Sugar Cookies

A couple of days ago I baked 4th of July (or Memorial Day) themed sugar cookies and chocolate chip zucchini muffins with my Grandma Barb.  I made the sugar cookies all by myself.  First, I made the secret recipe of grandma Barb's famous sugar cookies. While the cookies were baking, we started to make some white (secret ingredient) frosting (not from the tub you buy in the store).  Then I got out red and blue sugar sprinkles.  Next, we took the cookies out to cool.  While we waited, we watched ''HOARDERS'' on Grandma's TV.  After the cookies finished cooling, Grandma got out a small spatula.  Then she took the cookies and started frosting them.  When she is done with one cookie, she passes it to me and I put red and blue sprinkles on it.  After we were done with all the cookies, Grandma said that we should "taste our efforts".  They were delicious!  On Monday mom brought the cookies to class for us to eat.  I told them that I made them all by myself.  A few of my classmates thought that I put poison in them!  I told them this, "I was with my Grandma! She loves children! She watched everything I did!"  Stay tuned to hear about the chocolate chip zucchini muffins!

Vacation!!!

Hi everyone!  My mom and my brother (John, 10) went to St. Louis  on Thursday, May 16-Sunday, May 20.  They went to St. Louis because my aunt Christa is graduating from law school.  Christa has a son, Adrian (he`s 8). John and Adrian get along really good.  And aren't they lucky, they get to see a Brewers vs. Cardinals baseball game!  So now I`m stuck here with Dad, Charlie, Girly Girl, Ferb and Phineas.  There's only two good things about me not going:  Dad doesn't now how to cook very well so were` probably going to have pizza every night. Second of all, mom said she`d bring me back a stuffed animal.  Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.

Ghost!

Hi guys!  In my pasture I have cows.  Half of the cows already had calves.  There is this one special calf who has a grayish-whitish coat.  It's a he, but I wish he was a she.  We named him Ghost.  But today since it was raining, he sort of had a white, gray and brown coat.  But do you know what's really weird?  It's that Ghost's mother is orange.  All orange.  Ok people, I`m having a contest!  Everybody, (you don't need to do this) when you leave a comment, come up with a name for Ghost's mom.  Good Luck!
