World Party day

Yesterday was World Party day. I wasn't able to post about it then so I am now!My dad teaches Karate to a couple kids in a room above the library that they let us use. At the end of karate Mom and I went over there with lemon brownie cup cakes. So we had a tiny, short party! It was fun!

Every body REALLY liked the cup cakes so I thought I'd tell you how I did them.

I make flavored brownies a lot and it's really easy. Just use your regular brownie recipe and instead of using the called for amount of vanilla extract use the amount given but doubled of what ever flavoring extract you'd like. If your recipe doesn't call for vanilla than you can just add a couple teaspoons of extract t0 the batter - estimate.

I just dumped the badder into mini cup muffin tins instead of a nine by thirteen.

Happy World Party day!

Pony Express day

So I was all excited about this one. Pony Express day fascinates me. I told mom once that when I get older I wanted to work for the post office and deliver the mail on horse back!

Well any way, my idea was this: I knew I wanted to either walk or ride a horse for this one, and my friend, Tracy, up the street has a horse that I LOVE. She lets me bring him for walks any time. So I decided I would walk Handy Man to the post office to get our mail!....handy had other Ideas! He decided he wasn't going to let me get the halter on him. He does this fairly often (We're still working on it!) and usually I don't let him get away with it but I haven't been feeling too good and he quickly wore me out. So instead of walking Handy I just had mom take my picture with Levi - one of Tracy's other horses. Below is me and Levi and above is Handy being a jerk.

All the Pony Express riders were given red shirts, SO I wore the reddest one I own....Though you can see I still have my silly Tweed dress on!

Tweed day

We went to the Salvation Army a couple days ago to buy some thing tweed! The only thing we found that wasn't a suit was this dress. I think it's quite a hideous dress, and still I've been wearing it all day. Happy Tweed day
