's called The Homework Machine by Dan Gutman. Sounds strange, but I'm anxious to get started reading it. Maybe after dinner I'll have time. It's hard to read sometimes with my little sister Catherine around. She always tries to grab the book out of my hand. And if I'm not careful and leave it where she can reach it, she'll eat the pages!
Day 42
September 7, 2008
Dear Diary, Tomorrow our teacher is going to start our class in the "Battle of the Books". It's this reading competition that goes on all year between all the schools. I think it will be lots of fun because I love to read. There are fifteen chapter books we have to read over the next several months. Then we get ready for the big quiz bowl in May. That's all I know for now, I'll find out more tomorrow.
Day 41
September 3, 2008
Dear Diary, I really do like school, but I already miss getting to sleep in. I keep my room dark like a cave and get all bundled up in my comforter. Ahhhhhhh....well at least I can still sleep in on the weekends. How many more days till Saturday?
Day 40
August 29, 2008
Dear Diary, I cannot believe we beat the White Sox last night. Not only did we beat them, but we shut them out! My mom was doing her little happy dance all around the house. She cracks me up. I never used to watch much baseball, but then Mom asked me to watch with her. I'm not as obsessed with it as she is, but I like it now too.
Day 39
August 24, 2008
Dear Diary, Only one more week of sleeping in and then school starts. Mom said in a few more days she wants to start making me go to bed earlier and get up earlier to get ready for school. I'm not sure why we have to ruin the rest of summer by not sleeping in. I'm just so not a morning person.
Day 38
August 23, 2008
Dear Diary, My friend Kayla and I were practicing our spelling while we were jumping rope today. Why does Massachusetts have to be so hard to spell? I get all lost about which letter I'm on and then I forget to jump when the rope comes around. It would be so much easier to live in Ohio or Iowa for spelling.
Day 37
August 20, 2008
Dear Diary, Tonight Dad made Asian orange chicken for dinner. It was a little spicy, but I thought it was pretty good. My little sister Catherine would only eat the rice! She's not a big fan of foods that are mixed together or have any sauce. She really likes plain pasta. Too boring for me.
Day 36
August 18, 2008
Dear Diary, I cannot stop sneezing today! It's so annoying. It makes it hard to talk or read, or do anything.(three more sneezes!) Tissues are worthless to use. I've been sneezing into a soft t-shirt I carry with me. Kind of odd, but it works.
Day 35
August 15, 2008
Dear Diary, Only a couple more weeks till school starts. I know some kids say they would rather be on vacation, but I like school. Don't get me wrong, I love vacations too! But after a few weeks, I get bored and I'm ready for school to start again.
Day 34
August 11, 2008
Dear Diary, We spent the day with Grandpa yesterday. I love to listen to the stories he tells about our family history. I'm thinking about starting a notebook to write down the stories he tells. I'm afraid I won't remember them all!
Day 33
July 24, 2008
Dear Diary, I got to go to Six Flags today! It was so exciting. We went on a whole bunch of rides and then there was a glow-in-the-dark parade. I saw batman and robin, scooby doo, and so many other characters. There was even a glowing dragon that breathed smoke! I'm really tired though, so I'm going to go get some sleep.
Day 32
July 21, 2008
Dear Diary, I hope that it stops raining so much! There have been so many thunderstorms this week! It's all sunny out and then BOOM, a giant storm out of nowhere! We got completely soaked yesterday while we were outside. Mom says we need the rain, but I'm tired of playing inside.
Day 31
July 18, 2008
Dear Diary, Today I went to the park with my mom and my friend Sally. We had so much fun! She brought her puppy and we played catch with him forever. He has so much energy for a little dog and he is so cute! I'm so happy that I am seeing my friends this summer. I miss them so much when I have vacations!
Day 30
July 15, 2008
Dear Diary, I am finally feeling better. I thought that my cold was never going to go away. Mom let me watch movies all day yesterday and I got to eat a ton of icecream! I don't like being sick, but I wish that I could do that more often!
