The Home Coming of Paul

Us making, cough.. delivering a note from Majora

 

 



                     So Paul has been in Europe visiting a orphanage in Romania. When he came back we... Helped tiny Links move into his room + delivered/made a note from Majora to him; went to the airport to pick him up in the midst of his youth group, with signs that broad casted that he belonged to the rambunctious group laughing and overall obviously having the most fun of anyone there; (though I do believe I detected some stares) and as you can see opened and snarfed down his presents from Romania. My favourite ones where the Espresso Dark Chocolate; and the Dark Orange Chocolate. They were all delicious though, their Swiss chocolate manufactured in Romania. Paul actually got to meet the guy who makes the chocolate. He also learned that it's named Heidi because that's what his daughters' name is. Well I guess I will part by saying, Schokolade ist der beste!

Chewy Chocolate Cookies + Open Houses

                                        Don't know why it's turned, gonna be working on it

 

 

 

 

               This picture was taken shortly before hunger games and getting soaked. ( I explained Hunger Games right? Not the book or the movie, we actually play it just with Nerf swords in a neighborhood. ) Anyways the pictures are of Chewy Chocolate Cookies, super good though we usually use mint chocolate chips instead of the M+M's. I'm gonna refrain from the recipe this time and instead tell you about my weekend! So the Kohr's girls ( I mentioned them before they're from Omaha really good friends of the family.) came down for Paul's grad party a little ahead and so the weekend included... The new and old Star Trek really good I recommend them the new in my opinion it was better. (It had Benedict Cumberbatch in it so of course it was good) Lots 'o' eating, a park visit, watching BBC From Time To Time, talking, drinking coffee, and of course the awesometacular party/open house. Which included, Rice krispie treats, my chewy chocolate cookies, soda in a boat, my nephew Ben, and afterwards a amazing game of Hunger Games. Schrijven later bis bald.

Transporting Myself to Sweden

                     Yesterday I woke up unusually early and to make my morning great! My coffee was not as light as it looks, I don't put that much creamer in. The cereal is Reece's puffs and they are the very best ever I eat them all the time. So I got this idea for going to Sweden through coffee from my grandma as she would say, " Swedes love their coffee" and I sure do love my coffee if I could I would drink it everyday! The rest of the day included, Ann coming and us getting to talk to her, going to the pool, and playing Hunger games before bed! So good eats and good times!!

Puppy Chow

                     The oldest, (maybe probably not) the yummiest, the absolute best, PUPPY CHOW!!!! You got to love it and if you don't there is something wrong I would advise to go see a docter. Everyone was accese to this delight go to your local grocer and get some chex right away!! So right now chloe is staying with us and I know I've probably said this before but she is just so adorable. This week was been over all pretty normal but it's going to get very usy on Saturday, because what I have to do is Keyboard merits at my piano teachers house, our neibors open house, and moving our brother. Signing out yours truley forever.

Pie Day!!

               Yesterday we got to work making pies. We made a Derby pie, and a Cherry pie, and of course, a Hershey pie. They were all yummy and of course delicous, but the hershey pie turned out kind of fudgey instead of fluffy. I guess that is alright. Anyway today we went to Patrick and Ann's graduation party and walking down "The Hill" it was fun but painfully, hot the temperature was not that hot but the sun was so hot by the end we were soaked in sweat. Then we went to Patrick's  Uncle and Aunt's house and had the biggest best meal ever! Well I'm going now, bye bye now.
