MS Walk

On Saturday, April 10th, we did the MS Walk. Last year, I just rode with Dad in the golf cart to give rides to people who couldn't finish. But, this year I joined the team and walked. My favorite part of the day was the muffins for breakfast!

Basketball Practice

I am playing basketball this year with Upward. My cousin, Eli, is on my team. It is a lot of fun, and our first game was on Saturday. I really like it because I get to learn how to play, and I like my team and my coach. We play every Saturday for 8 weeks.

Ice Fishing

On Sunday afternoon, Dad, Conrad and I (and Stitch) went out to the pond to ice fish. The ice was about 6 or 7 inches thick. First, we cut four small holes with a chainsaw. Then, we put worms and power bait on the hooks, and then put it in the hole. We didn't catch any fish, but I LOVED it. We only get to do it about once a year, and I was very sad when it was time to come into the house.

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!

Friday Funny!

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.
