Today Momma wanted to try a picture idea. The idea did not work, but we had some other pictures that turned out very well.

First Soccer Game of 2018
Today I had my season’s first soccer game. It was a good game, but tough. We lost 1:3. (I think we only scored one point all season last year 🙂 )
Soccer Started
This week, soccer started. I have a new coach and some new team mates. We have only had three practices, but I think I will really like him.
If you would like to come to one of my games, this is my schedule for this season. The bold games are home games.

Twins-Sort of
Last month we babysat our cousin. Nora had brought her pajamas. Megan had a pair that sort of marched. Megan declared “We are twins!”
Megan and Nora had fun playing and copying each other.
Puzzle Day
Happy puzzle day! I hope that you have fun doing this word search that we designed today. 
Click on the word search and then print. Please let me know if you do the puzzle. Have fun!
Max
I felted our neighbor’s dog for them. I really like the way it turned out.
Elkhart Parks Photo Contest
We entered the Elkhart County Parks Photo Contest again this year. I put in seven pictures. It is my last year that I can submit pictures in the “youth” division.
Photos will be displayed at the Elkhart County Historical Museum (304 W. Vistula Street in Bristol, IN) from 10:00, 20 Jan thru closing on Friday the 26th. It looks like the hours are 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Tuesday through Saturday.
We plan to go Saturday morning. Maybe I will see you there!
Super Easy Bread
I wanted to try an experiment. I took a good pizza crust we like and a dutch oven bread we like and combined them. All the measurements are approximate 🙂
A little less than 5 cups flour- 1 Tbl sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2.5 Tbl yeast
- 2 Tbl oil
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- Mixed all together.
- Knead dough well.
- Let rise in greased bowl till doubled.
- Preheat a dutch oven in the stove at 450.
- Carefully put dough in dutch oven and place in oven.
- Bake for about 30 minutes with the lid and then take lid off for the last ten minutes or until bread is golden.
- The bread will sound hollow when done.
- Cool before cutting
I think I would like it a little fluffer. So next time I would punch the bread down and let it rise again when I preheated the oven. Another thing I will try is shredding cheese to put in it.
Felted Penguins
I learned to needle felt. I got the materials for Christmas. I like doing it. I want to do a dog next.
Profiteroles (Cream Puffs)
When I was younger, I wanted to learn how to make cream puffs. Momma let me. It was easy and fun. I made them again last night, but with home made Nutalla instead of chocolate. 
You can also find the recipe here and the Nutella recipe here.
