Give Thanks!!!!

We made a pumpkin pinata and had to get packed for our long road-trip tomorrow. The pinata is for Thanksgiving. Dottie and I painted the pinata like a pumpkin. Tomorrow we our going to my cousins house. All my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents will be there. Some friends of the family are coming too. My baby cousin will be there and I LOVE her! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I'm an artist!

I colored a picture today! It was in a Hello Kitty coloring book I found in my storage cabinet. It only had about one other page colored in it! I got it for a gift a long time ago and it is pretty much new. Dottie and I got 2 shots unexpectedly today. My brother had to get checked today. When we were there, my mom asked the nurse if she could schedule our shots. The nurse said we could get our shots that day. When we had got the first shot, the nurse said we needed to get another. After both of them, we got to pick out a toy or sucker. Dottie and I both got a sucker. Then my mom got us a happy meal at McDonalds.

Fall purse in a day!

This is a purse I made in just one day!
I was in my room when I picked up the sewing kit my Aunt sent me a long time ago. It included 4 pieces of felt, all different colors. I decided to use my time making a fall purse for my mom. Just in time! I found the button in my mom's little cup where she keeps all the tiny things that are lose in the house. I got a sewing basket filled with thread and needles that I used for the purse. It was a lot fun to make, and fun to use to store chap-stick, keys and other little things.

Polka-dot rock

This is the rock I painted!
It looks very nice in the playroom.
It also goes well with the theme of our blog!

Polkie's Birthday!

I had my tenth birthday on the third!

My mom made a cake that had purple ( my favorite color) flowers and a ten candle! I got a big bag of m&ms and balloons and a really cool banner that my mom made from my parents, some really cute clothes from my friends the Irwins and a backpack and matching lunch bag from my aunt and uncle!

Cupcakes

We made our favorite white cake recipe and used buttermilk instead of regular milk. These were really good!
Love, Dottie

Festive Watermelon Treats

These are watermelon circles.
It was a fun festive summer treat and I will be making them again! To make them use a teaspoon. Cut a watermelon in half and make balls turning the spoon upside down, pushing down lightly and then turning up. Put in a plastic bowl, keep repeating this till the watermelon half is gone. Between about 10 circles, empty the juice in the sink. Once you are done with both watermelons, put the balls in the 2 halves. Now enjoy this festive melon treat!

Nature Walk Answer

Hint: Cavyfrg guessed right! Except the color, which is green.

Watch out for snakes!

My Aunt was blowing leaves at her house and saw something in the bushes. She took a closer inspection and found it was a rattlesnake! She killed it by running over it about ten times with her Jeep!

Hint!

The seedlings are flowers (I think annuals) and start with a "Z"!

The starting of Nature Walk!

It is the starting of Nature Walk! First I wanted to show you the picture of sprouting plants I said I would plant!
Guess what color and kind they are. It will be going from today to the 3oth.

A yummy treat

We had ice cream sundaes! Mine was chocolate chip mint, ( My favorite!)
with whip cream and strawberries!

Visit to the beach

We went to the beach for Mother's Day.
In the ocean a seal was honking super loud! It was cute though. The sand was like glass because it was shiny, hard and smooth. We found some empty crab shells and some pretty ones too.

Visit to the VA

The VA is the Veteran's Administration. I was able to tour the hospital this past Friday with my good friends that work there for "Take a child to work day". I got to participate in the once a year earthquake drill. This is our friend Bill pretending to be an victim. That's fake blood on his hand. And that's fake hair!
The picture above is the pharmacy robot. It distributes medicine very quickly.
This is me in my scrubs. Scrubs are clothes that protect you when you are delivering and picking up instruments (instruments are medical tools) from different floors which Wanda and I did.
I had so much FUN!!! Thank you Bill and Wanda!

Scribbles,Marshi and Gus

Scribbles and Marshi ( I call Marshmallow Marshi for short ) and Gus get along well.
Gus likes to snuggle up against Marshi. Scribbles does it too but he loves to explore the house!
Scribbles and Marshi are 6 months. They came from the same mother.
I still have not found the seeds I want yet. I may get them tomorrow though. I'll post soon!

Big Announcement!

These are our new guinea pigs. The big, brown one is Gus, the new black one is Marshmallow. You might wonder why he's black and named Marshmallow it's because he is supposed to look like a burnt marshmallow! The new brown one is Scribbles. They are both small, a lot smaller than Gus! Before we got them they were even smaller. We got them from some friends. We are really happy to welcome them to our family!

BIG NEWS COMING!!!!!!!

Come back soon to read a BIG announcement!

Gus's Dog Neighbors!

This is Gus's Dog
Neighbors.

Tessa is the white fluffy dog. She died last year but she was very fun to play with and exciting to see.

Below her, is Grace. A dog they got after Tessa died. When they got her she was missing her leg she still is very active but she hops to walk.

Below Grace is Lily. She is very peaceful but still can be playful. She does not like getting bugged by other dogs but she loves Grace. She liked Tessa too.

Spring baking

These are cookies I made all by myself!
The apron I'm wearing I also made by myself. Even though are calender is full I can still make all kinds of food!

For spring "Nature Walk" is our next theme.

Funny Miss Kitty Story!

Our Aunt just sent us this story about Miss Purrrrrfect!

One night last week, we were sleeping and I heard a loud banging noise. I got up to investigate and saw Miss Kitty sitting on her hind legs right in front of the side window of the front door. She was batting the window with her front paws repeatedly........first one then the other! When I got closer I could see another cat sitting at the window on the outside! The cat was white with brown spots and I had never seen it before.It wasn't doing anything but looking and Miss Kitty looked like a Rock'Em Sock'Em robot!!!

We think she's been watching our Uncle and Aunt play boxing on their Wii!!!!

This is Miss Kitty!

This is who we like to call Little Miss Purrrrrfect!
Last summer when we went to our Aunt and Uncle's house she was very fun to be by. She's soft and cuddly. I think she's shiny too! Her name is Miss Kitty.

JUNIPER...Gus's BIGGEST cousin!

This is Gus's biggest cousin Juniper! He is a very nice cousin for Gus but they have never been by each other so it might not go so well.

Chewy and Sierra!

Meet Chewy and Sierra! They are Gus's chinchilla cousins. Chewy is gray and is a standard gray chinchilla.

Sierra is white and is called a silver mosaic chinchilla. She has patches of gray on her tail and back leg. We think they are really cute!

You use the points in the store to buy prizes and candy.

Homemade Quick Pizza!

It's easy fun and cool! (and taste good!)

We used hamburger buns, sauce, cheddar and parmesan cheese. It's better to toast the buns, and then put them in the microwave but you could just put them in the oven.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!
We hope you have had the best 2008 and hope you have the best 2009!
