Malls, Toy Stores and Saying Good Bye

On Friday, my mom and I got on an earlier train than we usually take so we could go to Manhattan Mall. As we started to walk, we ran into a big problem. We could not find the mall. We looked and looked until finally we saw little letters on a sign that said Manhattan Mall. We laughed at ourselves because the sign was right in front of us. If it was a snake, it would have bit us. The mall was kind of small inside. It was not like any other mall I've ever been to. The food court was small too. All they had was soup and sandwiches. I got some soup for lunch. After we left the mall, we went to Kmart to buy some Christmas cards and some gloves for me. There were a lot of cards for me to choose from. I picked the cutest ones.

On Saturday between shows, my dad and I went to FAO Schwarz. It was so cool in there. The store had big animals and helicopters and the big piano. My favorite thing was the puppet making area. You could make a Muppet that looks just like the ones on Sesame Street. I wanted to get one, but my dad said we would get it another day. After the show, there was a big snow storm. The snow in only a few inches in New York but Trenton's snow was past my knees. My dad said he was two seconds away from booking us a hotel room.

On Sunday, my dad and I took an earlier train to New York because of the snow. We did not want to take any chances. It was Jeremy's last day filling in for Marquis so it was really gloomy backstage. Between shows was our last Green Couch Series for this year. All of the performances were phenomenal. I loved it. When Jeremy was about to leave, it took us forty minutes to say goodbye. I was really sad.

Today was a easy day. We helped my teacher unload and deliver gift for the Boys and Girls Club. There were about 100 toys in the classroom. I thought that was very nice of him to give gifts. Before I left school, he gave me a remote control car and a MP3 player. I said thank you about a million times. Before we left to go to the train station, we stopped over my great grandmother's house. She was so glad to see me and so were my god parents. My mom and I stayed at her house for about fifteen minutes then we left. At work, everyone was excited to see Marquis. There was great anticipation to see him walk by. When he finally came, he was very excited to be back too. Today's show went by fast. Time flies when you are having fun. TTYL

  1. This is one of the saddest part, I must say. Born in the early generation when we used to visit our favourite Toy stores whenever the budget allows, I could have took my kids there and show them the best place to buy nice toys.

  2. it is important for you to purchase top-rated toys for your children, such as educational toys, creative games, and those made from shock-proof and durable materials. You also need to take into account which toys are suitable for the ages of your children
