Disney store fun and so you think you can dance

I have noticed when I am looking through my blog post or editing them, I am noticing that the font is off and I don't know how to fix that. And the colour is hard to get. It's confusing, but I am just going to have to get used to it. It doesn't look very nice though when things at out of order.
Monday August 24th

Today my dad and sisters were leaving on there canoe trip today so they woke me up early. But then I went to bed and then woke up at 10:00. I went downstairs to have some toast with Nutella on it, after I ate toast I went into the garage to play with Juno. Me and Juno were playing with the ping-pong ball for a while and then I went inside. For lunch I had grilled cheese, and for dessert I had a cookie. For supper we had chilli and noodles with carrots. 

I don't know if I should be saying this because I don't have my beginners yet but my mum took me for a little driving lesson down the road. 

After that I came in to watch so you think you can dance, and switched at birth. Then I went to bed. Good night.

Tuesday August 25th

Today was a rather early start to the day because my mum had a conference today so me and my friend went shopping and to go she a movie. I got up at 7:00 because I wanted to have time to have breakfast and brush my teeth. For breakfast I had porridge with crasins in it. I made a little more porridge than I thought, but I ate it all and then went to go brush my teeth. We got in the car and drove off to pick up my friend kristie, and then we drive to polo park mall. My mum dropped us of. As it was early none of the stores where open, so we sat in the food court until they were open. The only stores we went to were lush,the Disney store bath & body works, and Rocky Mountain. I was hoping to get a little more at lush than what I got. I got a bubbleroon which is like a bubble bar shaped like a macaroon, a bath bomb and 3 face and body products. I was also hoping to get a shampoo and conditioner bar and some more bath stuff but whatever. Me and my friend love Disney, so we went in the Disney store to look around. I wish I could buy most of the stuffed animals in the Disney store. After me and kristie were done looking around, we went to the colouring table, which also had a big screen in front of it playing Disney clips, trailers and Disney sing-alongs. Naturally we had to stay and colour and sing-along.

I also went into bath & body works and got a stress relief tea hand lotion and a lavender and camomile sleep hand lotion. I also got a coconut and pink lemonade hand lotion. When there is a sale on hand lotions, I take advantage of that. After that we went to go to the movie theatre to go inside out. Inside out is a really good movie. I would recommend this movie to kids and adults. But I have to warn you about this one really long preview. It's called lava. You could create a new tab and look it up or I could tell you about it. It's pretty much these two singing lavas who have a dream to be together, and it's really long and after a while it gets annoying. After the movie was over we headed back to the mall and went to Rocky Mountain and bought some candy. Then we went home and dropped kristie off and went home and then we ate some supper. For supper we had noodles and the chilli that my dad made for the canoe trip, but he didn't take all of it so we had some. And cookies for dessert. We watched some tv and then went to bed.  Good night.

Wednesday August 26th

Today i woke by my mum coming into my room asking me if I wanted to go into Winnipeg with her to get the oil changed on the car. I passed on that one. But after she was done she came home and she told me she was going to the barn after the oil change, and then said that she could text my auntie to see if my cousin was busy. When my mum was at the barn. I was at my cousins house. We made m&m cookies and played go fish. A while after that my cousins had a hair cut appointment, and so we went and then after that we went to get some supper from subway and then went to the barn. When we got home my dad and sisters had got back from there canoe trip, so we were looking at some pictures that they took, and then I went to bed.   Good night.

Thursday August 27th

Today I woke up pretty late, at 9:40. I went downstairs and I had. Breakfast, and then played ping-pong with Emily. When we played ping-pong Juno came into the garage and every time the ball would land on the floor, or bounce on the floor. Juno would run after it and play with it. If only she could pick it up and bring it to us too. I also reluctantly cleaned up my room because it was super messy. And now my room is clean. Me and Emily were on our own for supper. We both really wanted pizza so we thought we would order from the ranch in oakbank. Emily thought you would need a credit card to call and order, but I told her you didn't because my friends would order from the ranch often. She didn't do it, so we made Kraft dinner instead and watched some tv, and then we watched catching fire. I didn't watch much of it, because we started late and I was tired so I went to bed.  Good night.

