Crazy Day

Hey guys! Tomorrow is the big game! Cecilia was going crazy this morning because she had lost her hairbrush. At first Cecilia didn't want to go to my football game, but then she thought that she could show off her style and make everyone jealous, then she decided to go to my game! So right now, she is practicing her look for tomorrow. At lunch, Chloe threw a huge tantrum. We all had salad, but Chloe said that she wanted spaghetti for lunch instead. We all sat there at the dining table listening to Chloe's yelling and crying until Mrs. Willows got up from her seat and made the spaghetti for Chloe. After lunch, I was super bored. So I decided to go swimming in the fitness room's pool. The problem was that the water was super cold, so that once I jumped in, I quickly came out. Then I dried off and went to my room. I put on some cozy and warm clothes, and I turned on the TV. When I turned on the TV, the news came on. Chloe came to my room to give me some warm milk, and she said that Mrs. Willows sent it up after she heard about the freezing pool water. Then, Chloe asked if she could sit with me for a couple minutes. Then, I said yes, without knowing that I was making a big mistake. On the news, it said that we are going to have a rainy day on Thursday and Friday. Once Chloe heard that, she went totally crazy! She started screaming with joy and jumping around the house like crazy! The only part I liked about that was that tomorrow was not going to be a rainy day, because I have my football game tomorrow. I had a huge headache after Chloe's scream attack. Then, Cecilia ran around the house screaming too! She told us that she saw a spider on her bed and Chloe picked it up. The Chloe showed it to everyone by putting it right in their face. I did not have such a good day.

Cooking disaster

Hey guys! Our parents are going out for dinner because it's their anniversary, and they told Cecilia to make dinner at home while they're out. They said that they will be back late after dinner. After they left, Cecilia tricked me into cooking. She said that she will do my Mesopotamia project if I cook dinner tonight. I made a mistake and trusted her. That was probably the first time I have ever heard her talk so sweetly to me. Once I was in the kitchen, I started to get all the stuff ready. We are not healthy eaters, so, I decided to make a pie for dinner! Although Mrs. Willows specifically said to eat healthy. So then I decided to make a blueberry pie. First, I found a recipe online for how to make a blueberry pie. It said to first create the dough for it. I think I saw Mrs. Willows create pie dough before. So I mixed some flour, water, and sugar? Well, I think it was that. But the dough got too thick, so I used the electric mixer instead. Although, I didn't put the mixer all the way below the bowl, so the dough splattered all over the counter. Well since I had no way I could fix the dough, I had to use that dough. Next, I spread out the dough in the baking dish. Then, I created the filling. I remembered that Mrs. Willows adds corn starch, sugar, salt, and cinnamon to the blueberries. I added all the stuff and mixed it together. But then, I just realized that I forgot to rinse the blueberries! So the mixture was all dry.  I added the mixture to the pie dough, and then It kind of started to look a little weird. Then I had to make the "criss-crossy" crust at the top of the pie. But, the dough kept on ripping every time I tried to cross it. Then the pie looked like a blob of dry blueberries with a ripped crust. I hope it at least looks better after baking it. Now, I am going to bake it. Although, I didn't know what temperature to set the oven to, so I set it to 200 degrees. Once I took the pie out of the oven, all the blueberries oozed out! I didn't know how to get Cecilia to eat this. Then I decided to add rinsed blueberries to the top of the pie. I tried to make it look baked, even though I didn't bake the blueberries I was going to put at the top. Then, I cut out some slices of "pie" and put it on a plate for Cecilia and Chloe. When I took it up to Chloe, she squealed and snatched the plate from my hand. Then I went to Cecilia's room to give her some pie, and she got excited, but when she tasted it, she spit all of it out, and said that this dinner is not good enough to do my Mesopotamia project! She said it in a gentle voice, which didn't offend me or hurt me in anyway. I know she still likes me. Since nobody liked the pie, I threw it away. Then I saw Cecilia marching downstairs with her puppy. Cecilia came to the kitchen, and opened the fridge. At the bottom of the fridge, there was a chocolate pie with a tag that said, "after dinner, eat this for dessert. Love Mommy". Then we just cut the pie and shared it. We probably didn't hear that Mommy said she left dessert in the fridge for us. After "dinner", we all fell asleep watching a movie. I was sitting next to Cecilia while Cecilia forced Chloe to sit on the other sofa. I'm pretty sure Chloe felt bad. But if Chloe's feels bad about something, she would be completely alright a minute later. When our parents rang the doorbell, well, our parents only ring the doorbell when we are home alone, just so we know that they are back home, anyways, we all woke up and Mrs. Willows found out about the huge mess in the kitchen. We were so dead. But we didn't tell her about not having a proper dinner. We just went directly to dessert. Anyways, now I have to go work on my Mesopotamia project. UGH! Bye.

