Soap Making Fun

We went to Grandma's to make soap. It was AWESOME! I made 15 bars of soap.

We got to choose the scent we wanted to add to our soap. I added pina colada, cucumber, roasted chestnuts, apricot, and clean cotton smells. They smell good. We first had to melt the soap base. Then we added the color we wanted. Then the smell. Then we poured it into the mold. I did a frog, apples, snowflakes, birds, pear, and a choo choo train.

The soaps were awesome when they came out of the molds. These are some of the soaps we did.

Daffodil Parade

We went to the Daffodil Parade today. Aunt Juliet, Kingston, Dallas and Cody came too. We didn't have time to go home before the parade so we had Honey with us. Honey was really scared of the loud noises especially the bands. Mom took her down the street so Mercedes could watch the parade with us.

Mom and Honey

Parade time!Pirates Mercedes and Richie could have been in the parade with their school but they didn't want to.

Grandpa would have liked all of the old tractors that were in the parade.

Pizza Party

We had a pizza party today at grandma, grandpa and aunt Tammy's house. We all made our own pizzas and it was so good!It was hot outside today. We were dancing in the front yard. It was fun. We went swimming

I found a four leaf clover. Lucky me!

Aunt Derrinda played tetherball with me. It was windy.

We went downstairs to watch The Ten Commandments. It was a fun day.

Lock Down

We had another lock down at school today. There was an armed robbery at one of the businesses in town so all of the schools were in lock down. At least once or twice a year we have to do lock down at school because of a robbery in town.
