Update on my life

Hi guys. I had the flu the past week. That's why I couldn't post for a long time. Also, our team won the football game!!! I'm still a little sick though. Cecilia has been taking care of me the past few days or something. I didn't have to go to school, and I missed my math test which was on Tuesday. So, I have to drink disgusting medicine. Chloe is super happy right now because mommy got her a pack of five Barbie dolls. Anyways, were having a bunch of rain these days. You can imagine what Chloe is like these days because of her love of rain. If you saw my last post, she heard that we are going to have snow the next few weeks, and she went CRAZY! Right now I can hear her begging mom to go play in the snow. Also, if you're wondering why I just called Mrs. Willows mom, it's because she told me to call her mom instead of Mrs. Willows. And dad told me to call him dad, not Mr. Willows. Anyway, bye.

Crazy Day

Hey guys! Tomorrow is the big game! Cecilia was going crazy this morning because she had lost her hairbrush. At first Cecilia didn't want to go to my football game, but then she thought that she could show off her style and make everyone jealous, then she decided to go to my game! So right now, she is practicing her look for tomorrow. At lunch, Chloe threw a huge tantrum. We all had salad, but Chloe said that she wanted spaghetti for lunch instead. We all sat there at the dining table listening to Chloe's yelling and crying until Mrs. Willows got up from her seat and made the spaghetti for Chloe. After lunch, I was super bored. So I decided to go swimming in the fitness room's pool. The problem was that the water was super cold, so that once I jumped in, I quickly came out. Then I dried off and went to my room. I put on some cozy and warm clothes, and I turned on the TV. When I turned on the TV, the news came on. Chloe came to my room to give me some warm milk, and she said that Mrs. Willows sent it up after she heard about the freezing pool water. Then, Chloe asked if she could sit with me for a couple minutes. Then, I said yes, without knowing that I was making a big mistake. On the news, it said that we are going to have a rainy day on Thursday and Friday. Once Chloe heard that, she went totally crazy! She started screaming with joy and jumping around the house like crazy! The only part I liked about that was that tomorrow was not going to be a rainy day, because I have my football game tomorrow. I had a huge headache after Chloe's scream attack. Then, Cecilia ran around the house screaming too! She told us that she saw a spider on her bed and Chloe picked it up. The Chloe showed it to everyone by putting it right in their face. I did not have such a good day.

Cooking disaster

Hey guys! Our parents are going out for dinner because it's their anniversary, and they told Cecilia to make dinner at home while they're out. They said that they will be back late after dinner. After they left, Cecilia tricked me into cooking. She said that she will do my Mesopotamia project if I cook dinner tonight. I made a mistake and trusted her. That was probably the first time I have ever heard her talk so sweetly to me. Once I was in the kitchen, I started to get all the stuff ready. We are not healthy eaters, so, I decided to make a pie for dinner! Although Mrs. Willows specifically said to eat healthy. So then I decided to make a blueberry pie. First, I found a recipe online for how to make a blueberry pie. It said to first create the dough for it. I think I saw Mrs. Willows create pie dough before. So I mixed some flour, water, and sugar? Well, I think it was that. But the dough got too thick, so I used the electric mixer instead. Although, I didn't put the mixer all the way below the bowl, so the dough splattered all over the counter. Well since I had no way I could fix the dough, I had to use that dough. Next, I spread out the dough in the baking dish. Then, I created the filling. I remembered that Mrs. Willows adds corn starch, sugar, salt, and cinnamon to the blueberries. I added all the stuff and mixed it together. But then, I just realized that I forgot to rinse the blueberries! So the mixture was all dry.  I added the mixture to the pie dough, and then It kind of started to look a little weird. Then I had to make the "criss-crossy" crust at the top of the pie. But, the dough kept on ripping every time I tried to cross it. Then the pie looked like a blob of dry blueberries with a ripped crust. I hope it at least looks better after baking it. Now, I am going to bake it. Although, I didn't know what temperature to set the oven to, so I set it to 200 degrees. Once I took the pie out of the oven, all the blueberries oozed out! I didn't know how to get Cecilia to eat this. Then I decided to add rinsed blueberries to the top of the pie. I tried to make it look baked, even though I didn't bake the blueberries I was going to put at the top. Then, I cut out some slices of "pie" and put it on a plate for Cecilia and Chloe. When I took it up to Chloe, she squealed and snatched the plate from my hand. Then I went to Cecilia's room to give her some pie, and she got excited, but when she tasted it, she spit all of it out, and said that this dinner is not good enough to do my Mesopotamia project! She said it in a gentle voice, which didn't offend me or hurt me in anyway. I know she still likes me. Since nobody liked the pie, I threw it away. Then I saw Cecilia marching downstairs with her puppy. Cecilia came to the kitchen, and opened the fridge. At the bottom of the fridge, there was a chocolate pie with a tag that said, "after dinner, eat this for dessert. Love Mommy". Then we just cut the pie and shared it. We probably didn't hear that Mommy said she left dessert in the fridge for us. After "dinner", we all fell asleep watching a movie. I was sitting next to Cecilia while Cecilia forced Chloe to sit on the other sofa. I'm pretty sure Chloe felt bad. But if Chloe's feels bad about something, she would be completely alright a minute later. When our parents rang the doorbell, well, our parents only ring the doorbell when we are home alone, just so we know that they are back home, anyways, we all woke up and Mrs. Willows found out about the huge mess in the kitchen. We were so dead. But we didn't tell her about not having a proper dinner. We just went directly to dessert. Anyways, now I have to go work on my Mesopotamia project. UGH! Bye.

Cecilia's Birthday

It is Cecilia's birthday tomorrow. Guess what I got her? I got her a puppy! I asked Mrs. and Mr. Willows what to get for her birthday, and they said that she gets 16 gifts from each family member on her birthday, but since I'm new to the family, I don't have to. I asked if I could get her puppy because I knew that she loved puppies, so I got her one. I got her a Corgi puppy. Those are cute. I didn't name it yet because I want Cecilia to be the one to name it. She's a good sister. I will include a picture of the puppy below. Bye.

The Corgi Puppy

Sick-UGH!!!

Hey guys! It's Zak! (cough, cough) I'm sick. Because of my illness, Cecilia thought that she would get sick as well, because our rooms are right across from each others'. So she decided to move to an extra room. The worse part of it is, IT'S TUESDAY, THAT MEANS THAT MY QUARTERBACK TRYOUTS ARE TODAY!!! I asked Mrs. Willows to ask my coach to change the date for the tryouts, but my coach said he'll try his best. He also mentioned that many of the players didn't show up at class as well. Anyway, the principle made this terrible lunch rule. before leaving the lunch tables, she makes us raise our hand.  When we're done eating, we have to wait till she excuses us. She only changed the rule because too many people ran instead of walked in the hallways after leaving their tables. Anyway, it's time to eat my medicine. It's really disgusting. Bye.