Cottage trip and baking cookies

Monday August 17th 

Today I woke up at 7:00 because I Hadn't packed the day before to go to the cottage, so I packed this morning. I had puffed wheat with craisins for breakfast and then we left for the cottage. I read city of bones in the way to the cottage. We stopped for gas and snacks at the yogi bear gas station, and when we got to 

Kenora we went to Safeway to buy some groceries. We finally got to the cottage, unloaded our stuff and then we went swimming and after swimming we sat on the dock and then eventually at some supper. For supper my sisters my mom and I had pork tender loin, potato salad, and carrots and cucumbers and cookies for dessert. Supper ended and then Emily, Natalie, my cousins Dylan and jordan went for a canoe ride and I sat on the dock. Now I am sitting on the couch while the others watch tv. After watching tv we all decided to play spoons, and we taught the aunties the cup song. And then we went to bed.

Tuesday August 18th

I need a new intro, you can see a pattern on my writing. I can't think of any other way to put it. I am not very good at writing but oh well. Today I woke up and had Cheerios for breakfast and read my book a bit. Me Emily and my cousin jordan went for a short canoe ride, there was only two paddles so I just sat there. The day started off really cold and then on the lake it started to get a little warmer, and then when we were all sitting on the dock the weather couldn't make up its mind whether it wanted to be sunny or windy. We sat out there for s long time. Eating lunch, snacking on chips and trail mix, reading and chatting. Finally it just got too windy and we decided to go inside. By the time we got inside it was supper time, and we thought we would go out for supper. We went out to this place that was a fire hall converted into a restaurant. For supper I had macaroni and cheese with bacon, tomatoes and kale. It was good but there was so much that I couldn't finish it. We walked back to our car and drove back to the cottage. When we were back we decided to watch silver linings playbook, but we forgot how much swearing there is in there so we switched it to the proposal. The proposal was finished and then I went to bed, after I went to bed the others watched despicable me.

Good night.

Wednesday August 19th

Today i woke up and had Cheerios and a cinnamon bun for breakfast. The cinnamon bun wasn't that great. I was also reading city of bones, I have a chapter and a half left! There was a ping-pong table in the loft so we went to play donkey. The first round we played donkey I feel because there was a lot of running and I was wearing my Birkenstock. I don't really like ping-pong or donkey because my eyes are so bad and the ball is so small. I didn't play for two rounds, and then they wanted me to play so I played two more rounds. Lunch time came and we made hot dogs and then played Dutch blitz. I'm not very good at Dutch blitz so it was rare for me to win to times in a row. Now we are watching up while my mom is cleaning up our stuff because we are leaving today.

Thursday August 20th

It feels so good to sleep In my own bed again. I woke up today at 8:55 and hungry, so I went downstairs and made some porridge with crasins and tea. I didn't do much today besides play with Juno and have a shower. Today was a relaxing day. You know, I have a lot of those days because I just don't know what to do.

For lunch I made a Pizza sub, and for supper we had rollkuchen and watermelon. After supper I made popcorn and watched some YouTube videos. Now it is bed time. I feel like I am wasting the very few days I have left of summer. Tommorow I am going to my friends house for a Bon fire. Good night.

Friday August 21st

Today I woke up late. So when i went downstairs I had a little breakfast of toast and a fruit snack. Today I didn't do much, just played with Juno and cleaned up my room. In the evening I went to my friends for a Bon fire and 5:30. My other friend Amanda picked me up at 4:30. When we got there we were the first people there, so we helped get all the food ready and stuff the Cookie Monster piñata with candy. When we were finished that someone else arrived, and then we stood by the food and were snacking. We decided to go outside and check the temperature to see if we wanted to go swimming or not. We went and got out bathing suits on, and as we were going outside someone else came and so we all went swimming. I got use to the water a little bit, but then after a while I had to get out because I was cold. Once I got out everyone else started to get out. We got out and then my friends mom brought out the bubble wands so we played with those for a long time. For supper there was hot dogs and hamburgers, and lots of other stuff like chips, cheese, vegetables, fruit, and candy. And we went in the living room to watch my little pony. And then we had cake which was a big monster cookie with whip cream and chocolate sauce. After we finished that we went outside for the piñata and to sit around the fire. Then I got picked up and went home, and then to bed.  Good night.

Saturday August 22nd 

Today I woke up and as summer is sadly slimming so i have to take advantage of this and do next to nothing. All I did today was make cookies. I didn't do much today so that was my day. Good night.

