glass straws

Hi!

My mom bought these glass straws that have these dots on the sides. When she first let us use them it kinda freaked me out because the dots were black and looked like flies! I love the straws and it is better than the plastic ones we used to throw out.

See you,

School Lunches

HI!

My favorite school lunches are my mom s spaghetti with home made tomato sauce and meatballs. I also like Romaine lettuce. Romaine lettuce is a type of lettuce that is crunchy on the inside and regular lettuce on the outside. If you like toppings on your salad you can put some of your favorite toppings in a glass Tupperware container so you can use the toppings to make your salad more exciting. I don’t like toppings or salad dressing.

the parrot encounter

Hi!

The other morning (at 6am!) when my dad was leaving for work, he found a parrot walking up our driveway! The parrot was wet and squawking. My dad put his finger down to him and he crawled up to my dads shoulder. We ended up taking care of it for 5 days. We made flyers and ask our neighbors if they were missing a bird. Well we didn’t find its family but we found it a new family. It was s sad to see him go but since we have 2 cats and a dog we just couldn’t keep the parrot.

after school activities

Hi!

In the fall I play soccer and my dad coaches my team. I like soccer because I get to meet new people and have fun! I also horseback ride. I have been riding for almost five years now! My favorite horses at the barn are Rosie, Baby chips, Princess and Skippy. I might start dancing, but I am not sure yet. Check back !
