Still Love them

I like Cheerios. I prefer regular, but I like Honey Nut Cheerios too. They are my favorite breakfast cereal. I have liked them since I was little. Here is a story from when I was little.

Cheerios

By Audrey, age 3 (26 September 2007)

I put the Cheerios in the bowl. Five bowls from downstairs. I come upstairs with the bowls. I put some Cheerios in there. A lot of Cheerios!

I ran away with them. I was going to MacDonalds. I ran away again. Then I ran away lots of times. I ran some more! Some Cheerios ran away too with me. I hold the Cheerios and ran away with them to MacDonalds.

Momma saw me. Momma take a picture. “Come over here! No, Don’t get no more Cheerios and run away with them. With lots and lots of Cheerios.” Momma put them in the box and put the Cheerios away.

I really a lot and a lot like lots of Cheerios.

I don’t have any more. I not do it anymore.

The end.

Something New I Can Do

I told Mark, “can you help me ride Andrea’s bike?” So he did! He helped me, he holded me and then he ran with me and let go. I rode for a little bit and fell.

Then I ran inside,”Mom Mom! I rode Andea’s bike!” Momma said, “without me seeing?” She said, “no way! You can’t ride it!”

Then Momma got some brownies ready–she made them yesterday without us knowing–and said they were to celebrate.

Then I showed Mommy. She let me ride on the road. I shouted, “Zoooommmm”. She took pictures. Momma was surprised, because this was the first time someone helped me to learn. When Mommy watched, I had to turn. With trees in the way, I crashed into them. I did not get hurt, Yippee! Then I ate my brownie! It was good.

I liked riding Andrea’s bike. I liked surprising Mom. She was very surprised. I want to get my training wheels off and ride some more!

Groundhog Day Fun

GroundhogsToday we went to Nature Nuts and learned about groundhogs. Groundhogs are also called woodchucks, whistling pigs and marmots.

Groundhogs eat lots and lots before winter.  Then they make a hole, get in their hole, plug up their nest and the hole, and then they go to sleep.  And they snore like this “ashoo, ashooo.”  Their body temperature goes down really low. How long does it go to?  (Momma remembered that Miss Krista said about 37 degrees Fahrenheit).

Groundhog AdrianWe made a fun goody, learned a new song, and pretended we were groundhogs. We learned that “Punxsutawney Phil” jumped out of his hole and when he saw his shadow, said “Winter’s not over for six more weeks!”

Groundhog cupcake

Here is a fun treat to make.  Bake your favorite cupcake and frost it with vanilla icing.  Cut a hole in the cupcake and stick in a small Almond Joy candy bar. Sprinkle with crushed Oreo Cookie “mud”.  Decorate with mini M&M’s.  Share with your family!

We learned this song–Here’s a Little Groundhog (to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”)

Here’s a little groundhog, furry and brown,
He’s popping up to look around.
If he sees his shadow, down he’ll go.
Then six more weeks of winter – Oh No!!

I hope you like winter!  I like winter very very much!

Art Exhibit

VaseWe made some vases.  Then we painted some flowers.  Then we cut them out.  Then we glued the flowers on the vases.

You need a dark room.  Then you put a piece of paper on the wall and then you turn a flashlight on and then you make your silhouette. Then you cut it out and glue it on a big piece of construction paper.  You make your flowers–we used water paint.  Then cut them out.  We glued the flowers on.

Picture

I made a picture of me and Daddy.  I used a white board and markers.

These are my best work this week!

Peanut Butter Cups

Press in peanutbutterI wanted to make “Reeces Peanut Butter Cups.”  I like them.  Momma said that we could make some.top with chocolate

First you mix peanut butter with butter and powdered sugar.  Then you paint melted chocolate on paper cups.  Put the peanut butter inside and put dark chocolate on top.  Let the chocolate get hard.

Then you eat it! They taste Yummy Yummy Yummy.  They are better then the store bought ones.  Eat enjoy

Lost Tooth

ToothToday, I lost my tooth!  Daddy pulled it out after breakfast.  It did not really hurt, but I felt it pull.  I am glad it is out.  Momma noticed when my tooth came out, the other front tooth seperated from another tooth, so I have two gaps in the front of my mouth!

I am going to give it to the toothfairy.  I will put my tooth in a little matchbox, and put it under my pillow. She will give me something in the matchbox while I sleep.
