My Grammy

My Grammy has a cat named Eeyore that is gray and white. We gave him to Grammy for Mother's Day when I was 1 and a half. I really liked playing with him. We gave her another orange cat, but he ran away and they could never find him.

I love watching cartoons at Grammy's house when I come to visit. Sometimes we get to have a little slumber party in the living room. I like to use her fancy punch outs and scissors to make cool crafts at her house.

My Grammy takes lots of pictures when I'm around. Once we went to Build-A-Bear and I got to make a white cat with a pink skirt and a white tank top with a pink crown on it and she had pink flip flops. I was so surprised when we first got there, and I couldn't pick out which one I wanted.

I am Grammy's first Grandchild. She and my mom are very good friends and talk on the phone a lot. Sometimes I talk to Grammy on the phone, too.

I like to play with her chalk outside and the swingset with the swinging rocking horse and a plain swing, baby swing and little slide. The basketball hoop is fun, too.

I really like to go riding on the 4 wheeler with Grandpa.

Tonight I'm going to Grammy's to meet some new friends. I hope we can play our new Apples to Apples game.

Caroline's Cooking

On Wednesday, I made this recipe called Tuna Risotto. It means "tuna with rice". The picture here is of me squeezing the garlic out in the pan. I squished it really hard and my mom had trouble getting out the pieces.

Next I had to stir it for a really, really long time. My arms started to hurt so mom and me took turns. When the chicken broth dried out, we had to put more chicken broth in and stir, stir, stir, stir, stir! Because it makes the rice creamy and soft. My mom makes risotto sometimes, but she says it's hard to make because it takes a lot of patience.


After all the stirring, we put in spinach, 2 cans of tuna that we drained out, and a bunch of parmesan cheese. We had peas and fresh apricots to go with this. Everybody really liked it and so did I. We decided that we wanted to make it more since everybody really liked it.

Mom and I found this recipe on the internet. It is cool that you can look for foods to make online. If you want to try our recipe on your family, here is the link:

Mrs.Day from second grade

I think that Mrs. Day is the best teacher in the whole world because she is gentle, kind, and very sweet.

One thing that I really liked doing with Mrs. Day and another second grade class was making paper out of old scraps that we already used that everybody ripped up. We soaked them in water for the whole day and the next day everybody got to put it on a screen like a screen door. We put it on a towel and let it dry. A couple weeks later we got to take them home.

Mrs. Day has 2 kids, and she told us funny stories about her family. One story she told was that her sons told her they were going to go out and play baseball with their dad. Then they shouted out, "come here, come here quick!" and she came outside and one of her sons had fake blood all over like one of them hit each other with the bat. She thought that he lost a tooth or got hurt really bad somewhere else. Then they started laughing and laughing and then they told her the joke for April Fool's Day.

Another joke she told us was that every night one of her sons went out and scared the other son and he freaked out. Mrs. Day heard him screaming upstairs and I think she just ignored it.

An important thing Mrs. Day taught me was about being respectful. Because then we would ruin things for the whole class just because we did something that wasn't respectful. She taught us times and a little bit of division.

Mrs. Day told me I was good at listening and being respectful. I saw on my high five sheet that she awarded me for good journals and writing stories.

(Mrs. Day, I hope you are having a good rest of the summer.) Love, Caroline

Sometime I will put some stories on my blog for everybody to read.

Who was your favorite teacher? Please leave me a comment to read about it.

Very New Cartoon Drawings

These are some silly cartoons that I made up at school in art class. We were only supposed to draw one little cartoon, but I just drew three. The paper looks old, but I just drew them at the end of the school year.

My art teacher told me that we should draw them in cartoon style, but I don't have any stories to go with them yet. I tried to pick rhyming names because I thought they would be funny for cartoons.

If you like my pictures, please give me a comment. Which one is your favorite? I can't pick, because I like all animals so much!