Cecilia's Birthday

It is Cecilia's birthday tomorrow. Guess what I got her? I got her a puppy! I asked Mrs. and Mr. Willows what to get for her birthday, and they said that she gets 16 gifts from each family member on her birthday, but since I'm new to the family, I don't have to. I asked if I could get her puppy because I knew that she loved puppies, so I got her one. I got her a Corgi puppy. Those are cute. I didn't name it yet because I want Cecilia to be the one to name it. She's a good sister. I will include a picture of the puppy below. Bye.

Sick-UGH!!!

Hey guys! It's Zak! (cough, cough) I'm sick. Because of my illness, Cecilia thought that she would get sick as well, because our rooms are right across from each others'. So she decided to move to an extra room. The worse part of it is, IT'S TUESDAY, THAT MEANS THAT MY QUARTERBACK TRYOUTS ARE TODAY!!! I asked Mrs. Willows to ask my coach to change the date for the tryouts, but my coach said he'll try his best. He also mentioned that many of the players didn't show up at class as well. Anyway, the principle made this terrible lunch rule. before leaving the lunch tables, she makes us raise our hand.  When we're done eating, we have to wait till she excuses us. She only changed the rule because too many people ran instead of walked in the hallways after leaving their tables. Anyway, it's time to eat my medicine. It's really disgusting. Bye.

My Medicine

PERSONAL HYGIENE=OFF

Hey guys. I just got back from practicing football in the backyard, and Cecilia now forces me to take bubble baths instead of two minute showers. So, I was getting the bubble bath ready, but Chloe said that she has some "water-conservation" project at her school, and her goal is to save 10,000 gallons of water in three weeks. And when I started the bubble bath, Chloe suddenly turned off the faucet when the bathtub wasn't even a quarter filled! So I had to take the bubble bath I was longing for like that. I was so angry at Chloe. But I still love her!!! Next, I was trying to brush my teeth after dinner, but Chloe entered my room, came in to my bathroom, and watched me like a hawk to make sure I don't turn on the water. And even if I did, she would turn it right off. I had to sneak in to Cecilia's bathroom, which is in her room, to wash the suds of my teeth. Luckily Cecilia didn't notice me. She was painting her nails while reading comments on her blog. I think she posted something on her blog saying that I'm very stinky. Anyways, I have to go back up my backpack now. I'll try my best to post tomorrow! Bye.

I MADE IT!!!!!

Hey guys! guess what,.... I made the after school football team! I'm so proud of myself. Unfortunately, my new parents said that if my grades go down even little, I'm going to have to quit football. I have A's in almost everything. I'll show you my grades down below:
         Citizenship: OUTSTANDING
         History: A-
         Science: C+
         Math: A
        Language: A
        Physical: A-
        Speaking and Listening: SATISFACTORY
        Reading: B
        Technology: OUTSTANDING
        Writing: B-
Also, just so you know, my school doesn't believe in "A+'s", so the highest grade you can get is an A. My weakest place right now is science. Quarterback (QB) tryouts are next week on Tuesday, so I'm going to practice hard. It has been my dream to be quarterback on a football team. Wide-receiver is the second best position, I'm fine of getting into THAT position... actually I'm not okay with that. Anyways, wish me luck for next Tuesday!!

