Reasons to take a bath?
We were reading Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. The story that we are talking about today, a little girl did not want to take a bath! So her momma called Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and here is the cure. When she gets sooooo dirty you can plant radishes on her, plant radishes!
Read the book to find out how to stop selfishness, and never want to go to bedders cure. So far I like it, but there is not much about Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, just a lot of her advice. So far it all works out!
Here are some poems about bathtime.
Dirty Lill, Dirty Lill,
Lived upon a garbage hill.
Never took a bath and never will!
Spit Kaphoohy! Dirty Lill.
Great Grandma told the poem to Oma when she was little!
Here is Audrey’s favorite one;
I have a tiny turtle, his name is Tiny Tim
I put him in the bathtub, to see if he would swim.
He drank up all the water, and ate up all the soap,
Now he’s home, sick in bed, with a bubble in his thoat!
Poor Tiny Tim!
Here’s a tongue twister to learn:
“Surely Sylvia swims!” Shrieked Sammy, surpised.
“Someone should show Sylvia some strokes so she shall not sink!”
So, Remember to take a bath!

Yummy Cookie Recipe
Yummy Oatmeal Cookies
About 3 dozen, but that depends on how much dough you eat.
3/4 cup butter softened (1 and 1/2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar (we used 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup soft white flour (you can use all purpose if you want)
1 tsp cinnamon (we use a little more)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 3/4 cups oatmeal (we used quick oats, but you can use any kind)
1/4 cup wheat germ (but you can use another 1/4 cup oatmeal)
1 cup chocolate chips (we used half dark chocolate M&M’s too) Put it over the brim a bit and eat the ones on top.
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 tsp secret ingredient (optional)
Lots of love!
Wash your hands with soap and aqua! Do it again! 🙂 So you get all the junk off of them.
Combine butter, brown and white sugars, (snitch right after you cream in the sugar and brown sugar) milk, egg (wash your hands again) and vanilla and secret ingredient if you know it. Beat until light and fluffy. Mix in salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and flour. Stir well. Add oatmeal, raisins and candy. Snitch some dough before you bake them.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet (greased). You can roll them in sugar if you want, or put M&M’s on top.
Bake for 12 to 15
minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Momma usually puts them in the oven; it could burn you if you get too close. Watch that they don’t get too brown.
Let Momma take them out. (Audrey says, “or Daddy”)Cool on wire rack and then eat them ! 🙂 Freeze some or share them.
Andrea said, “we share some and let someone help us eat them.”
Let Daddy snitch some cookies when they are done and still warm. Don’t let Momma, because she will eat too many, especially with the chocolate chips and M&M’s.
Make sure when you are all done You clean it all up! Or your Momma may not let you bake again.
Uncle Joe
Uncle Joe lives near Indianapolis. So I rarely get to see him, because it’s a couple of hours away. Sometimes it feels like it is twelve!
He is Mom’s older brother. He brought my Great Grandma Bea home for the summer. So Grandma Nana and Uncle Joe came over to see us.
He works in a church. It seems like he doesn’t get much time with us. He’s going to tease that we don’t come visit either.
Once he rode in a police car and taken to the police department. He has a friend in the police department and he went with him. I am not sure if I want to ride in a police car unless I was a police officer.
He is silly. Here’s the story.
We started playing baseball. He was trying to hit my head with the ball. He always missed! The second time I usually hit the ball when he threw it. When it was his turn to bat he got the most hits out of all! Then, whenever its his turn to pitch, it ended up we had a sword fight with our bats! It was fun!
Uncle Joe likes Notre Dame and he was wearing a Packers shirt!
His favorite pop is Mountain Dew. When we were coming back from Africa, a long long time ago, Mommy and Daddy were teaching me “Pepsi, Ucky, Mountain Dew, dirty”. Hee Hee Hee! I like Pepsi more than I like Mountain Dew because I never drink it. Mommy and Daddy won’t let me.
Uncle Joe can not skip, but he can do Sign Language extremely well.
It was fun playing with him.

Hello, My name is Dino…I’m a salamander
Salamanders and frogs are amphibians. That means that they live part of their life on land, and part of their life in water.
First a female salamander (or frog) lays eggs in the aqua. When the eggs hatch, they look like tadpoles. A salamander tadpoles have their gills sticking out at the sides of their heads. As they grow, they start growing legs (frogs also start losing their tails). When they are full grown, you probably know what a frog look likes. A salamander looks a lot like a lizard but it does not have scaly skin.
Salamanders breathe and absorb things through their skin. They like to stay wet and moist, so they like to stay on land, hidden under logs. Their homes are circles about the size of a nickel or a dime. They eat bugs and worms. They do not have teeth, so they “shake up their food” and swallow it whole!
The biggest land salamander is the Jefferson salamander. I have no idea why it is named that! I did ask Miss Krista, my Nature Nuts teacher, and she said “I do not know!”. She said that a salamander loses its tail or toe sometimes and regenerates it. That is a long 
word that means growing it back!
A hybrid salamander example is a Blue Spotted Salamander Momma and a Jefferson Salamander Daddy. But doesn’t have to be that way; it could be a Blue Spotted and a Tiger Salamander. They both have to be salamanders though!
I held Dino, a salamander in prison! The Naturalist probably obably obably study him (or her) and I know that they bring him (or her) for children to look a
t. Miss Krista thinks that Dino is a girl. Miss Krista told us how to identify if it is a male or a female, but who cares? (Well, a scientist might).
Miss Krista showed us a trap for salamanders. That helps scientists study them when they catch one. They use a trap with liver (I said to use liverwurst so it doesn’t go to waste, it is disgusting!). Salamanders love liver! This time they put bologna in it. They did not like it as much as liverwurst 🙂
After touching an amphibian WASH YOUR HANDS (because Momma says you have to!)
Thank you Miss Krista for teaching me all you know about salamanders.