Sunday August 23rd

Today we are going to church so I woke up early and it was cold so I decided to dress warm. I went downstairs and made tea and then we got in the car and drove to church. We made it to church as it was starting. Oops! After church we got lunch at Montanas. I got baked chicken penne. After lunch we went to Canadian tire to buy a life jacket and then to superstore to buy some food for the canoe trip that my dad, both my sisters and our cousin is going on tomorrow till Wednesday. When we got home we unloaded the groceries and then Hannah came over for night, so they can large early for there canoe trip. For supper my mum made pizza buns, and then we watched Sherlock. My mum dad and Emily are watching Sherlock right now and Natalie watched it before so I didn't  really know what was happening in the begging, but it sort of making sense now but I am still lost. I will just finish Sherlock and then probably go to bed and maybe catch up on YouTube videos. Until then good night.  If you enjoyed reading this post you could tell me by leaving me a comment or following/subscribing to my blog. Byee

my second week volunteering at camp moose lake in the kitchen

Monday August 10th

I did it, I made it through the night in the mini lodge! Today I woke up and for breakfast we made pancakes with fruit and cereal. After we finished breakfast we washed dishes, and started to make lunch. For lunch we had grilled cheese sandwiches and borchet and tomato soup. After lunch we had almost a 2 hour break, and I read city of bones outside. For the kitchen It's a cycle. make food, serve food, wash dishes, put away dishes, make/prep food, serve food, wash dishes, put away dishes make food, clean up. So after supper we had harvest chilli with cauldron fries, and I was helping Kendra make the fries in the cauldron. For snack was ice cream sundaes, I wasn't on snack duty so I was off for the night.  

Tuesday August 11th 

Today I woke up feeling tired, I Did not wake up. But I did and went to make breakfast. Breakfast was outside by the water, we had cauldron egg breakfast burrito, went inside and cleaned up and then started packing stuff for camp out. That is stressful! After that we made lunch. We were suppose to have lunch outside by the water, but we decided not to because we just had breakfast outside, and we didn't want to take the stuff down for breakfast, bring it up and then clean it, and then bring it back down again. Plus they needed the out door cups and plates for camp out, and we just thought it would be to much, so we ate chicken burgers inside with the option of bean and lentil burgers with veggies. The kids and some of the staff are going on camp out tonight, so we just get out left overs for the staff.  Some one in the kitchen was going to be leaving tomorrow, so I thought I could just take her bed. But someone else in the kitchen had to leave today, so I moved into owls roost a day earlier. Hopefully I can get a better sleep tonight.  

  In the kitchen there is this older lady, probably about around 80 years old and she is just hilarious. She probably as funny as my Oma. Today after supper the kitchen staff just talked and laughed, and we had a great time. It was a very relaxed evening. After supper I got to play with Oliver! We went to play in the sand box, and then I took Him for a ride in his wagon. I am exited for breakfast tomorrow morning, in the cereal cabinet I saw alpha bits! I came inside wrote and then I went to the lodge to play cards with the kitchen staff, and a few other staff. Good night.

Wednesday August 12th

Tonight I slept great although I went to bed really late. In the morning I woke up at 9:00 because the campers weren't around and we didn't need to get anything ready. Today for breakfast I had alpha bits and toast with raspberry jam. For lunch we had hot dogs. We were suppose to have hot dogs outside by the water front, but then the sky didn't look good, and then it started to rain so we had lunch inside. For dessert we had cookies, and then instead of cookies for snack they had water and watermelon. Before lunch we had the pizzas made and all we had to do for supper was to put them in the oven and dress the Fraser salad, so we took a break. After our break we came in and started baking the pizzas for supper. Some people in the kitchen started making the bread for sub buns. Before snack we had all the sub buns made. For snack was cauldron popcorn, bananas and watermelon.

Now that another person in the kitchen left we are down to 4 cooks and 1 head cook, and we started with 6 and 1 head cook, and I get my own room. 

   Today was a really hard day, because my feet were hurting again, the back of my knee was hurting, and I was tired. The only thing keeping me going for these two more days is a bath with my butterball bath bomb and watching once upon a time when I get home! Ohh so good. Anyways.

  Good night.

Thursday August 13th 

Today I woke up not wanting to get out of bed, but I did kind of late though. For breakfast we had baked oatmeal, left over French toast, left over pancakes, fruit salad and cereal. For lunch we had sub sandwiches outside, and it was really hot. After lunch we took a staff picture by the toboggan slide and then after the picture the kitchen staff got to eat. After that we took a little break and then snack which was puffed wheat cake and then we started on supper which was the theme meal of fairytale. The meal was rice, sweet and sour meatballs, peas and Italian bread and then we had doughnuts for snack, but this time we actually got to fry them in the cauldron instead of baking them. After snack I was exhausted so I went to bed and got no sleep.

