The Things that I am Finishing Up

On Halloween weekend my mom's mom and step dad came up. I call them MyNanna and HaHa. It is a bit confusing that her name is MyNanna because she's not just MY Nanna, but we call her MyNanna.
On the first day they arrived(Friday), they took me to soccer practice and for dinner we had veggie wraps. I sort of liked them, sort of not. And after dinner we carved pumpkins. Our friend, Michaela, came over, too. We did a smiling face. We did a scary face. And we had one huge pumpkin that my mom carved.
On Saturday, the girls went to the Farmer's Market while the boys went to the U of Michigan football game. Then after that we went to my soccer game. My soccer team is called the Mighty Flamingos. My last soccer game of the season and guess what? We won! After my sister's nap we went to a Diwali party at our friends' house. Our friends, Heather and Aditya and their two children Divya and Jai, were the hosts. Divya is my age and Jai is Thangi's age. We got glow sticks and we twirled them around in the dark. They looked like spirals going round and round.
On Sunday, we went on the Fall Colors train ride in Tecumseh, MI. There weren't very many colors because the leaves had already fallen.
On Monday, it was Halloween! I was Hermione. My sister was a car. MyNanna was a chef. My dad was a business man with a job (in case you don't know he is graduate student). My mom was IPhone 4g except it looked like an IPhone. HaHa was sick so he stayed home and passed out the candy.
On Tuesday I got up at 7.30 am just to take MyNanna and HaHa to the airport.

The next weekend my mom's dad and step mom came up to visit. I call them Hop and MiMi.
On Friday I had my last soccer practice of the season. Then we all came home and had dinner. After dinner we played lots of games. We played Pit about 5 times. Then we played Operation, which my sister loves.
On Saturday I had my soccer party. I will not be starting soccer again until I come back from India. My friends and I had SO much fun jumping on the trampoline. We used Sharpies to sign each others' Flamingo Shirts. I can think about all my friends when I see their names on my tshirt.
On Sunday before Hop and MiMi left, we spent the whole day at Greenfield Village. At Greenfield Village, you can ride Henry Ford's Model T cars. There are also homes that show us how people lived in 1944. There is also an Omnibus that is pulled by horses. It was so much fun! And guess what I got at the toy shop? A music box. And my sister? You would probably guess. A car.
