Blogmas Day 3 - Lazy Saturday

Hello, Happy Saturday.
21 days until Christmas!
Today I didn't do very much, so this is going to be kind of short.
I started my morning by watching vlogmas.  I only watched one, because our Wi-Fi is not good. I watched zoella's day 2 of vlogmas. I wish that I could have watch more because our Internet connection is so slow. there's so many vlogmas that I wanted to watch. there is a long list of my favourite youtubers doing vlogmas that I want to watch,
Zoella, Thatcherjoe, Megsays, Tanya burr, and Jackmaynard.
When I got out of bed, it was closer to lunch time, so I had lunch. for lunch I had leftover pizza. After lunch I went to clean my room. this lasted awhile, I just stopped for supper with a few things left. I went downstairs to help my dad with supper. My dad was making burgers for supper, I made a Caesar salad and sautéed mushrooms with balsamic vinegar.
  I had a shower and watched suits while I wrote before bed.
I hope you had a lovely Saturday.
Good Night.
  This post is short, but I thought I would make it a little longer and tell you about somethings that I have coming up. like, going to cut down our Christmas tree, decorating our tree, youth Christmas party,( Even though I technically not in youth any more I still go.) Christmas party with my friends, Christmas family gatherings, possible Christmas carolling, and of course Christmas.
 I Hope you enjoyed yesterday's post, and the rest of Blogmas.

Blogmas Day 2 - Thrift Store Day

Hello, Good morning.
22 days until Christmas!!!!
this morning I had an early start to the day. this morning I got up at 7:00 today to go Volunteer at the thrift store with my youth leader. When we got to the Thrift store she gave me a tour of the upstairs. Then we started working. We tagged and priced clothes, and then put them out in the racks. At first when I started, I had trouble with the tagging gun, and probably wasted a lot of the tag strings. When I started I was very slow, but as I went on I got faster. We did a few hours of this, and then we took our lunch. We ate our lunches. by the time I ate just my sandwich, she had eaten her whole lunch. I am such a slow eater! After we finished our lunch we went back down to continue doing the same thing. After a couple hours we finished for the day, and then we looked around before we left.. I found a Christmas sweater. I have never own a Christmas sweater before.
  When I came home it was supper time, and my mom was making pizza, but I had to wait. Finally the pizza was ready and I ate supper, after I was finished I wanted something for dessert, something chocolaty. I didn't find anything except for hot chocolate. I didn't really want hot chocolate because I have had a lot resonantly, but eventually I caved. Me and my dad played Crib after supper. My dad won.  The game was over and then I went upstairs to watch suits and to write, after I finished writing I watched more suits. After suits I went to bed.
I Hope you enjoyed yesterday's post, and the rest of Blogmas.

Blogmas Day 1 - The first day!

Hello, Happy first of December.
Its the first day of Blogmas!!!
This morning I woke up at 7:30 to go with my dad to take my cat Juno to the vet. after we got home I tried to finish my post on volunteering at camp this simmer. for some reason it has been taking me along time to finish. I didn't quite finish, I have one more week.  I wrote for a few hours. After that it was about 3:30 and I needed to make supper because I needed to be at dance for 5:30.
I have my dance class at 8:00, but I help my dance teacher with two little kid creative classes.
I didn't have a lot of time to make supper, so I made myself a sandwich and some snacks.
I went to dance class. I came early, and I figured out that you could download shows from Netflix, so I downloaded some suits while I waited. During the creative classes we danced with them with ribbons, after those classes I watch my friends class, and then mine. After dance I went home to make my lunch, (I haven't made my lunch since high school) and made some hot chocolate and popcorn and then went to write Blogmas and watch suits. Then I got my pyjamas on and went to bed.
Good night.
 This a pretty short post, but some days might be like this where I don't do much, but then there will be some days where I do lots of fun stuff.
 I hoped you enjoyed the first day of Blogmas, and I hope that you continue reading Blogmas!

Second week volunteering at Camp Moose Lake in the kitchen part two

Hello,
I hope you liked part one of my second week at camp.

 Wednesday August 17th
Morning,
This morning I woke up with a sore throat. The campers weren't back from camp out yet so I was aloud to sleep in a bit.  For breakfast we made bannock for everybody who stayed back, after we finished eating breakfast we got ready for lunch.  For lunch we were having pizza. This week we had Cheese, Ham and Pineapple, Deluxe, Pepperoni, and Veggie. with carrots and celery.  Of course by the end of lunch, pretty much all the pizza had gone. After lunch I cleaned up and then I had a break until about 5:00, because everything for supper was prepped.
 For supper we had rice with meatballs, peas & carrots, and buns and bannock. I like when we had rice and meatballs. After supper was finished we cleaned up, and then I had a break. During my break I went to R.E.C. We played every body's it, and sticks. Snack was after. For snack we had ice cream with chocolate and caramel sauce with water.  I was supervising snack, and the people on snack weren't there yet so I started pouring water into glasses. They had come in to do the snack. I didn't mind pouring the water, but they kick me off helping. the snack got really crazy. After snack was over, I went to the mini lodge to write in my journal up in the loft before I went to bed.