Friday August 14th 

 I woke up super tired, and annoyed that I didn't get sleep, but I woke up and made breakfast. Today we had breakfast sandwiches with blueberry muffins and raspberry and vanilla yogurt. For lunch we were suppose to have taco salad, but I don't know why we didn't but we had casadia's and ceased salad instead which was also fine.we also had s'mores for dessert, after dessert the bus came. The bus was early it was suppose to come at 2:00 but it came more at 1:00. After lunch the campers did there last minute clean up and then the closing program. My sister is suppose to be picking me up at 3:00, but I have a feeling she might be a little late. She was not late. When Natalie got there, we loaded my stuff. Natalie wanted to have a break from sitting so she walked to the lake and back, and then we left. When we got to stienbach we went to Dairy Queen to get some ice cream. I got a peanut butter cup blizzard and Natalie got an Oreo blizzard.

Today is the last day of camp! I finally made it. I have mixed feelings about leaving. there is a part of me that wants to stay and keep working in the kitchen, but there is also a part of me that just wants to go home take a bath and watch once upon a time. Camp has been really fun, and the people have been great. There is two people in the kitchen from my first week that I have got close to. And they were close to my age so that really helped. I think I might miss them a bit. The head cook from last week was also really nice. I found myself saying some times. Where's Andrea when you need her! This week the kitchen staff was great to! We had some more people in the kitchen then last week, because we had more campers than last week. The kitchen this week was full of a lot of laughter. There was this one older lady in the kitchen that was just so funny and sassy. 

Saturday August 15th

Today Is my first full day at home. Today was my relaxing day. Today I woke up and went downstairs and had some puffed wheat for breakfast, and then went to go watch once upon a time and then I went to go have a bath and watch more once upon a time. Then I watched so you think you can dance again with Emily after she got home and talked about our weeks at camp together.

Sunday August 16th

Today I woke up at 7:00 because me and Emily and mom where going to Carmen, to go to a church service that some of the camp staff were invited to sing and for a lunch afterwards. On our way home we stopped at Costco to pick up some things because we are going to my aunt and uncles cottage tomorrow. When we got home I was hungry so I ate a cookie because I only had a little sandwich and some veggies for lunch. I ate my cookie and watched once upon a time, I have finished season 4 of once upon a time, now I am waiting until season 5 starts! My sister and my mom had a nap so I wrote. We had supper, for supper we bought chicken Alfredo with pasta from Costco and then did some laundry and started to pack for the cottage. I am going to end it here because I am just going to pack and then go to bed. Not that interesting.

I hope you had a good week, and enjoyed this weeks post! If you want to you could leave and nice comment or maybe follow me if you want. It makes me happy just to see that people are reading my blog! 

My first week volunteering in the kitchen at camp moose lake

Monday August 3rd

Today was my first day at camp moose lake as kitchen help! We left the house a little late so we got to camp more toward the end of the staff meeting, because it started at three. When I got there I was nervous. I sat down on a couch and the camp leader asked me what my name is, what my role was, and what character would I be. I said hello my name is Madeline and I am kitchen help, and I would have to be Winnie the Pooh. After that I looked around the room to see if there was anybody I sort of new, i saw Natasha, and then I'm like ok. After the meeting the kitchen staff went over the meal plan with Kendra and a little tour of the kitchen. Monday's supper was just for the staff, we had Greek pita wraps with salad. I was serving the salad. I wasn't the favourite this meal.  Next after we cleaned up me and my fellow kitchen help made cinnamon buns. After we put the cinnamon buns, we went to a circle prayer with all the staff, she said you could say how your feeling, or say a prayer of what you hope the week brings us. When it came to my turn I said I was nervous.

Today was very stressful. I was staying in chickadee, I never stayed in chickadee before!

Tuesday August 4th 

Today is our first full day at camp moose lake. This morning I woke up at 7:10 to be in the kitchen in 5:00 minutes, 7:15, we made it in time. For breakfast we were having oatmeal which didn't envolve much prep work, so we started prepping for lunch. For lunch was homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese. When I was cutting some celery up I suddenly didn't feel so good so i went to the nurses office and took a 2 hour nap and ate some crackers because I haven't eaten anything. I felt a little better after my nap so I went back into the kitchen and ate a grilled cheese. after we finished our lunch we cleaned up and then we took a break.  For supper we had chilly, salad and courldren fries outside by the water. I was serving the fires for this meal, so I was defiantly the favourite.  There was of course a afternoon snack of brownies! Since supper was outside we had to take all the utensils, and food and plates and cups out to the gader so we could take it buy the water. Obviously upper was a hit! Who could go wrong with fries, chilly and SALAD? After supper the campers had there hang ten jobs, we cleaned everything up and took back to the kitchen, and some off the staff helped do the dishes.

