Swan Lake Oops Annie

Daddy said we were going to see Swan Lake with my big sister.  Daddy left me and Merri at a Cafe across the street from the Opera House where Swan Lake was playing while he picked up the tickets.   When he got back he said “change of plans, we are going to see Annie”

I am still going to have a great time with Daddy and

Merri.

Philly

By KiKi

I had fun in Philly I saw the Liberty Bell and I toured the Betsy Ross House.

We also went to Independence  Hall.

image

Inside the Hall we saw the the chair George Washington sat in while they were writing the Constitution.  This was the same place that the Declaration of Independence was signed eleven years later. This is what we saw when we went there.

George Washington was sitting here.

St Patrick’s Day Baking

Today is the 17th of March.  In Boston, it is a holiday called Evacuation Day.  Dad says Evacuation Day is the day the British were driven from Boston during the Revolutionary War.  I say it’s St Patrick’s Day!  My Dad and my brother are both named Patrick, so it’s a special day for my family.  Daddy had to do something to the car, fix the brakes or whatever.  While he played with the brakes, me and PJ played with the dog.  Dad promised we could make something special after he finished with the car.  We decided we would make chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and green shamrocks.  

Image

Don’t These Look Yummy

First Dad made up a recipe, he always makes up his own recipes, it usually comes out good so I don’t mind.

Image

Dad, what’s first on the list?

We got to use the big mixer.   We put the butter and sugar in and started mixing.

Image

Daddy, can I turn it on?

Image

I Cut the Butter into Small Pieces

Image

PJ Helped With the Sugar

Image

Wow, Look at How Good it Mixes.

Next we added melted chocolate, eggs, sour cream and vanilla.

We Melted Chocolate in the Microwave

Then We Mixed Some More

We got out another bowl and mixed together the dry ingredients.  We put flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa in the bowl.  Dad’s really funny, he wrote in his recipe to sift everything together but he just mixed it up with a fork.

Image

First is the Flour

After the Baking Powder Dad Measures Salt With His Hand

Here goes the Cocoa

French Toast Alert Wicked High!!!

Daddy says when snow is in the forecast you have to make french toast. I really like french toast in the winter time. Snow was forecast overnight, so today Daddy and I made french toast.

Add Egs

You Need Eggs

Daddy says we make our french toast with eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon.

Break eggs

Add More Eggs

We were using a whole loaf of bread so we needed a lot of eggs.   The some vanilla, sugar and cinnamon and beat everything together.

Look a Duck!

On our way to school this morning I saw a duck on Salem Street. I said” “Daddy, look there’s a Duck across the street.” He looked over and sure enough there was a mallard pecking at some snow.

Here is a picture of the duck.  Right after Daddy took this a car came by and the duck ran away up the street.  I think that the duck was a mommy duck looking for Valentine’s Day treats for her little ducklings.  But one thing is for sure it`s not everyday you see a Duck on Salem Street so this must be my lucky day.

SNOW DAY!!!!!!

Wednesday January 22, 2014, No School Snow DAY!!!!

They told us yesterday at school that today would be a Snow Day.  Daddy stayed home from work to entertain us.  Me and my brother got up early and were playing with our toys.  Dad was still sleeping and we wanted to wait until he had some coffee.  Dad is not very entertaining before he has some coffee.  Once Dad got up we had some breakfast and made a list of the things we wanted to do.  First Dad made us clean up our toys while he had more coffee.  Time to go out to walk the dog and see all the snow.

Image

They Cancelled School For This?

There wasn’t much snow on the ground but it was really cold out.  We ran around in the snow while Daddy took care of Penny (that’s our dog).

Hey You Can't Make Snowballs With This Snow

This wasn’t snowball snow so we made Snow Angels.

More Tracks!

We were out for about an hour but Daddy made us go home because Penny was shivering from the cold.  We didn’t think it was cold until we got home where it was warm and toasty.

Daddy put a movie on for us.  We watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid 1 and 2.  Daddy made us pepperoni pizza for lunch.  He did the dishes and fixed some lights.  We could hear him in the bathroom sanding something.  While the second movie was playing he started making rolls to go with the Mac & Cheese we will be having for dinner.  Daddy also rolled out the Gingerbread dough and made us Gingerbread People to decorate.