 Thursday August 18th
This morning I woke to my alarm clock, and made it to the kitchen on time. For breakfast we made French toast, bacon with fruit and cereal. Breakfast was finished and cleaned up, then I went to go listen to devotions. Devotions were over, so I went back into the kitchen to start on lunch. Lunch was outside in the picnic shelter so I got the outdoor things together.  For lunch we had Hot dogs and Hamburgers with chips and veggies.  It was a little crazy doing two lines in the picnic shelter, but we did it. after lunch we had a break until 4:45. during my break I relaxed in my room.
  Tonight was theme meal. the theme was Olympics again, but this time it was the Olympics in space
For supper we had chicken fingers and cauldron fries. After we ate supper, we got ready for snack.
For snack we had cauldron donuts!!!! Everyone was excited for donuts. Donuts are really good!
After snack I was so tired, so I went straight to the mini lodge to put the rest of the donuts in the loft.

 Friday August 19th
This morning I woke up before my alarm. Then I went back to bed because I got to sleep in a little later. I got dressed and went to the kitchen. I came in a little late. by the time I got in the kitchen they were already serving breakfast. I made some tea.  I have been having a lot of green tea, because I was sick. earlier in the week I got a cold and was loosing my voice. the head cook gave me the morning off, so I took my tea back to the mini lodge, and read on the balcony.
The campers after breakfast went to pack up there things, had lunch and then went home.
Most of the staff had left, it was me, my sister and two other camp staff.  In the evening we waited for the food truck to come. We weren't really sure when it was coming, because it was suppose to come yesterday, but it didn't. finally the truck came. after it came we went inside to have supper. For supper I had leftover Quesadilla's, meatballs, and peas and carrots. we watched cheaper by the dozen while we ate. for dessert I had hot chocolate and a leftover brownie. after the movie ended I went to bed.

 Saturday August 20th
I slept in this morning a little. for breakfast I had frosted flakes and some tea. When I came into the lodge, I saw that they were watching the 4th Harry Potter. After Harry Potter was finished we watched the parent trap. the other girl that stayed the weekend had never seen the parent trap before, and since I didn't make it through the last time we watched it, I didn't mind watching it again. The whole day was basically full of movies and relaxing. after a well needed day of relaxing I went to bed.

I hope you enjoyed reading the second half of my second week. My week is too long so I have to split it up in parts, so look for part two and  the rest of weeks.

I hope you keep reading and enjoying my blog.

Second week Volunteering at Camp Moose Lake in the kitchen 2016 part one

Hello,
I hoped you liked week one of working in the kitchen!

  Sunday August 14th
Today I woke up early, not as early as most people. some of us went to church. we were a bit early so we went for a short walk to the bridge. After church we went back to camp and I did some laundry, and got ready to work in the kitchen. Before I could get stared in the kitchen, we had a staff meeting. The meeting was over so I went into the kitchen to start on supper, and meet everyone else who was working in the kitchen. all the food was pretty much done, so I filled up the cart.  For supper we had stir-fry with rice, egg rolls, salad, and buns. Supper was finish. I cleaned supper I started making pancake mix for breakfast tomorrow. I had a break after supper, I joined in the staff prayer before the campers came.  after the prayer I went to sit on the table outside while the campers were arriving.
All the campers were here, and then we went to R.E.C and played sticks. stick was over and we had cinnamon buns, and then fireside. I went to fireside and sang some songs, and then I went to bed.

 Monday August 15th
This morning my alarm didn't go off, but I got up in time for making breakfast. breakfast was mostly done, So I got the cart ready to go out. Breakfast was pancakes, breakfast sausages, and fruit. Breakfast was finished. I went to devotions, and bible, and sang some camp songs. After the singing in bible was over, I went back in the kitchen to make sheet brownie. For lunch we were having quesadilla's and veggies, while everyone else was making quesadilla's I was making the sheet brownie, so I just had to serve lunch. We made A LOT of quesadilla's so we had seconds, thirds, and some came up for fourths. There was still a ton of leftovers.  Early that day some kitchen staff had made some dough for buns, so after lunch was cleaned up, I took a break while the dough was rising.  I came back to the kitchen and helped shaped the buns.
the last week there was two older ladies in the kitchen, and they made buns. when they made them, they were twisting them. I watched for awhile. seems like I didn't watch close enough, because when I tried to twist them, it didn't really work that great.
 By the time we finished all the buns it was supper time. for supper we had scalloped potatoes, salad and buns. all we had to do was dress the salad and then serve. After supper I got the outdoor stuff ready for cauldron popcorn. I took a break until snack, I helped serve snack, and then I was tired so I went to bed.

