News from My Corner of the World

Hey Guys!
As some of you I'm sure know, We are the main planners of our church's Reformation day party on October 31st. It is going to be a ton of fun! We're gunna have games and speakers and out entire theme this year is on John Calvin. Lots of us are dressing up, and it is going to be so much fun! I'm going to make my costume, because I don't have one that fits me. I'm thinking about doing a dark blue. Here is the dress I designed in my sketchbook. I'm hoping to make it look something like this! If I get it done, I'll take a picture of what it actually ends up looking like! C y'all soon! I'll try to post before long!

Sir John

John Dressed up like a knight! So I took pictures and I thought you might like to see some of them! We had a lot of fun!

Silly Putty Stuff

Hey there! Scarlett came over a few days ago and we made silly putty! It was a lot of fun. Some of the stuff we made was really stretchy! LOL (See last picture!) we took some and slowly started stretching it! It got soo long! It was a ton of fun!

Here's the recipe in case any of you want to try it!

4 cups water
2 tsp.s 20 Mule Borax
mix together in bowl

2-3 Tbsp. liquid school glue (or more if you want more but you don't need a lot)
Food coloring!!! (Whatever color you want, but I suggest not mixing colors unless you want to end up with brown)
Mix the food coloring with the glue thoroughly. Pour glue mixture into the Borax water and then use your hands to mix the glue stuff together. (Keep it in the water.) When it finally sticks together, take it out and have fun! We like to keep it in Easter Eggs, but whatever you want would work.Plastic bags etc. (Warning: After a while ((a week or two, maybe three)) the putty will get very sticky and gooey, and will make a big mess! At that point it simply needs to be thrown out!)

~~Home Again~~

Hey Y'all!
We've finally got back from our trip! YAY! We had a great time! Grandma and Grandpa have a tennis court in their neighborhood, so we got to play tennis in Iowa! And then in SD we had a great time at the Army Day and Home Front Day! We had a Great time at a dance afterward too! We did square dancing and a little waltzing, and we did the Virginia Reel, and the Grand March!

I'll post more soon!
