A-maze-ing!

The name of the girl with me is Anna. She's the one with no sleeves. She was born in China like me, the one who owns this blog. We are in a maze at the Pumpkin Farm. We're playing "following the leader." I got to be the leader.

Thank you for visiting this post. Bye!

Me and Sidney

This is Sidney and me on a ride. It is called Spin the Apple. We are having fun.

Word Up!

Wordgirl is a character on PBS. She comes on at 4:30. She is really Becky Boxford and she becomes Wordgirl to stop crime. I would like to make up a middle name for her. It would be one that's really tricky: Kally.

She has a monkey sidekick. His name is Bob when he's a regular monkey and he wears a diaper. If I gave him a middle name it would be Funny. When he's fighting crime his name is Captain Huggyface. He likes to eat when he's fighting crime. He eats bananas ala Boxford! He drives Wordgirl up the wall! Some criminals think he's a rat but Huggy is a monkey, not a rat!

I'm going to be Wordgirl for Halloween!!! Yay!

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/

Mama Post: September 19

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.

1 ¾ cups flour
