A Quick 'Mallow!

I know I have strangers out there who love smores and others who don't, personally I don't.  They have always been too sticky, or we didn't have graham crackers or chocolate.  So I have come up with a way to just use a marshmallow. The name you ask? That just so happends to be...

The Quick 'Malllow!!!

Ingredients
1 marshmallow
1 sheet of wax paper (or microwave safe plate) 2 times as big as marshmallow
Microwave

Directions

#1.  (Picture 1) Place marshmallow in center of wax paper.
#2.  (Picture 2) place marshmallow and wax paper in microwave.
#3.  (Pifture 3) set microwave timer to 30 seconds.
#4.   watch it grow!
#5.   let it cool and eat!

Tips

You can also put it on a plate (like I did!) If you don't want to deal with the noise of wax paper.
The bigger the marshmallow the bigger the treat! I used a small marshmallow so small treat (picture 4)

I hope you like it, and I would love to hear how you liked it in the comments below!

This wonderfully boring morning is, well I already said it... wonderfully boring. You might not think I should put the word 'wonderfully' in front of boring but today it is in fact, wonderfully boring. For the past few days I have been waking up at 6: 00 am and going to help my mom in her classroom , but today I got to sleep in and watch tv. Just in case your day is not wonderfully boring then I have compiled a list of actions for you to do , if you dare!

2. Chug a cup of water because you are thirsty after running
3. Smile for 5 minutes
4. Brush your teeth
5. Hug someone for ten seconds
6. Lick your knee (1st picture below)
7. Sing a song like a robot
8. Bark at a window when a car goes by
9. Share this blog with a friend!
10. Dress up your pet, or sibling or toes
11. Pour a cup of water on your head
12. Scream your name to the skies
13. Write yourself a long letter to open 2 years from now (seriously, DO IT)
14. Write with your dominant hand (2nd picture below)
15. Make a hand face (3rd picture below)
16. practice an instrument, even if it is found online.

Glasses! Glasses!

They say that seeing is believing, but before now I haven't been believing much because I couldn't see well. So today I finally got my new glasses! They are perfect for my nearsighted eyes! They are purple and are made by Candies' brand! The only bad thing about my glasses are that I keep touching then feeling the need to clean them, all the time!

Anyway if you have glasses (or want them) then I would love to know the color and brand!

The Classroom

My dear strangers, today I went to my mothers classroom, and at first it was a mess (picture 1). The only real clean things before achool starts are the freshly waxed floors (picture 2) - those are amazing! We were nearly done with her classroom, but after a while we started messing around with witch glasses (picture 3 ) and wizard cloaks (picture 4). Oh, how I love that wizard cloak.

Please comment if you have anything weird that you do before/during school!

BBQ and Bluegrass

Today, my fellow strangers, I traveled to a bluegrass festival and they had tons of BBQ. I was psyched to get my hands on some BBQ, but my dearest mother, in an effort to save money, brought snacks instead. By snacks I mean half a bag of Fritos, half a box of crackers, a quarter bag of doritos, and a bag of pluots. If you don't know what a pluot is then I will tell you the definition on the bag..."pluot is plum." Yes that is exactly what it says. Also at the festival they had a bouncy house, a park, a pool, a little pond (picture below) ,lots of BBQ , and amazing music. I definitely want to go again next year.
