A silly story about a cat and a dog...

A silly story about a cat and a dog...

Once there was a cat called umm cat that lived in a big hat. One day the cat went under a mat and a dog sat on the mat where the cat was. When the dog left the cat moved the mat and the cat was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo flat. Then the cat got up but the cat was still flat so the cat lived the rest of its life flat. Then one day the cat wanted revenge so the cat put the dog under the mat while it was sleeping. It took an hour to put the dog under the mat because the cat was weak because the cat is flat. So then the cat sat on the mat then the dog got flat. Then the cat walked back to the big hat. Then the dog woke up and removed the mat then the dog got mad because he was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo flat. Then along came a goat the dog went under the mat to hide from the cat. Then the goat sat on the mat were the dog was.THE END

Today Mum, Dad, Lotte, Rhys, Possum the dog and I went to the bach. Our bach will be finished soon. We already have some handmade bunk beds and a pool table in the other half of the bach. Today we moved in a big cabinet into the second part of the bach that we're working on. There were two separate parts. Mum and Dad had to move the cabinet because it’s really heavy. After moving it in place Lotte, Rhys and I started playing with it like going inside it and doing a magic trick. While doing this Dad called me to help him on making some stairs for where the doors are. After making the first one we were thinking of staining them so we did. After staining the one that I made with Dad I went and stained a little under one of the sliding doors with Mum. After that I helped Rhys stain some of the stairs that he made with dad. Then I stained another stair. 
After staining some stairs I went inside and did a puzzle with Mum and Lotte. Lotte then stopped helping with the puzzle. Mum and I got a lot of things done on the puzzle. After a long time we then left the bach and headed home.

Today Rhys and I did some baking. We baked muffins. Mum helped a bit. This was the first time I have made baking without mum. After making the muffins we put them in the oven. After cooking we had to wait two or three minutes to eat them. They tasted really good.They keeped falling apart a bit though. The muffins were meant to be apple muffins but we didn't have enough apples so we had to do pears.

Today Rhys did a lego competition. He first made a rollercoaster, then a spaceship and tomorrow he will build a house. 
For lunch mum made us some sconces. 
Before dinner mum gave us a colouring competition. It took me awael to eat my dinner because I was clouring at the same time.
In the afternoon we watched a movie called How To Train Your Dragon 2. It was an awesome movie but a bit sad. I would like to see How To Train Your Dragon 3 because it sounds like a cool movie. 

27.3.20
Today we watched How To Train A Dragon 2 again. Near the end of the movie Mum said to go on a walk so we did. 
We walked from our driveway to Hayleys driveway. On the way down my driveway I said to Mum to run down so we did. I was nearly there but then I had to slow down because I had a bad stitch. Then Mum got a head of me but then I only just bet her in the end.
When I got inside Lotte and Rhys were watching How To Train A Dragon 3! I told them to rewind it to the start so they did. It was a really cool movie. It was sad at some points too. 

28.3.20
Today Mum, Rhys and I stacked wood in the wood shed. It was really hard and difficult to do. Lotte didn't help at all but dad came down to check on us.

Today we went to town. We came to town to go to the runoff but first we went to farmlands to get Rhys some gumboots and me some overalls. Before going to farmlands Mum had to ring them because we can’t go into farmlands. The people that worked at farmlands had to drop off the stuff we ordered in front of farmlands with a number that says 3. After picking up the stuff at farmlands we then went to the runoff and drenched the calfs. 

20.4.20
Today I had to go to the runoff with Dad in Kaiata. When we got there some had got out, but we fixed it. We had to spread out hayballs in the paddock that the cows were meant to be in. We then opened up one of the fences that the cows broke through.

Today Rhys and I made Chocolate Brownies Mum had to help a bit thought. When we finished we got to put icing sugar on. They tasted really nice.
Today we also went on the farm with Dad to weigh crops. It was fun and interesting. We had to throw a hoop and then find where it went. Once we found it. Dad would pull out all the green bold turnips that were in the hoop and put them in a bag.

Today after the afternoon hangout with Mr Fogarty, Hayley and I got some face time on the computer. Mum and Andrea said that Hayley and I can both make cupcakes. It was annoying that we had to keep moving the computer so that Hayley could see me. Lotte keeped getting in the way while I was trying to talk to Hayley. It was also annoying when Hayley kept glitching out. I had to use Mum's computer. When Hayley and I put our cupcakes in the oven. We just sat down and talked to each other until the cupcakes were ready. We then made icing. Hayley made green icing and I made pink icing. I wanted purple icing but there was no blue. Red and blue make purple. When I put red in it, it made pink. Hayley just used a knife to put the icing on. I used a piping bag. After putting on icing I then put on some white pink and yellow sprinkles and stuff like that on the cupcakes. After that we then got photos.

They tasted really good.

If you want to make Chocolate Brownies follow this recipe from my Mums cook book

Chocolate brownies

150g butter
3/4 cup cocoa powder
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup self-raising flour, sifted

Preheat oven 170℃. In a saucepan gently melt the butter and cocoa and stir and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla until thick and creamy then fold in cooled chocolate mixture and flour. Pour mix into cake tin and bake for 30-40 minutes or until brownie springs back when touched.

If you want them to look more nice sprinkle on some icing suger like I did.

The Long Weekend

The Weekend
On Friday Andrea decided that we should have an Anzac thing down where a bus stop is. We did it Saturday morning. We had to get up really early. Mum opened the door to the car so that everyone could hear the radio. At some point we had to stand in silence. We then put the poppies that we made on a big rock, and left them there except for Lotte. We also got photos. 
On Sunday Dad and I went down to the workshop. We made a sign for our bach. The sign said LITTLEWOOD which is named after my great grandparents house. When Dad was carving out the letters I wanted to carve out a J for my name. So Dad got out some wood and let me carve J on it. While doing that I cut my hand with the chizzel. It didn't really hurt. 
The next day Dad, Lotte, Rhys and I all went down to the workshed. While I was still fixing up my J Lotte and Rhys wanted to do it too so they did. Rhys was just making lines of stuff. Rhys also made a J but the other way around. He then made a L, M, D, R and a J but the other way around. Lotte didn’t know what to carve so she did a square. 
When I finished some of my J I heard a cry coming from behind me. It was Lotte. She had blood coming down her fingers as I told Rhys to find Dad to help Lotte. I didn’t know what happend at first, I thought she either cut herself with the chizzel or hammered her finger. Later on Lotte came back with lots of blood on her hand.
When I got home I told Mum that Lotte had hurt her hand. I asked Lotte what happened, she said that she cut herself with the chizzel.
