Weekend At The Competition-Part 1 by #Agent4

This past weekend I had a cheer competition. I did a lot of fun things and some worrying things. First I got to my hotel; then I got ready to go swimming because there was an indoor pool. My friends were not there yet, so my mom and I just went. My friends started to come swim with me. Sadly water got in my ears, and I had to stop swimming earlier than my cheer friends. I went back into my hotel room and tried taking a shower. It did not help the water come out of my ears though. My family and I started getting ready to go to dinner, and my ear was still bothering me. Thankfully on the way to dinner my family stopped at CVS to get me drops for my ears. After that my ears were feeling much better! I went to dinner and I had McDonalds. My family got KFC. We brought our food back to the hotel. We picked those things to eat because it was pretty close to our hotel. Once I finished my food I went to see my cheer friends, and I got to go to the gym in the hotel with my friends. It was getting pretty late, so I went up to my hotel room and tried to fall asleep. Sadly my mom and I could not fall asleep because we kept hearing loud noises, so it took forever trying to fall asleep. The next morning I had to wake up at 5:00a.m! I was very tired, but I could not just go to sleep because I had to get ready for my cheer competition at Mohegan Sun!

My Lacrosse Season Last Year by #Agent17

My lacrosse season last year was awesome. I played up with the fifth and sixth grade team. It was so much fun because it was challenging but also easy because I am good at lacrosse. I played up with one of my fellow classmates. It was very difficult because some of the sixth graders were very big and very strong. I played with my brother and some of his friends and had a lot of fun. We were doing super well, and we were winning a lot of games. I was doing a great job, and I was scoring a lot because I played attack. We were beating teams by a lot and made it to the playoffs. We had an Ice cream truck come, and we had ice cream. We also had a pasta party, which was very delicious. There were many types of pasta like pasta alfredo, pasta with butter, and pasta with sauce.

We made it to the second round of the playoffs, and it was a close game. We were winning by one. Then their best player won the faceoff and ran down and scored. It was tied, so it went to overtime. We scored, and then they scored. So it went to double overtime. That meant it was sudden death. We were going to win. I had the ball and passed it to a kid, and he ran down and passed to another kid. He was wide open and he could shoot to win the game. Then he dropped the ball. Their best player got the ball and scored, and we lost. I did a good job, and I am better at lacrosse because it was a challenge. 

My Trip To Turks and Caicos! Part 3 (Last Part) by #Agent5

The next day was Thursday. We kind of had a repeat of what we had done the entire vacation. We got frozen yogurt, we went to the waterpark, we went to the beach, we went to the pools, and we had a huge game of man hunt! The next day was Friday, and my sister's friends were leaving that day. My family stayed an extra day then them. Most people are excited for Friday, but not me because it meant that my trip was coming to an end! But Friday was amazing! We went down to a place called “Smith’s Reef.” It is a snorkeling reef and is supposed to be the best snorkeling spot in all of Turks and Caicos. We saw hundreds of fish. We saw parrotfish, yellow fish, blue fish, rainbow fish, colored fish, clown fish, puffer fish, and hundreds more which I do not know the name of.  It felt so magical, and it was not real! It was the perfect day and everything was just wonderful. We came back and went to the beach. The water was unreal because the water was so clear and blue/teal! I saw a stingray when I was swimming and I got so scared! That was the one thing I didn’t want to see when I was in the water!  We went to a fancy dinner and had a blast for the last fun thing that we could do in the dark. Sadly, before I knew it it was already Saturday, the day that we left. Luckily our flight was pretty late in the day. We woke up, went to breakfast, and headed to the beach. We swam for about 3 - 4 hours. I was so happy when I heard that our flight got delayed! And again and again and again! It did make my parents nervous that we weren't going to leave. But unfortunately, it was time and we headed to the airport. We went on the plane depressed, but I feel like I did make the most of our vacation. I had the best time in my life!