The Football That Mr. and Mrs. Willows Bought Me



Liar

Hi, guys. A girl named Ciara Willows is pretending to be part of the Willows family. She is spreading fake rumors abut me and saying that I hate Chloe. I love Chloe. I love my entire family. Mr. and Mrs. Willows said that I am the last kid to be part of the Willows family. She keeps saying that she was adopted before me. First off, I only have 2 sisters, not 3. My sisters are Cecilia and Chloe Willows. Secondly, Mr. and Mrs. Willows' first names are not Robert and Lily. I'm not allowed to reveal their first names for security reasons, but I can assure you that Robert and Lily are not their first names. Please, if you read a blog saying that a girl named Ciara Willows is part of this family, do not believe her.

About My Family

Okay, so in my last post, I told you a little bit about my family already, but in this post, I will tell you a LOT of things. Okay, so first off, as I mentioned in my last post, I have 2 sisters. Let's start off with Cecilia. Cecilia, the oldest sister, is very fashionable and sassy. She's a pretty popular girl and her blog is very famous. In case you don't know yet, the link address to her blog is http://www.interestingblog123.blogspot.com/. She's pretty nice but I really don't think she likes having another younger sibling. She's also really pretty. She has light brown long hair. She has very big curls. She also has brown eyes and a light tan. She is debating whether or not to get her drivers license. Chloe, on the other hand, has straight dark brown medium length hair, and her eyes are dark brown. Chloe has pale skin. She's very nice and she seems okay with having another older sibling. I love her, and I don't agree with Cecilia when she calls her a little brat. I play with Chloe all the time and when she asks me to have tea parties with her, I have tea parties with her. Cecilia and Chloe are the best sisters I could ever imagine having. I do not look like the Willows AT ALL. I have black hair and brown eyes and a really dark tan. My new mom, who I call Mrs. Willows, has straight blond hair and not pale, but not dark skin. Just in the middle. She seems happy to have another kid. My new dad, who I call Mr. Willows, has brown hair and pale skin. I think Chloe looks the most like him. Mr. Willows seems like he's happy to finally have another person in the house who's not a girl besides the servants. Mr. and Mrs. Willows said that I was the last kid to ever be in the family. I'm super happy that they chose me. My room is super cool. I have my own bathroom! My bed is super comfortable. And it's queen sized!!!!!! When I first stepped into the house, I gasped because it was so big!!!! I rode in the elevator up to my room. My room is so big! It's as big as the shared room in the orphanage. It has a little basket ball court and a punching bag. My bed is under this loft thing. I'll add a picture of my room below. Anyway, I have to go eat lunch in the huge dining room now. Bye.

My Awesome Room (This is only one corner of it)

About Me

Welcome to my blog!!!! My name is Zak Willows and I just got adopted by this rich family, the Willows. I am 11 years old. I was an orphan for 5 years. When the Willows adopted me, I was super happy!!!!!! I have two sisters, Cecilia and Chloe. Cecilia is 16 and in the 11th grade. She's home schooled. My other sister, Chloe, is 6 and in the 1st grade. She goes to public school. Okay, enough about me!! I go to private school, and I am in the sixth grade. Since I am new, I don't really have much friends. But I do have A LOT of homework. I have black hair and dark brown eyes. I was originally born in New York but when I got adopted, I moved to Maryland. That is where my new family lives. I LOVE playing football. Cecilia is completely grossed out by football. She said," You get stains on your clothes, and that's totes gross. And you get all sweaty!!!!" My room is right across from hers. She doesn't seem that happy that she has another younger sibling. But I love it there!!!!!! I get three servants of my own!!!!!!! Chloe is sick right now, and Cecilia is completely grossed out. Anyway, I will be posting on this blog at least 3 times in a week. I have school and football to concentrate on. And I really don't want to let my new family down. I have to go finish my homework now. Then, I have to get ready for football practice. Bye.
