Coming Clean
Oh man. You know that crazy stone Stoogles gave me and how it’s been working so well at bringing me luck? Well, it turns out that all of my friends were just playing a trick on me. Do I ever feel stupid. How did I find out? Well, I went to school today and I was positive that I had my lucky stone in the pocket of my jeans. It was working like a charm – literally – because this morning I aced my spelling test (and spelling is not really my strong suit). Then when gym came around I was kind of dreading it because I was sure I would be picked last for hockey. But guess what? I was picked first! And it wasn’t even one of my friends who was choosing today! And to top it all off, I scored a goal! It was a thing of beauty. When I was changing out of my hockey gear, I patted the pocket of my jeans to make sure I had my stone, but it wasn’t there. At first I thought I must have dropped it somewhere but then I … Read more

Millie’s Birthday Party
          Dear Diary,  Well, we had Millie’s birthday party today and I have to say: it went pretty well. Millie had fun (she said it was the best party she’d ever been to) and the other kids seemed to enjoy themselves. There were only a few minor incidents (of course).  The first one happened when I was wrapping Millie’s gift (a jewelry box). I was in a huge hurry (I had to help decorate and the kids were arriving in less than an hour)…and I dropped it. It fell to the floor and made kind of a ‘clunk’ noise. I didn’t think much of it, until I opened it and found the ballerina that was supposed to dance around lying on her side! I got out my craft glue and glued her back into place and hoped for the best. I finished wrapping in record time. The good news is that the glue had dried by the time Millie opened the gift – and the dancer still danced around. Whew.  The party started and everything was going well, until Millie started freaking out and saying that someone was … Read more

Fancy Flower Sandwiches
Millie’s party is coming up really soon, so it’s time to start preparing the food and getting the decorations ready! Since it’s almost springtime, I figured I’d make some adorable flower sandwiches. They’re so easy to make – and very cute. Here’s what you do:  Make your sandwich. Millie likes tuna salad and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so that’s what we’ll be having at her party. Cut the sandwich out with a cookie cutter. You’ll want to use a cookie cutter that doesn’t have any really small parts (it might rip the bread when you cut it out). Because I’m making flower sandwiches, I’m going to garnish the middle of the peanut butter and jelly ones with cherries, and the tuna ones with olives! Put the sandwiches in the fridge until it’s time for the party. Make sure to wrap them well!