My playdate with my cousin by #Agent20

Last week on Wednesday my cousin came over to my house. I don’t get to see her a lot because she lives pretty far away. When she first got here she was taking her nap since she is only two, so we had to wait twenty minutes. She was so happy to see my family and I. When she woke up she started screaming and giving us hugs. We decided that we wanted to play outside since it was so nice out. We played soccer for a while, and my cousin showed off her skills. I thought she was actually pretty good for a two year old. We got bored of soccer, so we decided to go back inside. I found some cake mix in my pantry, so we decided to make cupcakes. My cousin kept throwing the ingredients on the floor, so it took us a while to finish making them. Once they were done, we made frosting so they would look and taste better. In the end, they were amazing! My brother said that they tasted better than a bakery’s cupcakes. My cousin on the other hand, seemed to have more interest in smashing the cupcakes all over her face and in her hair, rather than eating them. My cousin was getting tired, so we read her a book. Then she went back to her house. I hope I get to see her again soon.

My Florida trip by #Agent14

On Sunday March 15, 2026 I took a plane to Florida. The flight took off at 1:00pm. Before the flight we went to Davio's, which is a restaurant in the airport. The flight took a total of seven hours, but it should have taken three hours. There was a big storm over Orlando, so we had to circle the plane around Jacksonville. Then when we thought the storm cleared up we started to fly to Orlando, but the storm didn’t clear up. We had to go around Orlando and go to Fort Myers instead. We were running out of fuel, so we had to land at Fort Myers airport to get fuel. We had a quick dinner then got back on the flight. When we arrived we went to bed. Then we woke up and went to Hollywood Studios. The first ride we went on was Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad. It was kind of fun because it was really slow, but it was cool because things came out of the wall.They were like jumpscares. Then we tried to go to lunch, but it started raining really hard. We went to a dinner place that gives you chicken and steak off a rod, and they cut it for you. On Tuesday we went to Magic Kingdom. At Magic Kingdom we went on Tron twice and Space Mountain three times.

Tuesday was a very successful day because we went on a lot of rides. Then on Wednesday we went to Epcot. At Epcot we went on Guardians Of The Galaxy test track and a couple other rides. We also went to Epcot on Thursday, but we did the same rides. Then on Friday we just stayed at our hotel to go to the pool. After the pool we went out for dinner. We also rented a Tesla, so we used YouTube to learn how to charge it and how to start it.

Then on Saturday we had to take a flight home. We really struggled to get to our terminal. We had to take two trains to get to our terminal. Our flight took around three hours. When we landed we had to get our bags. My dad and sister came to pick us up. That is all about my Florida trip.

How to trap a leprechaun by #Agent3

How I trapped a leprechaun was I first made sure I video taped myself making the trap so I can make it again or send it to a friend. I love making traps all the time because it is fun, and you can do it with anyone. I mostly like doing it with my brother and my friends. After my brother and I ate dinner and took showers, we made my brother's trap. His trap was a laser maze made out of yarn in his room. It was so hard to do because there was some touching the floor and some intertwined. It was so cool. My trap was a shoe box that I colored and made fake gold coins to trick the leprechaun to go inside. On St Patrick's Day my brother and I had school, so we decided after school we would see if we trapped the leprechaun and what we got. We went into our rooms, and I went to my trap.  I saw that the leprechaun left me a sign that said, ¨good try.¨ So the trick did work, but he escaped. 

Then I went to my brother's room and boy was it a big mess. He had a bag of chips in his mini basketball hoop, candy on the floor, and green stuff all over the Laser Maze. It was so awesome. Some things I got were a lot of candy like AirHeads, chocolate, Fruit Roll-ups, and chips. I also got a journal that says Chase Rainbows and a hula hoop that is green and glittery. The game that my brother got was a mini Connect Four game with little pieces that are magnets to the board so it's easy. What we did with all our stuff is with our Fruit Roll-Ups we put a big scoop of ice cream, and it froze the Fruit Roll-Ups.  It tasted so good. With my hula hoop I tried so many different kinds of things like jump roping, making it dance, trying to hang it on the wall so I can hang on it but that kind of failed. Last year my brother and I totally forgot it was Saint Patrick's Day, so we didn't really make a trap. When we got home from school we saw this big rainbow in our dining room with a big basket of gold coins and mini chocolates with caramel inside.  Last year my brother and I got prime and my mom did not like that. What do you do on St Patrick's Day? Do you build a trap, do you trick him, or do you just let him do his magic in your house?

