Have you ever seen two Martians in a play before?  Well you should have been at the same show as I was.  I never laughed so hard in my life.  These two green creatures were trying to get back to their land safely, but came across many strange people.  They never saw humans before.  They kept trying to act like us.  Well, that is where the fun begins.  You should go see the Martian's On Earth if you get a chance.  It is your chance to sit back and laugh!

Halloween night was finally here.  I was very excited to go trick or treating with my friends.  There is always one house that everyone is afraid to go to and this year we decided we would go.  We slowly crept up the steps and tapped lightly at the door hoping nobody would hear us and we could get out of there quickly.  Before we could turn around there she was.  There were bats flying around her head, a frog in one hand, a broom in the other hand and a black cat next to her leg.  Before she could speak my friends and I let out a scream and ran all the way home.  That is one house we will NEVER go to again.

The first day of school is always a tough one.  You are always waiting to see who is in your class, what your teacher will be like, and how your day will run.  Usually everyone is very quiet trying to set a good example.  We all get out our books, sit in our seats nice and tall, and do everything the teacher says with very little noise. I bet this is the teachers favorite day of the year!.

I will never forget my 5th birthday.  My mom surprised me with a clown to entertain my friends and I.  This clown was very funny and had many tricks up his sleeve.  When his show was over he made everyone at my party a balloon animal.  This was a great day for me!
