Sunday at Apple Butter

On Sunday we woke up at 10:00 am and left the house at 11:00 am. We went over and had a church service and my cousins and I had to say a speech. The service was abut an hour long and then we went out side to play some games. Then it was lunch time, so we came inside and ate different chili. There also was a chili competition where the best chili gets a spacial chili bowl that says all the people who have won in the previous years.Then after lunch it was time to pack up and clean up from the Apple Butter weekend. Once the packing up was done a lot of families had started saying good bye and heading off on the road. A couple hours later we went back to the farm house and packed up with my cousins. We choose not to go for a horse back ride. Finally my cousins left to go to the airport and my family and I hit the road back to Minnesota. It was an 8 hour drive back to Minnesota and I as cooped up in the very back of the car. I don't like sitting in the very back of the car because I am all alone, but I get a nice way to lounge. That's all for this time. Toon in next time when I talk about Thanksgiving.Talk to yah soon!!!

Saturday at Apple Butter

On Saturday we got up at 4:00am because my Uncle made us go and help start the fires. We were there for 30 minutes before somebody that we knew asked if we wanted to go help bake donuts, sticky pecan buns, and cinnamon rolls at our aunts place. All three of us love to bake so we said sure. In the morning it was very cold so we also wanted heat. When we got there we started making cinnamon rolls, then helped put the pecans on the sticky buns and then fried the donuts in the fryer. My aunt has a business so she has a lot of very professional appliances. When we were done baking our 2nd cousin came to pick us up and the breakfast foods to take back and deliver. We got to eat first because we made the food. After breakfast we helped stir the apple butter. Then it was time to start a game of capture the flag. I helped hid a groups flag by sitting on it. My cousins and I were sitting in a hay bailer. A hay bailer is a machine that bails hay. Nobody knew we were in there until after somebody got the flag for the other team and then we still kept it a secret because we just walked out with the flag in our hand and they didn't know where it was. After capture the flag we went and had lunch. After lunch it my cousins and I chose to go back to the farm house and take naps and do homework until it was time for dinner. We came back for dinner and after dinner it was time for the shotgun tournament and my cousins and I won the tournament. In the tournament they shot clay disks up into the air using a machine and my cousins and I worked together to win. Then after the shotgun tournament it was time for the hayride. On the hayride the driver picks somebody new to drive and I was chosen to do it and I was allowed to bring my cousins along because one sat on either side of me and they helped drive. Finally it was time for more night games this time all we did was play ghost in the grave yard and I won. At the end of the night my cousins and I had to help clean the big kettles that the apple butter is made in. We finally were able to go home and do more homework. Allison, Cate, and I were all so tired we fell right in bed that night. nex time I will be talking about Sunday at apple butter. See you soon.

Friday of the Family Reunion

We started driving down on Thursday and drove halfway and stayed the night at a hotel. We woke up at 8:30 and we didn't leave the hotel till 10:00 or 10:30. Once we were on the road we got to the Farm House where we would be staying. I had Chicken Noodle Soup and some peppers. I was so glad to be out of the very back of the car because my sister had brought her best friend down this year. I did a lot of homework on the ride down and while I was there. The time flew by from when I got there and when it was time to go over to where we make the Apple Butter and meet my cousins there. When I first arrived I went out side and played with the little kids. When my cousins finally got there we started leading group games. My cousins names are Allison and Cate. When the games were over we went inside the big silver shed and started helping peel the apples. When the apples were done Ali, Cate and I helped put food out for diner. We had Pork Barbecue Sandwiches. I started more games like Ghost in the Graveyard and Hide in go Seek. It was really dark so when I hid I would lay down in the middle of the grass and nobody would see me because it was so dark. Then we went back and did homework because my cousins also had homework so we all did homework together. We had to go to bed earlier then we normally do because the next day we had to get up very early. The next day we had to start the fires. Tomorrow I will be talking about Saturday at my Family Reunion. See you tomorrow

Halloween

For Halloween I was a witch. My witches costume was purple and black with a purple hat with black lace or mesh. I wore boots and my sisters friend did my make up. My mom and dad were a goblin and a cave women. My sister was a witch and was handing out candy with her friend at her friends house. My dog was Ms. Piggy from the Muppet's. Every person who came to the door laughed at my dog because she was a good girl and my parents were bad people. My mom bought to many bags of candy so after i was done trick or treating i gave the extra candy and my candy that i didn't want to Simon. Simon asked for my candy before Halloween and so I said I would give him my extra candy to him and Samantha gave her candy to Ben. Ben was late so i yelled at my top of my lungs in the middle of the street saying Ben come get Samantha's candy in the next 5 minutes or you don't get it at all. Next time I will be talking about Friday at my Family Reunion. See you next time.

First Day of the Second Quarter

It was good to be back in school. I got spelling, a new lunch period because I got moved to lunch A. I had so much fun being back at school because I actually like school unlike other people. I like the first day back for each quarter because it makes me feel happy to be getting homework again because in the last quarter for me there was like 3-4 weeks hat I didn't have any homework. I also feel that the first quarter went by fast because today was already a new day to the second quarter. I think my favorite part of this quarter is going to be the journaling/blogging for Language arts with the one and only Mr. Streit. I love t journal and write so that is why I think that journaling is going to be my favorite part of the second quarter. That's all I have to say for the first day of the second quarter and I will be back tomorrow with the topic of Halloween; so tune in tomorrow.