Why is it good to play sports? by #Agent9

    

Have you ever wondered why it is good to play sports? Well here are some reasons: One it helps you reach your fitness goals. Also sports are physical activities that help improve your memory and brain function, protect against many chronic diseases, aid in weight management, lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and improve sleep. So yeah it’s important. Also playing sports reduces heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. Another reason why it is good to play sports is because in my personal opinion I am a competitive type of guy so I really like playing sports such as basketball and American football. It's really fun playing sports, but that’s in my opinion. Also depending on what type of sports you're playing the coaches are going to try to make you strong. If you're strong you can pick up a bunch of stuff like groceries or the trash. Also another reason why sports are good is because if you're really good at a sport you can become famous and make millions and millions of dollars to support you and your family. Another reason why playing sports is good is because if you play a sport that you like you get happy about playing, and if you're happy then that’s good.  That’s why it’s good to play sports.

Fast Food Ranking by #Agent12

My ranking of fast food. First we have McDonalds. No I say Burger King. Is better. In the first place we have Burger King. They have good food. I like the whoppers and chicken fries. Second, McDonalds. They still have good food. I like the BBQ sauce with a hamburger. Third is Chickfilla. The workers are slow and mostly teens. Some people were called inside and took all the gear, so the next people waited like 10 minutes. Otherwise they’re food is okay. Next Wendy’s. It’s not the best, but the chicken nuggets are the best and the frosty’s. Next Taco Bell. It was bad when I went there. The chicken was boiled. And the taco tasted stale. Mooyah is really good. They only make smash burgers I think. Chipotle is not that good but okay. Cava is good for when you don't want to cook dinner. Sonic is so good. We got it when we were going to Maine. DQ is good for ice cream but not food. Five Guys uses peanut oil, so my brother can’t eat there, but I like it. Panera is the best. They have the best grilled cheese ever. That’s all for this blog.

How to draw like #Agent6

Here is the one and only tutorial on how to draw like agent 6!

The materials you need are: paper, pencil or pen, (optional) coloring supplies. So gather up your supplies, and let's get started! Step one is to take your pencil and paper, and draw a circle of any size. This is how big want the head will be. Step two is to draw a line that is LEFT TO RIGHT or RIGHT TO LEFT. DO NOT MAKE IT UP AND DOWN! So far your drawing should look like this.👇

I apologize for the lighting. Anyway step three is to make lines that look like this👇

If you added the lines can you guess what we have to make now? A: The head shape. B: The face. C: More lines!

Well if you guessed C you are correct! Now you have to make a line from the top of the circle to the tiny line. That's how big the head will be. Now guess what? You are going to see another  image because I don't know how to explain this. But just copy the image!

Did you copy it? If so, good job; if not, copy it RIGHT NOW. Once you copied it we can start the face! WOOHOO! Let's start with the eyes. First we just make a tiny frown where you would put the eye. Then put a smiley under the frown to make a little eye. You can also make some eyelashes too. Now we get to make oh wait drumroll please? Insert drum roll music here…… A NOSE! Start with an oval of where you would the nostrils as shown:

Now I did add some details, and you can go ahead and add those. So now make two circles on each side of the oval. Then you can add some ✨details.✨Now it is time for the mouth! I am going to be honest here. I have no idea how I do the mouth; it's just natural. So you are getting another image! 

Beautiful right? Here we have something that used to make my art so much worse. The hair.  I basically just do a bunch of wavy lines like so:

Now if you have coloring tools please go ahead and color! I hope you like my post!

How To Make 5 Adorable Squishies by #Agent1

Are you someone who loves DIY fidgets? If you are, I have a craft you will love-squishies! These squishies are adorable, easy, and super cute. I am going to walk you through how to make them step by step.

Step 1: Collect your supplies

• One vinyl glove

• Whatever material you want to fill your squishy with (see step 3 for more information)

• Scissors

• Markers (optional)

• Elastic (optional)

• Funnel (optional)

Step 2: Cut off all five fingers from the gloves.

Step 3: Fill each finger with whatever you want. You could use slime, clay, sand, beads, flour, paint or cotton. Tip: when you are filling the fingers do it over a bowl or use something to insert the material into the finger. I used a funnel.

