The World According to Tori Ann

Hey it’s Tori and I wanted to talk about the BEST KIND OF GARDEN! My mom had used sticks, bark, and plants to make a beautiful garden. But this garden wasn’t any old garden… this was my moms first Fairy Garden.

Yep… you basically make a garden that has a house and fake fairies in it. Here are the steps on how to do it:

1. First, you have to buy plants. My mom buys the kind that live all year long. And since she keeps her garden in a pot on the balcony (which is covered), she buys the kind that need shade. We bought small plants for our pots.
2. Next, you can go to Hobby Lobby and buy sticks of bamboo, rocks, shells, and anything you want in your garden. And you want to make sure you have fairies to put in the garden. You will also want a hot glue gun.
3. Then, once the plants are set up, you can you sticks, bark, bamboo, rocks, shells, and anything else to make it look like a house.

Me and Evie have planted our plants, and tomorrow we will probably start building the house. Trust me, doing this project is REALLY fun. Even though it cost about $30 to buy the plants, pot, soil, and supplies. Maybe you should try it!

I would also like to tell you about something. You know how the Earth is getting hotter? Well we can do things to help it. Here are some ways to help:

First you can do something as simple as shortening your showers by five minutes; recycling paper, plastic and cans; and turning off the tv or computer when done using them; or you can turn off the sink when you brush your teeth or clean the dishes. Please try to help the environment.

Thank you and please post your comments.

Soon my family and I will be moving. On December 11th we are moving to our house which is almost finished being built. We have about three weeks until we move. I get to stay home the day we move.You should see our dining room, you can barely see the dining table. There are TONS of boxes. I have packed three boxes and a small box with stuff from my room. Moving can also be stressful. We have to constantly be packing. And the house gets really messy. I can’t wait till we finally move in.

At Day Care we had a field trip. Evie did not go but I did. We went to Splash Town. First we went to eat. I had pizza and sprite. Some people had hamburgers or cheeseburgers with fries. After that the people who wanted to do the free fall went up there but then the water stopped working. So we skipped that. We also went on this ride ride that we called SuperMan. Two or three people went at a time. I went with my friend Ashley and her mom. It was fun. We went on one that was really fun and I went through a tunnel. I went on this slide that I did not like because I did not hold my nose the whole time. It was a slide that just dropped.There was one that I really wanted to do but I got like dehydrated and hungry and hot and I gagged so I went back down the stairs. I got to dip into a pool and then I found out that Ashley was already down. Then I realized that I might have been able to wait that long, but I was the first one to get ice water.

 We went on one called the toilet bowl. First you went down a tube then you were in a bowl with a hole at the bottom where you fell into 8 feet of water. There was an open toilet bowl and a closed toilet bowl. The open one had an open top on the bowl so you could see. The closed one didn’t. Mostly every one screamed when they went down it. I almost did but I didn’t. 

We also went on this ride called the tornado. It could hold 4 people at a time. We were so high up my friend told me not to look down and I did. And I screamed. There was this part that pretty much dropped so Laura sat a the front. But it turned so she stuck her hand out and tried to turn her self around and said, “Turning my self around, Turning my self around”. It was funny. She ended up being in the back and was screaming the whole time. Then we went of the lazy river it moved you by itself. If you were floating you would get carried along. It goes around the whole Splash Town. It was really fun. 

Splash town was really fun. To bad Evie did not come. And it was only 20 minutes away. Maybe you could talk to your parents and ask to go there. It is a very fun family place to spend time with each other. Check it out.

Guess what…. Evie and I cut our hair. We donated it to Locks Of Love. Did you know it takes 30 inches of hair make a child’s wig?  Well it does. You have to donate at least ten inches so we donated like eleven inches each. There are advantages to cutting my hair it is easier to brush, wash, and it can be flat ironed. It is lighter on your head to. Evie was the guinea pig. She had hers done then the next day I did after I had saw how cute it was. I had to think about it first. But then I decided. Now it is cute.

