Camp McGuire

After a rough firstday, Flopsy enjoyed the next day much more!

Dear Mommy,

I love you, and miss you. Life here at camp is so much fun. My counselors are Audrey and Megan!

I have a new friend, his name is Thor. Thor is big and snores a lot but I like him, his counselor is Adrian. We play a game called ‘The Couches are Lava’. If you get on one they take you off, so the flames are extinguished! We play it easy so all the couches are lava but our beds are safe.

We don’t know when mess hour is but usually it’s after Audrey gets home both times . Audrey leaves a lot but it might be a surprise for me… Or it might be to feed the animals across the street, but I don’t know and I won’t ask.

It has been snowing here a lot. My biggest problem is that it is very cold out.The camp is very nice and warm and I like it a lot.

I am learning lots of new things like obeying, reading, and writing. Maybe I can get my hair dyed red like Audrey and maybe it will turn pink, I like pink a lot! I hope you are cool there and make sure you drink a lot of lemonade.

Love you a lot,

Flopsy

Babysitting Flopsy

This month we are babysitting Flopsy (Oma’s dog). She is white and small. We are making up stories about Flopsy with just a little bit of truth in them.  Here is the first note that “Flopsy” wrote to Oma.

Dear Mommy,

I love you! These weeks without you have been soooo long. Audrey leaves a lot and I miss her, I whine hoping she will come back faster but they don’t like it. They also don’t let me on couches, they scold me when I get on one. At night when I go out Audrey puts me on a leash because I decided to take a walk on my own one night.  She did not like having to come look for me at their neighbors.

Their big dog is mean. He eats my food when I don’t touch it for a while, he sometimes drinks my water too! They put me in a cage when they leave but Thor (their dog) gets to roam around, it’s just not fair.

Mommy please! please! please! Get me out of here! Get back soon! Otherwise I might starve to death! But it’s time for bed now mommy.

Goodnight mommy.

Love;

Flopsy

Jump in Puddle Day…

Today Momma, Megan, and I went to library and then the park and splashed in puddles because ­today is splash in a puddle day . We found a large puddle and played in it for a while, we had lots of fun today and got very wet!

Sledding

Today we went sledding and had lots of fun. It was was warmer then the last few days. There were no people there and no large bumps on the hills. I went the farthest on the sleds. (To be argued with Audrey 🙂 )

We had a try to bump into momma contest, Andrea won! Momma moved out of the way just in time.

When we where done we played King (Or queen) Of The Hill, this time Megan won. Then we went to see the river and there was ice on it. We made some snow angles on it. Then we went home and got some hot chocolate.

Going Sledding!


We had lots of fun on Christmas, we went sledding! Daddy got to go with us too! We had a lot of fun. Momma and Daddy got some new red round sleds for us. I went really fast! It did not take very long to get to the end, Megan went the farthest.

Vacation

How Santa goes on vacation. I heard he is going to Hawaii, but first treats his reindeer ice cream at the RedNose ice cream store. It’s Rudolfs side job.

Stew

Today I made stew with Italian bread and salad. I had fun making itIt was easy.

To make the stew I used*

  • Two small to medium or one large onion
  • Three pounds of chuck roast
  • Four carrots
  • Three cups of beef broth
  • 2 celery ribs
  • Six small potatoes
  • Two cloves of garlic
  • A dash of Worcester sauce
  • Oregano to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Cut onions and put in crock pot, unwrap the roast and place in crock pot add pepper, oregano, and garlic and put on the lid and turn the crock pot on low. After about three hours add the potatoes, celery, carrots, and broth. When you are almost about to eat it (or slightly earlier) add the Worcester sauce. Serve in bowls and eat with you favorite Italian bread with garlic butter and salad!

*We just used what we had on hand to make it, you can add other things in it.
