Babci's Birthday

Today to celebrate my Babci's birthday, my family went to Olive Garden with her and Pepe'.  Also, my aunt, uncle and cousin were there too.  For my Babci's birthday gift, she treated us to lunch.  That's just the awesome kind of Babci she is!  We had a great time together!  Here are some pictures I took:

Happy Birthday Babci!

I love my Babci so much and I hope she had a great birthday!  Thanks for reading!

Yesterday

Yesterday was a great day.  The first thing we did was get up, play some electronics - as that is the Saturday tradition.  Then, we got dressed, and headed out the door to Kaison's.  Kaison's?  Oh, that's only like the best local place to get maple syrup.  Ever.

When we got there, we were handed a sample of syrup.  It was warm, gooey, and yummy!  We then bought some syrup drops and the actual syrup.  

It was now time to ride the cow train.  A man was on a four-wheeler, pulling a long train of - cows...fake cows of course but cows.  There we four, so my brothers and  my mom went in with me.  It was fun!

We then headed to Pat's Peak to watch the pond skim.  The pond skim is a yearly event where people ski down a hill that has a pool at the end.  If the people ski down at the right speed, they'll skim right over the pool and won't get wet!  As for most others, they end up getting wet.

Thank you for reading my blog!  Bye!

Cracked

You know, this has never happened, but we have two cracked smart-devices in one week.  We've never cracked one before.  My brother's iPod 5, and my Dad's Samsung Galaxy S3.  

My brother's was dropped by someone who was using it, but the crack isn't bad there.  It's right near the Home Button.  It's not even on the screen.  So that's good.

As for the Samsung, the crack when right across the screen, and my dad has no idea how it happened.

We weren't going to replace the iPod screen, but the phone was bad enough that we would.  Basically, the phone is completely dead now.  As we were taking off the screen, we heard a loud "crack!"...  The LCD was cracked.  We just thought that the area that it was cracked wouldn't work - but we were wrong.  It effected the entire screen.  Now there's nothing ever showing up on it.  

This = Not Good.

Frozen

Frozen.  Fro-zen.  I was expecting horrible things from this movie, but really, it wasn't bad at all.  I enjoyed it quite a bit.  There were many scenes where we died laughing at.  Mainly the ones with the snowman.  You should watch it!

Brownies!

Brownies indeed!  But this time, it wasn't mom who made them...it was me!  My first time baking brownies without adult help!  Yay for brownies!

An Alien Allergy

Once upon a time, in a galaxy – pretty close to here actually, there lived an alien named Gurgle.  He lived with many other normal aliens, and he was very normal too – except for one thing.  He was allergic to his own name.

He walked down the alien street, and said, “Hey Shmurgle!”.  Shmurgle replied, “Yah, how you doing Gurgle?” “Oh why did you sa-“  Gurgle never got to finish.  Gurgle’s allergic reaction started before he could even blink.  His left foot became humongous.  “Hey!” Gurgle said in a loud tone.  “Why did you do that?  You know I’m allergic to my name.”  Then Shmurgle replied, “Sorry!  I just forgot.  Now…how do we get your foot back to normal Gurgl- I mean dude?”  “Well, this wears off in a few hours – unless my name is said again…”

Next, he went to the Alien Super Market to grab some human carrots.  Human carrots were his favorite.  There was only one problem.  He couldn’t fit!  “Ahh my goodness!  I will never fit!” He shouted.  He tried to lug his foot into the store, but he just wouldn’t fit.  There was only one thing to do.  Wait until his foot went back to normal.  “This may be awhile.” He whined.

And it was a while.  But finally, his foot was back to normal.  “Yeah!  I can get in now!”  He said with a grin.  As he stepped in, shoppers and storekeepers alike both looked at Gurgle and said at the same time, “Hi Gurgle!”.  Then one shopper named Murgle said, “Oh dear, yo-“ .  But Murgle couldn’t finish.  Gurgle was ripped from the ground, his foot growing bigger every millisecond!  He soon could see the curve of the earth as he was far up in the sky.  “Ahhh!”  He screamed all the way.  He finally came to a stop.  “How will my foot ever get back to normal now?”

In the end, after weeks and weeks of shrinking, his foot was back to normal.  Gurgle thought of a plan to prevent this from happening again.  For now he would be called, Bugle, because it was different from all of the other “-urgle” names.  He was one of a kind, and he never had a foot problem again.  “Bye Bugle!”

Another Laptop

What?!  Yes, that's right.  A very nice friend's dad we know, (aka. Frad) said he was going to throw out a laptop that's been laying around.  But then, he asked if we wanted it to play around with.  Thank you Frad!  We've already installed a version of Linux called Debian on it.

Thanks again, Frad!

Running

Man, I really haven't blogged in awhile.  I decided though, to tell you what I just did.

I just ran my first run of the year with my mom.  Just 1.5 miles today.  This is the kickoff to many more runs!  Hurray for 48 degree weather!

Last Weekend

Yep, this post will tell you about last weekend!  So, last weekend, on Friday night, 4:00pm, it was time to pick them up.  Who?  Well, some good friends that live nearby.

First, we went to go eat at Masa.  I gotta say, that restaurant was amazing!  A cool part was when the cook burned a stack of veggies that looked like the part where the steam comes out of a train.  As he did this, he blew out of a train whistle - "Choo Choo!"  We also liked the part where our cook sprayed lemonade into each one of our mouths.  But I think all of our favorite part was when our cook pulled out a little boy doll, pulled down its pants, and made it pee on the flames...  Then he made it pee all over us...  Of course though, it was only water - or was it?

Then, it was time to head back to our house.  We claimed that we would pull an all-nighter.  Because that's what this whole thing was all about.  After just about rotting my brain out with video games, I went to sleep at 1:00am.  Everyone else stayed up until 8:00, which was when we all got up, ate breakfast, and fell asleep.  All except for me, who had slept earlier.

After we were all up, we went outside a little, played inside a little, and it was time for our friends to go home.  We helped pack up, and drove them back to their house.

I had a great sleepover last weekend!  I thank those friends for making time to come over!  Thanks for viewing!  God bless you all!