Step 4: Tie the top really tight so nothing comes out, and if you don't want to tie it, you can use an elastic. However it might not hold as well. Some people even use tape.

Step 5: Use markers to add a face or drawings to make it cute and cool. Some ideas are:

• Smiley face

• Animal face

• Hearts

• Stars

• Lightning bolts

• Paw print

• Moon

• Sun

• Flame

• Wave

• Fruit

That is how you make five adorable squishies. 

The Father Daughter Dance by #Agent11

For this blog I am writing about the father daughter dance. To start us off, my dad and I had to get ready, and I only then realized that the dress I was wearing was pretty tight. So I basically could not put my hands completely down for the whole at least two hours I was there. Anyways we got there and most of the girls in our class were there and let me say this. Now this thing was packed like a sold out concert. Something really annoying that kept on happening was I would find a girl in our class then while trying to find other people I would lose that person and back and forth and back and forth. This pattern repeated itself for approximately 45 minutes straight. After all that we danced for a while; then used the folded up bleachers as a jungle gym. We also took a 5 minute break to just sit down. That's when I realized my ears were ringing because I was dancing right in front of one of the huge speakers. After that everyone was basically leaving to go home. When I got home I first physically and mentally crashed and after that sleep was the only thing I could think about. Anyways thank you for reading my blog.

The Simpsons by #Agent13

 The Simpsons is a big franchise made by Matt Groening. It is about a crazy family called the Simpsons. The first character, Homer, works at the nuclear power plant. He enjoys beer, donuts, and Krusty the clowns hamburgers. The second character, Marge, is a stay at home mom. She enjoys her children, chores, and Homer. I'm going to speedrun through the rest of the characters. There's Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Nelson, Milhouse, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Krusty, Chief Wiggum, Ralph Wiggum, Apu, and Moe. The famous store in the Simpsons, the Kiwik-E mart is run by Apu. It has a secret garden run by Apu because he is vegetarian.  In the intro they have a couch gag where they sit on the couch in different funny ways. I always enjoy them. Originally Krusty the clown was going to be Homer in disguise. So the clown that Bart worshiped would actually be the man that he thinks the opposite of.  In one episode Bart manages to SOMEHOW take over Camp Krusty. This is because Krusty never showed up there even though he promised. In one episode Homer takes a baptism for Bart because they were rehomed into a VERY religious family. This is my blog about the Simpsons. I hope you liked it!

My room by #Agent22

My room I don't have to share. It has a closet, a bed, two dressers, a desk, a bookshelf, two sticker collections, a ski collection, and a very good Pokemon sticker and card collection. In my bookshelf I have many books. These books are Dogman, Diary of a wimpy kid, Magic tree house, and The Bad Guys. In my room I like to play soccer and play Hotwheels. In my room I sleep! When I sleep every night I normally sleep with six blankets on because I love being cozy. I have two windows in my room that overlook the front yard. I play video games. I like to play the Legend of Zelda, Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite. My friends and I like to call and play together, and when we do I go up to my room so people in my house can't hear me screaming. I jump on my bed. My bed is very bouncy and soft, so when I sleep and play on it it's perfect. On weekends I wake up late because my bed and room are very nice to be in. I only have one light in my room because my windows are very bright during the day.

My Trip To Florida Pt.1 by #Agent16

It’s ah me-ah, Agent 16-ah! I’m here to talk about my trip to Florida, USA. What was supposed to be a 3 hour flight from Worcester, MA to Fort Myers, FL, turned into an 8 hour misadventure. 

Here’s how it went down: First, we met my grandma, grandpa, uncle, and aunt at the airport at 1:30. Then we boarded the plane and started the whole takeoff process. We went through de-icing, which took about a half hour. Next, we got delayed for about another hour. When we were finally about to take off, it started raining so we got delayed for another half hour. Then we had to restart the whole de-icing process again. When we finally took off, it was about 3 hours later than we were supposed to.

