Bonnie 3rd Grade Cabbage Competition

My 3rd grade teacher gave all of the kids in the class a cabbage from the Bonnie Plant Company. I took it home and me and my dad built a box that was 3 feet wide and 3 feet long. We filled it with dirt and planted my cabbage[with an raw egg for nutrients] and waited for it to grow. It grew fast, more and more every day. After 10 weeks it was finally time to pick it. It weighed 25 lbs!!!!!!! I entered a picture and I hope I win. The grand prize is a $1000.00 scholarship! I'll find out if I won in September! Fingers crossed!!! Your friend, Veda [P.S. afterwards I went to plant a flower garden. When I was digging the egg hadn't broken yet and I hit it with my shovel. It stank for a long time!]

Last Day of Camp- Created 2 Praise

On the last day of camp we had "Pizza Friday" which means that they give us pizza, chips and dessert for lunch. I also got to decorate my fondant cake and my buttercream cake. For the fondant cake I "dirty" iced it rolled out white fondant and covered it then I decorated it and put it in its cake box. The buttercream cake we iced it and decorated it to look like food in a bag. One of my favorite moments was when saw a video of a baby monkey riding a pig [He is so cute!]. I would recommend Created 2 Praise to anyone because I had an awesome time. #Created2Praise Your friend, Veda

Ortho News

I have a cross-bite. The dentist recommended that I see an orthodontist [a specialist in making your teeth straight]. We picked Long Orthodontics Assoc.[LOA]. I visited, had spacers put in and now I have an expander. It wasn't to bad but the worst thing was getting the mold made of my mouth so the doctor could have the expander made. So an expander is put into your mouth to widen your upper jaw so your teeth fit together better. It has a little hole that you put a key in and you turn the key. Mine turns 40 times - I just hit 20 turns last week! Don't be afraid! It's no big deal! I really like Dr. Howard and the LOA team! Your friend, Veda

Wacky Wednesday Camp Day

Today was Wacky Wednesday at camp. We got to dress up and vote to see who had the wackiest outfit. I also made pie crust, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, and pear bread. The instructor gave us recipes for Dirt Dessert and S'more Bars which I made earlier in the week. In cake decorating we learned how to use the grass tip. I think this will come in handy when I'm making cakes! Looking forward to see what I learn tomorrow!

Lancaster Brewing Company-in the kid world-LBC-Last Day of School Celebration

Tuesday June 10th was Veda last day of school. It was also Veda's last day at Burrowes Elem. She is sad to leave, but excited to make new friends. We have decided since we'll be staying in our house for a few more years, that private school would be best. So that new adventure will start in August. Anyways, we always celebrate the 1st day of school and the last day of school by going out to eat. Veda always get's to pick the restaurant and she can order whatever she wants to eat. Unable to celebrate on Tuesday, we decided to head out on Thursday. Lancaster Brewing Company was her pick. Why? Because they have the best Shirley Temples! Who knew.

Meal- bacon mac & cheese (totally yummy) and London broil sandwich (delicious). Totally forgot to order the drink. Oh well guess we'll have to go back. This place got the Veda two thumbs up!
