Bread Day

Several days ago I went over to Jess's house to assist her in the fine art of making bread. Apparently some water does not appreciate that beautiful art.

Jess and I were just tootin' along in the kitchen making a record pace for making bread. And, of course, my little buddy Elijah decided to help us knead the bread. At first, all was going well. But everyone knows that when you cook with a 2-year-old, there has to either be a funny moment or a disastrous moment. Thank goodness it was the funny moment.

Jess and I were kneading happily with our chunks of dough, and Elijah started getting squirmy and wanted to have his own chunk. Jess gave him hers and went over to the sink. At that moment, Elijah plopped his head down on the dough and started to lick it. He picked his head up and there was flour all over his face along with snot on the dough! We finished kneading the bread and stuck it in the oven to rise while we ate lunch and watched carefully to make sure Elijah didn't plop his head into something else.

And then the moment of truth..... We were watching a movie downstairs when Jess decided to go check on the bread while it was cooking. You see, Jess hasn't had too much luck with making bread. Apparently in never rises. We had successfully risen the dough the first two times and we thought she was over her times of non-rising dough. We were wrong. She comes back downstairs and said the the bread didn't rise. I run up the stairs as fast as I can and look at it. It had shrunk.

Jess took me home later and we brought some bread for my parents. They saw it and started laughing. Apparently her water has to much iron and it killed the yeast once it was put into the hot oven. Sometimes, toddler snot in the dough just doesn't matter when your baking bread. Since it didn't rise, they didn't even eat it(;

Giga Pudding

Mommy sent me an email with this Japanese commercial for Giga Pudding. Who knows what it actually is made of? Pudding, but what is Giga? What's really unappetizing it when it jiggles back and forth. Yeah, you really have to see this.

And it also has the team photos!

Fun Days

Hello world! Today I am supposed to write a blog entry for school, so I chose to talk about something fun I've been doing for the past couple days and for a day or two more. Grampie is out of town for a few days, so I came to stay with Grammie. It has been soooo much fun! Today we go over to Aunt Pam's to do sewing and eating. Two extreme sports.

Mommy sent some school work with me, so I'm busy trying to get that done so we can go to Aunt Pam's!!! At night, we just sit and watch TV shows that we want to see. Oh, and the ice cream. How could I forget the ice cream! We sit in the living room, eating ice cream and watching TV. What a dream!

Mommy's New 'Do

OK. This is officially what happens when Mommy and I both don't feel good and Preston and Daddy are gone. I become the stylist and Mommy becomes the victim, uh, customer. Yes. Customer. Though she didn't pay anything. And yet Mommy didn't suspect a thing, or hope she didn't when I was laughing hysterically behind the green chair. And she was such a good sport and hasn't taken them out yet! How exciting!

Library Volunteering

Today I volunteered at the library, and I got to shelve books!! They even gave me my own cart!! I was soooo excited, though I wasn't allowed to jump up and down in the library. I'm supposed to be an example, right? Well, I wouldn't be a very good one. I have volunteered all summer just to shelve books. And now, the end of the summer, I FINALLY get to! Today is a day for miracles!

Who Knew?

This morning Mommy announced that TODAY was the day when we would clean and organize the house. I did not want to clean. I never do. But, there must have been some fairy that was going around and spraying me with happiness, because I volunteered to clean the biggest room on the house - the living room. And while I was cleaning I felt that I wouldn't want to be doing anything else except swim. And I don't know why. Now, you see, if you've known our family long enough, you'll understand that each year we just get weirder and weirder. Well, that's true for me anyways. Today must have been the day when I became weirder.

Some of you might not think that's possible.

Anyways, WHO KNEW that cleaning could be fun?

My Awesome Shoes

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Man, she really is a girl, talking about her awesome shoes on her blog. But, really. They. Are. AWESOME!!

Mommy and I were at Target and they were having a big shoe clearance. So, naturally, I had to take a look. I was looking through all the racks with shoes thrown everywhere. Then, down came a ray of light and some angels singing. There was a pair of Converse sneakers sitting there and they were just my size. My mom kind of looked at me and said, "You REALLY like those?". That's kind of how she says, "Those aren't really my favorite." I think it might have been because they were men's, but I wanted them anyways.

In the end, I got them. Here's a picture my mom's friend took with her phone.

Now don't you see how awesome they are?

The Mean Kitty Song

Last night, after I showed Preston The Mean Kitty Song, he started singing it and running around and jumping on things. I told him to stop, but he said "No Sissy, I'm looking for our little Sparta." I just started laughing and Preston asked me what was so funny. I told him that there was nothing wrong, and he went back to, "Come here my little Sparta", walking all around the downstairs.

The Daily Puppy

Hey everybody and I want you to introduce you to a new gadget I have called The Daily Puppy!! It's all the way down at the bottom of the page, so scroll down every day to see a new picture of a cute puppy!!

Hey Everyone!

   Hello world and welcome to my first blog! I've always wanted to have one, but now I actually have one. Considering this is my first ever blog, my templates and gadgets will probably change constantly. In this blog, I will talk about and introduce my family, friends, pets, and hobbies.

    Homeschooling is also another thing I like to talk about. That's a fun way to spend your day and get your school done. And that way you can also have sleepovers on school nights and then just bring your school along and do it with your friends. And that makes ALL the difference. doing school with friends is soooo much more fun.

   And, at last, swimming. That will most likely be a constant subject. I'll post my times and places after a meet and maybe a video or two. One of my favorite things to do.

  I hope you enjoy my blog about my life, which is, hopefully, never boring.
