APPLE PIE PIZZA

My kindergarten class had a baking session at the Pine Diner (a kitchen at my school).

We made apple pie pizzas and got to try them after. I liked the baking, but didn’t care for the taste. I didn’t say that out loud because some kids liked them and that would be yucking someone’s yum.

These were the instructions we were given before baking. We guessed what would be the easiest part and what would be the hardest. I guessed flattening the dough would be the hardest, but it was actually the easiest!

MINECRAFTING AND SWINGING

I went to Oliver and Annabel’s house to play. Oliver showed me some cool new commands in Minecraft.

Then we went to their garage/playroom and I did a lot of swinging while Annabel showed us her stuffed animals.

EXAM TABLE ART

I went to see my gastroenterologist and was a liiiiitle high energy. So the nurse told me to draw on this exam table. I drew a rollercoaster! (Of course.)

THE BIG PLAYGROUND

For the first two weeks of school, the kindergarten classes had recess in the preschool playground.

Tomorrow, we start playing in the big playground. So I asked Mommy if we could have a practice session today. I love the big playground!

OAKS: THE FINAL CHAPTER

Today was my last day at Oaks Amusement Park before they close for the fall and winter.

Goodbye, Scrambler.

Goodbye, Up Up & Away.

Goodbye, Chipper’s Choppers.

Then it started to rain and it was time to run.

Gee, I can’t possibly see why they close all fall and winter…

See ya next spring, Oaks!

OUT FOR A DRIVE

I finished my first week of kindergarten and I was so tired!

Mommy and Daddy thought I’d want to be lazy all weekend, but I still wanted to go for a drive. We drove to a bunch of places and had a snack in the car.

Now it’s time to be lazy for the rest of the weekend!

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

Today was my first day of kindergarten!

I was a little bit nervous, but I had studied my school map, learned my class schedule, rehearsed my morning routine, and practiced opening and closing my lunchbox. By this morning, I was ready and excited!

We start every day in the school gym for “Morning Meeting.” (The lady next to me in the pink sweater is my teacher, Mrs. Flagg.)

After our meeting, Mrs. Flagg walked us to our classroom.

This is when we took our lunch boxes out of our bags, right before Mommy and Daddy said goodbye.

And this is me, super tired and carrying a really heavy backpack, when Mommy picked me up. But I had a great time! Kindergarten is way more fun than preschool!

LEGO ROAD TRIP

I created a new game and I LOVE IT. It’s called “LEGO Road Trip.”

First, I drop a bunch of pins on Google Maps and have Mommy write down the addresses. Then I pick a bunch of LEGOs for each stop and put them in their own baggie. Finally, we drive to each location, park on the side of the road, and I build a LEGO roller coaster car!

I even picked out a place to have lunch (El Indio in Portland) and built a roller coaster car there, too. We’re definitely doing this again!

MUSIC IN THE PARK 2019: GIRL CAN’T HELP IT

It was my last Music in the Park for 2019. While next Thursday’s summer finale is happening, I’ll be sleeping soundly in my bed to be ready for school the next morning.

So I made it a good one! First, I love walking to the park from our house.