Day 29
July 12, 2008
Dear Diary, Oh, I feel so sick! I have the worst cold ever. I'm all stuffed up and my head hurts. I think I'm going to just sleep today. I hope I feel better tomorrow.
Day 28
July 9, 2008
Dear Diary, Today I went to the mall with some of my friends from school. We went shopping and ate lunch at the food court. I got chinese food, of course. It's my favorite food to get whenever I go to the mall. We had so much fun. I'm really going to miss them until the next time we all hang out!
Day 27
July 6, 2008
Dear Diary, The museum was really cool. Everything was so interesting to see! I hope that we can go back again soon. Today was really hot out. We went swimming at the local YMCA for hours! I had so much fun. But, next time I think I will put more sunscreen on. My arms are burned a little bit.
Day 26
July 3, 2008
Dear Diary, I love learning about history so much! Mom and I are going to a museum later today. I hope I get to see a lot of sculptures and pictures about the American Revolution! My teacher said that it was one of the most important events in the United States' history. I think I should find out what it is, so that I can tell my teacher about it next year!
Day 25
June 30, 2008
Dear Diary, I went to the park today with some of my friends. First, we played tag and frisbee. Then, we had a big picnic with our parents. It was almost like a party! After we ate, we played a whole bunch of card games. Have you ever heard of go fish? I didn't win a lot, but it was still fun!
Day 24
June 27, 2008
Dear Diary, We went to the zoo today! It was called the Franklin Park Zoo and it was really cool. I never realized how tall giraffes were. They always seemed tall in the pictures, but up close they are humungous! I love the zoo because there are so many animals to see. I hope that I get to go back soon!
Day 23
June 24, 2008
Dear Diary, Oh my goodness, you should hear all of the thunder outside! It's like there's an orchestra playing in the backyard. And it is actually hailing, too. You know, balls of ice that randomly appear in the summer. I hope all this rain stops soon. I want to go outside and play!
Day 22
June 21, 2008
Dear Diary, I'm so happy that it is the summer. Especially because my family and I went to the duckboat parade for the Celtics! There were so many people there! The whole city was green, green, green. Dad put me up on his shoulders so that I could see better. The trophy was really big. The players seem like giants on TV, but they looked super tiny on those boats.
Day 21
June 18, 2008
Dear Diary, Today I decided to start reading the last book I bought at the book store. It's pretty good, but I think I'm going to finish it really fast. Maybe I need to start reading bigger books because I finish them in just a couple of days each! I guess I read really fast.
Day 20
June 15, 2008
Dear Diary, Summer Vacation!!! It's warm and beautiful and its raining green. Yes, green. There is so much pollen that I don't think I will ever stop sneezing. I love summer, but these allergies need to go.
Day 19
June 12, 2008
Dear Diary, I got to bring home all of my work from school this year today. There was so much of it! I'm really going to miss my teacher and all of my friends from class next year. But, I will definitely be seeing them over the summer. Mary says she is going to have a pool party. How exciting!
Day 18
June 9, 2008
Dear Diary, Ugh! It is sooo hot! My mom just told me that it was 97 degrees! This isn't Florida. This is New England. Where's the snow?! I need to go find some nice cool icecubes to chew on for a while. I'm going to go look in the freezer. I bet we have a whole bunch in there!
Day 17
June 6, 2008
Dear Diary, I went to a graduation earlier tonight. My mom's friend's daughter was graduating from highschool. It was so cool. They all had these blue gowns on, even the guys! They even threw their hats up in the air at the end, just like in the movies! I can't wait until my graduation someday. I Will be so grown up then!
Day 16
June 3, 2008
Dear Diary, So, today I decided to clean my room. It's really messy and mom keeps asking me to pick it up. Well, after I finished putting away all of my clothes I saw something shiny on the floor. It was my silver dollar that my dad had gotten me last year when he went on a business trip! I thought I had lost that forever ago. I'm so happy I found it!
