It is Great Grandma Green’s birthday today! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday Uncle Phil. Uncle Phil is 27. Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday Uncle Phil happy birthday. Here is a pitchr of Uncle Phil as a baby.
We war waeting for Daddy. we wint out side. I wus siting on a rock. Momma siad to Audrey get the kamuru. She tuk sum pitrs of me. Then Daddy kame bak frum work.
(Translation if you need it) We were waiting for Daddy. We went outside. I was sitting on a rock. Momma said to Audrey, get the camera. She took some pictures of me. The Daddy came back from work.
Mrs. Clawson, a meteorologist from WNDU, came to our house yesterday to video tape us doing maple syrup.
Momma talked about school and how making syrup helps us be responsible. Then Mark talked how we make maple syrup.
She took some videos of the sap dripping into the buckets. We also drilled a hole in a tree and she made a video of that. She took a video of me carrying wood to cook the sap and of me pouring some syrup on a stack of four pancakes. She wanted the picture of the syrup being poured on the pancakes. Then we ate pancakes with maple syrup!
I don’t know if I would want her job. I feel uncomfortable talking to people that I don’t know. I would like driving places and learning different things. She said she spent most of her time on the computer editing stuff. I wouldn’t like that job. But, I liked learning a little about how she does it. It was a good school day!
I like sledding with Daddy at Oxbow. Thank you Daddy for taking us to Oxbow.

We were reading Understood Betsy. Betsy made some sugar candy and then she ate it. Her favorite was crunchy that was still soft inside. Momma said we could try!
Today, because it was snowing, we boiled some maple syrup and we made it into Maple Syrup Candy. You put it (2 cups maple syrup) in a pan. Then we got a bowl and put some snow in the bowl. Momma boiled it–because it was getting to hot– and then we went outside and spooned the maple syrup on the snow. It turned into maple candy!
Then we ate it. It was good, it was sugary. I only had two pieces. It was chewy and crunchy. If you put it in longer, your candy got crunchier. I liked the crunchy one. We have some in the freezer because there was some leftover (we promised Daddy some 🙂 )
Momma cleaned the syrup pan by boiling water for hot chocolate. It had a little maple syrup taste. I liked it!
Here is the recipe:
Momma said that whoever found her book would get a surprise. Me and Mark asked Mommy where is your bag that you brung to church. We found it!
So we got a surprise. I made something. I did not know what I was making. I did not know until they were done! 🙂 I have been wanting to make “Creamy Puffs” for a long time! Here is the recipe.

Mr. Mouse asked Mr. Bird to come in a people house. He showed Mr. Bird what was in a people house. Mr. Bird had fun with Mr. Mouse.I liked the part were the mouse asked the bird to come inside. I had fun reading this book.
This week I sewed a new quilt. It has Pooh Bear and Tigger and green, yellow and white and brown dots. I made red bows with embroidery floss. I used receiving blankets that Oma gave Megan. Megan outgrew them. Momma bought some backing flannel.
I did all the sewing. Momma taught me how to sew the quilt and I did it all. Now I want to make a bigger quilt!
It was fun! Megan likes it a lot because she uses it for church and she uses it to snuggle up in her bed. Megan likes it very very much!
