Crafts And How-To's 4//26

So this week we will show you how to make a Toilet!

 

You will need:

*Tape

*Cardboard (Like a cereal box)

*A small square Kleenex box (You will need to pull up ONE of the flaps that go down.)

 

Cut a piece of cardboard the size of the back of the Kleenex box.

 

 

And Tape the Cardboard on to the back of the Kleenex box to hold the flap up.

 

 

Slip a paper clip onto the flap that is standing up.

 

 

And Tape on. (This is your handle to "Flush")

 

 

And your Done!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed! Look next week for a tutorial on how to make a sink!

Fun Day 4/27

Well Here is last part of the story. We are kind of sad to see it end, But Abbie has a new story for you so don't worry. :) She does have a question for you so if you will take that poll she would greatly appreciate it. :)

If you haven't read the rest of the story here are the parts. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. 

Ten minutes later we had pulled up in front of my house. The children gazed up at the tall white structure with the porch wrapping around it.

“Come Kids.” I said as I walked toward the house. “I have something to show you.” The kids ran after me then fell in to step as we when up the steps. I opened the door and guided them inside to the dinning room. The children eyes sparkled as they looked around. “Are any of you hungry?” I ask. All the heads nodded. “Then Have a set, I will bring out the food.”

Chairs clattered as my guests sat down and I brought out the food and served them.

Soon all the food was gone. We had devoured an entire Turkey, A big bowl of potatoes, gravy, peas and even the dressing. When everyone was done I said,

“Now I have something else for you. Come with me.” I got up and led them into the living room.

“Now set down anywhere.” I said as I began to hand out presents.

“Mandy will you get down the stockings?” I ask pointing to the fireplace. She got up and Handed everyone the stocking with their name on it. The Kids shook out the stockings and out fell candy canes, yo-yo’s and fudge. The twins immediately ate the candy canes. Then the kids opened their presents. Everyone got a warm coat, a hat, gloves and boots. They got socks and shoes, and the girls each got some new dresses. Peter got some pants and shirts. When everyone was done admiring their stuff I said, “OH!!! I forgot the last thing!!” I went to the closet and pulled out 3 new sleds. The kids screamed in delight. The twins ran up and hugged me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Rachel with her head in her hands. I freed myself from the kids and went over to her and put my arm around her.

“Put your winter clothes on and go play outside.” I said to the kids. When They had went outside Rachel looked up at me through her tear stained face said

“How can I ever thank you?”

I looked over at her and smiling said “You don’t have to. The looks on your children’s faces and the joy they have in their hearts was the Greatest gift anyone could have ever given me.”

Rachel just smiled.

Well What did you think? Did you like this story? Did it go where you thought it would? Tell us below! :)

Farming Report 4/24

Hello! Matt here with The Farming Report. With week the subject is...........Cherries!

Here are the fun facts!

•Cherries were brought to America by ship with early settlers in the 1600s.

•Michigan is the leader in producing tart cherries. They produce 200-250 million pounds of tart cherries per year.

•In 1852, Peter Dougherty,a Presbyterian missionary living in northern Michigan, planted cherry trees on Old Mission Peninsula (near Traverse City, Michigan). Much to the surprise of the other farmers and Indians who lived in the area, Dougherty's cherry trees flourished and soon other residents of the area planted trees. The area proved to be ideal for growing cherries because Lake Michigan tempers Arctic winds in winter and cools the orchards in summer.

•There are 7,000 cherries on an average tart cherry tree and it takes 250 cherries to make a cherry pie.

•The third week of July is usually the peak of cherry harvest in the US.

•Cherry pie filling is the number one pie filling sold in the US.

 

 

Abbie Wagner don't like cherries and will avoid them at all costs. :)

 

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Ask Abbie 4/23

Hello all! Abbie Here! Today we will look at a question from NailBiter, and it says,

Dear Abbie,
I can't stop biting my nails! I've tried everything and have run out of ideas. Please help me!
NailBiter

Well NailBiter,
This a hard-to-break habit, but you cando it, Start by finding something new to keep your hands busy, such as tapping your fingers toguether or trying to move them one by one without letting any other fingers move. (That's hard!) Then pick one "Safe" nail that you promise yourself not to bite. Add a new "safe" nail each week. Soon all your nails will be off-limits and you'll have this habit nailed!From the American Girl Magazine.
