Soccer Day

I am on a soccer team. There are six kids. We like to play. Hollis is very good; I wish I was as good as Hollis. I have scored a goal at every game, though.

On the left is Gracie; she can kick HARD! Trevor is next to her; he's kind of funny. That's me who owns the blog next! Finally is Hollis. He looks a little grumpy here.

We have oranges in our mouths because Trevor's mom brought them.

Pumpkin Farm

Once I went to a pumpkin farm. If you notice what Daddy's doing, he's pretending to throw a football with a pumpkin! The girl who looks Chinese is Meiping. She's from China. She's a student at the college where Mama teaches. Mama is in the blue shirt. I enjoyed picking out a huge pumpkin. It cost $16 because it weighed 40 pounds! The other pumpkin only cost about $2. It weighed around 4 pounds.
The pumpkin farm is called Baldwin Farms. Mama will post the link. http://www.baldwinfarmsky.com/

Carlyn has made an endorsement in the Presidential race.

I came home from work yesterday to find 7 copies of this sign taped to the front door.

Carlyn's readers are free to speculate about which parent was delighted and which was appalled.

Weekend Scones!

On the weekends, we like to make scones.

It looks like I'm saying, "I WON THIS!"

There will be seven steps to making scones. Step one: put the butter in the microwave but first, chop it up. Step two: add the milk. Step three: mix the scones. Step four: eat the chips. Step five: mix in some food coloring. Step six: make it into little circles. Finale – Step seven: eat the dough and put some in the oven, but save some for yourself. You can dye it, you can sprinkle it, you can even make it different shapes and sizes. Enjoy!

Today's scones were teal and pretty purple. I used dye.

CARLYN'S SCONES
1/3 cup butter
1 ¾ cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
4 or 5 tablespoons milk or half-and-half
½ cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or mixture
Food coloring

First Day of First Grade!

This is my school.
My teacher is Mrs. Gilliam. I LOVE her! She does cartwheels when we are good! And she gives us candy when we're good, like if we walk good in the line.

My mom took this picture on the first day of school. I'm cracked up because one of the photos ended up showing Toulouse's bum! Toulouse is my boy cat; he's the cat in this picture.

The Pegasus Post

This is my horse, Pegasus. He is my favorite stuffed horse and I really love him. That's why I want to you to see him. This picture is him and me sitting in our stairway.


Pegasus is a good horse. If you come to my house, I can show you the tricks he does.

My Auntie Lynne gave him to me.

My father tells me Pegasus stories; Peggy comes from Fairy Tale Land.