We were finally in the air, and we thought  "It couldn't get any worse, could it?”  Oh it could. We were 15 minutes away from Fort Myers when the plane turned around and landed in Sarasota instead. Once we had landed, the pilot told us there was no open gate at the Sarasota airport for us to refuel. We were told that we didn’t have enough fuel to make it to Fort Myers, but it seemed fishy to me. This is because we turned around and flew more than 15 minutes to get to Sarasota, so why couldn’t we just land in Fort Myers?

Once we got a gate, we sat on the plane for another half hour or so.  Then we were told we had to get off the plane because the pilot was now told we were leaking fuel, and that the mechanic who could fix it was an hour away.  Then, we waited for our luggage, which they had told us would be coming off the plane, but it never did.  It turned out that our luggage got sent to Fort Myers without us!  Dad got us a hotel in Sarasota since it was a one and a half hour drive to Fort Myers, and it was already past 11pm!  The next morning, we got a rental car and drove to Fort Myers. Then our trip actually started.  That’s all for this week’s blog!  See you next time for My Trip to Florida, Part 2.

More places to travel to by #Agent19

If you like full forests, beautiful sunsets, classic lighthouses, pretty local houses, and clear water then I think you would love to go to Maine, USA. In Maine it is illegal to chop a tree down without a special permission, and when the sun sets in Maine the clouds turn a beautiful light purple that looks almost unreal in the golden and pink sky. Also in Maine there are only a lot of lighthouses there. The lighthouses are all white, red, or white with red stripes, and they all light up the navy blue night sky making the moon a beautiful white and gray color. The houses in Maine’s cities are bright colors and most have colorful flowers outside. Maine’s seas are the clearest most beautiful waters I have ever seen.  It doesn't seem to have a single piece of trash in it making it so very clear. Depending what part of Maine you are in the water is different shades of blue. In most parts of the water there is a pretty shade of sky blue, but in some parts of Maine the water is a light shade of teal, and the waves only make the water prettier. So if you are planning to travel and you like any of the things then I think you will like Maine.

My Nintendo Switch 2 by #Agent15

 Two Saturdays ago my parents got me the new Nintendo Switch, and I love it because it has so many games on. I got one with the bundle. Basically it costed a little more because it came with a game on it, and I love the game it came with. The game it came with is called Mariokart World. When we first got it my dad and I started to set it up. We first connected it to my old Nintendo, which took a surprising amount of time. It took so long because my simcard wasn’t able to connect to my new Nintendo. So we had to keep them together for 45 minutes, and that was only only half of it. Then we needed to do a download to make sure all my progress was saved. That took 25 minutes, so downloading the information took 1 hour. Once we did that we connected it to the TV, and that took around an hour. It took an hour because we needed to figure out how to use the ports to connect. That took a really long time. Once we figured out how my Nintendo needed more charging. When it was charging I went into my basement to watch my brother play video games too. He has a PS5, which is super cool. He has a bunch of games. Once my Nintendo got enough charging we got it connected to the TV completely, so then I pulled off my Nintendo controllers. Then we connected them to my controller holder. Then I started playing, and it was super fun. I hope you enjoyed learning about my Nintendo Switch.

When I saw Wicked by #Agent7

On Sunday I went to see Wicked at the Providence Performing Arts Center. My brother didn't want to go in the beginning, but my parents said that he had to go. My parents wanted me to dress fancy, but I didn't want to dress fancy, just cozy, but no I have to dress fancy. I had an after outfit that was Uggs and a hoodie because I didn't want to wear a fancy outfit. When I was there I took a photo with the Wicked truck twice! My grandma came with us too. I was really happy when it started because I thought it was going to be fun, and it was.  If you have not seen Wicked, don't read the spoiler ahead…… back to it.  When it first started I saw Glinda flying on a bubble, and she had a beautiful rift and the munchkin was really funny. I was wondering why Glinda has a blue dress instead of a pink dress like in the original movie. When I saw Elphaba for the first time I thought that she was a bit over excited, which is lovely. I was team Glinda because I love pink, and she is also funny. After the play was over I went to Burtons, which was so good. It is basically going to heaven and eating there.