If you had long hair for your whole life you can keep it or cut it. Just think of the advantages and disadvantages. And remember that if you do cut it try to donate it.

Remember my sister Jena? Well we had her wedding on June 6^th and it was fun. We went down the isle and then Jena and Marc got to get married and got to pour unique colored sand into a jar to show that they are combined as one. Marc’s sand was white and Jena’s was pink.

After that part of the wedding lots of pictures were taken. Then we went to the reception. There we had cake and food and we got to swing on one of those swinging benches. We also did dancing. And they played Livin La Vida Loco.  I requested it. The wedding was cool. Now I have a brother in-law. Post your comments!

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I am here now. Jena had her Wedding. It was fun. Now I am going to a Day Camp for Kids, and I’m not allowed to say the name of it just to be safe. It is fun their. We get to go on field trips and we get to have breakfast and lunch there. They have 4 zones. You switch by telling a teacher and switch your card in your slot. They have a computer room, an art room, a block room, a family room, a library, a science room, a cafe, a theater, an arcade, a room for fourth graders and up, and the big floor with a stage and games. It is super fun there. I have two real friends there. Sonia and Awanee. They are my friends. They are both younger than me. Awanee is 7 and Sonia is 8. 

Friday we got to go see the movie Up and we got field day. On every friday we do a field day. We got to do games and water games. We get to do tye-dye t-shirts on Monday. I am sort of glad it is a weekend. Not saying I don’t like the day camp. I do like it, I just like the weekend more. 

Thank you for reading my post. See Ya!

My sister Jessica also asked to have a post written about her. So I am writing about her. Jessica also has a different last name then me. She has curly hair and is short. She is 21 and she has a boyfriend named Hannibal. He is super tall. I like to ride on his shoulders. It is fun. Jessica will most likely marry Hannibal after Jena’s wedding. (Just guessing). Here are some things about Jessica.

Jessica has two puppies. One is a boy, his name is Tucker. The other is a girl, her name is Sadie. I like visiting Jessica at her apartment. When she visits us she usually brings her game of The Sims 2. She has The Sims 2 Apartment Life, and The Sims 2 Nightlife. I don’t have those so it is fun getting to play them when she comes. Jessica has posted comments a lot. You could look at the one about The Sims 2 and read that or her comment on that. 

Jessica is very nice and she can be funny. I love her.

My sister Jena posted a comment asking for me to write about her. So that is what I am going to do, write about Jena. Jena is 24 years old. Her birthday is in January. She is engaged. She is getting married to a guy named Marcus. He goes by Marc. Jena had a different dad then me so her last name is different than mine. She’s going to be changing her name when she gets married, and her initials will be J.J. I will call her J.J. Anyway today I am going to talk about her wedding too.

Jena is getting married on June 6th. And I get to play a role in the wedding. Evie and I are going to be junior bride’s maids. I can’t wait to have the wedding cake. The dress that I am going to wear is yellow… Evie’s is going to be blue. We already got to try on the dresses.

I think we get to get a hairdo and get our nails done. 

I can’t wait to go to the wedding. I still have to wait. Leave your comments.

Most of my friends are in my class. My friend Melanie is one of them. She is hilarious. She can make me laugh almost all the time. She has a laugh that she can do that we call her mouse laugh. She gets really high pitched. I wish you could hear it. I could try… but when I do it does not sound like hers. My other friend Isabelle has one too. But she like never does it. Sometimes Melanie will talk real weird. Sometimes, just by looking at her, I will laugh. She is naturally funny. Well not funny…. HILARIOUS! Melanie is in my class so I get to see her a lot.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Leave your comments. P.S. Melanie is my number one comment writer here. P.S. #2 Who is Jane? And if they are reading this, it is cool to have someone commenting that I do not know because I usually only get comments from people I know. Jane you should post another comment.
