Brainteaser of the Week

Bob needs to take his pets to the vet. His car can hold him and one of his pets. His pets are a bird, a snake, and a cat. You can not leave the snake alone with the bird or the cat alone with the bird in anyplace. How many trips does Bob need to take to get all of his pets to the vet? Each way counts as 1 trip. Answer will be posted next week or you can post your answer using "comments" and I will let you know if it's correct.

CC’s Artwork for Sale!

When I went to a music and arts festival a few weeks ago, I saw some kids selling their artwork. I am outgrowing my old bike and will need a new bike soon, so I thought maybe I could sell my artwork to save up! 
Yesterday, Auntie Janneth and Uncle Young came over and I told them about my idea. They went through all my artwork piece by piece and placed an order for two of my drawings: the haunted house, and the cherry blossom. Thank you Auntie Janneth and Uncle Young! Now you can’t go back on your word because I already told the whole universe about it! Most of my drawings are very affordable at a price of  only $10-$20 (there are a few pieces that are $25). Please email me or post a comment if you are interested in helping me get a new bike.

M&M 2-Mile Run

This morning was the M&M 2-Mile Run. Every year, our school has this race to raise money to support the homeless shelter. My family and I do this race every year. I got first place in the 3rd Grade girls category! My time was 15:18. Mommy finished it in 16:21, followed by Daddy who finished in 6 hours and 27 min.
It was a fun race because a lot of my school friends were there. Even Mr. Casey showed up and I got to meet his new baby Caden. He is soooooo cute!!!!

Staff Appreciation Day

Today is Staff Appreciation Day at my school. Staff Appreciation Day is when parents bring in food and desserts for the staff and they have a big party in the gym at noon. My mom made a cake. I helped her design it and she traced it onto the cake. She also had extra cake mix, so she made another smaller cake and let me decorate it all by myself! It's going to be our Mother's Day cake. Check it out!

Wonderful Weekend

     I had a great weekend! On Saturday, I did the 1-Mile Twilight run. My Nana and Uncle Rick came all the way from Wellsville, NY to see me run! I got second place for the elementary school girls with a time of 6:43! The girl that beat me this year was actually the same girl that beat me last year. I think this is her last year doing it because she is already in 5th grade. 
     Every year as part of the 1-Mile Elementary School Challenge, they give out a huge trophy for the school with the best time. My school has had it for 2 years in a row and this year we won it again!  Hurray for CP!

On Sunday morning, I did a mini triathlon in Harleysville, PA. It was 3 laps swim, 1 mile bike and a 1/2 mile run. Once again, Nana and Uncle Rick got to see me compete. Uncle Vin & "Auntie" Katie, George & Travis also came. I got 3rd place for the 9-10 year old girls and got a really cool bronze medal! This is probably my favorite medal because it is so cool looking.

After that, I had to go to pre-season summer swim practice. Then, we went to Llanerch Diner for dinner. The food was delicious, but I ate too much because the Kid's Meal was quite a lot of food and I got a stomach ache. This was the best weekend ever!

Thank you Nana and Uncle Rick, Uncle Vin & "Auntie" Katie, George & Travis for coming to cheer me on and see me compete, and thank you Mommy and Daddy for supporting me in all these races!