How do poison dart frogs work? By #Agent10

Poison dart frogs are frogs that are protected by their poisonous skin to wear off predators. They live in the rainforests of Central or South America. They come in many different bright colors, which predators know about. Although, there is actually a kind of snake called the Fire-bellied snake, that lives up to its name for its diet of the poisonous frogs. They are mostly called poison frogs instead of poison dart frogs or poison arrow frogs because they got the name from the South American people who coated their arrows with frog poison, although people found out that only four species of poison frogs are actually used. Poison dart frogs get their poisonous skin by their diet of ants, termites, centipedes, and beetles from their habitat. This happens from specific toxins that make the frog poisonous, get passed over from bugs, so the frog can eat it and get its poisonous skin. Another thing they do is that adults actually carry their eggs on their back for transportation. Most frogs are nocturnal, but poison dart frogs are not, meaning that the poison dart frog stays awake in the daytime. Poison dart frogs are very interesting for their way of working and what they are.

My knee by #Agent17

My knee started hurting in the summer after I got hit hard with a lacrosse stick, and I didn't know what it was. It got worse when I hurt it in basketball. In January I went to see a sports medicine doctor, and they said my knee cap was moving. So I had to get a knee brace. I also had to start Physical Therapy at Elliot. I did some exercises to strengthen my hips, quads, and knee. I also did exercises at home, which was very fun. I got to know the therapists who were helping me. The therapy had a bakery next to it, so I got a cookie after some of the sessions. Some I could not because I had lacrosse after. One time during the blizzard I did a video call, which was cool. I did everything I normally do but at home. Then they found out what caused my knee cap to be loose. When I got hit I got a bone bruise, and it swelled. This pushed my knee cap out of place, which was why it was moving. I don't have to wear my knee brace anymore. Now I just got my reevaluation, and my knee has improved. I am going back to the sports medicine doctor to show I have improved. I hope my knee will fully heal, so I can run so much faster in sports.

A Fun Target Trip by #Agent4

On the half day, my mom and I decided to go to Target together after we had lunch at Chilis. I was excited because she always lets me buy something there.  Target is the best place ever because it literally has everything you could ever need or want. I knew it would be a fun trip with my mom. What I was not expecting was to run into my friend and teammate while we were there!

My mom saw my friend out of the corner of her eye, and we were really excited to see each other. My friend, her sister, and I left our moms to talk and started looking at make up and skin care. Once we got done with that, the moms were still talking of course, so we decided to take our shopping cart and look around the store. We found nail polish for my friend´s sister and baby gifts for their little cousins. It was a lot of fun! It's really great to go shopping without our moms. We felt very independent. 

My friend is a really good friend, and I love spending time with her. She is very kind and we have a lot in common. I hope I get to run into her again soon!

Boston Legacy's First Game! by #Agent18

On Saturday I went to Boston Legacy's first game at Gillette with my mom and my friend! It was so fun. It was a really aggressive game though. New York,  who they were opposing got one yellow card and Boston got seven. Four of them got converted into two red cards. They lost one to zero, but it was a really good game! Sadly my mom told my friend and I that people are building a stadium in Everett, and the Revolution are going to be playing there instead of Gillette once it’s done. Legacy will be playing a lot of games in Rhode Island too. It’s sad. On a brighter note, after the game my mom, friend, and I went on a little shopping spree! First we went to Vineyard Vines. I got a winter puppy shirt, and my friend got a Valentines shirt! Then we went to Bath and Bodyworks! My mom got two handcreams, my friend got three pocket back hand sanitizers and a candle, and I got five pocket back hand sanitizers with a case! Then we went to It’s Sugar! My friend and I both got a bag of candy, and my mom got some sweetish candy! Then lastly we went to Five Below! It’s definitely not below five dollars anymore. We got so much stuff there I am not even going to list them all! What I will say though is me and my friend spent $62. My mom got some stuff too. She paid for her stuff, and I paid for the $62 dollars my friend and I spent. I had a great day that day, and I got my first Vineyard Vines shirt! I hope you had a great weekend too!

