It's Halloween!!!!!

Hello world! It's Halloween!!!! WE just got done trick-or-treating and we are going to give you a quick overview of our day and then we will tell you about our trick-or-treating expedition! So, we went to school but we can't wear costumes or full face masks. Which stinks but we made it work with witch hats!! At math, our math teacher had a Halloween Quiz and if you got the answer right you would get a candy corn! Belle and I and another girl in our math class (who is awesome if you are the girl!!) totally wrestled on the ground to get a piece!! That was pretty much the most exciting thing that happened to us during math. The most fun thing was our class Harvest because we are not allowed to have Halloween parties!! Now.... onto Halloween night!!

First to answer some of the main questions, we dressed up as Siamese Twins and we each got approximately 643 pieces of candy!! We know that's SUPER hard to believe, but it is true!!! We went to our local Halloween party. It started when we went to our city Rec. Center and got snacks, balloons, and a picture with Cookie Monster and Elmo!!!!:P Then we went to the park across the street and saw Morph suit People and got lost!!Thank goodness we found them at our fire house in line to get pizza and candy. After that we went trick-or-treating!! Our last thing that we did was go around my 1/2 mile loop with my awesome neighbors! Now we are finishing this PERFECT Halloween with a sleepover at Alyssa's house! We hope you had an AWESOME Halloween like us!!!


Our questions of the day are:

What is your favorite candy?

What did you dress up as for Halloween?

How much candy did you get?

Soccer Season Ended!!

Soccer season ended!! We are SUPER sad!! Soccer is Belle and I's favorite sport ever! Alyssa and I are pretty good at it too. We have a dream. Our dream is to become pro soccer players. We will never get sick of soccer. We could play it forever!!

Our idol is Jackie, #18. She plays for Dartmouth soccer. We watched one of her games with our soccer team. It was Dartmouth against Pennsylvania. The score was 2-0 and Dartmouth won. Jackie made some AMAZING punts and headers. She was also very aggressive. Before soccer ended, in all of our scrimmages or games, we just reminded ourselves to play like Jackie.

We like soccer because  get the chance to be aggressive (which we do A LOT!!) and we get to run around. We like running too so its pretty much a win-win sport. We also like the positions and practices. We think we are the best in midfield and the worst in goalie. My (Alyssa's) dad and one of our coaches gave us and two other players on the team nicknames. Alyssa's was Alibaba (Al-ee-bah-bah) and mine was Bellbivduvo (Belle-biv-duh-vo). From the sidelines we heard Alyssa's dad cheering our nicknames! Both of our coaches were AWESOME!! Soccer is so fun. If you play, you know what we mean!!

Our questions for the day are:

What do you think of soccer?

What is your favorite sport?

Who is your idol?

Push It and Work Hard!

So, in our school we do a test in gym called fitness testing.  Today was the last day of fitness testing. It is where you do a variety of different tests like sit and reach, the trunk lift, the push up test, the sit up test and the pacer test. Both Alyssa and I would say that the push up test and the pacer test are the most difficult.

The pacer test is where you have to run back and forth across the gym keeping up with a beep that speeds up every time. It is very hard. Most of the time, you breath wrong or you are just too exhausted to continue on. The average number for 5th graders is 30-40.  We both got around 50. You get tired VERY easily.

The push up test and the sit up test are alike. A voice will come on that says down, up, down, up, and so on. But with this test you can get called out by the gym teacher if you are doing something wrong. Me and Alyssa both did 30 push ups.

The sit and reach is easy. You sit and reach. The trunk lift is when you lie down on your stomach and put your hands under your thighs and lift your head up. It measures your lower back strength but it also hurts a lot.

We like fitness testing. It was fun for me to do all of the tests and try my best.

Here is one of our favorite workout songs.

                     

We want to make a difference!

Hi, our names are Belle and Alyssa. This is our first post so let's give it a try! We both have pretty crazy lives. We live in New Hampshire, we are both 10 and we both love sports. We just entered the doors of middle school not too long ago. Middle school is not so bad. We do have the nicest teachers ever, after all!!

I (Belle) used to live in a million other places like Idaho, Utah, Maine, Rhode Island and hopefully New Hampshire will be the last. Now I am here sitting with my best friend Alyssa talking to you. Now it's her turn to introduce herself. I (Alyssa) used to live in New York for about 1 1/2 years. I have lived in New Hampshire ever since. Now, I am sitting here at my best friend Belle's house talking to you. We met in July, 2014. Right now, it is October 28, 2014. SO, we haven't known each other for that long.

This blog is about making a difference, something we really want to do. We just ran a charity race for our local children's hospital. There was a mile race, a 5k walk, a 5k run, which is what we did, and a half marathon. Next year we are going to do the half marathon. Our whole soccer team is generous enough to donate to Cancer research. After all, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

So Get Off Your Computer And Go Make A Difference!!