 Tuesday August 16th
Last night I didn't get a good sleep. usually before bed I hang out in the loft with all the staff until they go to bed, but last night I was so tired that I went straight to bed after snack.
The walls in the mini lodge are thin. the reason I try to stay up every night is so I wont be annoyed by people talking.
  For breakfast we had scrambled eggs, toast and fruit. I made the toast, this week the toast wasn't so dark. After breakfast was over, I got outdoor stuff ready for lunch in the picnic shelter. for lunch we were having subs. We got all the toppings for subs ready. we headed out to the picnic shelter to set up. It was lunch time, and the kids came into the picnic shelter. Subs were a good lunch, the kids kept coming up for more! After lunch was finished the kids went to go pack for campout, and I went back into the kitchen to clean up and start packing the food for campout. Getting the stuff for campers stew, and making bannock mix. After we were all done with campout stuff, I was done for the night. I went back to the mini lodge and read my book, and wrote in my journal in the loft until supper time.
 for supper I found some leftover tomato soup and a bun. since there was no campers, it was a really relaxed evening. After I finished eating supper I went back too the mini to have a shower, and then I went to bed.

 I hope you enjoyed reading the first half of my second week.  My week is too long so I have to split it up in parts, so look for part two and  the rest of weeks.

First week volunteering at Camp Moose Lake in the kitchen 2016 part two

Hello,
This is part two of my first week at Camp Moose Lake.

 Wednesday August. 10th
Today I woke up feeling not that great. I spent most of my day in bed reading and taking a long nap.
 In the evening I was feeling better, so I went back into the kitchen to help serve supper. For supper we had perogies, farmer sausage and peas. After we cleaned up supper, I went to fireside, after fireside I went to bed.

 Thursday August 11th
Today is the last full day of camp for the juniors.
 This morning for breakfast we had French toast with syrup, bacon and fruit. We finished up serving and eating breakfast, and then we cleaned it up. After breakfast was done, we started chopping toppings for lunch. We had a break after that.  The maintenance people made a fire by the mini lodge, Sarah and I went to join them to roast marshmallows.
 Our break was over, so we headed back into the kitchen to assemble pizzas. We had pepperoni, cheese, deluxe, perogies, and vegetarian pizza. and carrots and celery.
   If you have ever worked at Moose lake as a staff or in the kitchen, then you will know that pizza is always a favourite, and is finished with minimal or no leftover! Lunch all cleaned up and  the dishes were put away, so it was time for my break. During my break I relaxed and wrote in my journal. My break was over, so I headed back to the kitchen to make supper.
 Tonight was theme meal. the theme was Olympics, since the Olympics were going on. it seemed like a good theme to have. We came up with the idea that we would come up with names for the food. We thought of Synchronized spaghetti with 400 "meat"-er race (sauce), "ski"-sar salad, and gold medal garlic bread. Everybody thought the names were great. For dessert we had jello shaped into rings, as the Olympic rings.
Night snack was ice cream with chocolate cookies, with chocolate and caramel sauce. the kitchen was all cleaned up, and I went to fireside and then to the mini to sit upstairs and hang out. it was getting late so I went to bed.

  Friday August 12th
Friday is the last day of junior week.
 For breakfast we had waffles with syrup, fruit, yogurt and cereal. breakfast was done, and cleaned up. we started on lunch after breakfast. Lunch was all ready to go, I just had to take it outside to the picnic tables by the mini lodge. For lunch we had chicken burgers, veggies, chips, and vegetarian chili. Lunch was served and ate. we loaded up the gator to take everything back to the kitchen, and cleaned up lunch.
 After we cleaned up lunch, we did the end of the week kitchen clean. We finished cleaning just in time for the end of the week program. the program was over, and all the campers were gone. we had a staff meeting, In the staff meeting we talked about when we felt most connected or in the moment. I said that I felt in the moment at fireside. Nothing particular about fireside, but sitting on the log, singing and listening to peoples stories, it just felt beautiful.
 Some of the other staff were staying the weekend. for supper we took out some leftovers. I had spaghetti, peas and chicken. for dessert I had a cookie with a chai tea latte. After supper we wanted to watch a movie or two, At first we wanted to watch cheaper by the dozen one and two. we were looking through the movies that they had, and we found the new parent trap. The movie started late, and I was really tired, so I didn't make it very long. I went to bed.

