For my  birthday  we made big bubbles and glow in black light bubbles. Momma cut open some florescent markers and soaked the wick in about a half cup bubble solution. When it got dark, we blew the bubbles by a black light so we could see them.

Flopsy came over and brought me cupcakes. Grandma and Grandpa said when they pulled into the driveway, she started whimpering to get out and play. She knows where we live!

We had lots of fun.

June 1st Soccer Game

congratulationsDaddy is trying something new for soccer. One of us will be on the left, another on the right. One will be defense and one in the center. He is changing it so we are not all together and it is harder for us to try to steal it from our team mates. Since Upward soccer rules are a little different than “normal” soccer, we have not played like that before. It is tough. Coach Daddy says we will practice a lot more during practices.

I don’t know if we did as well as we normally do. But we still won; 4 to 3. Audrey

Kittens

HollyCatToday we went to check on the new alpaca.  Mrs. Beer was there. She  said that she couldn’t find the kittens.   We found them under a workbench. We did not know she had kittens.  Mrs. Beer said when they went to pick up an alpaca, they had new kittens and asked Mrs. Beer if they wanted some.

The one is nice and fluffy and the other one has stripes. They are sisters and they do not look alike at all! They are both shy, but the soft one is the shyest. The striped one will show Mark his claw, and Mark only likes cats that show him their claws. She purrs when you hold it. Megan can hold the striped one, the other one jumps out of her arms and hides.Kitten

Cherry Cobbler Day

CobblerHappy Cherry Cobbler Day!

Today we made some cherry cobblers for the neighbors and for our dessert. It was good!  Here is the recipe in case you want to make it.  It was very sweet, so you might want to cut down on the sugar.

Easy Cherry Cobbler Recipe

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (or use all flour)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups sour cherries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 TBL flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Pour melted butter into a 9×13 inch pan. Combine the flour, almond flour, sugar and baking powder.  Mix in the milk and then pour over butter in pan without stirring.

In a clean bowl combine cherries with 1/2 cup sugar and tablespoon of flour. Add to the top of batter without stirring.

Bake for about an hour until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream 🙂

**We did not follow the directions and doubled the recipe and it still fits into a 9 x 13 inch pan in case you need A LOT!**

 

 

Rare Bird Sighting

WaitingEggwaitingBabyWe went to Oma’s house to mow her lawn. When we got there, we saw the biggest bird I have ever saw! It was smaller than an Ostrich, but slightly larger than a Secretary Bird, I think.

It appears to come from Alaska, because it had a funny Poler Bear marking on it. We watched it waiting for an egg. It had gone off for food and there was not any eggs. It came back and when it went off again, there was a funny colored egg! It was a pinky purplish color!

Momma said we had to go because Daddy and Mark had finished mowing the lawn.

When we came back a week later to mow the lawn, we saw a very bored Momma bird. She looked like she wanted a book, but we were afraid she would fly away. Then, we noticed a crack in the egg!

The Momma bird got out the nest and watched the egg crack open more. Slowly, we watched a baby bird come out of the egg! The Momma bird looked so excited. I thought it was neat that the baby bird looked almost like it’s Mom! It had the same Polar Bear markings on its tummy.

When we came back a week later, we watched it fly away. I missed watching the baby bird grow. That would have been fun.

I wonder if this bird will ever come back. I will be watching for it.