Day 15
May 31, 2008
Dear Diary, I'm so tired today! Mondays are always the longest day of the week. I have to get up so early. Atleast school was really fun today. We aren't going to learn any new things this year because we only have one more week to go! I can't wait for the summer. Sand, Sun, and Spending Time with Friends. What more could a girl ask for?
Day 13
May 28, 2008
Dear Diary, I finished the first book already! I read really fast, so it shouldn't take me too long to finish the others too. I love reading. I get to be someone else in a whole other world. It's so cool to pretend you are somewhere that is different than where you are. Like, living in the jungle or during the Renaissance! Reading books are like going on an adventure.
Day 12
May 25, 2008
Dear Diary, Mom took me to the bookstore, like I wanted, today! They had all of the summer reading books out on big tables. There were so many to choose from! I picked out 3 books that I'm going to read. They are on the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and Anne Frank. She was just my age when she wrote her book. I hope that these books are really interesting to read.
Day 11
May 22, 2008
Dear Diary, It's almost Friday! I love the weekends. You can sleep late, watch tv, and play outside. I'm going to ask mom if we can go to the bookstore again. I finished the last book I got there and I want to start reading a new one. Maybe I will get my summer reading books. It's always good to start early and be ahead of the game!
Day 10
May 19, 2008
Dear Diary, The museum was so cool! There here millions of paintings and stuff everywhere! Some of it was really weird though. All of the men were wearing tights. Daddy never wears tights. I bet he would look funny though.Day 9
May 16, 2008
Dear Diary,Yay it's Friday! I can't wait for the weekend. It's going to be so much fun. We are going to go to the Museum of Fine Art. It's really big and going to be really cool. I've never been before, but my grandpa says that it is the coolest museum he has ever seen. I'm so excited!
Day 8
May 13, 2008
Dear Diary, I went to the bookstore today with my mom. She let me look at books forever! I can't ever decide what I want to buy. There are just so many to choose from. I ended up getting this pretty one called Coke or Pepsi. You fill out pages with your friends. It looks like a lot of fun.I think I'm going to start right now!
Day 7
May 10, 2008
Dear Diary, Hmm. Not much really happened today. At school we are learning about poetry. My teacher showed us a poem by Robert Frost. It was really cool. We got to draw pictures with markers of the poem. "Two roads diverged in the wood... I took the road less traveled by." My picture was really pretty.
Day 6
May 7, 2008
Dear Diary, Yay Red Sox! Mom let me stay up to watch the game last night against Detroit. She loves baseball a lot. This summer we are going to go to Fenway Park to watch a real game! I've never been there before. Mom says they are the best hotdogs in the world... Fenway Franks! I don't think that they are as good as grandma's though. She is the best cook ever.
Day 5
May 4, 2008
Dear Diary, Well, not much really happened today. I ate breakfast, watched some TV, played with my little sister, and listened to music. It was pretty fun but I hope I can do something more exciting next weekend!
Day 4
May 1, 2008
Dear Diary, Ugh. It was so gross out today. It rained all day and was really cold. I can't wait until I can go outside and play with my friends every day. The summer is so nice and sunny. Well, I'm off to go find something to do... inside.
Day 3
April 28, 2008
Dear Diary, Back to school again! I was so happy I got to see my friends. We played double dutch and tag today. It was so much fun! I hope we get to play double dutch again tomorrow. I'm starting to be really good at it!
Day 2
April 25, 2008
Dear Diary, I had so much fun today! It's school vacation, so mom took me and my little sister to the Boston Common for a picnic. It was so much fun. Mom told us about all the things that happened on the common before we were born. It was the beginning of the freedom trail and people used to leave their cows there to eat grass! I don't get why people would leave their cows there alone. Wouldn't they run away?
Day 1
April 22, 2008
Dear Diary, Today my mom took me to the book store and I bought 2 new books and this cool new diary. It is green with pink polka dots. I hope my little sister doesn't find it and get it all sticky. She always has sticky hands, and my mom is always chasing her with a washcloth. I have to get ready for dinner. I will write later.