The snow storm by #Agent2

A couple of weeks ago there was a huge snow storm. I went to bed and when I woke up and looked through my window I thought my eyes were still adjusting because there was so much white! Most of the snow storm we had snow days, so instead of hanging inside being lazy I shoveled my driveway and my neighbors. While doing it I was so cold because my dad told me to do it the day before it STOPS snowing so it won't be as much snow, but there was still so much. After I finished my driveway, my neighbor’s driveway was so intimidating until my dad came with the snow blower. I did the front walkway, back deck, the path to get to the back deck, and a little bit of the driveway. After that I thought everything was over. I could finally put on a bathrobe, turn on the TV and finally be lazy. Then my friend got stuck in Florida because the flight to get back got delayed, so I had to go over there and shovel their driveway. At this point I was done, so I just did the walkthrough and made a snow lounge while my dad did the rest of the work. Then I got to be lazy. I played some of the video games I've been trying to beat, Pokemon Legends ZA, and Donkey Kong Bananza. After I did all the shoveling and gaming my dad gave me money for doing it. I got $50 for the shoveling and the $20 he owed me from the last snow storm. By then. I already had $90, so I had $160. So I thought I could save the money I got to get something really big like my Nintendo Switch 2. Instead I just got a new game called Super Mario Party Jamboree, and new joycon colors that connect to my Nintendo Switch 2. That was really the end of the storm. I really like the work I did now and the new game and joycons but my back still hurts.

Have you ever purchased something on the internet that was possibly not safe? by #Agent21

A few weeks ago I was playing this game that I liked, but then a bot joined.  It spammed a message in a chat that told me the website. So I saw the website name and got my iPad to look at it. When I was on the website it looked like it was a trusted website that I could buy stuff from. So I got some money that I had and tried buying something off of the website. Once I bought it I waited over an hour for my order but, I never got what I paid for.

 Luckily after a week and a half of the purchase I got my money back! So then I bought some stuff from the app that the game was on, so I did not get scammed again.

Some things I may have done wrong that got me scammed: Went to a website that I did not verify, did not use the right email address so they could not tell me when my order was ready, and did not ask my parents if this was a good idea or not.

Things I could have done differently to not get scammed Next time: I could have read the reviews and see if people are especially saying that they did not get their purchase. I also could stop and double check the website to see what it looks like, who gave you this site and why, is there a way to talk to the people who owned the site, and does the prices look too good to be true.

So if you want to buy something off a site check through some of the things that I said so you don’t get scammed.

My basketball party by #Agent20

Yesterday my basketball team won the Division 1 championship! My coach decided that we should have a party at his house to celebrate. When I first got there everyone on my team was playing knockout, so I joined in. I got out on my first turn because the ball bounced off the rim and went all the way down the street. After that we decided to play hide and seek but with teams. My team decided to hide behind a bush in one of my coach’s neighbor’s yard. I was really surprised when we won that round because I definitely thought we would get out in the first 30 seconds. The next round we hid in my friend’s car. It was getting pretty boring waiting in the car, so my friend decided we should put on some music. She put on a random playlist, and then a song about poop came on. We started bursting out laughing. Unfortunately the laughing gave us away, and we lost. The next round we were seekers. It took us about 20 minutes to find everyone because apparently they kept moving around when they saw us coming. Next we decided to play basketball bowling. When there were only two people left one of them made the shot but forgot to yell stop, so the other person ran like 85 feet away before the other person yelled stop. Everyone thought the game was over, but miraculously the person who made the shot was able to roll the ball and hit the other person. After that everyone went back to our coach's house for a little while and then left. I had a great time and hope to do something like that again.

My Trip To Turks and Caicos! Part 2 by #Agent5

The next day was Wednesday! Wednesday was probably my favorite day! The water was amazing, and we had so many fun activities to do. We went to breakfast at a really nice breakfast place. We went on a walk around the villas; it felt so magical! We went to the beach and had the time of our lives! My sister's friend's little sister and I left the beach to go get frozen yogurt! The best part was that you could get unlimited frozen yogurt without paying for it because you paid for the resort. We went to a pool to enjoy it. When we finished, we played and headed back to the beach! It was a dream come true. We swam in the water, and my dad and I went to the water park! The best part of that is since you paid for the resort, you didn't have to pay for wrist bands or anything like that! So if you really wanted to ride just one slide in the water park, you could walk over, head to that slide, and go back to whatever you wanted to do. After we went there, we just repeated going to pools and the beach and of course getting strawberry daiquiris! We played man hunt! Man hunt is basically a giant hide and seek! We played at the Italian Village and the Caribbean Village. We had it kids versus adults! Since we did not want to have to sprint (because we thought it could get dangerous) in order to win, you would have to take a picture of everybody in your group. So if the adults just got three people in the picture and not the fourth person, they wouldn't win. We made a rule that every 15 minutes, you would have to send a picture of where you were. We finished the round and went out to dinner! The kids won obviously!We went out to dinner at hibachi! I thought the entertainment wouldn't be as good but boy was I wrong! Our person sang songs and even let us literally do hibachi! We came up to the spot where the people were, and we used the knives to mix shrimp! I was definitely wrong to doubt this place!