I was on snack supervision tonight. It went well I just made sure they new where everything was.

Wednesday August 5th

Today we woke up at 7:15 instead of being in the kitchen at 7:15. It wasn't a huge deal we weren't that late. For supper we had breakfast burritos and cauldron eggs with sausage, by the water front. After that we cleaned up breakfast and then started prepping for lunch. For lunch we had chicken burgers with the option of bean and lentil burgers fr the vegetarians and of course carrots and celery. For lunch I got put on veggies, so I wasn't the favourite for lunch. Today Rihanna came for lunch today. We got a break after lunch so I took a nap because I didn't get much sleep last night. After that it was prepping for camp out meal and stuff they needed to take along for cooking the meal. As the campers went on camp out, there was the kitchen staff and a few other staff left behind so we took out all the left overs including dirt cake, banana sheet cake, and brownies and let people take what they wanted. Then we cleaned up the kitchen and we were done for the rest of the night. I went in my cabin and read, then we went for a barge ride.

Thursday August 6th

Today we got to sleep in until eight because the campers weren't back from the camp out yet. For breakfast we had set out cereal and toast and fruit. After that we cleaned up and prepared lunch. It was hot dogs out in the picnic shelter.  For supper we had pizza it was not good weather outside so they decided to have fire side inside the lodge. I really love the vibe of fire side. For the first part, listening to the guitar play, and then singing.

Friday August 7th 

Today we woke up at 7:15 again, I didn't really get a good sleep so I wanted to stay in bed longer. For breakfast we had French toast, bacon, fruit and eggs for the vegetarian people. During breakfast and before breakfast some one in the kitchen started making bread. That bread was for lunch, we made subs with veggies of course. We had lunch by the mini lodge which was a perfect day to have lunch outside, because it was so nice. After lunch we cleaned up, and then went for break. I wrote, took a nap and organized my suit case. Tonight is theme meal! I am so exited for theme meal, tonight we are having chicken finger and potato wedges, and the theme is a fairytale. The meal was good although a little late, and I wish the skits were longer. For snack we had homemade doughnuts. We were suppose to be frying the doughnuts in the couldren, but it was raining so we baked the. Instead. We made the types of home made bread today! After that we cleaned up and then there was nothing for me to do, so I was done for the night. On my way back to the cabins it was spitting a bit and then when I got to the cabin it was chucking down rain, and it's thundering and lightning. Not very good weather. I don't really like thunderstorms, especially at camp. Good night!

Saturday August 8th

Today I woke up and got in the kitchen for 7:15. For breakfast we made English muffins with banana chocolate chip muffins and rhubarb cinnamon muffins with fruit salad. For lunch we had taco salad outside and jello for dessert. Since this was the last day we had to clean the kitchen. That took forever, we cleaned the oven, that took a long time but it was clean. I do t think all that dirt from the oven was us. After we finished cleaning the kitchen, I went to my cabin to clean up all my stuff. I took it outside and then waited for my mum to come. My mum and dad were staying at the moose lake camp ground, so that is where I am staying tonight. Maybe I will get a good night sleep. For supper we had potatoes and ribs. After we had supper and a shower, we went for a short canoe ride. When we came back we started a fire and roasted marshmallows and put them between to oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Cease we didn't have gram crackers, and then I went to bed. Good night. 

Sunday August 9th 

Today I woke up at 9:33 and got up and sat outside while my parents made breakfast. We had English muffins, except with bagels Instead of English muffins. I read as they cleaned up breakfast, and then me and my dad played bocce ball in the camp ground. He won then we made lunch because even though we just had breakfast we wanted to make lunch before we cleaned and packed everything up. My dad drove me back to camp. We sat through the staff meeting and then we had to get in the kitchen, this week there are more people in the kitchen because there are a lot more campers than last week. This week it junior high and there is 52 people this week. For supper it was just the staff, so we made pulled pork sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches for the vegetarians, potato wedges and coleslaw. And of course cinnamon buns for snack. For some reason these cinnamon buns tasted a lot better than last weeks, the dough just tasted a lot fluffier. Then  I chopped tomatoes for garden salad and I was done so I went to the mini lodge to set up my bed and go to sleep. Good night.
