Yo,

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

 Yo,

 

Yo, Cricket! Hi, everybuggy!

My brothers' godfather subscribed us to Cricket and I loooooove it! The Ugly Birds crossword puzzle rocks! Can you do even more puzzles? Anyway, "The Star Shard" is amazing! And all the other stories, too.

Ladybug, I love you! You are my favorite!

Hi, Anna!!  Are you new??  I feel like I've seen your name before, but I figured you're new, since Kimberly said welcome.  The Crossbird puzzle is one of my favorite parts!!  Ladybug is my favorite, too!!  And Pussywillow...  And Cricket...  And everybuggy else...  Anyway, I am a seventh grade homeschooler who has lived in the wonderful state of Maine (ever been there???) for ten years, formerly living in Jacksonville, Florida (ever been there???).  I like to ski, swim, sew things for my friends, and chat with my great friends on the Chatterbox, especially Emily L., Kimberly B., Becka B., and Hannah M.  For pets, I have a grumpy, old cat named, :):):):):):):):):):), Cat, and I have two beautiful parakeets named Buddy (she's the girl) and B.B. (he's the boy).  Do you have any pets???  Welcome to the Chatterbox!!