Blizzard Fun by #Agent3

The day before the blizzard my friend and I had a sleepover, and that night was the blizzard. The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast, and then we chilled for a little bit. Next, when my dad and brother were shoveling, we went to play outside. What we did in the snow was walk around the house. Then we sat on the snow in the road and went sledding down my hill and down the  driveway. The roads were blocked, and my friend couldn't get home. So she slept over another night. That night we were stuck in the house, but we still played in the snow. We got tired of that.  Since we were stuck in the house we made hot chocolate cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, and made a secret room in my house. Well, it was not much of a secret because everyone knew where it was.  Then that night before we ate dinner, we painted things that you see in the summer because we miss the summer. Then my brother and I made a deal not to go to the backyard because we wanted it to turn into ice, but it didn’t work that well. Also my friend told me this funny joke I did not get. How do mountains stay warm in the winter?  They put on a snowcap. HAHAHA! I am so happy that spring is coming and hello sun and shorts. Also what do you like to do in the snow, maybe you like building a snowman or a fort?

 

Why is it good to eat fruits and vegetables? by #Agent9

  

I know, I know! You and I probably do not want to eat fruits or vegetables,but you have to. One reason why you have to is because it’s healthy. Now I know you like to eat your candy like Skittles, M&M,and  Kitcats. I like to have them to ,but if we want to be honest it’s not good for your teeth. However your best friend, fruits and vegetables, are healthy for your body and your teeth. Another reason why it's good to eat your fruits and vegetables, according to my mom who is a nurse, is that if you eat your fruits and vegetables you grow and you get stronger. Also some fruits and vegetables taste really really good like oranges, corn, and strawberries. Another reason is according to Google Gemini ¨Fruits and vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals including folate, vitamin c and potassium.¨ Also when you have a lot of fruits and vegetables it gives you a healthy gut and lessens digestion problems¨. Here are some fruits and vegetables that are good for you: strawberries, red bell peppers, tomatoes, guava, and oranges. Now I inspire you to at least have three fruits or vegetables per day. That's why fruits and vegetables are good for you.   

                       

All about the McLaren F1 Team! by #Agent16

Hello! That’s right, I’m back. Agent 16 here with my biweekly blog post. Today’s topic is all about the McLaren F1 team. My dad and I both really like to watch F1. Our favorite team in F1 is the McLaren team. 

First, we will talk about the members of the McLaren F1 team. There are two members of the team. The two members are Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. First up is Lando Norris, who is from Great Britain. In my dad’s and my opinion, he is one of the best drivers in F1. Also, he won the championship last year, so he is objectively one of the best F1 drivers. He is currently 26 years old. I also really like his helmet pattern. It’s really cool in my opinion. And next we will talk about Oscar Piastri, who is from Australia. He is also one of the best drivers in F1, and this is not just my opinion; he also placed third in the driver’s championship. His helmet pattern is also pretty awesome.

Next, we will talk about the CEO of the team, AKA Zak Brown. People call him the Team Principle because he’s in charge of the team. This means that he hires people like mechanics and drivers and a bunch of other stuff.

Finally, we will talk about the cars. Did you know that the engines are actually manufactured by Mercedes, and not McLaren? The cars are made at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, England. Did you know that this year the F1 cars are all brand new because the rules about F1 changed again?

I’m very excited to watch the Australian Grand Prix this weekend and see how fast the new McLaren cars are. That’s all for this week’s blog, see you next time!
