Exciting day

Today is Adrian’s Birthday. Adrian went out with Daddy. They went to Grandma’s Pancake house.. Adrian had fun. Daddy had fun too.

When we were at Science Sleuths, Adrian and Megan had a date. They went to Steak and Shake. Momma got his five year old pictures. This is one of them. Megan is getting pushed for the very first time!

Happy Birthday, Adrian! I love you Adrian.

P.S. Thank you for the strawberry shake. It was good!

Fun School Day

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!

Maple Syrup Candy

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:

  • Take two cups of pure maple syrup and boil it to 234 -255 degrees Fahrenheit. We did it close to 240 degrees, but Momma said we would try a little longer next time.
  • Take the pot carefully outside. Do not put it in the snow because it cools to quickly! Pour the candy on the snow. Let cool a few seconds.
  • Pick up candy and eat. We played some with it because it was like toffee and we could pull it.
  • Don’t let it sit in the snow long or it will start to dissolve and you have maple flavored snow.
  • Boil water in pan to clean out remaining syrup. Use the water for hot chocolate or your favorite tea.
  • Enjoy!
