Science Experiments

On Tuesday, I had my first 12 week Science Experiment class. We studied about germs, and did an experiment on the best way to clean our hands of germs. We tried just cold water, just warm water, cold water with soap, warm water with soap, and hand sanitizer. Each time, after we washed them, we put some orange stuff on our hands, turned on a black light, and it showed where the germs still were.
I learned that warm water and soap is way better than any others for getting rid of germs. I also learned that hand santizer did nothing to eliminate germs. My mom hopes that I will use what I learned and do a good job washing my hands!

QUESTION: What happened when the cat ate a ball of wool ?

ANSWER: She had mittens !

3rd Snow

This is our third snow and we got five inches this time! The first time we got 10 inches and the second, we got 5 inches! I don't ever remember this much snow! I made a long tunnel, and got stuck in a snowdrift. I loved playing with my dog, Hershey in the snow because it was his first snow, and he loved it. He also got stuck in the snowdrift.

My Meal Creation

I asked Mom what we were having for supper, and she asked what I wanted. I said, "hamburgers," but she didn't have any. She said she didn't have penne or spaghetti either. So, I looked at what we did have, and I told Mom that I would create supper! I cooked lasagna noodles (whole wheat) and then grilled some chicken. I cut the chicken into strips, and cut the lasagna noodles into thirds. I rolled up the chicken strips and put them in a pan. They looked so cute because I could put two of them across the dish. Then, I covered it with spaghetti sauce and white cheese and baked it! Mom and Dad and I all really liked it (Conrad doesn't like many things with spaghetti sauce). You will have to try it!

Ice Skating

On December 12th, we went ice skating at Crown Center for Jake's birthday. I learned more about ice skating this time, but I still had my feet slide out from under me. Mom helped me. Someday, I might be better. My favorite part of the day was when we had hot chocolate and giant cookies after ice skating. Aunt Stephanie made us all matching scarves, and I really liked them.

Bandit

My cousin, Michael, who lives in Nebraska has a pet racoon. We got to see her when we went for Thanksgiving. He found her when she was a baby in an old barn and bottle fed her. We saw her in May when she was a baby. Now, she is so big! They built him a house with a tree inside for her to climb. She liked to climb on my back and put her nose in my ear. In the first picture, she is a baby in May. In the second picture, she is big and eating a roll that we took to her.

First Snow!

Today it snowed!! Mom had to go up to the attic to find our sleds. We took Hershey out and played with him and went sledding. We also had a snowball fight--I am sure I won. I hope that it stays around for tomorrow.
