For those of you who missed America's Got Talent this summer, be prepared to be entertained. Be sure and watch all three clips. Don't forget to turn on the sound.

He truly is awesome. This guy is from Mesquite, TX.

onions?

Today we were making cookies. Then we smelled something. What is that? Something was burning. But WHAT! Then my mom says open the door. She was caring SMOKING pans with burnt cookies on it. She said "I was cooking onions and forgot about the cookies. And I thought I was burning the onions." Out of the two pans half of one pan was okay to eat. They are really crunchy. Mom dumped the burnt cookies outside in the dirt. I was very sad, poor chocolate
chips...

Vinegar Stinks!


In this experiment, I will show how rocks can be broken down by chemical weathering.

Cast of characters for this experiment:Vinegar{It really stinks!}, limestone rock{from our driveway}, large glass{Gig 'Em Aggies}, some steel wool{I had to get this from Nana's}, and a small bowl.


Now let's get started...First I added a limestone rock to the Aggie glass. I was very careful not to plop it in too quickly and break the glass. Mom wouldn't have liked that very much.

Next I filled the glass...


3/4 full of vinegar.




Then we watched the rock for a while

{Tick. Tock.}


and saw lots of bubbles form and float to the top.



You can sort of see the bubbles here. The bubbles make the water look cloudy on the top of the rock. It was hard to get a good picture. They were bubbles like you see in Sprite when you first pour it.




The next part of the experiment has you place some steel wool in a bowl. I cut the steel wool that I got from Nana's in half.



Mom says that steel wool is great for sharpening scissors. I tried it out.

I poured vinegar over the steel wool.




I poured enough into the bowl so that it covered half the steel wool.




Next you have to let the steel wool sit in the vinegar overnight.




I turned it a few times through the night to make sure all the steel wool got a fair chance to soak in the vinegar bath. Fair is fair after all!

The next morning I examined the glass with the rock.

I swirled the glass a little and looked at the sediments in the vinegar that came from the rock. It looked like sand in the bottom of the glass.


I also looked at the steel wool.



It had stuff floating in the vinegar and had 'rust' along the edge of the bowl.

Wala! Chemical breakdown of some pretty tough stuff.

fire, dream, or alarm?

Okay, last night Will slept with me. I woke him up this morning at 6:23 because he was on top of me. He woke up and stretched. He said, “is it morning yet.” I said, “no go back to sleep.” He said, “Then why did you wake me up?” I said, “because you were on top of me.” He said, “oh I am going to go back to sleep.” I said, “Fine with me.” Then both of us were out! I think Will got up around 7:00 and got in mom’s bed. I was sleeping hard and dreaming about Will and fire. And at 7:45, I heard a fire alarm. At first I thought it was me dreaming and then I thought it was Mattison’s alarm so she could go babysit. Then I was like no that is the fire alarm, it is too loud to be Mattison’s alarm! So I got out of bed and went to Mattison’s room and she was there laying on her bed with wet hair and a towel around her and she had her eyes closed I looked at her I asked if she slept like that or if she took a shower? By then the fire alarm had stopped. She said that she took a shower. See what had happened is she took a hot shower and the fire alarm is right by her bathroom, and it went off when she opened the bathroom door. So today I got up at 8:00 and I kinda wanted to sleep late today but that did not happen because I could not go back to sleep!

Well maybe she will not take a shower in the morning and I can sleep!

my new buddies

Today Will had the end of the school year party, and it was at the pool! There were three little girls that just loved me. They were so cute. One of the little girls got on my back, and then I never ever got a break. We played games, and I gave them piggyback rides all around the pool over and over again. I loved it.

Will: they where under clothes in my closet.

Mom: oh so how did you find them?

fashion conversation

My friend Summer and I were picking out church clothes, so I asked her to come help me. Mrs. S said that I do not need her, but I need her sister. Her sister was in the shower so Summer was my only choice. On the way upstairs she said herself that when she goes to college that she would never graduate if she had to take a fashion class. I knew better than asking her to help me pick out clothes for church. Oh well, we are still friends.
