Happy Easter!

 Hello Everyone,

I hope you are having a great Easter! I went to Winterthur with my cousins and had brunch starting at ten-thirty. Then we walked to the Enchanted Woods and had a great time! Our cousins had to go back to their home this afternoon, and we were sad. :-( We had a great visit - they came last week so we had a while together. ♥ :-) I hope you had a great Easter, but what did you get? Here is a list of the things that I got (the gifts that I can remember!):

1. Nana & Grandpa-
   Lipgloss
   $10 (:-))
   Candy (bubblegum, Starbursts, etc.)
   Notebook with pen
   Colored Pencils
2. Cousins, Aunt, & Uncle

Any kind of topping:

Other. . .
Tools:
Plate
Oven
Blunt (not that sharp) Knife
Cutting Board
Cookie Sheet
Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 375 on bake.
2. Cut as many tortillas as you want into eighths. This means cut in half, cut each half in half, and then all in half again.
3. Spray cookie sheets with oil, and place the tortilla pieces on it.
4. Put in oven, and set timer to 15 minutes, or until the chips are crispy.
5. Have an adult help you take the cookie sheet out of the oven.

I love these chips, and so does my family! I hope you like them too!

New Photo

Hi Everyone-
If you didn't notice, I just put down a new blog photo! My glasses were getting new lenses, so I didn't have them on. I really liked this outfit, so I got my Mom to take a picture of me. I hope you like it!

This Week's Scenario!!

From the title of this post, one might think that I am going to have a CRAZY week! I really don't know!

Monday- Meet grandparents and take water taxi to Fort McHenry.

Tuesday- Zumba, swim team (for my little sisters).

Wednesday- Library (for my little sisters), swim team (for all, I believe :( ).

Thursday- Music Lessons (for all), swim (??)

Friday- Rollerskate.

That is my week, and I don't know if that is ALL we are doing! My Mom hasn't told me everything that we are doing.

Another thing is that my Dad (My Wonderful and Awesome Daddy-o!) is going to Texas for work for a few nights. =( This is the second time he's been to Texas, but the first time he only went for two days. This time he is going a little less than a week.

I have, my sisters and I, have this week off school! Yay!! It is one of our planned weeks. I have no idea what we are going to do, other than what's on the list.

I got new lenses in my glasses. I wanted to keep my frames, because they fit me, and because I like them a lot! My lenses are transition, and to those of you who don't what that means, it means that they turn either gray or brown in the sun. Mine turn gray, and this is my second, in a row, pair of transition glasses. =)

I'm going to get a new blog photo!! I don't know when, but it will be soon!

That's all I can think of!

Keep reading!

ALT Codes

I was Googling a site for ALT (alternate functions) codes. One of the codes I have been using is the heart (♥). There are many other ALT codes. Click here to go to that site. You'll have to scroll down in order to see the list. If you see the big numbers, like 235, just press ALT, 2, 3, and 5 at almost the same time. This is what that the symbol would look like: δ

Tri-State Bird Rescue

Today I went with my RE group to a bird rescue place. We didn't see any birds, just the places where they kept the birds.  We were helping them get ready for the spring "rush."
One thing I did was make meal-worm substance. Yes, it might sound gross, but the only thing in it that might be gross is ground Guinea-Pig pellets. The fact is that we need to feed the worms special food because the people need to know what they are putting into the birds. The birds eat the meal-worms, who eat the substance. If you ever have to feed meal-worms (which probably won't happen!) here is the recipe.

Meal-Worm Substance

1 cup ~ Wheatena

1 cup ~ Oat Bran

1 cup ~ Yellow Cornflower

1/2 cup ~ Ground Guinea-Pig or Rabbit pellets

1 ~ Ziplock bag (per all ingredients)

Pour the ingredients into bag. 

Grind the pellets until there aren't any chunks.

Add that to the bag and mix the bag up until thoroughly mixed.

Feed to meal-worms!

 To the meal-worms - enjoy! 

I enjoyed my trip there. I really learned a lot. One of the things I learned was that even though humans have a good intention of feeding baby birds, it isn't a good thing. The birds won't migrate, because they think that they can get food from the fishers. When the fishers leave, the birds would die from hunger. =( That would be a shame. 

At the bird rescue, the people help the birds a best as they can. And they try to release them where they found them. If they can't, they try to find a similar place. 

I hope I gave you some interesting information!