  Saturday August 13th
This morning I slept in until 11:00, and it felt great! When I woke up, I didn't get out of bed right away. I read for a while. by the time I got out of bed and dressed, it was lunch time. some of the staff made cheese bagels and tomato soup, so that's what I had for lunch. After I finished lunch I went back to the mini to read city of glass and have a shower.
 I took this day to do pretty much nothing and just relax. it was getting close to supper time, and I was getting a bit hungry. I went in the kitchen to find something to eat for supper. some of the staff were in the kitchen talking about going to Roseau for supper. Five of us went to Earls drive-inn. I had chicken fingers and fries. When we were finished eating we headed back.
 by the time we got back, it was late so I went to bed.

I hope you enjoyed reading the second half of my first week of my week. My week is too long so I have to split it up in parts, so look for part two and  the rest of weeks.

First week volunteering at Camp Moose Lake in the kitchen 2016 part one

Hello,
How are you doing today?
 This time last summer I was at Camp Moose Lake volunteering in the kitchen. I decided to do the same thing this summer, but instead of two weeks I am doing three weeks.

      Sunday August 7th 2016
Today is the day I head to camp for three weeks.  The first week is junior week, this is also the week that I am in the kitchen with my sister and my cousin. 
 When we got to camp the first thing we did was drop our stuff off in the mini lodge. when all are beds were made we went to the main lodge for the staff meeting. After the staff meeting, I went into the kitchen to start on supper. For supper we were having mashed potato's, gravy, roast beef, peas, and salad. The mashed potato's were done so I just cut cucumbers for the salad.  Supper was done and cleaned up, I had a break. The campers were arriving, so I went outside of the lodge and sat on the bench with my sister and my cousin Sarah while the campers were arriving at camp. When all the campers were here, we went to the R.E.C field to play some games. We played Have you met Bob wiebe, Everyone's it, and Rock, Paper, Scissors extreme. Have you met Bob wiebe is a game that you can get to know campers, and staff names.
    Snack at Camp Moose lake on the first night is always cinnamon buns. But the sad thing is that they were already made before we got to moose, so we didn't get to help make them.  The snack are normally suppose to serve the snack, and there is one person from the kitchen to stay and supervise and make sure they know where everything is, and to sweep. I said that I would stay back for snacks, because I knew how things worked, because I have worked in the kitchen last summer.
I had nothing else to do so I started putting the cinnamon buns on plates. the staff came for snack and they did the rest, and after snack was done they did the dishes. I swept and went back to the mini lodge to play some games.  The three of us played speed, we played about two rounds of speed and then another staff joined in and played one more round. She brought Dutch blitz and the expansion pack, so we played a few rounds with more people. After that I went to bed.
 
     Monday August 8th 2016
Good morning.
I don't really like to admit this but we were a little late to the kitchen this morning because we didn't hear the alarm. Not the best start to the week.  For breakfast we were having pancakes with syrup, breakfast sausages, and fruit. everything was taken care off, so I just served the pancakes.
 After everybody was done eating and it was all cleaned up, we got some stuff ready for lunch and then took a break.  During my break I relaxed in my bed.
    My break was over and I went back to the kitchen to get things ready for tacos. Normally we have taco salad on the last day for lunch, this week we had hard shell tacos. I crushed up my taco shell because It was easier to eat taco salad that way. For dessert we had sheet brownie. I have had this before, but it has recently become my new favourite dessert.

  Tuesday August 9th 2016
     Good morning.  This morning for breakfast we had scrambled eggs, cereal and toast. After breakfast was finished I went to devo's. Devo's were finished so I went back to the kitchen and buttered the bread, and pulled apart cheese for grilled cheese. While we were assembling the grilled cheese, we opened up the window a bit to the listen to the singing during bible.
  The campers were going on campout tonight, so we were getting some stuff ready.
  All the campers and staff had left for campout. It was just the kitchen staff, and the nurse that stayed back. The three of us went for a swim. It was a short swim, because the water was cool. for supper we took out all the leftovers. I made a taco salad with the leftover taco shells.
we decided to watch some movies. We set up the projector and laptop, and then picked a movie. we decided on despicable me 2, and then after that was over, we decided to also watch step up two.
After the movies were over I went to bed because it was late.

I hope you enjoyed reading the first half of my week. My week is too long so I have to split it up in parts, so look for part two and  the rest of weeks.
